Sound designer / music producer — 5-minute atmos

Sound designer / music producer — 5-minute atmospheric instrumental soundscape

I need an original 5-minute instrumental piece in the style of a festival art-installation soundtrack. No vocals. It should loosely reference an existing melody as a recurring motif (melody and private reference shared with shortlisted applicants). A sample outcome is given here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSdiVlDd-VY (check first 2 minutes only; we don't own this YouTube ... video).

Style: cinematic, immersive — sustained drone and pad, organic sound-design textures (conch, ceremonial drums, bells, field recordings), a slow pulse that gradually emerges and thickens, the melody appearing only as fragments that surface and recede. Think "walking through a large art installation at night."

Structure (rough)

0:00–1:30: drone, pad, scattered sound design, near-silence to texture
1:30–3:30: pulse enters and builds, melody fragments grow more recognisable
3:30–5:00: peak density, then settle back to drone for a loop-friendly ending

The piece should loop cleanly (end resolves into the beginning).

Deliverables

Final stereo mix, WAV 48 kHz / 24-bit, plus MP3
Separate stems (drone/pad, sound design, percussion, melody)
Project file (state your DAW)
2 rounds of revisions

Timeline: first draft in 7 days, final in 14 days

All rights in the delivered audio, stems and project files transfer to the buyer on final payment; the producer may list the work in their portfolio only.
