Ask HN: Where can I buy background music for my iOS game

Looking for some background music for my tech startup sim Hipster CEO.

Free is good but happy to pay for premium too. Any help much appreciated!

My friend is a composer and has done work for a bunch of movies and games. If you give me your email/Twitter/Skype/whatever, I'll send you his contact info.

He work is really good, but it's affordable.

AudioJungle[0] probably has what you need. You can find some incredible stuff for less than $20.

David Carney http://www.dvgmusic.com/

John Hughes http://twune.com/

Symphony of Spectres http://www.symphonyofspecters.com/

These guys have all worked on my own and some of my friends' games too.

Thanks! Do you have a link to your games by any chance?

From memory David worked on Trickochet and Survivosaur, Symphony of Specters did Kaleid, John worked on Retromash and I think others. I may have details wrong, it's been a while since I made games.

I used this music for my iPad game[1] and was very happy with it.

I used this site for a corporate video I had to put together. The music/loops aren't free but they have a decent selection and I was happy with the result.

Hey, I am a freelance composer and I'd be willing to make you some competitively priced custom music. Check out some of my work here: https://soundcloud.com/conor-strejcek/sets/portfolio
