Retro Indie Josh
Hello, world! I'm Josh, composer and sound designer for games.
My music packs are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, which means you can use them free in any project (even commercial) as long as you include credit. But please consider supporting future music by purchasing a pack if you use it. This really helps!
I also host game jams for the 8 Bits to Infinity community.
Need an audio guy for a game jam? Let me know! These are a great way for me to practice and expand my portfolio, so I'm often looking for jams to join. (Should go without saying, I don't expect compensation for a jam.)
