Commissions
Commission original music for your game, film or campaign.
I write bespoke scores — music that belongs to one project and could not have been pulled from a library. Recent work includes the original score for Among the Trolls and the orchestral rebuild of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons; before that, twenty years of music for brands like Barilla, Bose, Nintendo and PlayStation.
For games that means more than delivering tracks: themes designed to survive hours of play, stems built for adaptive systems, and implementation that respects how your engine actually breathes. For film and advertising it means music written to picture, with real players when the story earns them.
One composer, a small practice, no roster. If the fit is right, you deal with the person writing the notes.

Straight answers
- Can I commission music for an indie game?
- Yes — indie and AA games are the heart of the practice. Among the Trolls (AvantGarden Games · 505 Games) and the remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons were both scored end to end: themes, adaptive layers, implementation-ready stems.
- How does a bespoke score work with adaptive audio?
- The music is written in stackable layers from the first sketch, so it arrives ready for vertical layering and quantised transitions in Wwise or FMOD — exploration, tension and combat sharing one harmonic bed instead of colliding as separate cues.
- What does commissioning original music cost?
- It depends on scope — minutes of music, live players, exclusivity. Write with what the project needs and you will get a plain answer within one business day. Where a full commission is out of reach, the Danca catalogue licenses finished tracks and stems.
- Do you work with live musicians?
- Whenever the music calls for it. Brothers was re-recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra and choir; Among the Trolls runs on cello, voices, piano and a Prophet 10, recorded and then bent into something new.
Need finished music rather than a commission? The Danca catalogue licenses 60 releases and 700+ stems for sync.
