"King on the Mountain" || Original Game Music and Sound

A building game with a twist developed and designed for the 49th Ludum Dare. The theme of the game followed the concept of 'Unstable'.

Cover art by Alberto Palacios de la Torre

"A kingdom in ruins from times past foretells a hero who would bring balance and stability across the land. His greatest accomplishment, however, would also be his greatest test, for at the top of the highest mountain will his kingdom stand, defying all laws of physics. He who is destined to rule and fulfil the unstable prophecy shall henceforth be crowned the title of King on the Mountain."

For this I had to both write the music and design the sounds in less than 48 hours. Given the theme and the concept of the game, I attempted to make it sound like a carnival attraction, using all elements (melodic/harmonic/rhythmic) to help emphasise the sensation of losing your stability.

"Deliver the goods to the appropriate local "cat" in Madrid before time runs out!"

It is unusual for a composer to attend these events, as they're usually intended for developers and visual artists, however, I've personally found much use and benefit in part-taking in them.

Not only are they a highly pragmatic way to demonstrate your skills, compositional prowess, and resourcefulness in a short amount of time, but they're also a great way to connect with other people from different departments and industries outside of your immediate field of vision (and maybe make some new friends along the way).

Such was the case with this particular Jam, which not only supplied me with a hungry batch of new teammates for whom I had the pleasure to showcase my work, but it also gave me the excuse to create a new, satisfactory, and colourfully varied list of soundscapes and jingles for everyone to enjoy.

I hope you have as much fun listening to them as I had creating them!

To everyone who took part in the event, my thanks and hats off to you!

MARCH || Final Level Music for "Madrid Legacy"

Media Music Composer || Sound Designer

Hello! My name is Javier Belmer, and I'm a Spanish music composer for media and sound designer. Thank you for stopping by my page!

I'm currently undergoing my Master's at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in Switzerland, with a strong interest and focus on media, including corporate branding and video games. Comprehension, clear communication and trust between me and my client have been key points in my workflow. This has allowed me to write music and sound design for a variety of platforms and artistic formats, short films, video games, documentaries, advertisement and branding campaigns, in both professional and academic environments.

It goes without saying that I have a great passion for Music and Sound, whether composing, songwriting, recording, designing... On the side, I enjoy taking part in Game Jams and project collaborations with people from all over the world, and it’s given me a lot of opportunities to expand my creativity, meet different developers, artists and designers, as well as test both my work efficiency and my limits. I also enjoy listening and playing music. I play drums, piano and guitar, I sing, as well as have a unique aptitude for making impressions and sounds with my own voice, which I frequently use in my compositions and sound works. Ask anyone, they'll tell you I'm a music/noise box.

I’m also an art, literary, film, photography, design, video game, theatre and television enthusiast. I enjoy sailing, cycling, hiking, sightseeing and socialising with peers.

If you wish to contact me, please do so through here, or any of the links on my profile at your disposal. Thank you for your time and I hope to collaborate with you in the future!
