What We Do
Original Scores for Games That Tell Stories
Slade Audio is a boutique music composition studio run by Austin Slade, a composer and music director based in Austin, Texas. The studio specializes in cinematic scoring for indie games and story-driven media.
Working with a boutique studio means the music gets the attention it deserves. Every score is crafted to a high standard, delivered on schedule, and priced openly from the start. No vague quotes, no moving targets, no surprises at the end.
Every project is handled personally. You'll work directly with the composer, not a project manager, which means faster communication, fewer revisions, and music that actually fits your game.
Who This Is For
Built for Indie Developers and Independent Creators
You need adaptive music
Adaptive scoring, where music reacts to player state rather than looping a single track, is technically complex to compose and implement.
You want a clear process
Pricing is published upfront. The workflow is structured around milestones so you always know what's coming next.
