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.

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

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.

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

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.

Thanks for the reply. Sure my twitter is @modernprogrammr - would love to check out his stuff.

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