[LFG] Looking for producer/composer for a personal one-song project (metal / atmospheric / emotional)
I’m looking to collaborate with one artist to build a single, personal-use song. This is not for release, streaming, or profit. I just want something that exists and is done right.
I’m open to compensating for time and effort, and I’d prefer to start with smaller pieces first before committing fully.
What I’m trying to create:
I’m not looking for a typical song or just something heavy.
I want something that:
starts calm, almost peaceful, but slightly off
slowly builds into something more aggressive and unstable
has moments that feel powerful, but not permanent
never fully resolves… more like a cycle than a clean ending
The goal is something that feels meaningful at first, then gradually breaks down, becomes uncomfortable or intrusive, and has moments of resistance… but never fully escapes.
Influences / direction:
Archspire
Lorna Shore
Lamb of God
Shadow of Intent
Also softer contrast like:
Lord Huron
Anson Seabra
I’m interested in blending atmosphere, tension, and controlled chaos.
How I want to work:
Start with a small test (riff, section, or concept)
If it clicks, build it out further
I’m open to collaboration, but I want someone who can also help guide structure and composition
What I’m looking for:
Someone comfortable with dynamic songwriting (not just constant heavy)
Someone who understands pacing, tension, and emotional build
What to send:
Examples of your work (especially anything dynamic or emotional)
How you usually like to collaborate
