About me

My Name is Jens from ExplorerAUDIO also known as

The Chiptune Composer

As Explorer2000, I compose authentic pixel art & retro game music inspired by NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy and C64 sound aesthetics. In fact, I don’t just imitate retro sound — I write music that behaves as if it belongs to the hardware your game is inspired by.

Moreover, my focus is not just making music for your game — it’s making your game truly your game. I write music that supports gameplay flow, emotional pacing and world-building from day one. Whether it’s main themes, dungeon loops or full indie OST production, I collaborate closely with developers to create cohesive soundtracks that feel intentional and technically clean.

However, AI-generated music might seem like a quick solution, yet it falls short where it matters. It doesn’t understand gameplay, nor does it adapt to pacing, and it can’t guarantee consistency across a full soundtrack. Most importantly, it doesn’t create identity — and without a clear musical identity, your game risks sounding generic.

With structured workflow, clear communication and reliable delivery, each project is priced individually depending on scope, track count and implementation needs. As a result, you’ll receive a clear, transparent quote after a short project brief.

So, if you’re building a retro-inspired game and want music that truly fits your world, let’s talk.

★★★★★

Noah from Arkade Games WI, USA

Based off the strength of my first engagement with Jens, I decided to hire him for a longer term project I have. I am absolutely thrilled with the results I continue to get from him. I’m never not given something we can work from up front, and his openness to feedback and quick turnaround times are a breath of fresh air. I often feel like I can’t keep up with him! Absolutely fantastic experience, and I will continue to work with him for the foreseeable future.

Aljosha from Peru

Working with Jens, was really a magnificent process, all the additional value that is given by his services of voice over value every cent that is paid. The audio is really exceptional, and for the communication, he was always communicating every step that he was doing during the record process and editing. I will continue working with him for future projects definitely.
