Horror & Synthwave Music for Film, TV & Games
If you’re looking to hire a horror composer, you’ve found one: Weary Pines is an 80s horror and synthwave scoring studio, writing original horror music for film, TV, documentaries and games – the composers behind In Search of Darkness and In Search of Tomorrow.
Weary Pines is Jamie Chambers and Don McLennan Jr – two horror film composers who write original scores blending analogue synthesizers with live orchestration. If you’re trying to find a horror composer who understands the genre from the inside, not just the sound of it, we’re horror fans first and composers second.
Our work spans horror documentaries, feature films, indie horror games and short horror films, with credits including the In Search of Darkness franchise. Whether you need an 80s horror composer for a retro synth score or a horror music composer who can also write for live orchestra, that’s the range we work across.
Every project starts with a conversation, not a contract. Here’s roughly how it goes.
Tell us about your project – genre, tone, timeline and budget. We’ll ask the right questions to understand the story you’re telling.
We write a short sample cue so you can hear the direction before committing to the full score.
Once you’re happy with the direction, we score the full project – analogue synths, live orchestration, or a blend of both.
Stems and final mixes delivered in whatever format your edit needs, with revisions built into the process.

Whether it’s a feature, a documentary, a short or a game – tell us what you’re working on and let’s talk music.
