Arkhand Music
Stream/Video BGM, SFX, & More~
About Arkhand
Hi, I'm Arkhand - a therapist by day and musician and streamer by night/whenever I find free time. My style can be described as chill video-game BGM, though I also have some experience on lofi, kawaii bass, and synthwave. I'm down to try anything!
I have done various music commissions for several indie VTubers/artists, talents of VTuber Corporations (HololiveEN, Phase Connect), and 7MDigital/his art team 7MC. I also do fan tracks and video game remixes for fun!
Contact
The best way to contact me is either here, Twitter DMs, email or Discord. Please keep in mind my terms and conditions before commissioning!
Price List
All prices include commercial use
BGM Loop (60-120+ Seconds)
$150-200
Loopable BGM you can play for starting/ending, just chatting...etc. Price will vary depending on instrumentation, complexity, length. Average length is about 90 seconds.
BGM and SFX combo
$200+
BGM Loop with 2-3 SFX based on the BGM. This is inclusive of both, though SFX are valued lower because they are effectively produced in the BGM itself! Useful if you like having a recurring theme across your stream.
Animal Crossing/Stardew-like BGM (~30-60 Seconds)
~$80-120
~45-60 BGM second loop with 3-4 instruments and percussion. Comparable to simple Animal Crossing tracks (for example, guitar, bass, accordion, percussion)
I also can do even more limited instrumentation (ex: just piano, music box) like this for a bit longer at around same price!
"skeb"
$50-75
A one-time, no changes request. You pay upfront and take what you get, like skeb! This work will mostly be streamed as well. Price varies depending on complexity/genre.
SFX (2-5 seconds)
~$8-10 each
Custom SFX for alerts (follows, subscribe, etc). My samples can be found on Soundcloud:

Price depends on changes requested/complexity.
Original Song
$500+
An full original song just for you - this will include the full instrumental and topline for melody. Additional mix/mastering will be extra depending on what else is needed. Length is around 3 minutes or so.
Instrumental (Cover)
~$300+
I can make an instrumental for a song you are covering! Genres I've done:
Eurobeat
Happy Hardcore
Future Bass
LoFi
Rock/Metalcore
Please keep in mind if there is no existing midi/sheet music/ other similar reference available for your song, it will take me significantly longer to cover since I will be transcribing it by ear. I will credit anyone who's transcription I use.
Variants
Varies
You may also request for variations (ex: music box variant) of your piece for a small fraction of the original price, the price will vary depending on how much additional work it is.
For example, a full remix may be treated as an entirely new BGM, a slight variation in production or something with minimal instrumentation will be significantly less.
Others
Let's Talk!
If you'd like another music or sound-based project from me that isn't listed here, let's talk about it! Send me an email at my listed address or a message on Twitter/Discord!
Other things I've done include remixes, ambience, original song tracks, and mixing (mostly for personal projects).
Commission ToS
Please read before contacting about commissions!
* Price listed is USD. I accept payment through Paypal invoicing.
* Prices may slightly vary depending on complexity and length - for example, less instrumentation will be on the lower end, more instruments/sound design increase the price towards the higher end.
* I will send you a very rough draft before requesting payment. We can discuss limited changes as the music progresses. Please be aware that for significant/multiple changes, I reserve the right to increase the price.
* By agreeing to commission me, you also agree to me potentially streaming some of my work on your piece(s). I am also okay to work on it privately at your request, but please note that this may result in a longer wait. For non-disclosure agreement work, all work will remain strictly private until after the piece is released, of course.
* I reserve the right to prioritize works with NDA, tight deadlines, corporate requests, or projects I feel more qualified for.
* You may use my music on Twitch, YouTube, and for promotional videos. I humbly ask that you credit me as well! Linking my Twitter account is enough.
* When commissioning me, it is very helpful to provide examples or similar vibes/tracks you are looking for. Even better, I'd love to know your preferred instrumentation!
* Due to my work schedule, I am unable to take on multiple commissions at once/have a waitlist. Currently, I can take on 2-3 requests at a time every 4 weeks or so. Please understand this and if I am unable to take your commission or feel unqualified, I may open more up in the future.
