Goomin “Nauts” Nam is a renowned composer in his native South Korea, and as a game music enthusiast, I’ve been a longtime fan. When I started Scarlet Moon, it was important to create awareness around the amazing game music coming out of South Korea, including that of Goomin with his work Monarch: Heroes of a New Age, which was one of the first releases on our label. He’s worked on popular titles such as Ragnarok Online, DJMAX, Bar Oasis, Langrisser, and so many more, bringing his incredible melodic sensibilities and production to fans around the globe.

Working on Indie Games
I have been working in the music industry for 23 years now. While I have established a certain level of recognition and reputation in Korea, there are still many more people around the world who are not familiar with me. I would like to introduce myself, an artist who is still a stranger to the global stage, to more people through your precious indie games and the connections I can make through good music. I want to leave an impression that there are musicians in Korea creating this type of music as well.
Favorite Kinds of Projects
First of all, scale is not an issue. I have experience in the production of My strength lies in my ability to tackle a wide range of musical genres. While people often praise my sophisticated melodies and orchestral arrangements, I am capable of working across diverse genres that people are expecting from me. If your projects require high-quality music across a variety of genres, I would be honored if you could consider me as a potential collaborator.
Creative Philosophy
My goal is to create music that remains captivating and never becomes tiresome over time. It is a difficult challenge to produce music that makes players want to revisit the game, but I am constantly working hard to achieve that goal as much as possible.
What Makes Me Unique
Capital is always a critical and fierce element in indie game development. Even without a large budget, I am capable of producing recorded-like orchestral quality music. While I have collaborated with many talented session musicians in Korea to create exceptional music, I do not insist on a substantial upfront investment for indie game developers who are just starting their ventures. I am prepared to provide high-quality music without revealing any weaknesses.
Partnership with Scarlet Moon
Scarlet Moon has always approached me with great care as an artist. They have made various proposals, coordinated, and communicated with me in order to create as much value as possible. Although many years have passed, I have too many reasons to choose Scarlet Moon. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Jayson, who has helped me overcome various challenges with ease.
