About HydroGene

HydroGene is the YouTube channel of a French indie game developer and composer who publishes video game soundtracks, fan arrangements and remixes. Most videos are full-length tracks of two to five minutes, often built around retro role-playing games and rock or metal reinterpretations. The channel's own description, along with its links, says composition commissions are open.

The channel has about 2,200 subscribers and around 210 median views per video, with roughly 30 uploads a year. Its audience is most likely gamers and game-music fans, skewing toward English speakers, though these figures are estimates rather than platform data. Recent uploads include soundtrack work for indie titles, and the description names composers such as Motoi Sakuraba and Tomohito Nishiura as style references.

Brands seeking a sponsored video should expect a rate of $150 to $250 per video. That works out to a CPM of about $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, compared with $10 to $30 for paid ads. The channel suits game launches, music licensing and commissioned soundtrack projects rather than mass-reach campaigns.
