I want to learn how to compose music for my game but I don't know the first thing about music.

I searched on YouTube but I don't know if it's my for you page or what, I never got a decent video on the subject.

Can anyone suggest where to start. I would really appreciate that.

Let me know if this helped you out. Can’t wait to make part 2 👌🏾

We're headed out for a nice peaceful day at the country club with some super chill golf VGM - featuring 16-bit enthusiast and fellow VGM podcaster, Professor Tom of Shujin Academy VGM Club

Let's get that gold jacket, baby ⛳

I always thought the Saturn has some really relaxing OSTs (I'm looking at you, Panzer Dragoon series, Astal, NiGHTS, etc). So, I put together a playlist of some of the best tracks for an hour of audio tranquillity. Hope you enjoy them. What Saturn OSTs are your favorites?

Hello everyone I stumbled upon this super smash bros ultimate short and wanted to know the name of the music that plays in the background. It sounds like a remix of a game OST.

I tried Shazam but that didnt't work then I tried to simply find it on YouTube, hoping it's an in-game ost but found out in shock that the playlist had multiple videos over 2 hours long. I search for over an hour before giving up. Sorry if this seems lazy of me.

Hello fellow Stalkers,

maybe you guys are able to help me: I'm looking for a piece of the Soundtrack included in Gamma. It stands out to me by being very quiet and having some 'vocals' which sound not like singing but more like a very melancholic wailing after which the music picks up a bit more. I think I've heard it in the southern regions like Garbage, Cordon or the Swamp. I'd be absolutely grateful if anybody here is able to help me out.

Hey guys! I hope you'll check out my piano arrangement of Song of Storms. I've been working on it for the last couple months and really put my all into it. Let me know what you think! If you like it, consider liking the video and/or subscribing to my Youtube channel :)

Hey guys, I want to know what vsts/plugins or daws you use to compose music

Writing music for video games, it’s sometimes fun to look back at the creative brief and the musical references that went into making a track what it is today.

I wrote this piece of music for a goldmine level in the video game, Bang-on Balls: Chronicles - a chaotic, fun 3D platformer (like a mix of Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot) where you play as a bouncy ball character, BOB, exploring large, destructible, historically-themed open worlds (Vikings, Space Race, Wild West, etc.)

For the Wild West expansion of the game, I was brought back to write the bouncy, punchy tracks needed to bring this American West map of the game to life through music. In this goldmine level, we had a variety of musical references including the song 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford, Luigi’s Mansion, and Wild West saloon songs. I combined all of this into a jazzy, western-feeling, bouncy track that sometimes echoes like it’s playing through the caverns of a deep, sometimes spooky, goldmine.

This section was largely inspired by the drum break and instrumental build in the jazz standard Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing) by Benny Goodman’s Big Band with Gene Krupa playing that iconic tom line on the drums. Here, I’m using bending clarinets and trombone glissandi to underscore the spooky, queasy, but ultimately jazzy feel to this goldmine cavern level as we ride the roller coaster of the old-timey cart tracks throughout the cave.

Composing a video game track like this is a real blast. I hope that seeing some of the references that went into the brief for this track is a fun look into all the small creative choices that make up an indie game soundtrack!

I definitely had a lot of fun composing for this game!

The Minecraft music, at the end of Aria Math always brings tears. I can never leave it behind. Just came back to it

"You never truly quit Minecraft, you just take long breaks." Is soo true 😭

I hope you enjoy this remix. I made this by remaking the theme in the style of the T&T or GS3 Sound font.
