Game devs and filmmakers, what would entice you to pick a free, composed-from-scratch score for your work over free or paid stock/library music?
Is there such a thing as disco house production private lessons? Would really appreciate something like that that would actually help me learn what to do in terms of EDM production, particularly choosing the right sounds and mixing/mastering specific to that genre.
I took Toriel's heartbreaking fast-paced battle theme and turned it into a slower version that sounds like it might play at her funeral and truly makes your heart ache 💔😭 #undertale #toriel #heartache

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains. There are a number of amazing albums in the 90s, but this one really is special.

Watched the 15th day of the Nagoya basho live from the comfort of my home thanks to streaming, but reflected on the fact that, 25 years ago, I got to see Kaio win the basho in person in Nagoya. Hard to think about how long ago that was and how much time has passed. #sumo

I’ve always wondered why chiptune rock bands have album releases that are usually less rock-y than their live shows. I feel like the albums are mostly chiptune with maybe one or two guitar parts, but the live show is a full rock band with a Game Boy.
I just discovered an exotica arrangement of Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, and now you will, too: aaronwyanski.bandcamp.com/album/schoen...

If all VRChat players are characters within VRChat, then is all music in VRChat worlds technically diegetic then? #ludomusicology #vrchat

Despite the usual trouble I have memorizing lyrics, I realize that I’ll probably know the Esperanto version of Auld Lang Syne for the rest of my life.

The wild thing about being able to see when you get Shazamed is the realization that not only does someone have to be playing your music somewhere, but that there’s another person present who likes what they’re hearing enough to take out their phone and hit a button. #shazam
There is something deeply, profoundly sad about Dragon Quest games. It's hard to pinpoint exactly, but it's present in all aspects of the games: the art, story, and especially the music.
