Music in progress

This blog post will be about my music in the making. I am currently working on some jazzy, bebop music for the game project. I will not post any example in this post but I will however post later this weekend the complete version. I chose jazzy bebop cause I want it to feel old fashioned and classy. It will bring much to the game I believe. Some of the best music I’ve listened to is from video games. I’ve always been inspired by many good soundtracks from games. Some of my favourite music in video games is Banjo Kazooie, World of Warcraft, Zelda and Grim Fandango. I like Zelda and Banjo Kazooie because of their playfulness and unique tunes. I love World of Warcraft and other Blizzard music for it’s epicness and well orchestrated sounds. Grim Fandango is one of my biggest inspirations for this project, it’s jazzy feel fits what I’m looking for.

I’m not only listening to video game music, when trying to replicate a sound you have to research as much as possible. I’ve listened many hours to jazz and bebop music lately. I’ve also drawn inspiration from Cowboy Bebop’s soundtrack. To make something you first need to understand it, only then can you correctly replicate it and creating something you can call your own.

I’m teasing a bit by not showing the music, but it’s not done yet. I will make a post later showing my results. Thanks for reading!
