Writing Game Music : Part 2


Welcome! Hopefully you've read part one of this article, which deals with basic music notation, and how to write it. If you already have had music education, (or if you had just read part I,) and you just want to learn how to get the creativity to come up with songs, then this is what this article will discuss.

Let's see....here's the basic agenda for this article. Part one will talk about techniques to expand your creativity. Part II's gonna talk about ways to change a song idea into a computer file with sequencers and synthesizers, and how to choose a file format. Finally, Part III will enlighten you with a brief example of writing down a basic theme and changing it into a song. So get a little notepad to take down some notes, and let's get started!
