1,000+ Hours invested, Now Soundtrack[Read]

Have you ever wondered how musicians influence people to like fictional characters along emotional arcs? The phenomenon is not much different than the clever use of Ads to manipulate you.

On my personal time, I've spent hundreds of hours iterating on my own music to the extent that I've produced countless audio tracks, have a listen: https://suno.com/playlist/7e41cc03-27fa-4f75-bb77-b9435be5fc7d.

In the interests of openness and transparency, what I've learned is that one can world build with music as much as from pencil sketching. I'm speaking as an artist who once relied on game soundtracks and movie scores to get into my own creative flowstate-- before making my own, and I've always wondered what it was about the music that made my imagination feel more whimsical. I could see scenes play out in a dimension different that the canvas-- I had more control architecting what I world-built.

I studied Martin O Donnel's soundtrack in Halo Combat Evolved, broke down specific instruments from Game of Thrones as well as Lord of The Rings scores, and contemplated what made Star Wars moments like The Jedi Temple March iconic. My findings were that music is a means of pulling listeners heartstrings.... In the order of operations, its crucial for world building and forming an iconic identity for intellectual property.

I've been obsessed with this such that, when driving in the company of my wife, I shift genres to not overstimulate her; yet its study that carries over from jazz to metal, from metal to movie score.

I get that the notion of a.i assisted anything pisses a lot of creatives off, and this is not an appeal to those archetypes-- If you are apart of the same cohort as I am, a creative with talented friends who don't help, you have the means to execute your vision without relying on or taking from another, and with respect to personal projects and sweat equity, absent of help, self reliance is the best help. That said, please find inspiration from my playlist, wherever it may bring you.

I wouldn't share it if I didnt think it'd make much a difference to someone, somewhere.

[To my doubters who assumed I've learned nothing from the practice from both listening and doing for so long; you're out of your rabbit ass mind]
