Hello human beings!!! I am Player XT and today is...

just a regular post...

...

Yes, no devlog, no demo 4, just a filler episode talking a little more about the most important aspects of my games, that's right...

THE MUSIC...

(if you disagree, I'm sorry to inform you, but your opinion is invalid)

I was going to talk specifically about the soundtrack of the be cube demo 4, but I decided to talk in a more general way, after all, all my projects were important for the knowledge I have today in this area.

But... enough of this rambling! It's time to start, at the beginning of everything...

It all started when I was born, I was just an innocent baby when my father gave me a guitar and...

just kidding, I don't know how to play a single instrument, I don't know how to play the piano, nor the guitar, and much less the theremin (and yes, this instrument exists), all I know is that "do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do" exists, so then you ask me "so how do you make music for your games?" and the answer is simple...

TECHNOLOGY...

I use music programs to create... songs, but I confess that I have a certain dream of learning to play the guitar...

(I just need my fingers to have the courage to do it...)

But it wasn't always like this, I started learning to create music a year ago... I think... before, I used free music from YouTube for my projects, so much so that if you play demos 1 and 2 of Be Cube, you'll find several of them there, but I always wanted to create music for my projects, so much so that before I learned to compose, I had already created the Be Cube theme song... in my head...

(yes, maybe I'm a little crazy)

So, with this strange mind of mine, it was only a matter of time until I found a way to make these ideas a reality, and that's what happened, I started testing several music composition programs until I found one that I liked and... I started creating!

At first, of course, all my songs were bad, but little by little I learned techniques and today... I'm the Einstein of music...

Just kidding, I still don't know anything about music theory or all that stuff that a professional knows.

So how do I make music? The answer is simple, my human friend...

I don't know!

(yeeeayyy)

I just... feel them, I go by the feel (I think), I test the notes and see which one fits best, and when I feel that it's good... then it's good!

But, of course I know the basics, I know that a song is divided into parts, I know that electronic music loves to create those rhythmic ladders as if it were holding pressure to release everything at the end, and I know that there are patterns that the brain unconsciously expects or predicts when listening to music, I know these things, I just... I don't know how to explain it in a formal way, do you want proof of that?

If you asked me "What is music?" I would say it is...

A hamburger (yes, a hamburger) that you buy at a fast food restaurant, the meat is the main star and the lettuce, tomato, sauces, etc., are the complement, together, they create a wonderful flavor! BUT... if the hamburger is drowned in ketchup or the lettuce is as hard as a rock, this will affect the entire hamburger, everything needs to be in tune for it to be delicious.

That's how I see music.

(lol)

And I think that's it, I don't have a long story about how I discovered this area, or anything like that, I just... needed music, so I learned to make music, and nowadays I think it's cool to make music.

I could go into more depth about how I compose music for Be Cube, or my other projects, but I'll leave that for another day, until then...
