Abstract: This paper documents my composition techniques, and the modern digital media I employ to produce works inspired by video game music. I write about my thought process and the general considerations I have for each piece, before going into details about specific procedures. The general considerations include: choice of Digital audio workspace (DAW), instruments I use, ways in which I use automation on instrument parameters, and I write about how sometimes I choose to work within limitations of DAW’s for authenticity. This paper covers nine pieces of work presented at my master’s degree recital on the 17th of April, 2024 and draws examples from each about my process.
