Gamer Grooves is the step by step system that shows you exactly how to build melodies, motifs and full game ready tracks.
The kind that make players lean forward in their seats and say "ooooh" instead of "yeah, that sounds basic."
Write game music that sounds composed, not random
Motif control
Build melodies from tiny ideas
See how iconic game melodies grow from one motif. Then turn 2 simple ideas into looping themes that feel intentional.
Form control
Make music sound composed
Use subphrase frameworks like AAAB, ABAC and AAB, so your music sounds composed, not stitched together.
Volume control
Finish more sketches
Compose 10 to 30 short sketches per framework instead of agonizing over one perfect track.
Five steps from a tiny idea to a finished game track
Tap a step to see what is inside.
1. Motif Lab: build a whole theme from 1 or 2 tiny ideas
How great themes are made from 1 or 2 tiny ideas.
2. Subphrase Systems: vary one idea so it never gets repetitive
Diminution, expansion, rhythmic variation, reordering, AAB, ABAC, AABA, AAAB and more.
3. Form for Video Game Music: pick the right shape for each scene
AB, ABC, ostinato form, riff driven sections, minimalist pieces, through composed pieces and song form adapted for games.
4. High Rep Sketch Training: finish 10 to 30 sketches per framework
10 to 30 short sketches per framework, so you stop overthinking and start building muscles.
5. Community Review and Feedback: get notes on your sketches from game music coaches and peers
Share sketches with coaches and peers who are focused on game music, not generic pop.
