As a composer, writing and coming up with a theme for anything can be quite a challenge, so today we're gonna play a game to help you develop a theme. It's called the association game, and it helps you connect the story to the music. Playing it gives you a roadmap to your music and themes, and whenever you need to change or use something, you can simply look at your notes and pinpoint what you need.

That is really interesting stuff, even for a non-composer like me. ;) I love the way you describe the process behind a character theme in such detail.

I am an animation college student, doing my homework before the deadline and I wanted to make a theme song for my character who is a shapeshifter thief with a secretive/unknown past. I found your video and this is really interesting!

Great guidance. I found this video 3 years later as a bassist getting started with songwriting.

Everybody should watch things like this. I suddenly feel like I have a framework to create a theme from. Considering I was punching in the dark before….

This is so useful! I've always tried to make musics pops in my head until it matches the character before, but it never really worked. This totally changes the way I make music now! Your channel is very-too-much underated I find.
