Have you put the loop version on repeat to test if “Prelude to an Adventure” gets annoying after playing nonstop for an hour or two? Tell me about your experience!
Process
I co-hosted a panel on 14 April 2023 with Andrew Luers called Music Composition Speedrun Any% at VGM Con 2023. We randomly selected the prompt “title screen” from a list of video game song and location types and then had the remainder of the panel to write as much as we could, taking turns being hooked up to the projector/speakers and explaining to the audience what we were doing and why.
I ended the panel with a technically complete track but wanted to work on it a bit more on my regular, at-home setup before calling it finished.
