In todayโs episode, I create some fantasy music inspired by the classic video game Diablo.
The idea is that I combine some classical guitar-style writing with Dungeon ambient music (an offshoot of Dungeon synth).
๐๐ป Just as a side note - I was lucky enough to have my music used on a trailer for Diablo 2 ๐ฅณ

I have been obsessed with Dungeon Synth over the last couple of months. I stumbled upon Witch Bolt on YouTube which opened up a huge YouTube rabbit hole for me.
As a kid of the 80s and 90s playing RPG games, Warhammer and other fantasy-based TV/Games/movies were a huge part of my childhood.
As a teenager, the world of Rock and Metal became my musical identity.
Little did I know that something called โDungeon Synthโ was what was forming when those two worlds collided.
Iโll be honest, I did not even realise that Dungeon Synth was a thing, much like Slowcore music. I love all these sub-genres that are popping up because of the niche internet communities it is AWESOME!
I have already released an ambient Dungeon Synth album through my project, Dryadโs Grove which was a huge amount of fun.
In this episode, I am embracing old-school fantasy RPG score-style Dungeon Synth and I am having a huge amount of fun doing it!
The wonderful combination of story-telling and fantasy realms conveyed sonically with a cinematic vocabulary is so much fun to produce and very much suited to my skillset as a composer.

I have been creating music professionally for over 10 years and one of the most important things for us as music makers to understand is to know how to create the right mood.
Mood, vibes, feeling, atmosphere; all these things are central to what we do.
Sometimes, however, we get lost in the details; the progressions, the structure, the melody, the samples etc. And we forget what matters mostโฆ
Are we communicating the right mood in our music?
This is something I have noticed a huge amount in the rise of streaming and playlists - people, myself included, want to curate a vibe with the music they consume.
So not only am I seeing the importance of mood in production music but also in commercial music.
This week I suggest that you practice creating a vibe with your music. If that means you break a rule of structure or form then so be it. If your music communicates the right vibe then it is going to win on so many fronts.
Donโt get lost in the detail, create a vibe, create a mood and let yourself enjoy that.
