"Perhaps a useful idea is whether the composer themselves was thinking in your terms and consciously constructing from theoretical concepts or just writing music to sound a bit errie and strange. I would say it is the latter. Theory after all exists…"
"If you want to study video game music, these guys talk about it pretty extensively. I found their podcast on iTunes, but I'm sure it's also other places.

"The easiest answer to the initial question ("how do they come up with this stuff?") is that they don't. They simply figure out some basic methodology, which by the way you seem to have reverse engineered with enough accuracy to make use of it…"

"I must disagree, if more than one person writes something using an unusual combination of notes/noises/effects, you can bet your heinie somebody's written a book or article and consequently made it a "technique". Furthermore, I recognise many of the…"
"I don't reckon there is any technique or genre to this (other than the track meeting the requirement of a game). It sounds like the performer has enough musical savvy to string a phrase together, probably made a few notations then dribbled out a…"

Well, there are those who would not put those two words together. Not me, of course.
You've already done enough analyzing of Crown Dungeon to tell you what you need to know about how he wrote it. "

"There are many names depending on each technique, unfortunately I have never been very good at names for things... I don't think the composition you quoted uses serialism or twelve tone rows, that's a very specific sound that I'm definitely not…"
