Join a community of storytellers exploring how film, TV, and game scores move us – and what they can teach us about our own creativity.
Keeping a steady practice of close listening and real conversation around film, TV, and game music is hard. Does any of this sound familiar?
“I feel the emotional impact of the music, but I can’t explain why.” You feel moved but struggle to find how to do it yourself. Your creative choices start to feel a bit arbitrary because you struggle to name what actually worked.
“I love talking about my favorite scores, but I’m doing it alone.” You want someone who hears what you hear and gets just as excited to go deeper. Doing it alone is unmotivating, and without a shared conversation it's easy to stop making time for it.
“I want to implement what I learn into my own music, but I keep procrastinating.” You get stuck in “prep” (new libraries, workflows, tutorials, more theory) so the actual creative process keeps getting pushed. This lack of actual momentum leads to a creative stand-still!
“I’m trying to find my musical voice, but my music feels directionless" Your drafts sound competent but generic, so you tweak instead of finishing and feel less proud to share.

Not just for a week or two but long enough to wonder if I’d lost the my passion. Here’s what brought me back.
When I was younger, I was obsessed with the special features on those two-disc DVDs...
The behind-the-scenes looks at how a movie came together. I loved hearing composers and filmmakers talk about how they shaped a scene or followed a character’s arc through music.
That’s what first made me fall in love with the idea that music could tell stories.
As a kid, I was always sharing stories.
Sketching characters, making up card games, drawing maps of places that didn’t exist...
Even before I knew what composition was, I was already thinking in terms of worlds and themes. Every story I made had its own lore, its own tone, even its own sound.
But somewhere along the way, I lost that.
I got so focused on the technicalities of music theory, template workflows, MIDI mockups that I forgot why I was writing in the first place.
I stopped finishing my initial ideas, stopped feeling inspired, and started wondering if I’d ever find my own voice again.
What brought me back was reconnecting with story...
Rewatching my favorite films.
Listening to my favorite scores.
Surrounding myself with the art, books, and small pieces of those worlds that first made all of this feel magical!
That sense of curiosity came back, and with it, that drive to create again!
Coming back to story changed the way I listen and the way I write. But keeping that spark alive is hard to do alone. It grows when you share what you’re hearing, compare notes, and let great scores remind you why this matters.
That’s why I created this community.
A home to slow down and really listen. To ask why film, TV, and game scores impact us the way they do, how themes carry characters, and what a few notes can say about a world.
