Thank you @VGMCon for showing up and showing out! I had a wonderful time meeting new people and catching up with familiar faces. For my Layering Leitmotif peeps, in the quotes tweet I have some resources, and I'll post more in the replies

Nobuo Uematsu is an absolute beast when it comes to creating recurring themes and leitmotifs. This series of videos by @mittopotahis
for Game Score Fanfare perfectly outlines how this was accomplished in Final Fantasy

In this interview, Steven Universe composers @aivisura explain how they craft musical identities for each character and how those are layered when they fuse https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/rq4nzx/steven-universe-composers-aivi-surrashu-interview

And when it comes to using leitmotif to foreshadow events or drop little crumbs about how characters and objects, this is a short but incredibly informative video from @OngakuConcept about just that with an example from Pokémon Sun/Moon

I'd also just like to thank @The_Toader, @8bitMusicTheory, @SmartGamePiano, @MattKenyonMusic, @leit_motive, and everyone else for putting on great panels and playing great music. I had fun meeting you all and I'm already looking forward to my next adventure!

Yeah but first I'm going to sleep. Night
