I want to channel the power tony zhou had when he took a shot at the homogeneity of blockbuster film musical scores, but towards the music of AAA western games
no leitmotifs. no melodies. just BackgroundMusic™ and nothing else
I can't make a blanket statement of "western game composers" because (when they have a good amount of creative freedom) the grant kirkhopes, jesper kyds, and mick gordons of the world do make their styles clear and present. if your game director wants bear mccreary. you're going to get something flat and generic
