CAN CHARACTERS HEAR MUSIC?
š If the characters canāt hear the music, why do they keep responding to it?
šµ If a character reuses a tune, borrows someone elseās, or sings a melody they āshouldnātā knowā¦ thatās not an accident. Thatās story.
š When you assume the characters CAN hear their musical world, suddenly the score becomes a map: memory, desire, pressure, connection, change.
š§© And yes, you can choose to ignore that. But that choice cuts you off from playable meaning the composer already handed you.
š„ The music is never arbitrary. Treat it like given circumstances and the whole show gets deeper.
