well game making it was just for the fun of creation mostly, although when I started on an Earthbound type game it was because not enough media existed that gave me the same vibe as Earthbound, so I wanted to attempt to continue a similar story.
With music, it's again, a little like my influences, but it might be inspired by a single track off an obscure EP or something, where I wanted to continue the story of that song and go off on a tangent the actual artist was unwilling to go on because they had their own trains of thought. Although I'd say with most of my tracks, I can't hear any single track that I'm trying to emulate, very rarely I intended it as a 1>1 kind of emulation of the original track/album. So I guess I went off on a tangent a lot more than I realized. Maybe other people think 'oh this sounds like Warp Records circa 1994' but I don't really get that vibe anymore.
So really just chasing a certain vibe that I couldn't find, or couldn't find enough of
