Hi! I'm a huge fan who originally found out about you all from Over the Garden Wall. You've inspired many pieces I've written and continue to write.

​

I have a few questions if you all wouldn't mind answering:

1. How do you come up with such catchy melodies and harmonies? I'm amazed when listening to the OTGW soundtrack how I was still humming along to the tunes after not hearing them for around a year and a half. I'd have to say Prelude is my favorite piece from the soundtrack, such a soothing piece.

2. Who are your biggest influences? Who would you recommend to listen to to someone who wants to delve further into the kind of music you guys write?

3. Do you have your sheet music online anywhere? I'd love to analyze your pieces more if I could without having to rely on possibly wrong fan transcriptions.

4. Favorite movie?

​

Thank you for all the good memories and warm feelings, you harmonic geniuses, you!

I'd love to share my pieces with you guys! I'll upload my stuff and PM it to yall. Currently not home right now.

And you caught me, I'm a huge theory nerd! Just finished up the music theory program at community college and applied to colleges, waiting to hear a response!

That's a great idea, putting things in SATB voicing, I never thought of that! Thanks for the Tchaikovsky book and artist recommendations, I have a lot to look up, which I love haha I'll be up late tonight!

I was hoping to look at Prelude, Off to Bed and Everything is Nice and Fine if that wouldn't be too much to ask! But honestly I'd be fine with whatever you got!

You hit the nail on the head. Definitely one of the reasons I'm into music, trying to evoke emotions that you guys made me feel. I'm seriously happy to have listened to you guys in my life and I'm very excited to hear what you guys continue to put out and see how you continue to grow!
