In an interview with Gamasutra Toby Fox talked about how he makes music for his games:
“I just kind of make music however I feel like it at the time. I don’t really have any set process or anything. I just kind of sit down at the piano or the computer or sometimes I’ll just sing into my phone and I’ll just start making something. And if I get something I like then I’ll work on it more and if I don’t then I’ll just move on to the next thing.
I don’t really have any specific inspirations for my music either. I just kind of try to make something that I think is cool or that I think would fit the game well. Sometimes I’ll get an idea for a melody or a chord progression and then I’ll just start building from there.
I think the most important thing for me is just to keep experimenting and trying new things. I never want to get too comfortable with any one style or sound because I feel like that’s when you start getting stale. So I’m always trying to push myself to try new things and explore new musical territory.”
