So, I was thinking that I might like to have some background sounds and music playing during my game to help create the mood. I know that I'm not the first person to want this, so I did an ENworld search for threads with "music" in the title. Didn't really find what I was hoping for though (maybe I should have used 'sounds'?). Many of the posts seem to discuss inspiring battle music (metal, orchestral, techo), which is totally cool (I'm a big Danzig fan for anyone from THAT thread), but I'm wondering if anyone has ideas on tracks that are or could be reasonably construed as location specific.
Ideally, each would be long (sixty minutes even?), so as not to require constant restarting, feature subtle, non-intrusive, non-vocal music that is periodically (every minute? two minutes? five minutes?) overshadowed by a location specific noise. Here are some examples:
1. Dungeon - water dripping, doors creaking, footsteps, whispers, weird laughter, grunts, metal clinking, crying and so on. Presumably the background music would be somber, spooky, etc.
2. Wilderness - wind rustling through trees, bird sounds, crickets and other "forest" sounds. A daytime and a nightime version would be awesome. Night music might be a little spookier and have wolves howling, etc. Seasonal variants would be awesome as well - the winter version might be marked by prominent howling winds, for example.
3. City- perhaps the murmur of a crowd in the background, occasionally someone yelling about "Buy this fruit," or an "Excuse me," or "You there," or whatever. A tavern variant would be cool tool, I suppose.
Anyway, maybe something like this has already been created by Paizo/WotC. If so, any links would be awesome. If not, then perhaps some enterprising reader might be inspired -
Edit: Thinking that videogame tracks MAY be my best bet?
