[QUOTE="Chainsaw, post: 4579792, member: 70196"] [LEFT]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. [/LEFT] [LEFT]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:[/LEFT] [LEFT]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. [/LEFT] [LEFT]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.[/LEFT] [LEFT]3.
