Today I received the following email regarding the type of music Amelia wanted:
here’s some inspirations for the intro sequence music
intro – Relent (harp & clarinet) http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100777,
Quinn’s Song: A New Man (something like this for the intro sequence) http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100578,
ending agrippa (amnesia) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpQTpWwsAU4,
this new century (machine for pigs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Ty-lUMy5k,
edwin and enoch (machine for pigs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36t61mWdZuM
After listening to the examples Amelia had sent me, I started to get a few ideas for the intro sequence and the ending sequence. Amelia had said that there were two possible endings, one where the player finds the key, and one where the player fails to find the key. I suggested to Amelia that for the winning ending, the music should be a uplifting, cheerful version of the intro theme, and the losing ending a downcast, sorrowful version of the intro theme.
