OK, Razzorman gets the canopy. The main section of the canopy will be cut off from the forest floor. It will play somewhat like a maze. I may or may not use the bird objects, it'll depend on how lighthearted the music is. (I think the birds are a bit silly looking, and their sizes compared to Juni are comical.)
I want someone to step forward and compose the theme. This is how I want to approach it:
1.)A melody is created. It'll help if it can stand on it's own. Example (http://ccmixter.org/files/oldDog/17322).
2.)Then that melody is used to construct one or two other songs for the level. Example (http://ccmixter.org/files/echoed/23408). (I think this sample track is too forward. The percussion is too loud.)
3.)A crescendo version is created as a lead in to the final boss fight. Example (http://ccmixter.org/files/echoed/24301). No that isn't based on the original song. It shows the feel I want. This is one track that can come forward and fill the soundscape.
I want to use the theme or one of it's variation in the City.
The final boss is in an opera house in the city.
Whoever makes this doesn't need to worry about the variations on the theme. That will come later and not necessarily by you. (Examples 1 and 2 are by different artists.) But, step 1 needs completion so we can decide what areas to make variations for.
Thanks
Something like this would be perfect for the ice caverns, Example (http://ccmixter.org/files/oldDog/10226). It's a little too forward and possibly a little too fast, but it would work as is.
