Howdy ya'll!

Ok so being the music/sound guy now *gulp!* I wanted to talk with you
guys about what exactly we want the music to sound like. Should it all
be old-school C64 stuff? Grungy outlaw-style rock? Maybe just more
modern electronica with a litte bit of a catchy composition style to
it (Somewhere in between uber-catchy oldschool synth stuff like on the
NES and modern electronic -- basically very energetic, catchy
electropop, a little bit like Owl City I suppose,
http://www.last.fm/music/Owl+City/_/Cave+In)? Longest parens ever...

Anywho, get back to me about what the feel of the music should be (All
depends on what you're going for with the game), and what scenarios I
ought to start making stuff for. Also, as I said in my forum post,
anyone here have a knack at composing catchy melodies? It's not my
forte really, not TERRIBLE but not fantastic either; if anybody here
is good at making up melodies (a brief little main line will do, I can
go from there :) ) feel free to whip one up with Rosegarden and send
me the MIDI file. All help and feedback is appreciated :D

Look forward to working with you all :)
