I once suggested this a long time ago to a friend, but they never did it...

Make a song for one environment, using instruments from its opposite.

For example, you know how winter / ice songs in games always have bells and chimes and stuff? You could make a LAVA LEVEL song, using those instruments. Likewise, desert to ocean - forest to machine - etc.

I'll post better ideas later.

make a song about the absurdity of man's existential longing for communication, self-expression, and companionship contrasted with the absolutely singular, incommunicable nature of one's internal monologue

Sounds like something you should submit to Songs to Wear Pants to.

Make a song that makes use of silence as much as sound.

1) Create bass line

2) Add filler

Oh you mean dubstep!

Edit: I will make a forest song with electronic instruments if someone can draw me a picture of that forest.

Do 2A03 square waves at 50% duty cycle and also make it have SOUUUULLLLL like Cave Story does, to have soul you use arpeggios in the background and put the melody on the triangle channel.

It was unused but I think this works.

1.ride on c# down low 93bpm quarter note ride. slow groove style. 2. put some synth effects and a big beat over that - no melody. 3. drop the beat after 8 bars and go for a hook sound fx. 4. bring back the beat and let it all ride till the loop is done. 5. deposit 40g into my paypal acct for virtual song invoice(j/k on #5!)
