Make a song that would fit a old-style western movie-inspired Shadow of the Collosus.

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. For examake ple, 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. It was unused but I think this works. Why do hori shooters have to have such FUCKING STELLAR osts |

Write electronic pieces using classical structures like rondo or fugue.

What usually inspires me in my music is playing a lot of video games and usually one just slips into your subconscious and you sort of make a soundtrack for it, if you will. Same could go for movies, I suppose. Otherwise just messing with synth patches gives me ideas.

make a song that would you would want to hear if you were floating through space.
It already exists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Q3X5Gw5I4I suggest you to make some chiptune music, there isnät enough of them in indie games  But other than that take a theme and build a song around it. I suggest meaning of life, existential suffering or searching of one's identity |

True. You know what's a good spaghetti western? The Great Silence. Y'all should watch it. |

Make a song with some kind of mathematical basis, like the fibonacci sequence or a particular equation. Like a song based on y = tan(x), which ear-rapes you on a regular basis.  |

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.
Man, I really dig that idea. :D I should try that sometime. |

Whatever you do, make sure the song has a good name. I hate songs named "Forest 1" or somesuch. I'd much rather have song names like "Into the Sunset Once More" or "So Dark You Can't See the Trees". In fact, I sometimes just come up with names and make songs about them. Doesn't work out sometimes, though.

True. You know what's a good spaghetti western? The Great Silence. Y'all should watch it. New game idea: Spaghetti Western. A western game, but everything is noodles. Like in Kirby: Epic Yarn, everything is yarn. Macaroni = Pistol. Do it. Whatever you do, make sure the song has a good name. I hate songs named "Forest 1" or somesuch.
Them fighting words (boy?). |
