   [FILLED] Need Music - 2d RPG set in 1500s (MIDI or mp3)
  The below request has been filled.  Thank you to those who got in touch with me.Summary:I need 6 songs for a 2d multiplayer RPG I'm working on.  These songs should be between 1.5 to 3 minutes long, and loop fairly seamlessly.  MIDI is perfectly acceptable, though not required.  My game is somewhat retro, and I think that the MIDI format feels more thematically appropriate.Game Info:The game is set in the 15th century, and is centered around sailing/trading.  You can see a summary and screenshots here:Merchant SeasI can provide a fully functional client to the composer if it would be helpful in creating appropriate music.  I am currently using placeholder artwork for my towns (you may recognize the RPG Maker XP tilesets), but hopefully the below links give you an idea of the overall feel of the game.Music needed:1) At sea (daytime) [img]2) At sea (night) 3) Snow town [img]4) Desert town [img]5) City type 1 [img]6) City type 2 [img] style:I would like all 6 pieces to be bright, happy, and upbeat.  They should be fairly non-intrusive, so that they can continuously loop without being distracting or noticeably repetitive.  Considering the time period of the game, the music should have something of a medieval or "piratey" feel to it.  The night and snow music should be a little more toned down than the other tracks, and the desert town could have an eastern flavor to it.Examples:The following MIDI's are distributed with RPG Toolkit (http://www.toolkitzone.com/) and are a good approximation of the style I am looking for.  Note that you'll probably want to save and play, rather than play in the browser as some effects sound much better that way.Town Example 1 [midi]Town Example 2 [midi]An "at sea" type track [midi]Compensation:I'm offering $150 for all 6 songs, via PayPal.  I can pre-pay for each individual song, though I'll need to give some feedback in the early stages.  I know this is a very small amount for music composition, but unfortunately I'm a lone grad student with a part time job.  I don't need exclusive rights to the songs, so you can sell them to other people as well, give them away, or use them in your portfolio.Contact:If interested, please private message me on these forums or send me an email at mike@merchantseas.com.  Please link me to relevant portfolio work, and if you don't have any, please put together a small example clip similar to the MIDI's linked above.  I can't make an agreement otherwise.  If you are well qualified, but the pay is not enough, I am open to decreasing the number of songs or making some other arrangement, but only if you have sufficient portfolio work to justify this.Thanks for reading.  Hope to hear from some of you.[Edited by - Zelek on May 22, 2009 6:40:41 PM]
