Sorry for the delay! It took me some time to get everything together, but I'm done now! Skipping straight to the point, this time, we're making
desert themes! Ahh, deserts... A mainstay of video games, these can be a very, very wide range of things! Let's dive right into them, shall we? Don't forget your lotion and sunglasses, by the way~
First off, we have the slow variant, with tons of ethnic percussion, a flute-y instrument and my favorite, the sitar and the like! Like
Lanayru Desert, these can be very melodic, or very... ...what
does Shifting Sand Land even qualify as?
Next, we've got the relatively upbeat way of doing this -
New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Desert Theme and
Gritzy Desert immediately come to mind. While keeping a lot of the instrumental choices of the former, these tracks are fast in comparison, and that works well! Instead of getting straight into the heat, the speedy nature of these tracks almost makes them feel like an oasis. Oh, and we can't forget
Sandopolis, which makes up for the lack of realistic ethnic instruments for a pretty sweet beat and the main composition.
Well... that said, how's about we go out of the box?
Zone 1 and
Zone 4 of Desert Ruins are very good examples, the first being an upbeat saxophone and drum affair, whereas the latter is a groovily jazzy disco of a pyramid theme! There's not really a rule when you make this; just make it sound like it'd fit in a desert! Even chiptune could work, as
Desert Land easily proves~
I'm not too sure about deadlines, but just to be sure, I'll have a date set for November 16th. This date can be slightly stretched if necessary, but I'd like to think that would be the final date. And yes, remixes are accepted, of course! As long as the original track or song isn't from a desert, you're fine.
Well, what are you waiting for? Time's-a-ticking, better get to work!
