Yes you can redo themes for items that already have them like the frozen flame from chrono chross. just keep it within "items" , Not really locations. Unless the location is an item like.. The main character was looking for the light stone of power as a gateway to another realm but a whole city ended up being the stone. No temples or places unless they are really referred to as items and not locations. Like a Tree of life could be a location but also an item. The main Character of Skyrim would be an example of what Not to write about. But you could write about the Soul of a dragon. The goal is to give something that has no distinct personality or feelings a song that gives it for them. grasp inspiration from the Myths and purpose behind each item. be creative. No1 says you have to stay 100% in each scale. Allot of Zelda Oot music had no key and just followed the chords!

OMG! I laughed for a solid two minutes after I read that. So we're trying to write about significant objects like the Master Sword or something else with a lot of power, right? Because I am really tempted to try writing a song for something like a pokeball or an ether.

Please read the rules and or other post made about Locations vs items as locations. A temple or hut/house/town/kingdom/location is different then say a Alexander from FF9 or a town built around a powerful main item/story/plot device.

ur forgetting the 13th zodiac! Edit: Sweet tune. Props! I'd personally would have made the theme more mysterious as the 13 zodiacs. Your theme would have made a cool battle track by the mood of desperation and how frantic it was, but I definitely enjoyed my listen through it. |

My theme is for the Chrono Trigger from, well, Chrono Trigger. It is also known as the Time Egg, "An egg-like object capable of conjuring miracles." https://soundcloud.com/hslesperance/time-egg Tried to get a 12000 BC sound. I was thinking of using soundfonts from the game, but don't feel like learning Schism Tracker.

Hyper Beam
Murzain
Location: New Jersey Joined: Aug 15 2010 |
I made a song based on the Hyper Beam from Super Metroid. This is the final upgrade that you get as you fight Mother Brain at the end of the game. Samus becomes super powered with emotion when the baby metroid pours all the energy it has into Samus to let her finish the fight. I did this in the style of Metroid Metal. (I hope you all know who they are, but if you need a reference link, here) I had a very small window of time to record this, so it's a little sloppy and there are evident mistakes, but I really just wanted to try and get a song in. Here we go

I started a melody, but due to other plans won't be finishing a track before tonight. (I started a day and a half ago, so it was certainly my own fault). Gio, this was a fantastic idea for a contest, kudos. Mine would've been the spaceship XR-RX from Chrono Trigger. Not an actual item in the game, but referenced by Tata. I wanted to capture the joy of a child's imagination shooting into outer space.

And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same. |

Write a Theme song / background Music for an item in a Game or Anime/Movie.
But Also try to fit the overall Soundtrack of the game.
Rules:
1. Needs to be at lease 1 Min long.
2. Fit the other music in the game.
3. Any Instruments/ Vocals Allowed.
* People/Animals/Places can be used but they have to be
used as a primary plot device like an Item.
Example: The main Character is looking for a powerful item
but it ends up being a Sealed away child. So you would write a theme
in context of the powerful item, and not the child's personality.
Or how FFVII put so much context on jenova as an Item and not a godlike being.
A Bad Example would be A Main character who is a "Chosen one " or in that context.
If possible Attach an Image of the Item or even Attach the song to the video of the item in game!
( Muted of course so we can hear your track ! ) But We won't judge you on that.
Have fun!

And the Results are in.

Runners up!
No Order
-------------------------------------
soundsandstuff - being the Triggerphile I am I had a hard time with this one.
It reminded me allot of the theme from the Locked Doors in CT. great job of fitting in the game.
Jacob31593 - I really really liked yours. Extremely Epic and Important Sounding.
( Couldn't get the midi to open record it for you,Poor PC couldn't handle all those tracks lol )
Murzain - Awesome, You captured the feeling of the Old 16bit Metroid games and somehow AC/DC all at the same time :P That Reference link was also bad ass. Loved the 1:40 part.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I hate picking a winner because they were all great and it's like comparing "apples and oranges". But the Time egg theme I felt was awesome. it captured the feeling of chrono trigger while going into a new direction. Felt very other worldly and fit the "Zeal" time period rather well!
