Mana Cave - Original SNES music

Written to evoke an open cavernous pale-green cave glowing with mysterious energy and rays of sunlight. This is probably before mining operations stick their noses in the Earth's business.


Inspired by Japanese RPGs and composers, mainly FF7 as far as storyboard influence goes. I have an idea for a SNES-style RPG in which you travel the world meeting townspeople, exploring deep caves, fighting monsters and harvesting magic energy from the Earth. The music I've written so far inspired by this concept has revolved around two chords: Bb add M6 and Dm add M6, voiced Bb F G D and D A B Fb, respectively. This plays while you are exploring a cave, possibly the one located right outside your hometown, and revolves heavily around Dm add M6, symbolizing your immersion in the surroundings. Overall wide, static and mysterious, but accented with very "Earthy" instruments and melodies.
