Classical Music

I go through phases with music. My core loves are symphonic powermetal, chiptune and punk, with some intermingling from other stuff like ska, nu-metal and some "emo".

Currently, I'm in a massive classical phase, inspired by...believe it or not, my love of Pride and Prejudice fanfiction. One in particular put in actual songs, like Boccherini's Fandango, Beethoven's Fur Elise, plus others. I'm a little bit obsessed with Boccherini's Fandango at the moment - mostly because it's a beautiful quintet that includes a guitar and castanets. As one may expect, castanets don't pop up much in classical music...

I hope, at some point, once I've got somewhere with learning music, I'll be able to translate pieces like the Fandango into chiptune-style and use them in my games, or have other devs use them. I'm not picky.

Classical music is beautiful. In a different form, I can't imagine it would fail to be still beautiful - just different. Some of it would be lovely music to go with a game. Again, using the Fandango as an example, I can imagine it being good as a fancy battle theme.

Of course, I could be very wrong, but who knows? Maybe others out there agree with my idea.
