Ditto that. ^^ Not many people would want to sit down and listen to pure classical music these days, and maybe if incorporating it into a game, it'll expose today's generation to more genres. I mean, it's always good to know about history, and if it sounds good, then, why not?

There are afterall only 8 notes in an octave. So yea, erm... if you do some Maths, there're only a limited number of variations (excluding the different octaves and stuff) one can come up with. And with the number of people coming up with music these days, it's pretty impossible not to have "created" something someone before you had already done. ^^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yea, that too Dhsu. I mean, with music and writing and art... or just plain creativity, it's pretty difficult to break away from your conscience and really create something. Meh... I don't even know whether I'm making sense or sticking to the topic. ^^

There's nowhere I can't reach.
