The music will be strictly synthesizers (no vocals or acoustic instruments, but there are good plugins that do piano, guitar, and drums). The style can be varied somewhat to suit your game, from ambient to jazz-oriented rock, but not hip-hop. For examples, visit midiguru.bandcamp.com. Jim Aikin must be credited for the music.
