>>6081982>>6082000There was a piece of music I considered using for my game setting UPYR, but in the end I left it out lol too avant garde. Here is the Dolcissimo by Peteris Vasks, I believe he is from Latvia, I think it would work very well in a modern mystery or horror game, Cthulhu or folklore or even traditional fantasy, it cuts across genres:

It is hard to describe what makes dungeonsynth distinct from the standard fantasy rpg music (dungeonsynth is more 80s? or electronica type inspired? but some videogame soundtracks also adopt that soundscape?) I think if you were doing a DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS DIRECTED BY KUBRICK ie look I use Rossini La Gazza Ladra in a RAPE SCENE it might be amusing lol to match some standard rpg scenarios with famous classical music accompaniment. I think another option might be to use contemporaneous period pieces so actual medieval or Elizabethan type music, I always think of the dance scene from the Shekhar Kapur Elizabeth (1998) in any court intrigue scenario, or Warhammer etc
Tielman Susato, Rondes I, Dansereye from film Elizabeth (1998)
