This is the midi I originally wrote for my map. You can hear some early ideas that I explored with this one that would later be iterated upon in "The World That Died in Darkness". Things like the key (or at least I think so, it starts on the same note lol) and the instruments used. One major difference is the inclusion of a more layered drum beat, with bongos and the "mellow tom 1" patch that I tried to make sound somewhat "tribal".
This would probably still work with my map, but it wasn't quite nailing the feel I was going for so I set it aside. When the project was near the end, I posted this in our project chat and asked if anyone wanted to use it, and Death Bear enthusiastically said yes. I think his map and this midi represent a bit of a transition in the wad, into more open ended and exploration-focused maps.
