Project 2 - Getting started and music inspiration

Well it's now the start of the second project for "Creative Coding" and I've started off by searching through my Techno music for inspiration. I actually find techno music rather relaxing as it seems to create an image in my head (regardless of lyrics) so to start off, I chose a few songs to share as my first step of finding inspiration towards my storyboard and my final sound to the interaction coded design..

my first music inspiration is the theme music for two characters from a chibi anime series (which I better not name)
I really like the beat this song offers as it's very easy to move to. every time I listen to this song I get the image of almost rolling and jumping (have to forget what the song is from to get a non predigest image though) the layering off all these different beats is also a huge inspiration to how I could do the sound  for my final with the visual interaction.

My next music inspiration is the theme music of Seymour (one of the "bad guys") from Final Fantasy X
The way the tempo is raised with layering of different sounds is very cool and really inspires me with the idea of creating shapes, each with their own sound layering on top of each other as they are added, creating a techno melody.
I also used this tune as part of the same inspiration (as it's also scales and layers of sounds)
This tune is at the start menu of almost every single Final Fantasy game ever but I find the older versions more inspiring as I want to go for a techno sound to keep the overall design linked to its computer creation.
