I had to think for a moment when titling this because there's already a thread called "Music Suggestions."
This thread is for, of course, suggesting themes that our composers could create and eventually put into the game. (I mainly created this thread because I wanted to get back into making music and needed inspiration, but the others could use the posts here as inspiration as well, if they want.)
Before suggesting, please skim this playlist to make sure that what you're suggesting hasn't already been made. (Ctrl+F helps)
When you are suggesting a theme, please state in which situations it would play, and in which stage(s) of the game. Include a basic description of the track, with at least the overall feel and tone described. Feel free to also include the instruments, structure, etc. if you can think of those things.
Also, the game's themes evolve across stages, generally following these guidelines:
Please don't suggest themes if they are jokes that you know won't be considered. Please use common sense, I'd rather not see this spammed with unviable joke-posts.

Also, the game's themes evolve across stages, generally following these guidelines:
* In the Microbe stage, themes are typically pretty slow and use synths (Example) The editor tracks are an exception, as they are a bit more upbeat and advanced.
* The Multicellular themes use similar synths, however they have a bit more structure than the microbe themes.
* The themes of the Aware stage now have proper structure, but for the most part avoid man-made instruments and percussion.
* The Awakening Stage sees the formation of tribes, and thus more man-made instruments are used. (Oliver's Awakening theme uses synths, but light amounts of human instruments (soft percussion and flutes) show that this theme would likely play during the transition between Aware and Awakening.
* The themes of the Society stage add more advanced instruments, like violins and pianos and stuff.
* Industrial's themes seem to become more... organized(?) later on. As technology becomes more advanced, synthesized instruments are reintroduced, although they're less ambient and more of an actual instrument.
* The Space Stage sees almost all instruments replaced with synthesized ones.
* And finally, Ascension is... I dunno, there aren't any themes composed for it, but it's probably something along the lines of this.
* The Multicellular themes use similar synths, however they have a bit more structure than the microbe themes.
