... another question.
What about to insert a noise background? Something like:
- blowing wind
- steps on a crackling wood floor or some shutting doors (or something else that can be confused with an in-game sound effect)
- thunders in the distance (maybe not...)
- the sounds of a light saber fight (just kidding...
)
We could use the soundtrack even for the background effect.
The soundtrack could be:
-20/30 second background
-song with background
-some second of background
Repeating a track like this could be less boring than a repeating song.
The only problem is I don't know what is the best background for the age...
How about that?

what may be interesting, if you notice the colors change every once in a while if you can set it up so that the when the colors change you hear a clap of thunder and the music changes, or perhaps one song will fade out as the another song fades in.

DOH! I'm already doing a single track music
Wait a second... "spoil" the age:
- Show Spoiler
How many time the colors change? I thought only one, when you pass through the door with the tre colors on the top.
I think I have to play more with the age :)
If the colors change after a certain time I can do some track shorter than that time and when the color change it starts a new track.
Every track (except the first) could have a thunder at the beginning so there will be no fade in or out.
I can even do a soundtrack (for example with the wind) like I write above and a separate effect that starts when the colors change so this sound will mix on the soundtrack itself, so we have the wind, a smooth soundtrack and the thunder.
If the colors change casually and you prefer more songs I think the only solution is to do some tracks with the fade in/out
The choice is yours

No actually its not, your working on the age now, you do what feels appropriate. Everything else is just a suggestion.

There are two doors, one to enable the colours, one to disable them

This is the song:

Given that the colors change in the way Diafero said, I think the best thing to do is a background inside the song like that:

... and when the colors are changing:

This is very beautiful and fits wonderfully with the Relativity age ...
I've just been there, and as there is also some kind of lawn, very close-cropped lawn,
but there is some kind of greenery lol, I think this very distant twittering of a few birds
and esp. the winds, blowing softly around the corners, are very nice and fit perfectly,
even when one cannot make out where those bird songs might be coming from atm ...
and as far as I remember there was the intention to add more 'stuff' like some outdoor
furniture and maybe a few trees and flowers and such to the age ...
Yeah, great job again, Fabioguar ...

Very beautiful indeed
Great work.
I don't understand the color thing though...
Should both musics play at the same time when the colors are enabled, or should it toggle between <main music|background music> ? Which music should be playing "by default" when you link to the Age ?
Also, I was thinking about part 2 of the first music... Maybe it could be played for 2-3 seconds when you use a transporter ? To increase the feeling of dimension switching ?
