The only thing I might have to say is that all music seems a bit... tragic. There isn't really a "happier" track, like Subject Name Here.

Haha, yeah. Well...you're trapped in a box with some insane computer trying to kill you.

I could make a happy track, but I'm just not seeing where it could really go or in what situations while staying within Portal's story and theme. If you're intentionally breaking from the Portal story and have some ideas, just message me and we might be able to work something out, music wise. No promises though.

Next to that, this is really music you can only use as ambience

Yup. The only action music in Portal was during the boss battle, other than that everything was ambient, so I just went with that.

may only be an idea to create one in the occasion a Portal-mapper wants to create an action scene.

Yeah. I could do some action music in a Portal theme. (I attempted it very mildly with "Live Fire") But I think good action music requires more finesse and involvement with the project so that it doesn't sound thrown-in.

Anyway, I've already found some tracks I might be interested in using. Do you mind if I use your music for SkyLabs (see link in signature)?

Is SkyLabs a Portal / HL2 / Source Mod?

If Yes, then yes you can. See my initial post for the credits to use.
2.
If no, then please email me: hamster [AT] my username [DOT] com. I'll most likely say yes, but I'd like to keep record of the request.

SkyLabs is indeed a HL2/Portal-mod. You can follow the links in my signature to get to the website, or the page on the VDC.
