I feel like iMUSE [0] by the fantastic Michael Land needs to be mentioned here. Here it is in action: [1] [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]
How do they do it, like the imuse system of in mokey island 2, where different music layers get added and removed as you move aeound? (See [VIDEO] )
Also done very well in Monkey Island 2 with iMuse as well, in which a lot of care was taken in transitioning music with custom bridges. It was quite subtle and lovely, and is considered a high point in video game music. 1. A video demo: [VIDEO] 2. Some details: [LINK]
