I have now completed task one of beginning the main menu theme tune collaboration with a musician friend.
I sent him this brief via email:

Sound Brief:
You are tasked first with making a musical score for a survival video game which should be loop able. The game is about a young man who is dared to stay the night in a large derelict property; equipped with only a flashlight, sleeping bag and mobile phone. The character will explore the property and soon release that he is being haunted and then is transported through eras of the property bad past. He will then be possessed and try to kill his friends that come into the house in search of him.
You are secondly tasked with making the background score for the same game which should be atmospheric to enhance the journey through the house.
You should research games of this genre e.g. silent hill, project zero etc.

From this collaboration I was emailed a few variations of the theme tune for the main menu music. I picked aspects which I liked and aspects which I didn't until we arrived at this piece that I put to a picture of a temp menu picture.
