Dungeon music is the connective tissue of a session — it has to run for a long time without wearing out its welcome. That means tension without melody: drones, low pulses, room tone, the occasional distant sound. A strong tune would get repetitive on the third corridor; an atmosphere never does.
Think of it as sound design more than score. Keep it quiet and constant so the dungeon feels oppressive and patient, and hold your sharper, more dissonant tracks in reserve for the moments that deserve a sting — the trap that springs, the door that shouldn’t have been open, the thing in the dark that moves. Let the ambience do the waiting, and let the reveal do the scaring.
