New music

My fellow Evochron Renegade pilots,

I spent about 8 hours Saturday in the recording studio composing and recording some music for ER. I have a total of 8 songs now from previous sessions available but need some suggestions as to where to post the files for anyone interested in them. Wav files are approximately 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes long, at approximately 22 to 42 meg in size. These wav files are free and as time allows I'll create some more, I only ask that my name stays on the wav file authorship.
Song styles vary from ethereal non-conformist non-structural, to structured beat and/or riff driven.

I'd be happy to host them if you want to zip them and send them to me via e-mail (if they're about 10-15 MB zipped, individually would probably be best). The other option would be to use a file hosting service, others might have some recommendations there as I'm not too familiar with what's available.

Will do Vice, I'll work on zipping them tonight and hopefully start shipping them to you late tonight or tomorrow night as time allows ...

Sounds great Straker, I'll likely be listening to them more later on today.

You seem to use a lot of high-pitched riffs and synths, if I'm using the correct terms. I think you'd get a far darker atmosphere if you'd use lower-pitched sounds. They all have a nice sci-fi theme, but beside Music6, they're not really my style. Then again, I'm not really sci-fi besides these games.

Nice tracks bud, they remind me of the Vangelis stuff from the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Rami, next batch of songs I'll try to include lower rumbly atmo-types, hopefully finish those in about a week. Thanks Pariah, love Vangelis, all time favorite ... Chariots of Fire .... greatness indeed.
Enjoy the music

I have updated Straker's music files for ADPCM format, about a 75% reduction in file size. The download is now about 54 MB, same link as above.

Hi Vice, ok 4 nubies like me, do I make a file called MUSIC and put the unzipped files in it?

Post by **Vice** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:35 pm

Yup, it's pretty easy

The music folder just needs to be in the game's installation folder.

Good cause I tried with the bigger files and nothing happened but that was in 1.710 or 1.712 I forget. I will load the 1.718 tonight. Thanks again.

Can't wait to try it. I'm downloading them now.

-Edit: Great stuff, Straker. Hope to see more from you.
