Have you used background music in your sessions to enhance atmosphere? I use them all the time and have built a few different concept lists for various occasions:
Generic fantasy atmosphere
Epic battle playlist
Medieval town atmosphere
Outdoors wilderness
Dune thematic list for dark desert vibe...
How many of you use background music in your gaming sessions? I have found them to be an excellent way to create a strong atmosphere, much in the same way as underscore works in a film context. I have actually composed quite a lot of custom music and material for different campaigns and built...

This time something a bit different, I wanted to try and create these kinds of longer ambience tunes that span an hour with similar drifting background ambience feeling. Might work during some sessions...

Hi!
I'm a music producer / composer and one of my favourite genres is soundtrack music. I have composed instrumental tunes to work as custom soundtrack for various gaming sessions and publish all my material under Creative Commons licences, so they are free to download and share. If you are...
