Update: Added songs Hope for rebirth, Anxious Thoughts, Winter and Procession. Procession is sad, marchlike song with quite heavy feeling to it. Describes the situation when a military company returns to home town after hard battles. Winter combines orchestral elements to folkish percussion...

Thanks! I put up another one of the older projects called Frozen Silence. It contains improvised solo piano tracks: Frozen Silence I also missed few of the old songs on my first update on Essence, so there are few more songs there. Edit: I also added the Frozen Silence link to the first...

Thanks for the potential kiss :) But nice to hear the material feels useful! There are still some of the older songs missing from the mikseri pages, I try to upload them now and more updates are coming due next few days, so feel free to check back!

Edited for updated links: Free background music for gaming sessions, the material can be found from french Jamendo.com: http://www.jamendo.com/artist/celestial.aeon.project http://www.jamendo.com/artist/project.divinity http://www.jamendo.com/artist/frozen.silence Hope you enjoy it!

(I moved this message to the first one)

Glad to hear you like the material :) I managed to fiddle around today and made a short song which has quite Joe Hisaishi -feel to it. It's called mystic river and you can find it on the Essence -project page. Here's straight link: http://www.mikseri.net/music/play.php?id=149379&type=dl -Michikawa

So glad to hear the music brought a new working element to your gaming session :) And thanks for sharing the experience.

I know Philip Glass but those other names won't ring a bell. It seems I have some listening work to do :) I really do like Philip's works. -Michikawa

Have to check out Zork Nemesis soundtrack some time. Actually I was quite surprised that you knew Shinjuku Thief - I have met only one guy who has heard of the project before (excluding our game group). It's a project which should have more listeners, but for some reason it seems to have stayed...

Thanks! Glad to hear the atmospheres offer inspiration and ideas. And just noticed that you happen to be from Finland also, nice to meet a fellow finn :) -Michikawa

So glad to hear you find the material enjoyable :) And yeah, I think that combat scenes are one of the places where music can play a really big part! Intense atmosphere can be created and enhanced with right songs even if the rhythm of the game wouldn't be that tight. -Michikawa

I recommend trying it - I have gotten so used to the background music in games that if I played a game without it, I presume it would feel a bit weird and probably a bit "hollow" also.

By the way, how much do you guys use music when you are the GMs? Do you rely on it much (almost constant background music), only in special situations (you have picked out the right songs for the right moments) or not at all (no background sounds or music)? Our group tends to use music quite...

Thanks! :) And good to hear that the music worked! I try to update the Divinity project in near future, but not sure yet with what kind of atmospheres exactly... -Michikawa

Here's a third project, which offers some atmospheric solo-piano tracks - could be of some use in games with certain feeling and style. Frozen Silence: http://www.mikseri.net/artists/frozensilence.44751.php

Thanks for the comments and glad to hear you like the material! :) And actually yes, they're completely free and I haven't published any album, just put most of the material there. I have this strong vision that art (especially music) should be completely free. For me the world would be much...

Greetings from Finland! I've fiddled around in my homestudio for a few years now and have produced most of the soundtracks I use in my games myself. I've published the songs freely on the net and thought that it would be nice to share the songs with you. If you find them enjoyable and usable...

Thanks for the feedback and I think you're right, it's a bit slow on this channel. I'm a bit worried about that intellectual property right -situation also, have to talk with the project leaders about the situation. I'd presume they would already had had somekind of contact from the EA side...

Greetings from Finland! I'm a member of a group producing a free Morrowind mod called Ultima IX Redemption, which is aspiring to become the unofficial ending for the classic computer roleplaying series Ultima. Project homepage: http://cfkasper.de/ultima/ My responsibility is the music and...
