Free background music for games (revives)

Thank you - I know the feeling when you find a musical piece which seems to fit perfectly into some situation in one's or one's character's life.

Oh, and I just had this thought: usually it's a bit more meaningful to compose music when you have some sort of plan or structure - what the music is all about? But currently I don't have many such ideas or needs myself, so I was just thinking that if any of you who have found this music to be of some use would like to get soundtrack pieces for certain situations / atmospheres etc. feel free to drop a message to this thread! I can't promise anything of course, but whenever I have time I'd be more than happy to try composing something for your needs.

So let the ideas flow free

Hi Michikawa, the only finnish music I had before was a cd called palaa leipää.

But you asked for what we wanted...what I really would like to have was something resembling the bards songs. (Inspire) courage, (inspire) greatness, (inspire) heroics for example. Or maybe something one could play when a character sacrifices himself for the others? Or for those situations when the party succeeds against all odds? Just tossing some ideas here...

P.S.

Nice ideas Dougal, I have to see how to achieve those goals! That "Palaa leipää" sounds interesting, is it the name of the band or the album itself? By the way, "Pala leipää" means "A bit of bread" and "Palaa leipää" means (look) "At a bit of bread".

It was Pala with one a, the band was called "Waltari" and have done a very funny cover version of the cure's "A Forest".

• A song for a trek through the fog.
• A song for a strong love between two heroes that thrives despite the fact that both keep resisting it (for Evendur and Shirl from my very dusty Story Hour, actually).
• Cool bardic music for specific instruments (possibly including marching drums, again, for Shirl in my Story Hour as she loves to play the drums as they travel).
• Imagine a paladin within a temple of his deity, praying fervently for understanding after falling from grace.

So let the ideas flow free

• A piece designed to take you through a trek in the woods in the eraly morning then coming across a clearing where a bubbling river flows
• A piece for high snow topped mountains
• A piece that takes you through a graveyard at midnight with all sorts of eerie noises that have you questioning what terrors lurk
• An island paradise at high noon
• Two ships waging war on each other in the middle of open seas

Hmm, more ideas:

• An evening storm that has lasted six days and shows no signs of letting up
• Horses frolicking in a field on a bright sunny day
• A creepy piece that takes you through an old musty house with the sound of rain hitting on the windowpanes
• A piece that makes you envision the flight path of a dragon in your minds eye
• A wind blowing through a dry and dusty desert in the evening

 

[Michikawa]

Waltari is one of the only bands in Finland who have had somekind of presence internationally also - should have guessed that

And thanks for the ideas, all of them seem really interesting and offer good base from which to try and work forward musically. I'll see what I can do...

Phew I have had so hard time with my studies that I haven't had almost any time to fiddle around in the studio But we have autumn break next week so I try to manage to create something new.

But I managed to do a small update - we released three songs from the upcoming Ultima IX Redemption soundtrack:

Caverns
Awakening
Rainy Day

Hopefully they'll be of some value.
