free rpg music online?

Gundark · Sep 12, 2006

There was a member a while back who composed a bunch of free music for rpgs and gave a link to his (or her I wasn't paying attention to gender

) site. I had the site bookmarked but due to a hard drive format I lost the info. Anyone have a link?

Speaking of music, does anyone have a good seed to put into www.pandora.com? I've only managed to come up with Loreena McKennit and Enya myself. Any suggestions?

Try Kate Rusby, Moya (Maire) Brennan (as a solo and with Clannad), and any of the artists with Celtic Woman.

Also, perhaps, Secret Garden, Lunasa, Alison Krause and Union Station, and Natalie MacMaster.

Some excellent fantasy heroic music can be found in current computer games. Here are a few sources for free, download-able music, from such games...

Knights of Honor

Heroes of Might & Magic 4

Spellforce

Stronghold

Note: These are from the developers/publishers of the games themselves, thus are truly and legally free.

Age of Conan also has a number of samples of the music in the game. Very, very cool.

Michikawa, by any chance?

As in, is that who you (Gundark) meant?

Magnatune's selection of world music is pretty good for period pieces or establishing mood. You can get it for free, though they naturally make it far easier to obtain via purchase.

If you have a copy of Neverwinter Nights lying around, you can play the background music and ambient sounds in a standard music player; the names are even helpful!
