Fledgling Fyora houly Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Anyone else play music in the background while playing Avadon 2? I have an iPad and I just recently downloaded Jeremy Soule's Skyrim soundtrack. I have this in the background while playing. Gives an awesome experience since you can hear the music as well as the swords clashing and the uggg! while your enemies fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd nazaali Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I play most of my games with background music (usually turning off music in-game, as it is very rarely anything I want to listen to for hours and hours). It's amazing, really, how sometimes a new song starts just as you're opening a door to a dungeon. I have a long playlist on shuffle. It's a mix of abstract/minimalist electronic and experimental music: Tod Dockstader, Eliane Radigue, La Monte Young, Infinite Frequencies, Brood Ma, Phill Niblock, Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros. I add in some recent rap/pop music, such as Lil Wayne, Tinashe, Bladee, Milo Mills. Instrumental dance music mixtapes are great too (deep/tech house). And then some classical music too, like Brahms' sonatas & concertos, maybe some piano music from Satie or Chopin, you know, basic classical stuff. Pretty much everything works great, but I tend not to have music with lyrics, save for the one or two current fave track. Best experiences have been playing Shadowrun: Dragonfall with that stuff on (the combination of dance music & abstract-y drones works wonders), and then listening to a lot of Black Metal and Noise while playing Half-Life 2. I actually really like Avadon's in-game sound effects and ambiences. joestaple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Meri20098 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've noticed that. When a classical song comes up on my iTunes when I'm killing an enemy it's like how the hell can the people on criminal minds or something be happy while killing someone?

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 When i was playing Avadon for the first time I listened to the Monkey Business album from the Black Eyed Peas on loop. I have an especially strong association memory between the Kva and "Pump It." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Rugila Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I usually do listen to music while playing games. But, for some reason, I don't when playing spiderweb games. I just wanna concentrate on reading and immersion. joestaple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I haven't done this so much recently, but (the dry wastes of) Geneforge 2 will forever remind me of Radiohead's Hail to the Thief, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
