Kyshakk Koan RaustBlackDragon Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm thinking of starting a little side-project called "Soundtracking Spiderweb", where I create music for the normally musicless spiderweb software games. I'm an amateur composer, and here is a collection of most of my work: http://raustblackdragon.newgrounds.com/audio/ So I'm just curious if anybody has a preference for which game I should start with for this project?

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The first Geneforge game lends itself to a spacey, eerie, and haunting music to fit with the mood and atmosphere of exploring a dangerous island. The second Exile/Avernum game lends itself towards some of that same musical genre in the passage to Vahnatai lands, but also to epic battle music fighting the war. Nethergate, of course, lends itself to very good Celtic and Roman inspired music. These would be my suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Avernum 3 should be somewhat like an adventurous music type in the beginning, and in the near end, it should be some kind of what-will-I-be-expecting? music. -Test Subject 8552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The Avernum series is a remake of the Exile series, so if you have Avernum 3 it's the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan RaustBlackDragon Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm surprised there haven't been any requests for Avadon. Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Juan Carlo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 When I was playing the Geneforges I was listening to a lot of pandora.com (which is a website that generates radio stations of similar songs based on entering a song or a band). I mostly used a hybrid station of and The combination of the darker, ambient, drone techno with the more down beat, sparse, piano ballads worked really well together and fit the games really well too, I thought. Although, I kind of think Geneforge should be sort of Phillip Glass-y, only with more of a digital/techno bent. So Brian Eno, I guess? Avadon was supposedly inspired by Blackbeard's Castle, wasn't it? So Bartok would be the best template, probably, or some other early 20th century composer.

Why would you say such awful things? Avernum will never compare to the original Exiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Why would you say such awful things? Avernum will never compare to the original Exiles. The games aren't the same, but I think all that was meant was that the story is similar enough that you could plausibly use the same soundtrack for both.
