nexuiz music discussion

[Mizu Kitsune]

i'm just upset that the official music hasn't changed much since 1.0, i know this because i have archived 1.0 through 2.5.1 on my hard disk. most of the sounds are still the same as is the official maps and other official content.

Here are few songs related to Sleep.

Sleep - Rooney
sleep - dandy warhols

& here are songs related to death:

Sound of silence - simon & garfunkel.
Free Bird - Lynrd Skynrd.
don't fear the reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

Thank you.

If Nexuiz would have changed much there wouldn't be much Nexuiz in Nexuiz anymore. But i think it changed alot! The menu theme from 1.0 by Parapraxis is now replaced, Elysis lost major domination points, etc....

But what i would like to see more is more custom sound packs, and that's up to the community.

Ahem!

To quickly speak in the direction I was going in with the music I made: The theme of the music I made for Nexuiz was made from the suggestions of people within the community, I first submitted a more electronic track which was never used since the people who listened to it felt the game needed something more organic, and hence my orchestral tracks, I then continued to make some more organic sounding music since it seemed to be what everyone wanted.

Originally my idea was to keep very close to the style of music that elysis made, which I felt had quite an underworld vibe to it, but made the other music to suggestions of what people wanted.

That being said, I'm not unhappy with my contributions, I think a lot of people like them, and that's why they got made, and got implemented. I just wanted to express where I was going with the music to the people who find that it doesn't fit, since I completely understand why people would think that.

is the more electronic track available somewhere? and wheres the old discussion about the music (or wherever these suggestions are)?

I personally like the good mix of orchestra and electronic. As long as the music (regardless of style) doesn't suck then it should be able to be in the game. Some maps (like Soylent and Desert Factory) are better suited with the orchestra style while others are better suited to some frantic techno.

Talking about the first one here. The track is nice and I would like to use it as intro music. I love the background, the beat and music, and thoroughly enjoyed the song. I think the guitar could be reworked or something (sounds sporadic?), but other than that it's a nice piece.

You didn't comment on the track "Creation", which is another one not used in the game for some reason. It is top notch I think, I don't understand why it isn't hooked up to a map yet?

It got taken out for being a GPL violation (author refused to give out source when asked for it - the sorry excuse was that it was in some weird Amiga format. When asked for that file or disk image anyway (as the GPL does not care if the program to edit the file is freely available), he never replied back).

ninesix BTW is still there, including source files. So that one is unlikely to get removed (in case samples in it are stolen, it can get rerendered using the project file we have).
