dont wanna take anyones time up readin, i just wanna throw my self out here, i write electronic music, i love nexuiz, i dont use garageband loops. i use ableton and renoise. I think you guys are pretty good with music around here but if anyone at all needs some tunes, for maps, their projects ect, check out my stuff and let me know
i cant map , code, model so i might as well write music, right? ;P anything to help

thanks guys

That would be a big help. Someone making a map would most likely want it under an open license such as the GPL (although the GPL is really for source code...)

Can you post some samples of your stuff? Ones that don't require a myspace account to listen to?

All I have to say is... ALL HAIL THE BIG LEBOWSKI!

muhahahaha. all hail the dude

and ill post some tunes up for sure, i didnt think that you needed a myspace to listen

cyber, explain to me about GPL because im i little coding retarded, we talking about file format or what,

update : heres some music for download. ones a mp3, ones a wav (30 megs)

hopefully this wont need a login

this music is for my own project, what I preform under, so it is what it is, being a little experimental and noisy. For nexuiz and gaming purposes i would be able to write more calm groovy tracks, or what ever the author needs

You share the source as long as they share the source and it must be 100% GPL! If you share a binary (i.e the .ogg file) you must also provide the original source that created that binary (i.e. the .it, .s3m, .xm, .mod file)

I personally recommend Tracker formats for music as they can be rendered to .ogg and its source is simply a bunch of patterns and notes with samples.

I found the syncopation perhaps was a little awkward on The Sauce.

I agree, use ogg.

sure. ogg will be used, but understand. those tunes i posted up were for your listening, thats my music for my project. my nexuiz tunes or whaatever will be 100% open source ogg, no problem

and i understand what you mean with the snycopation, the song is in 7/4 which is one aspect, plus id go back and fix it but that file got currputed, thanks for the thoughts guys


plus, ive been using ableton live, if u need me to use trackers thats not a problem either, just walk me through the open source shit and we'll make some tunes

Good to know there will be no problems being open source.

I like the experimentalism in that track. It's not really what I'd think of for a game like Nex, but I can tell you're comfortable with mixing and could probably deliver on different styles I'd enjoy hearing something of yours that would be a bit more fast-paced and energetic

Wow. Are SURE about that? This doesn't make sens. If this is true then where are all the original graphics files (I'm guessing Photoshop .psd files) of all the graphics that are in Nexuiz? All I can find are a bunch of targa and jpeg files. Isn't that the same thing? Music is a bunch of layers of sounds put together and flattened to a single file just like graphics created in Photoshop. Or why not even go as far as say that everything in the game should've been created using open-source apps under GPL and include the source code/material of everything to infinity (include the source that created the binary that created the binary that created the binary etc.)? If I record tracks with my guitar do I need to give my guitar away because it is the source of the sound that I recorded?

Maybe I'm wrong, but music and graphics (ie: artwork) should have nothing to do with GPL, other than the fact that they have to be public domain or used with permission or whatever you want to call it, to be included in the distributed package and source.

I really hope that I'm right.


BTW eightysix, your myspace is set to private which means nobody can access it unless you/they added you/them as a friend.

No, the content IS under the GPL, but it does not require "sources" of manual steps (as that is simply impossible). So if a file was saved as JPG after the last manual step, the JPG file simply IS the source.

OTOH, a BSP file needs an accompanying MAP file, as the BSP was generated from the MAP without any manual steps.

In other words: for textures/music, this often means that the resulting file (wav, ogg, etc.) _IS_ the source. But it would still be under the GPL, that is especially: if anyone takes it into his own project, he may do so if and only if his own project is GPL too.

Some fast-paced energetic songs just for nex are in the works, Right Now.
thanks for all the feedback and info guys.

songs will be .ogg . Ill upload the tracker file too.
