Appropriate background music for T2k

[Lerk]

Hello!
I decided to share the music i originally made for use for my sessions of the polish campaign. It's three songs, close to 45 minutes total. They escalate, fade down and they're very good to loop and shuffle.

I found a legal torrent site to put my work at and i will be seeding it there for some time, if you have use for the music in your campaign, please consider seeding it.

Lerk,

I don't run a face-to-face game but will be happy to download it when circumstances permit. (I am currently having computer troubles but they should be solved, soon. Hopefully.) Anyways, happy to seed and share, anything I can do to help.

When creating a campaign for different games, songs (commercial ones) sometimes suggest themselves. The following one came to mind for my current T2K game "Angels of the Apocalypse":

Edit added: I managed to download the songs relatively quickly, so that worked out well. Among other things, is that a sample of numbers stations in the T2K march (I used a sound clip of one before in my T2K games. Very Cold War-eque.)

Yes i used numbers stations, i find that they have very eerie sound. In the songs i also use propaganda radio from Hanoi during the Vietnam war, some speeches by Erich Honnecker, some news from North Korea and whatever i find that fits at the moment

I have 3-4 songs that are currently work-in-progress.

Currently i use those songs plus the soundtrack from the stalker game, but i plan to phase that out once i compose enough of my own tracks. The goal being to be able to have unique music for the whole session. I find it somewhat irritating when people recognize tunes and starts discussing those instead of playing, so make songs that are entirely new.

I found a legal torrent site to put my work at...

Legal site... hmm.

Do I dare step out from the shadows and into the strange and legitimate world of a legal torrent

Thanks, I'll check them out.

While i'm at it composing music, any special preferences as to what sort of music you find fits T2k I can do a variety of music styles.

[bigehauser]

European techno, hardstyle, trance, house, and all the other genres that fit in there for a weird Eastern Euro feel to games based in that region.

[Lerk]

A new song will be done soon. Sounds a tad Rammstein meets Red alert hell march.

Call me old school, but for my FTFT2K games I've always found that some of the various Hollywood soundtracks can't be beat...theme from Preadator and Rambo to name a couple. First time the players came across the wreckage of a Soviet column that had been bombed to pieces in the first days of the war...had Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" keyed up.

If you can find a copy of Dunnigans "Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War", he has a play list of songs that were beloved by the GIs...dated I know, but still managed to get some of my players when they finally saw the fleet at Bremerhaven, waiting to take them home...."Freebird"

And of course, when we did Armies of the Night....theme from "Escape from New York"..

what ever works..

Lee,

I do like the examples you gave of your own game.

A great soundtrack is the soundtrack for the movie "Sorceror" by Tangerine Dream, a great synthesizer-driven sound! Despite the name and the trippy title, it's really about a bunch of guys driving a truck full of nitro to put out a oil-well fire at a wellhead over rough South American roads.

Another good soundtrack!

A lot of the John Williams soundtracks are excellent choices. I've also used some nice smokey jazz for the scene set in Na Zdrowie, right before Tanya is introduced.

And of couse, some nice heavy metal for the combat scenes...I've used the soundtrack from Heavy Metal the movie for those and gotten some good response.

Any song from Insane Clown Posse for any mood or any situation.

I really hope that you are joking.

If he's not joking, I'm going to have to banish him from the forum.

Raellus, you can't even hold music.
