Hey there creators and players!
Since first playing Tremulous, I have become a fan of the project. I'm an electronic musician and created some music influenced by the game. If you want to check it out:
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_122_07.ogg
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_122_07.mp3
Or go here (http://www.skore.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8) to stream the song.
If you like it, I could elaborate on this theme and create a couple of songs that can be used for the game and its (custom) maps.
All the music I make is released under a creative commons license, so feel free to share!
Hope you like it :)

I liked it
too bad :( current client do not support .ogg files
but you can build one from svn to support .ogg
-
well, its as mp3 as well, and I can encode to any format the game likes :)
and thanks :)
-
I like it too it gave me an idea of a trailer for the game:Marines chatting in a bunker then swarm of lower class aliens then gunfight,camera goes in to show the landscape of the wartorn battlefield ending with a a marine with just a blaster blasting aliens and then a tyrant see,s him and the tyrant is rushing to him and the camera zooms in on the marine while he blasts teh tyrant to no avail then blackout,Tremulous:Join the fight,the words appears tariler finishes.
-
Well, not exactly what I had in mind but great to see that it works "visually" on other ppl as well - and thanks! :)
-
No problem.
-
I like the soundtrack, it is long enough, not disturbing, plain and nice :o) Good work!
-
Heh, I was thinking that the horn arpeggios might have been a bit too much, would have never guess that somebody would call this plain and nice :) thanks!
-
sk0re's mechanics? Lost my copy :(
-
harr, "electronics"! check my website (http://www.skore.de) for it - I recently did a rerelase ;)

I must say i didn t like it much...its a nice song, but it doesnt suit Trem.
i thought it was a bit too flat and joyful for a fast-paced FPS in a dark atmosphere.
For me a music for Tremulous should be either :
- a worrying music (think "horror movies") in order to create a dark atmosphere (think "Marine alone in a wide dark room where dretches can hide everywhere")
- or a fast-paced music you would enjoy to hear in a middle of a fight to get you pumped up (think "Hard/Metal Rock" or fast-paced Techno)
But thats just my 2 cents.
Anyway i hope no mapper will ever put a music file in his map because one important thing while playing Trem is to listen to the ambient sounds. You can detect when an ennemy is in your back, when the guy in front of you is badly wounded, etc...
Usually when i m playing a game, i listen to my own music...However, when i m playing Trem, i always shut it down, and only listen to the sounds of the game. So i wouldn t want to be oblige to listen to a music when i dont want to.
-
Well, I was thinking this up purely for the startup screen and thought that I could do a couple of ambient remixes of the theme for usage in maps. I guess the general question whether to have music in a map or not is just as old as FPS themselves and agree that you should be able to switch them off. I do think that it can add to the athmosphere for some players - but of course you can never please a player who always listens to his own music ;)
As for the general comment - I am surprised that its regarded as joyful ;) I know that I tend to create harmonic music and especially towards the end it lightens up a bit, but in general I was trying to create something fat and concerned. But I guess everybody sees his game differently - I found Trem to be a good and at times a little claustrophobic shooter, but still by far not a horror game...
Thanks for the opinion, will see whether I can make a dark and worrying remix ;)
-
It misses some punch to it, it needs something that makes it sound more dark and scarier... :) .
-
Thanks sk0re :)
-
I like it, but I agree that it should be darker and scarier.
-
http://www.last.fm/music/David+%27skOre%27+Deutsch
z0mg! You're an artist on last.fm!
-
wait a second... :D
Thanks for the push - considered last.fm but never in this way... :)
-
It's been there for a while. You should edit it to include your picture/bio/etc.
-
Well... metal has been the sound of tremulous since tremradio ;)
What kind of music would marines listen to in their spare time? Aliens would listen to happy hardcore while they get high from eating human adrenal glands and jump around taunting for no apparent reason (as they do in almost every game).
I like sk0re's piece but I'm don't think it fits in with trem - I agree that dark, tense, "impending doom" music (like that of the opening sequence to alien3). Ultimately, trem need intro music that is so scary that by the time the first map has loaded, everyone is so overwhelmed with fear and terror that even the most pr0 players crap their pants and faint at the first sight of a dretch. Yes, that's right, the intro music should be "wannabe" by the Spice Girls.
-
Maybe I'm just uncreative, but I was thinking better opening music would be like (not the same as, but similar to) the opening music for the Doom 3 LMS mod - http://www.neurosphere.it/Images/media/LMS.mp3
except, not as upbeat. and no horns
-
hmmmmmm... the song's good I guess...
but I expected some more... horror songs, I mean, Tremulous is scary, especially when a tyrant is charging at you and you don't have any weapons :P (My brother always screams when that happens)
Anyways, the song was good, I didn't get tired of it. But it sounded more like... ghost busters...
oh well, still good :P
-
But Tremulous isn't a horror game. It's more of an adrenaline game, whatever that means. It's not turn around and scream at what's there, it's more turn around and empty your shotgun into the goon.
-
Pretty cool.
Alot better than the crappy menu screen midi music now ;(
-
Not really for trem, but it's something :D
Thanks for taking the effort of doing an actual song.
{Note to Dasprid: play this one in the next tremradio :)}
-
But I guess everybody sees his game differently - I found Trem to be a good and at times a little claustrophobic shooter, but still by far not a horror game...
Let me clarify my point : i said "horror movie" because i dont know how to describe songs in English. With the terms "horror movie", everyone got my point and know approximately what kind of music i m waiting for.
Tremulous isn t an horror game, but it is inspired by Gloom...If you dont know Gloom, its a Quake 2 mod which is dark, dark, and...DARK.
However, like Lava_Croft once said, Quake 3 engine makes things "cute". The proportion in models (Battlesuit for example), the lightnings etc... everything looks a bit different than it should be. You can guess that the game is using Quake 3 engine just by looking at it. So this removes a bit of what could have been scary.
But i do think the game is (or at least is intented to be) scary: When a tyrant charges, it is scary (that s why every noob shout "OMG TYRANT" whenever they see one). When you ve got a rifle and no armor, going in a boxes room with many shadows and place to hide for aliens, it is scary.
Thats why i think a scary music would suit Trem.
-
Hmm, I actually never knew I had such an entry on last.fm and thought you just created it... so thanks for pointing me to it!
As for the other comments, I think I can already draw one conclusion - you seem to be OK with the idea of having some new music to Trem and while some already like the song as it is, most would like to have it darker.
I guess I will go back to the drawing board and put out at least a scary remix of the song. Thanks for all the response so far!
-

it is good but after listening 10000 times it sounds annoying
and it not even midi

Add some adrenaline to it. It should get me in the mood to go hunting.
-
Just to get this right, is this the mood the "darker and more scary"-people are looking for:
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_129.ogg
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_129.mp3
Please excuse the bad quality, this was put together quite fast (say, an hour). I just wanted to test if I could get some dark feeling into a tune and sketched around a little.
-
Wow this one is really nice. Both "scary" and "punchy". Definitely a song for Trem. I cant believe you did this in only one hour.
The only thing that i thought a bit weird is that the slow/dark part is at the end of the song, after the fast/punchy part. I think it "might" be better the other way around...but i m not sure.
One thing is for sure : while writing this post, i have been listening to your song. It must be the 4th or 5th times but i dont wanna stop it XD.
Keep this style : in my opinion its perfect. I cant wait for a release with a better sound quality and/or a third song :p
-
Uh, now thats a comment :D
Thanks a lot, will work on it a little more over the weekend!

hmmmm... sounds better
but it could be something like this (http://www.freewebs.com/holyknight234/Lust%20For%20Blood.mp3)
but it's my opinion
also, note that the music I posted here is japanese song by Gackt, one of the most popular singers of Japan.
The first part is really neat, I loved the first part, sounds like as if a meteor is crashing to Earth (but you could put that as if it has to do with an egg hatching dretch) And then goes to "war"

That sounds better but you should make it have a bit more tenser athmosphere,make whoever heres the music feel endangerd,claustrophobic,and hopeless.
Btw here,s a site that you could reference to what you may want.
http://www.sounddogs.com/
Try typing horror in the search querie.

lol, knew someone was going to say that :P
-
the second one is better but maybe a few BOOMS would improve it :D. to make a comparison it's like megadeth's song crush'em: it has a lot of potential but it just doesn't give you that kick in the balls that make you want to press x equiped with a psaw and total the OM.
thanks for all the hard work so far, i'm looking forward to your next release ^^
-
Just to get this right, is this the mood the "darker and more scary"-people are looking for.
wow. impressive work. :eek:
but I would agree with Ksempac and reverse it so that it starts slow and scary and then progresses to the intense part.
this would IMO reflect the gameplay best.
-
Heh sorry, I went for the bang first and the athmosphere later ;)
thanks for the comments!
-
Had no time over the weekend, but found some today...
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_129_03.mp3
http://www.skore.de/images/stories/music/Song_129_03.ogg
It grew a tad less scary at places I'm afraid.
Enjoy! :D
[edit]Note that this is a headphone mix, so it may sound too roomy on speakers. Will work on correct stereo image tomorrow - just had to get this out :)[/edit]
-
(forgot to say: would be great to get some comments! :))
-
YES.
129_03 is beginning to sound much more.... Tremulant.
Great stuff!
-
I must say, this is REALLY AWESOME!
With the "science" kind of song adding with horror :D
-
Thanks a lot :)
The "science" part are field recordings of computer engineering courses btw :D We happen to have a exercise lecturer with an awesome voice and completely strange style of talking.
Oh and has anybody got an idea what I have to do to get a developer reaction on this? I've already sent one of them a notice but have no reaction so far...
-
it sounds a lot better now. keep up the good work.
-
I like the music and its starting to get somewhere near trem, however to me it sounds far more suited to a game like uplink :-?
-
I'm starting to get a hang on the music demographics here :)
I guess there is one part hard rock/ heavy metal guys and one part electronic music guys. The first didn't occur to me directly until I listened to the Tremulous webcast. I guess to really suit everybody, I would need some rock and guitar influences, which I both can't offer (I'm completely not coming from that background ;)).
Anyways - thanks again for the comments :) Could I make the guess that you're coming from a more Rock-related background then, Henners?
-
I know this is really old... but these songs are HOT... and definitely fit the theme for tremulous... I love this XD ima put this on my MP3 player rofl!
-
hell yeah
please make 1.2 support ogg files
(it does actually but you need to compile with a special flag)
-

o yea, I remember that time... it was very embarassing for me... lol
-
I would love it if modular sound logic based on the radar implementation was coded in. For instance as you turn a corner where fighting is progressivly faster music would be played (as thus music would be a set of files). The only problem is that would be a pretty hefty addition to the game.
Just wondering, what do you use to produce your music? Hardware or soft?
-
Humans = Metal (mostly Finnish Death Metal, but some Swedish Sleaze Rock is OK, too) XD
Aliens = industrial electronic goth death speed thrash core garage horror punk (the darker the better, but some old skool Detroit/NY glam would be funnier) : ) (Something like the Vines - FTW comes to mind).
Music comes from key structure: Reactor/Overmind; the closer you are to base, the louder the music is. Each map could have about an hour's worth of music by obscure bands on a loop. Campers would never leave base. "Yeah, we'll attack... right after this song." :D
-
Rofl great idea!
-
XD I'd end up losing all of my slightly 1337 skillz, and becoming an om junky or something of the sort...
-
Holy crap. That song is awesome, and it fits trem really well.
Do you mind if I make a video with it? Another promo trailer, but really showing off the scarier side of the game. I've never made a video like this before, but I've done plenty of other AMV's, so I don't think I'd screw up that bad.
PS. I'm new here. Long time player, first time poster.

Hey bud, welcome to the forums. What program do you use for your video editting? I've been thinking of getting into a bit of that myself.
Best wishes on your promo trailer!

what do you think about this song???

Hmm... for video editing I use crappy old ghetto Windows Movie Maker. It's really nothing serious for me, I just do it at times when I'm bored, or when (as in this case) I hear or see something that immediately inspires me. There are far better programs than WMM and far more qualified people to tell you about them. I just use it cause it came with my PC. I'm 16, I don't have a job, and if I did, I sill probably wouldn't use it to by video editing software.
Anyways, if I am to make a video using this song, it should have a name for it. I was thinking of the name "Paranoia", as I think it fits the claustrophobic nature of both the song and the game itself. What do you think?
BTW, I've got all my ideas sketched out into my head. I've also got a 4-hour busride tomorrow to somewhere, so I'll probably write the script then. One question: is there anyway to completely disable the hud in Tremulous? If not how would I go about recording good, solid, in-game footage? Any suggestions?
-
For aliens and spectators, you simply need to /cg_draw2d 0
For humans, you need to /cg_draw2d 1 and /cg_drawgun 0
I'm assuming you know that those get input in console, and to undo the commands you just replace the 0 with 1.
-
Thanks.
-
:D No problem, oh, and welcome to the forums, dude!
Good luck with the promo.

Does it come with Windows operating systems? Cuz if it does I could go digging for it, otherwise I'm gonna have to go buy it!
-
KK, I think it comes with WinXP, so if you have that, look in your Start menu.
PS. Your initials border on obscenely rascist. XP
-
I found it by fluke once. Do a system search for Movie Maker in your C drive.
You could, alternatevly, look in C/Program Files, for Windows Movie Maker.
-
Hey, you are using some good samples, making the glas-doors of my furniture shiver :D .. i like 192_03 the best. Really good alienlike tune! .. can't wait for good ogg-support and your soundtrack in remulous (mp3 sucks)
great work, really :o)
p.s. keep going, we demand more! :DDD
-
I like to make music. Though I am no expert at it, I could take a try to get some of my songs on your "tremradio" thing.
But let me tell you why this would be a bad idea. I have done many things while listening to my Ipod. I sucked more in the sports I played, got tired faster, and lacked in focus, all when I did something while listening to music.
Tremulous, I had done much worse at it while listening to music, partly because of the reason that I could not hear my enemy, and was not focused enough to aim that well.
Your ideas are swell and seem nice, but may not always work out.
I know others have their own opinions, and by stating mine, I am risking getting bagged by like 50 people who will flame me somehow. Just an opinion. After I finish my next CD, I will try out music for trem.
