Idea Orbiter soundtrack

[ar81]

Movies have soundtracks.
Games have soundtracks.
When the book "Shadows of the empire" was published, a soundtrack was published too. To me it was an interesting idea.

People seem to use soundtracks from games or commercial artists when they play.
I was having the idea of having an original Orbiter soundtrack.
I bet a composer in the forums might like to make a soundtrack.

What do you think about it?
Is it feasible that people here might be willing to replace their ripped soundtracks and put an original one?

orbiter needs a kick-ass theam song

 

[astrosammy]

Yeah, I needs to be something great like in Apollo 13, or 2001.

 

[ar81]

What is a "kickass" song?
People like different types of music.

 

[Star Voyager]

True...It does need something. Something corageous, daring, yet sweet and soft to listen to.

[Star Voyager]

Very interesting! I like it.

 

[dougkeenan]

For a soundtrack, how about a procedural melody derived from planetary positions?

 

[Star Voyager]

Or a combined "The Planets" by Holst. Different pieces of each of the series and combine them all!

 

[tgep]

How about a series of royalty free songs from a varity of TV shows and movies based on space exploration ?

 

[Star Voyager]

What movies and shows did you have in mind?

 

[doggie015]

I have an idea: When you land at Cape Canaveral or any other major spaceport (Asension island and so on) "We Built This City" by Starship automatically plays in the background. What do you think?

This may not be a terribly original suggestion, but I absolutely love the second song (called "Stardate") on the Star Trek: The Next Generation Original Soundtrack.

Hi
If we´re looking for a soundtrack and we want to use free royalty music, try Jamendo.
This is one of my favourite albums that I listen using Orbiter

[RisingFury]

If legal, I suggest one of the songs from X3 Reunion. The soundtracks are actually provided in MP3 form with the game... I love listening to that stuff.

 

[TMac3000]

For launch, depends on whether you like rock and roll or drama.
If you like drama, I suggest:

1) "Southampton" from the Titanic soundtrack

2) "Adiemus" by Enya

If you like rock and roll, almost anything with a nice hard beat will do, but I would go with:

1) "Maria (I Like it Loud)" by Scooter

2) "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpion

3) "Into the Never" by Metallica

Some of the songs which I listen to on spacewalks:

 

[Pilot7893]

I think for post-launch, we should have something along the lines of this

Also, re entry could have something deep and imposing, yet peaceful and calm.

This is pretty good, thanks for sharing it!

For those times when you get flung off into deep space at relatavistic speeds, I suggest Cygnus X1 by Rush. And play it LOUD!
