Welcome to the twenty-third music update of the year
Today's Agenda:
~ Mod releases & updates
~ Music update
~ Secret project update
Mod Releases & Updates
First, we celebrate the release of Themes of the Old World on Imperator: Rome! You can now enjoy all 24 songs as you create the Roman world of your dreams. Unfortunately, due to PDS's halted development on Imperator the music engine is basic and there is no contextualisation. But if you are one of the 3 people still playing I:R, grab the mod!
Second, TOTOW on EU4 has been given a compatch for enhanced playing alongside the Imperialism Reinvigorated Mod. If you remember, a main theme for this mod was released back in June. The development team there are making great progress toward their next update and with the patch, integration of the music is now complete. Here’s a link to the mod!
Music Update
Last time I indicated that I wanted to dabble in East-Asian music and asked people to provide some examples and inspiration. I have received some great stuff here and in my DM's. Thank you to everyone who provided input!
So what's happened since? The good news is that I have not only started working on a piece, but completed it entirely. I have dropped the whole thing down below for you to listen to and provide feedback. Have a listen!
The bad news is that due to technical limitations in both software and sound libraries, I was unable to use any traditional East-Asian instruments. The resultant music is thus a more Western-style piece, hopefully with East-Asian themes. I was really looking forward to working with the Erhu, so perhaps in the future I will try again
Secret Project Update
I may discuss next time
Enjoy!
