Niiiice!Here is a track I often think about while updating my threads in various forums about Oolite, Pioneer and FFE3D, a classic cover from CCR And Gernot? Yes those tracks would fit in well with the game!

You people sure listen to weird music. How about something nice and normal like this?[url]http://notes.variogr.am/post/262976984/a-singular-christmas-2004[/url]

TUUUUUUNNNEEE!!!!!!!!!Great. :)Btw here's a peek at a track for Pioneer I'm working on:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9655550/Music/Raw%20Ting.ogg

I like it! Although you may not find that to be a complement considering what I posted. And yes, I do have some of those tracks in my 'space' folder. I also have some oldies, the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet for example, and if you can find it, try 'Music From Outer Space' by Frank Comstock. Very Star Trek TOS-like.Edit: Here's something we might all like. This is a free midi file, convert it to ogg, stick it in your 'space' folder and smoke it - um, I mean, play it. I tried to post the converted file for you, but it was too big.[attachment=1155:echoes[1].zip]

why, is it made with a "Theremin" (ætherphone)?edit: wrong guessing, i thought i've read once TOS soundtrack was made with a theremin.the theremin was invented in 1920 by Lev Sergeivich Termen (Léon Theremin), a very simple synthesizer based on the varying capacity of a electrical field, when it's disturbed by another capacitive loaded body (a human hand i.e.).the original instrument is very simply build without any semiconductors (1920, of course).once i found the original circuits layout in the web, there exists many kits for the theremin, but most are semiconductor based new layouts. copyright holder of the original layout is RCA if i'm not wrong (unfortunately...).anyway here's something that lets you know how it sounded and still sounds, it's not that i really like this, just as an info,i guess you've got a computer to.i found "Project: Comstock - Music From Outer Space" the whole album here,http://otherworldsounds.blogspot.com/2009/08/space-age-fantastica-project-comstock.htmlit's worth to browse his blog, more music played on the theremin,http://otherworldsounds.blogspot.com/search/label/Electronic[/hr]btw, if we havn't those filesharers how could we exchange our impressions?i was looking a few days ago for a special classical recording "vivaldi - concerti con molti strumenti", it's available yes, but does music industry really believe i pay >1$ for a mp3 each tempi? or buy a CD for 40$? crazy? if can get the record in a shop where i can listen to it first?always arguing about piracy and minor sales, change the way of thinking.i own >200 LP's and >200 CD's (i have no idea how many really), any questions?statistically seen the people who download and share music are people who have already a large collection of records.apart from that, you can't find each and every record you like to listen to in a "legal" way.i have a classical LP recorded in the 30's under the HMV label, never found the record in the archive of HMV, like it wouldn't have existed, am i free now to spread this?i guess no!biggest music pirates was industry itself, already back in the days of "vaudville" they had agents (spys to tell it right), who lurked around in the streets and cafe's where they played new scores, quickly they wrote down every note and often they had the production finished before the original artists had a chance to publish it.is that lawful? is that right?isn't that organized crime?"rabbit, bear, come - we've got work to do"all this so called "copyright infringement" goes to far, i was visiting a page of the inherits of a german comedian. "abmahner" (free working lawyers who search only for copyright infringements) have charged the keepers of the page with 4000€ for posting prosa of the artist in the forum of the site. a forum is to me something like a enhanced very large lounge table, where we sit and talk about "idontknow". well how long does it take until they come into my house to hear what we've been talking resp. recite? (fortunately in switzerland this still isn't allowed, but how long?)oral basket...

The music industry is still like this today At least still stealing and using bits that they shouldn't.BAck when I was younger I was into Drum and Bass, as it turns out all the famous Drum and Bass artists/tune writers would rip off entire tracks from old Jazz/Soul/Blues bands.Adam F, Grooverider, Ronnie Size, Goldie, Just a handful of more famous D&B names that got really rich doing that :)But, thats what music is all about. These guys shaped music for a generation despite releasing illegal tracks

Cheers hehe. Its kind of inspired by Vangelis, the Greek God of Music lol. And I ripped off Phil Collins (day in paradise) and Battlestar Galactica (along the watchtower) for chords

Thanks for the link to the blog Gernot! Lots of interesting music to explore. Btw, would someone please give me a hint about how to get the music player to play more than two songs in a category before it stops? Ideally I'd like it to play continuously, but increasing the plays to a large number would work too. I'm looking at the code and I'm confused.

Yes, they would be. VegaStrike's artwork is released under the GPL, as well as a Creative Commons license. As a GPL project, Pioneer is entitled to use it.

just to share some unfortunately i can't have sound in pioneer, but it wouldn't sound good on the macbook anyway.http://archive.org/download/J.S.BachSarabande/J.S.BachSarabande_vbr_mp3.ziphttp://archive.org/download/J.S.Bach-TranscriptionsForOrchestra/10PassacagliaAndFugueInCMinorrespighi.oggthat's usually an organ tune, but sounds goodhttp://archive.org/download/thecarportorchestrabodysongs/body_song_2.oggSamplings of the DNA genome sequence of a human body, converted and scored for the carport orchestra.that's of special interest,http://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22the+carport+orchestra%22many tracks may sound uninspired, but i guess something is needed to feed such a program.

I have an old LP of the passacaglia and fugue played on the pedal harpsichord. It was one of my favorite albums. I haven't played it in decades. The Body Song could have continued on for quite a bit longer, I think. That wasn't enough to code a bacterium. Thanks!

that's why i linked the whole selection of the "carport orchestra" to, there are longer compositions made from this sequence or things like "the inevitably ambiguous waltz of the salmonella", besides of some classical pieces and ambient/space tracks.[attachment=1157:sunrecords.png]i know, now should follow something like "carl perkins - dixie fried"s2odan, well it's not easy to differ between copy and rip, i mean you can do that for good and of course all composers of all times peeped from behind over the shoulders of their competitors. i guess i's one thing to adapt something because of respect and a complete different to simply make a plagiate, if you get rich by occasion with the first, well alright.i guess if you would ask the countless jazz musicians that have been "cheated", they would say that this is "mad crap", to adapt from other musicians is natural, to mark copyrights is only needed if you can't play.

some more experimental electronic musichttp://archive.org/details/nite-owl-recordsit seems many compositions under this label are GPL or CC licensed, sometimes no license is shown, but that didn't mean that it's always GPL.even when i know archive.org is very precautious with that and will usually label a CC licence if the case is not to clear.one that has pleased me from this label is,http://archive.org/details/Frequl-FrecklesEpyou know that i'm a "rocker", but for gaming i really prefere some noisy electronical stuff.

I dont know how useful this might be to someone creating music or adding sound effects, but there is a portal on Wiki that has tons of musical pieces and sound effects, here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Featured_sounds
