Hi ,
currently the game soundtrack is limited to a few tracks, 8-10 i guess.
After some time, it becomes honestly boring (though the music generally is not bad).
I had this idea of adding some non-copyrighted quality music tracks to the current soundtrack, to make it more vast and enjoyable.
My initial idea was to search and add only some non-copyrighted classic themes,
to create a deeper feeling, similar to the "2001 : a space odissey" soundtrack.
Here are 2 generic examples taken from the "2001 : a space odissey" soundtrack :
R. Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 (Theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1HdRwiANpE
Johann Strauss II - The Blue Danube Waltz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CTYymbbEL4
There are many non-copyrighted classic themes that might be chosen and added to the current soundtrack :
Gustav Mahler - Adagietto from Symphony no. 5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWPACef2_eY
Air - Johann Sebastian Bach
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrVDATvUitA
Pachelbel - Canon In D Major
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80
Verdi - Aida - Grand March
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX0qN6QEvGg
Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, Pietro Mascagni
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIQ2D6AIys8
Richard Wagner - Ride Of The Valkyries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGU1P6lBW6Q
Smetana - Die Moldau
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTKsHwqaIr4
Four Seasons ~ Vivaldi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxofEmo3HA
Rachmaninoff-Rhapsody
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgtEUr_n9vM
Edvard Grieg - Solveig's Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3N1yBEGbw
Edward Grieg - Morning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv6-Jc5De_w
Edward Grieg - Peace of the woods
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgRvjTtrzEo
Modest Mussorgsky: Great Gate of Kiev
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8gs4TozJbQ
Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiuC_CaObbI
But no limits : why limiting the choice of new tracks only to classic themes ?
After all, the player base is made of various people of various preferences, so -in general- the idea can be extended to non classic music themes, no limits,
just to enrich the current soundtrack as much as possible .
This would add value to the game experience, and make it more enjoyable, with no costs due to non-copyrighted music.
The final result : a list of many many tracks,
and i also suggest to add the possibility for any player to choose/"customize" the available tracklist , so each player can create a preferred soundtrack
