So basically we can chose the soundtrack we want for the main menu with the music player? Coz we have three of them with utopia (original, leviathan one and utopia)
 
No matter how I love soundtrack in PDX games, Stellaris's...well...I can't speak my mind, because...Know what? I want to take ticket from the Earth, ASAP:p
 
I like your new music player system paradox. It comes in handy with all those music packs for Ck2 :)
 
I don`t buy soundtracks, because i get distracted while playing the game, but after hearing “In Memory of MR" (Mercedes Romero), i am overcome with emotion and cried like a baby, it is one of the most beautiful and soul steering pieces i have ever heard in my 61 years, Mr. Andreas Waldetoft, you sir are a musical genius and those musicians from "The Budapest Film Orchestra" are indeed top class and are truly one of the best orchestra there is. (Only 5 minutes and one take, WOW!!!) I am very impressed with “Towards Utopia” also. I would like to take this time to apologize to you sir (Mr. Andreas Waldetoftand) and to "Paradox" for not buying the soundtracks in the past, but from now on i will in the future and i will play them while playing the game. Thank you "Paradox" for caring so much about us (fans/customers) you are truly a great company and i am proud to be a part of the "Paradox" family and will do so, to my last days. Again loved the music. THANK YOU!!!!!!
 
listening to that sad song for MR made me think of something; maybe the Blorg should be a Hive Mind in the next update? it would make their friendlessness even more sad and pathetic then it already was, with it naming parts of itself after the intercepted Alien transmissions to try and counteract it's loneliness, and the fact that it can't annex others without first making them part of it's lonely collective makes the idea of allying and forming federations even more fitting for them...
 
Modding question - will we be able to tie music to events in game (ie if player loses war, play X,y,z track. If player forms alliance, play track A. If player begins war, play track B, then track C of winning, track D if losing etc)
 
First of all RIP Mercedes.

@Jazzhole

A few questions.

Why haven't you won any awards. (or maybe you have?)? You richly deserve them.

Do you realise your nickname sounds a bit... rude?

How's the music for Victoria 3 going?
 
Already said this on Reddit, but bears repeating:
Andreas needs to be recognized alongside top modern composers like Hans Zimmer, Max Richter, and Nils Frahm. He's doing amazing work, but probably doesn't get recognized as "serious" music because it is from a game - but that is changing!

(and yes, I teared up listening to "MR" and not afraid to admit it)

YOU FORGOT NICK PHOENIX AND THOMAS BERGERSEN
HOW COULD YOU
(sry for caps but i cant believe someone forgets about Two Steps from Hell)
 
The original Stellaris main theme was performed by Brandenburg State Orchestra. It varies which ones we use, I havent worked with the Budapest orchestra before but it was a pleasent experience for sure.
As a person who knows jack zero about musical composition and technical stuff, how much of a difference does it make to use different orchestras?
 
Will the music player works with Music Mods. In other words can i select different music from them mods.I also have update my music in game and added some new songs. Will that work with the music player?
