I decided to release all the music I had done for the Hammerite Imperium to the community. I made over 60 minutes of music for it - mostly ambient, neoclassical, and such mellow stuff that works as unobtrusive background music, but there is also one electro/industrial metal tune. Everyone is free to use these in their FMs, and other non-profit ventures.

I've been meaning to release all of these for quite some time now, but I just kept procrastinating. I had to redo one song (Disturbed) from scratch because of file corruption and I wanted to remix everything after I had learned more about mixing, mastering, etc. Well, long story short, I finally took the time to lay this eternity project to rest, and you can download all the finished stuff from the first link below.

P.S. Ziili (the other guy making music for the Hammerite Imperium) released his tunes a couple of years ago too. This thread has info about them, but the links don't work anymore: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107784).

Thank ye guys. I hope they end up being usefull to mission makers, and of course enjoyable just to listen to


Whatwhatwhat? It's really being released? I had no idea. I must have completely fallen out of the loop (which isn't all that surprising considering how many projects I tend to work on all the time) :D

Are you the one working on the 7SoM mission? If so, I'd recommend you download these new versions of my songs for the mission then, because they are superior in quality. I could also provide you with '16 bit 44 kHz' or '32f bit 44 khz' wave files, but I don't have any place where to host such large amount of data at the moment (yousendit etc. works but would only be a temporary solution)

Had I known people were still working on HI I might have delayed the release of these songs until the 7SoM mission was released. I would have still released them for all the community to use at some point anyway. I hope me releasing these can serve as a promotional tool for the mission.

Absolutely. Except, I had to disable new accounts this morning because I was getting numerous spam accounts created daily. But if you want to create an account, just let me know and I'll reenable new user creation until you're in, then switch it off again. :thumb:

As for using the higher quality files, I'm not sure it will matter... they're mushed down to IMA ADPCM format for the ZIP anyway. However, we can consider using them and converting to OGG for packaging if the difference in sound quality is noticeable. I'll leave that up to John Denison, who's currently leading the testing.

Thank ye, good sir. It's good to hear they work well on a 5.1 surround system. I mixed them into goode olde 2.0 stereo (because one has to accommodate the lowest common denominator). I do have a couple of stereo imaging/surround/whatever tricks that I include in all my songs, so I guess they also brought life to the tracks in systems beyond just stereo.

Thanks for adding me. I'll come join asap.


Sure, I'll join. Let me know when you've enable registering, and I'll come charging in. :cool:

And indeed do let me know if you need the higher quality samples, and I'll find some way to send them to you, or to whomever needs them.




Thank ye. This is exactly what I like to hear. I'm happy people will use my humble stuff in Thief fan missions, and I look forward to playing yours when it's released.

Horny has such a name because it has horns in it. Why? What did you think it was? (I am a perverted bugger, aren't I?) :ebil:

Night's Work is indeed my take on the original Thief intro song. I always wanted to try my hands on such a song, and that is the result. At times I think I might have made it too metal, but I think it still fits the theme.
