What's the music in this? I see boats.m4a but it doesn't have any metadata.

I made it! I didn't figure anyone was going to take a look at it so I skimped on the metadata.

Oh, well damn. It's awesome! I would totally listen to this on a regular basis

Thanks! My band just released a new single: http://youtu.be/cDeRQ7rNP4Y (free download in description) — but that's quite a bit different from the music in the game.

You're from THE Sykur? That's awesome, you're one of my favourite Icelandic hipster bands.

Awesome! Thanks for picking us from the plethora of Icelandic hipster bands!

I'm not going to lie, both the game music and the music in the youtube link are right up my alley. If you make an album of either, I'll buy them :)

I perused the rest of your videos, and couldn't really get into them. But Strange Loop really hit a sweet spot for me. The lyrics and melodies are phenomenal.

I agree. The other stuff is a few years old, and I like to think the new single is more mature.

The music is great and fits perfectly. Really good job with the whole thing!

I have this on repeat to study to now. Love your song!

I like this. Good stuff.
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by Kiro on Friday December 12, 2014 @12:31PM (#8741435)
Really good! I will definitely check out more Sykur stuff.
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by cvburgess on Friday December 12, 2014 @01:41PM (#8741889)
Yeah, definitely opened the game in a tab and just listened to the music. Great job!

I like it too, it reminds me of Mass Effect 2's music, galaxy map in particular (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1fJoBDP6Fo)
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by dirkk0 on Friday December 19, 2014 @10:58AM (#8772737)
true! I tried to find that, thanks for the link.

Is the OPs music (i.e. the game music) up on Soundcloud or Youtube or may I take it from the sources like 'wget https://notendur.hi.is/~keh4/TRON/assets/boats.m4a'?

Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by andars on Friday December 12, 2014 @02:29PM (#8742181)
Sorry if the answer is obvious to someone more experienced, but what software/tools do you use?
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by kreldjarn on Friday December 12, 2014 @02:56PM (#8742339)
This is Korg MS-10, Korg's Polysix softsynth and a few samples, all cooked together in Ableton Live and drowned in Waves plugins, mostly H-Delay and the SSL channel.

Speaking of, you should consider adding a Opus or Vorbis for wider browser support.
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by kreldjarn on Friday December 12, 2014 @12:11PM (#8741272)
Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't even thought that far ahead — the music was a bit of an afterthought.
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by roeme on Saturday December 13, 2014 @10:28AM (#8745343)
Honestly, the first thing I did after playing for a half a minute was downloading the track, and trying to find out who made it.

Hope there will be more tracks in this style (skyur wasn't really for me).

It is really fascinating how much the music adds to the experience; it creates an instant atmosphere.
Re:Classic arcade game TRON on a cloth modelling grid by jmtame on Friday December 12, 2014 @11:45PM (#8744186)
