Music!

[Galloglaich]

That Wardruna would be great to have!

But what about battle music? You gonna use same as vanilla?

Nope, either Beiss i'll create it or we will find some somewhere.

Ahem. "Beiss will", not "Beiss i'll". What is it with you and apostrophes scattered all over the place anyway?

I like it though.

Mixed folk tunes and such. Some are new version of old, some are interpretations of old, etc

Jon-Erik Öst - Skansenpolskan

I like Polska, doesn't fully match the strategy or battles of Total war but it always puts a smile on my face

[Beiss]

Ronja has excellent music. Thanks for the links.

[spike_gta]

Are the melancholic "visor" anything that the mod team is after? I can provide some more if it's deemed appropriate but I don't want to waste anyiones time :p

Was listening to Wardruna (and by go they are brilliant!) and it reminded me of Gjallarhorn.

Kullning (this song is their crowning jewel imo)

For battles perhaps some North European folk metal bands? Like Metsatöll of Estonia:

[Beiss]

The team is very much against having metal music in the mod for whatever reason, but it can still serve as inspiration for non-metal music, so thank you.

[Vesainen]

What about traditional kantele music? The sound of kantele fits in well with Fennoscandian mythology.

[spike_gta]

Still not completely sure on the style of folk music you want, but here's some more additions anyway, in the worst case they might serve as inspiration.

Some kulning

Yeah, kulning is awesome, I wish I could find someone to sing like that for the WotN soundtrack. Thanks for the links, both of you. I've been trying to get some kantele-like sounds in there, too.

[brennas]

I recomment using "authentic" music to this mod, not pagan or viking metal.
A group from Poland:

Those are a group of guys of Quebec that make Viking music:

[Beiss]

Thanks!

After about 20 seconds in this song, you can hear Norwegian (-ish?) vocals. I'd like to find someone to sing like this, in addition to someone to do kulning and someone like Elolinona.

EDIT: Well, that was retarded. Here's the song I was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=441t9-Ouevs

[avatarius]

not bad.

[Heathen Storm]

Just to let you guys know:
I'm making a music mod, with my main purpose to be to bring the dark age feel to Medieval, for any mod to use (with permission of course). I am a composer and i've been writing music for several years now. I have given the WoTN team permission to use any of my music they want, so this may have solved their dilema (hmm.... that does not look right. ). It is very wardruna-esque, I LOVE wardruna's music. It's also very heavily laden with war-drums. Songwriting is going quite well so I think i'll have a short little preview in the next few days.

[Beiss]

Looking forward to hearing it!

Glad to hear

You'd probably want something with less vocals for the mod though, but at least here is a chance for those unaccustomed to it to hear more from the beautiful Scandinavian folk tradition.
