So one day I was thinking about what I could do to mod Bridge Commander for the first time. The idea hit me: We don't have many music mods for Bridge Commander. I know there have been several mods that put new music into the game, like the Klingon Academy Music Mod, but not many. So I'm going to try to make my own original themes for Bridge Commander.

If anyone wants to take a listen to some of the music I've made, here are a few samples (And please note I'm still a bit of an amateur):

EDIT: Did I post this in the wrong section? Sorry if I did, if a mod could please move it...

We don't have music mods because it's technically piracy. You can't upload music you didn't create to a free download site.

I know, as I said, I'm making my own completely from scratch.

Thats very cool!

oh and by the way. in your first piece, the electric guitars, can you put the guitars on the left and right speakers? it would have more depth i think.

I liked the second one, could be useful. Could you come up with a music composition from a video?...an incomplete video I might add. I'll PM you for further information.

Now this, I like.

@JTK That first piece is going to be in another completely unrelated project I am working on. Good tip though, I'll keep that in mind when I recompose it.

@Kirk No problem

@Cordanilus I can try.

This is great, have a cookie!! I'm in the process of making a star trek show for free, and honestly music is the hardest to do since i'm not an artist. Would you consider joining up for a 30 second music intro?

Toa_Kaita · « **Reply #10 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:06:56 PM »

Sure, I can do that.

Oh man ! when I listen to the second one I think Mass Effect meets ST ;) great tune really, would be even better if you could smuggle some recognizable motives from any Trek music ;)

the first one could be easyli transformed into cool Klingon tune (just listen to Klingon battle from ST TMP... it would be epic with electric guitars and some more cool stuff in it, like Jimmy's Hendrix 'All along the Watchtower' performed by Bear's McCreary team for BSG soundtrack)

got to admit what bankrupt said, music along with bridge modding is the hardest thing to mod although bridges are hard technically, music is hard to get feeling of it and fit it to overal atmoshpere and so I'll give you cookie aswell for starting something really new and fresh ;)

Mass Effect and Star Trek meeting...*drools*

I agree, music is pretty hard to come up with, and there are a lot of factors involved. I'm about to ship out my first piece, and everyone gets a preview

Toa_Kaita · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:17:05 PM »

Music for Starbase 12 is here.

Vladko1 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:18:53 PM »

I have Guitar Pro 5 with all of the add ons. I made some songs but I cant find them in the HDD (its mess like the Universe

). Now at the moment everyone sleeps except me and I will here the music maybe tommorow.

my friend Toa_Kaita ( i know him as thedarkarcon4 ), has created a music piece that just inspired me to bring back my little BC Pegasus Series. With his permission, I have used his music creation as a foundation for the USS Pegasus. It fits just beautifully.

copyright rules say:

I take no side, this is just a rule, i will not argue

I've had some free time during the holidays, so here's my nebula piece. Note that my music is very different from the normal orchestral scores you would hear in Star Trek.

Alluding to that, I prefer the second piece much more over the first. I would rather see you do more orchestral stuff. If you made more music like that, it would be perfect for a new Trek game.

Now I don't want to get ahead of myself, but have you heard of Star Trek Excalibur? It's a new game made completely from scratch. They're looking for a composer.

Indeed I have heard of it, and if I'm not too busy with my other projects I'd definitely consider composing for them

The reason why I add more synthesized elements to my music is to try to create a new atmosphere for Star Trek, to make it sound...ah whats the word...more futuristic than normal. Of course I do want to keep the grand orchestral themes, because Star Trek without a grand orchestral theme is like Captain Kirk without women. It cant be done.
