## About This Content
9 new in-game music tracks to enhance Flatspace IIk. Like any in-game music
for Flatspace, these will trigger at random when you enter a new sector. Three
music packs were originally designed for the Flatspace and Flatspace II games,
but these were in ogg format and not compatible with the Steam release of
Flatspace IIk, so when the time came to re-release the music packs I saw this
as an opportunity to revisit the music.
The first, original music pack was created in 2005, and included a mix of
unused game music, such as the epic theme to The Heart of Aorkhan, and some
tracks from my solo albums up until that time, such as a track from the first
version of The Spiral Staircase. I’m now a full time artist and my music has
changed considerably since 2005, so I wanted to include some recent music, as
well as the best quality versions of those original tracks. I also wanted to
make sure that all of the music that had a sense of awe and wonder, the
feeling of free space flight that embodies the experience of playing
Flatspace.
All of the tracks here are different to some extent from those in the old
Flatspace Music Pack. In some cases, such as Sea Monsters, new recordings of
the music have been used.
This pack includes a full description of the music as a pdf booklet. Here is
an outline of the music included:
The Heart of Aorkhan: Main Theme
Created using the first generation of my music software, Noise Station, in
2001, this was the main theme for a massive 3D rogue-like game that didn’t
make it to final release. This is the oldest music in the Flatspace Music
Packs, and is a restored version of the recording in the older music pack.
Catacombs
This was part of The Heart of Aorkhan soundtrack. Catacombs made it onto one
of my earliest albums, The Incredible Journey. Catacombs is part of Flatspace
II (The Official Soundtrack), and the fan-commissioned track, Journey Through
Fractional Space, was developed as a crossover between this and Flatspace
tune, Cobra.
Fall in Green: Barefoot (instrumental version)
Fall in Green are an act of poetry and live instruments made up of myself,
Mark Sheeky, and Deborah Edgeley. Barefoot is from 2018, and was released only
as a bonus track with our first single, Who is Afraid/She Floats.
Insanity
A simple fugue.
Oceanic
Oceanic appears on Animalia, one of my early albums, which were heavily
influenced by Jean-Michel Jarre.
Reliquary I: Angel on the Moon
A new release, this music was composed to accompany a work of art, a fabulous
jewelled cabinet called The Love Reliquary.
Sea Monsters
Sea Monsters is part of my first album on a symphonic scale, a conceptual
electronic works called The Spiral Staircase. This is the 2008 version.
Space
A short track which pre-dates the original Flatspace game.
The 7th Bell
Inspired by 1970s electronic music, such as Pulstar and Alpha by Vangelis. The
full version of this track is on Flatspace II (The Official Soundtrack).
