Hello, everyone! I'm very excited to release this. Thanks to @linuxgurugamer and @pizzaoverhead, I was able to create almost an entirely new soundtrack to Kerbal Space Program. I'll give a little bit of background about myself later, but here's what's included in the download. Description Over two hours of original music, composed and mixed by myself - inspired by Kerbal Space Program. There are specific songs for in and out of atmosphere on different worlds, specific songs for construction or space, specific songs for the influence of different bodies, and re-orchestrated and recorded/mixed a new version of the opening titles, using my composing software and libraries. The tone of music here is not stockalike. More about that below. What's Required In order to hear all this music, you need to have Soundtrack Editor Forked installed, along with its dependencies: Click Through Blocker, Toolbar Controller, and SpaceTux Library. These are not included in the download file here. You must get them on your own. Technical Details This adds a significant amount of music to the game, with songs ranging from 2 minutes to 6 minutes long. Expect a little bit of a hiccup every now and then when a new song is loading. Each song is exported as an .OGG file to try to help with compatibility. To Install Simply replace the Music and Playlist folder in the Soundtrack Editor mod with those in this mod. About Me This project has been a personal project I've wanted to do for years. In 2014 or 15, the KSP social media accounts shared some music of mine from SoundCloud that I had written, inspired by the game. I saw a lot of people really like that music, and when I found out about Soundtrack Editor, I always wanted to do this. Now, several years later, I finally found the motivation and time to do so! I'm a composer for short films, indie games, podcasts etc so composing music is not only part of my income, but a part of my daily life. I take a lot of pride in my music (I've even won an award for one of my scores!) and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. The tone of the music I created for this project ranges from electronic to drone and ambient. I used a lot of synthesizers (both hardware and software) as well as orchestral libraries and live recordings of instruments I own to make this. It's very much inspired by artists such as Ólafur Arnalds, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Hans Zimmer, Benjamin Wallfisch, and Rutger Zuydervelt. I wanted to make something that gives a different tone that stock KSP. The construction songs are still more upbeat, using electronic instruments and lo-fi beats, but once you get out of the VAB/SPH it's a different feel entirely. I do want to note: unfortunately I never got to Moho and Dres. They were the last two bodies that I was going to compose for, but I recently accepted a short film score and I didn't want to distract myself further from that. So for now, Moho and Dres are using the same track as Mun. Hopefully that's okay! Anyways, that's all for now I suppose. Post feedback below! License: If you like this music or the mods I do, please consider donating! Future I humbly request that you don't listen to this music outside of the game. I ask that you use your favorite free streaming service to listen to this music outside of the game. This way, I get (a very, very tiny amount of) money per stream. If you want to purchase the album, you certainly can, but I would ask that you donate directly to me instead (using the button below), otherwise major services get a cut of that amount. Selected songs from this mod are available under the album title "Celestial."

30 songs, and none of them by Kevin Macleod! With each celestial body having it's own dedicated track, 3 SPH/VAB tracks, 8 space tracks, and a fresh new title theme, Reach For The Stars aims to provide a cohesive musical experience to Kerbal Space Program. If you'd like, you can also listen on Youtube, Soundcloud, as well as Spotify and other streaming platforms! Dependencies: SoundtrackEditorForked (and thus, all of its dependencies) Install Instructions: 1. Download and install SoundtrackEditorForked 2. Download the ZIP file below 3. Place playlists.cfg into the Playlists folder. Replace your pre-exising playlists.cfg file. 4. Drag the folder named Reach For The Stars into the Music folder. Do not empty the contents of the folder into the base Music folder. 5. Load up KSP and enjoy! Shoutouts to Askerad, composer of Transfer Windows, for agreeing to compose a track for this! DOWNLOAD: Reach For The Stars I will attempt to release this on Curseforge and Spacedock in the coming days, but I've been having issues uploading the zip file to each site. My apologies

All 48 minutes of music selected for the latest stream (And no, my real name hasn't been leaked with the link. It's just an alias) My favourite track starts at about 38:52, having a sort of thumpy motif near the middle.

I’ve been thinking about music I’ve heard recently while browsing the forums and looking at KSP 2 show and tell highlight videos. I’m wondering if Intercept will use the music in those show and tell highlight videos, as I really like it (for some reason reminds me of OG Fortnite music (I know FORTNITE CRINGE but that og song went hard)), if they have already decided on a soundtrack, or are open to suggestions. In that case, I would definitely recommend Askerad’s Home. Does anyone have any information regarding this?

Soundtrack Editor The latest result of the Kerbal Sound Overhaul Project, this mod allows you to add and remove music from the game, and set up playlists which decide when each song plays. Always wanted to hear Blue Danube when docking with a space station, a metal version of KSP's theme song when you start up the game, or Danger Zone while you buzz the control tower? This is the mod for you! Just drop some music files in the KSP\Music\ directory, launch the game, and use the in-game playlist editor to choose when you want them to be played. A selection of free stockalike tracks are included from musician Kevin MacLeod, who created many of the tracks used in stock KSP. Several thousand more tracks are available for free at his website here. If you find any that work well with KSP, leave a message and I'll add it to a future sound pack. A replacement for the Kerbal Space Centre birdsong ambience is also included, edited from the original recording here. Currently .wav and .ogg filetypes are supported, as well as .mp3 on Windows (still working on a fix for Linux and Mac, but .wav and .ogg work fine).

Vessel State: Use this to have a playlist played when a vessel has been destroyed (dead). Max Surface Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going above this speed as displayed in the navball's "Surface" mode. Min Surface Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going below this speed as displayed in the navball's "Surface" mode. Max Orbital Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going above this speed as displayed in the navball's "Orbit" mode.

The soundtrack outside of Kerbin's atmosphere gets old after a while, we all know that. What I've been trying to do is create a soundtrack of sorts for each planet's SOI (possibly excluding moons) just for me and whoever wants fitting music to listen to. The primary challenge I face is to compose unique, extended themes without having them be tiresome or repetitive. The lesser challenge is that my only musical software is Musescore, which means no mix tracks or smooth gradients of pitches. For instance I want Jool to have a grand brassy chorus in the key of C and Eve to have an orchestral section in the key of Bb. Even if the unique theme idea isn't entirely fitting, then at least the existing space theme could be slightly modified to add a fresh twist. I'm an amateur composer and I'm still learning how to be more patient with myself while making music. I attached something I made in around an hour or two of being creative. A musical doodle if you will. Does anyone have any ideas? Any composers I can connect with? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7se1Lc0vwwmMmpYZjhJbXpBTkk/view?usp=sharing

I have an interesting issue: The volume of one of soundtrack's song's is basically near muted while the other song is normal. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this?

As an adult, I was browsing my current favorite Samsung Gear VR content providers and came across a new favorite title. Coincidentally this major production used a soundtrack from KSP. I am pretty sure this does not fall under any fair-use policy; IS an iconic musical score from the Kerbal Space Program game; Used in its entirety for the duration of the production; Requires a subscription fee for access to said title. I have not played KSP in over a year, but immediately recognized the musical score. For the purposes of not advertising this or any other content provider and because of its adult nature I will refrain from directly linking or mentioning this content provider in this forum, however I thought it important to bring attention to the developers of this infringement. I will respond in detail to any direct inquiry from the developers. That said... WOW! I have a new favorite and an urge to install and fire up KSP again! I really am conflicted about wanting to share the media however! I just have no idea how that would be possible to do with age verification short of known developers.

Music Hack I made a short kRPC script that plays music based on in-game events and figured I'd share it here and maybe get some feedback. It's an alternative to Soundtrack Editor for people low on memory. It'll also be easier to add new music events for people who'd rather not dive into full-on add-on development. I've found this better than the "mute and play space music" strategy I was using earlier. Features As an external program, no impact on game memory usage Can play anything that VLC can play, such as Youtube URLs Can play dramatic music during docking or rendezvous a la Interstellar Play custom music while editing, above the atmosphere, at the space center, or at the tracking station, eg play the Normandy galaxy map theme at the tracking center Play main menu music Configurable via music.yaml Comes with stock music Requirements Python 2.7 or later LibVLC for Python (pip install python-vlc) - currently only supports 32 bit python kRPC (pip install krpc) PyYAML (pip install PyYAML) Downloads Github | Source Configuration Edit music.yaml Individual files or directories with music inside are allowed To disable music for a label, just delete all the bullets underneath it Backslashes must be doubled for Windows style paths Mute KSP music Usage Run the program (python music_hack.py or ./music_hack.py) and start the game, in whatever order Start kRPC server (or set to autostart) after loading a save Accept connection from KSP (or set KRPC server to auto-accept) Crashes of the music player only require a restart of the music player Limitations Can only distinguish the tracking center. The rest of the space center scenes all play music from the space center label. Doesn't come with stock tracking or main menu music (licensing limitations) Can't play KSP theme when the program launches Youtube playback depends on whether LibVLC has up-to-date Youtube capabilities. Space music continues after switch to space center till next scene change.
