Looking for a music mod


Recommended Posts

I've seen a few mods around that can replace the music KSP uses in the circumstances and situations KSP plays it in. For example, replacing a music that plays in space, or a music that plays in the VAB.

This is fine and all, but what I think would be more fun is a mod that has several more situations for different music. For example, instead of just "space" and "menu" and "vab", it could have several opportunities for several unique tracks for several situations. Imagine music for Tylo, Bop, Duna, Moho, Minmus, Kerbin, etc.

I'm hoping for this mod so I may return to attempting to make music, and perhaps creating fitting music for KSP's planets.

The information said here is enough, but I'll ramble further in this spoiler (to conserve space). If you want to see what I'm imagining, or clarification on what I want, then go into it and see.

Spoiler

What I would want from this is, from each planet, a "landed" situation, an "atmosphere" situation (or low and high), and a "space" situation (or low and high). As well as interplanetary space and escaped from the Sun. This opens up so many opportunities for giving each planet its own theme and character to it, and adding extra polish to make the game make you feel.

Imagine giving each planet a new and powerful personality for the music. Imagine Kerbin having a homely acoustic guitar theme while landed on Kerbin, or perhaps while flying through its atmosphere as well. Perhaps a mix of spacey theme and homely acoustic guitar as you venture into space low above Kerbin, and it slowly blends into the interplanetary theme as you escape from Kerbin's gravity.

Imagine Eve having a tense and suspenseful air to it, and its atmosphere having the most dramatic tune of the game, to emphasize just how much can go wrong, and just how hard it is to escape. Imagine your heart pounding from the intense music blaring as you attempt to climb into space back from Eve. Imagine the music played while landed at Eve a kind of "calm before the storm" type thing, to the point where it matches whatever theme Eve gets, but calmer and less heart-poundingly dramatic.

Imagine Laythe having a dramatic and powerful yet also warm tune, to emphasize just how big of a step this is, just how important it is to not screw things up, as well as just how much this resembles home.

Perhaps Dres could have a solemn and sad tune to it, to show just how lonely it is. Its character could be one of great sorrow, and players could return there just for the emotions that come with it.

Perhaps high and low space could be very different from one another. Perhaps it blends slowly into that planet's theme from the interplanetary tune as you go from high space to low space, and for atmosphereless planets,, low space would be the most dramatic and emotional.

Jool's "landed" theme could be something hilarious and immersion breaking, as you aren't really supposed to go there anyways.

I have such high hopes for the possibilities of this mod and it could cover what I think is missing most from KSP: the planets' respective character and emotions.
