music that could fit in the Arcanum world

do you know any songs that could fit in the Arcanum world by lyrics, atmosphere or composition?
...post 'em here!

I think that the combination of folk and electronic music really fits the steampunk world of Arcanum!
keep spamming!

 

I'm not really sure how to say this without being offensive. Therefore, I'm simply going with the following:

No.
No, no, no...

(again, NO!!)

 

If this isn't the pure unadulterated essence of Arcanum, then I don't know what is.

 

You got a legit IRL laugh of out me there Jojo.

 

Well, I do try.

 

forget it, then...

 

I approve. Just not in Arcanum. It fits a different, less melancholic steampunk setting.
In fact, music performed on anything but a string instrument would probably feel off in the context of Arcanum.

Now, not necessaily fully obeying what I just said in the previous sentence, here are a few pieces of music that kinda remind me of Arcanum.

The Clockwork Quartet - The Watchmaker's Apprentice

The Clockwork Quartet - The Doctor's Wife

Machinarium OST - The Castle

Planescape Torment OST - Modron Cube

 

Red Army Choir
Some of the songs could fit in, especially in dwarven setting. Singing switched with instrument.

 

Oh yeah, I used to love their albums.

They certainly sound like the quench life chorus.

 

That voice (not to mention the chorus) was too much for my headphones. Don't know if it's very 'Arcanum' but very nice none the less.

The same could be said about praetorian's contribution. While some of it's good (and quite steampunkish) I really don't see it in Arcanum.

 

It's simple really, I reckon;
If it's not made by a classical composer, with great experience and taste and ONLY a string quartet for the main themes, it's safe to say it's not "Arcanumy".

Ben Houge's work is amazing.
On that note; cool video of a live performance of Arcanum OST:

Nice find with the youtube video Jwrac, some very good stuff.

 

Thanks, found it on Ben Houge's sub-site 'blog'...
(his website is old and weird, but it's still able to be navigated)
Those musicians actually have quite a few performances that were recorded.

 

I made a separate topic about this but it fits the topic.

Here's a pretty good one. Made me think of Arcanum when I first heard it.

Enjoy.

 

I think whatever it is it needs to be pure instrument and have some violins.

@Ring lord
That seems the closest fit of them. It seems, I dunno, a bit more up beat the Arcanum normally is, but I hear recognizable Arcanum-y sounds in it.

 

Well, it aint string quartet, but it occurred to me that purcell's, Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary would gel with arcanum.

I particularly like the procession/recession movements, and I think they would suit Qintarra and the death of the Silver Lady.

 

I'll check it out, sounds intriguing
