Default Fantasy music in spirit of Guild Wars

Greetings, everybody!

I have composed orchestral soundtrack music in my home studio for quite some time and I thought it would be nice to offer the material to fellow Guild Wars gamers, who enjoy fantasy themed music. I'm quite sure these tunes would fit well to the general feel of Guild Wars, at least I find them enjoyable and fitting enhancement to the original soundtrack.

Notice: It is best to left-click these links to get the correct file name. Right-clicking and using "Save as" option offers standard play.php filename.

Battle

Burn Them Down
Fields of Tenerron
Red Fields
Straight Into Ambush

Dungeon

Where the Dead Lay
Cemetery
Gathering Dusk
In Mist Shrouded

Explore

Angel's Tear
Angel's Redemption
Jester's Tear
Crystal Cavern
Passing Twilight
Frozen Silence
New Dawn
Awakening
Mount St. Joseph

Public areas

Commemoration
Lament part 1
Lament part 2
Nightingale
Lucid Dream

If you like, you can also browse the projects for additional tunes, these were the ones that felt the most appropriate.

I like them, especially the battle ones. I like GW's original music but i think its lacks more dramatic tracks.

WOW.

What method of composing do you use? ( I'm pretty sure you use a PC programme...if those are live artists..you wouldn't give these songs for free )

Thanks guys! I'm glad to hear the soundscapes sound enjoyable and appropriate

Yanman: I use basically same tools as Jeremy Soule. Nowadays it is possible to build professional level home studio with just a 1000-2000 dollar investment in addition to the cost of normal PC. The main tool is software sequencer program with which you can record and mix audio/midi channels. I use Steinberg's Cubase SE. Then you have various software synthesizers and samplers + sound libraries for those. My main sampler is Tascam's GigaStudio and I have various libraries which I control through it, such as Garritan's Orchestral Strings, Project SAM brass / percussion and some demo material from Vienna Orchestral Library.

After that it's just a matter of recording the various tracks with normal MIDI-keyboard and mix the outcome into mp3.

Anyone know of sites or people with sites offering free music, full music, not samples, and not illegal either. I am constantly looking for good music. Even if it is not whole cds, still good. Thanks.

I'll be using these while I play Oblivion on my 360! They're awesome, I want to learn how to do this myself.
