Jeremy Soule and Dragonborn.

Post » Sat Jun 15, 2013 5:01 am

Jeremy Soule is honestly such a fantastic composer!

I'm so glad Bethesda did a whole new soundtrack for the Dragonborn DLC, because i am absolutely infatuated with the new exploration tracks for Solstheim, i even have them on my I Pod :P

I think that music plays a big part in the whole TES 'experience', at least for me. Exploring wouldn't be the same without this music imo. I know Jeremy has done lots of game soundtracks, but i think he really created something extraordinary with the dragonborn dlc's music.

Just showing my appreciation for a great composer! :)

I'll be the first to 2nd this, I love Skyrims soundtrack, especially Sovngarde. Do you know if he ever released the track from the Dragonborn trailer? It sounded like a mashup mix of other tracks from Skyrim but it was good. As for the Solstheim tracks, aren't they just Morrowind music?

Not sure about the trailer music.

You are right, they did use some of the Morrowind tracks. He also created some new ones though, which is very generous! Here's one of the new ones for your ears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S_iM5M8gQQ&NR=1&feature=endscreen :thumbsup:

Agree 100% :rock:
Jeremy Soule is a 'god'...
I've been completely spellbound by his compositions since Oblivion in ~2006.
Apparently he had the equivalent of a University music degree when he was in Grade 6.
A true prodigy, and immense natural talent - his brother too, who collaborates with him.
Excellent post! :smile: (because you're reading my mind bro, heheh...)

someone did an OK job of removing Max von Sydow talking (somewhat of a sin ha) so you can hear the music better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kbYCfLjhuE

I know that track you linked well as with all Skyrims soundtrack...I'm subconsciously learning the dragon tongue from hearing Sovngarde so many times :P

I have another fav music composer in games that's right along side Jeremy Soule on the top of my list and his name is Jesper Kyd, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FeRwqpL1xE is just plain epic and his best track imo.

Nice! not sure if it was Jeremy's decision alone, but i rally like the dragon language being chanted in a nordic way-sets the mood well!

I've only been to Sovngarde twice, stole an ox leg from the hall :P

Ah, jesper Kyd, he's also one of the greats! Slightly OT but, is Hitman any good? I've heard good things but never really picked up a copy... :turned:

Skyrim's soundtrack is almost better than the game itself *chuckles*.

ha same here on Sovngarde and stealing the ox leg...you forgot the ox head ;)

Well the older Hitmans suffer from poor mechanics with the controls but i'm a fan of every one of them. The newest one is nice and smooth with controls working correctly but it's missing that certain something from the older games. They're definitely worth a try if you like assassin/stealth games, they reward you for finding the most quiet way to complete the contract but you can run in guns blazing if you wish.
