What do you listen to when playing TEF?

gurgelin's picture
I'm curious... do you listen to music while playing TEF? If so, what do you listen to?

I'm mostly curious cause I wanna find some nice, non-intrusive music that works with the atmosphere of the game. ^^ So far I've been listening to some generic calm piano music that I found on Spotify. It really adds an extra dimension of relaxation, I think. <3 But I'm not really well-versed in this genre of music. Does anyone have any suggestions? Smiling

I don't really listen to

I don't really listen to music unless there's a weather change in-forest, like rain... I should probably try it more often. XD; But to me there's something wonderful about the atmosphere change and the rain in the background of the song(s).

For rain, I love listening to Sigur Rós (example) or any of their side-projects. I also love Clint Mansell (example).
The next time there is fog, I'm going to try Burial (example), I stumbled across them about a month ago and have been waiting for a weather change to try them out. :3

I tend to avoid listening to

I tend to avoid listening to music since it can create a bit of lag in-Forest.
But the sounds in Spyrre's bio can really add a lot to the Forest's sounds. If I click on it, I tend to leave it open for awhile just to listen.

Edit; Or, of course my favourite bands; Nightwish, Gothminister, Van Canto or Kamelot. :b

I tend to listen to music

I tend to listen to music that goes with the character I'm currently playing... if that makes any sense. But it's always something calming, with no lyrics.

Most of the time I just enjoy the chirping of the birds and such, however. Smiling

LMAO Sithrim! xD That's not

LMAO Sithrim! xD That's not exactly the kind of song I was thinking about, but actually, why not! That's sure to add a party mood! I love that song. x'3

Laruna: I feel a little stupid now, I know all of those artists but I hadn't really thought about using them for TEF! Shocked D'oh!

Flyleaf: I like the ingame sounds too! ^^ I keep the music very low so I can still hear the mooing. :')

Thanks for everyone's answers! I'm looking them all up Ooh

If you want something calm instrumental piano-y you could check these out:

Isaac Shepard
Akira Kosemura
Ólafur Arnalds
Michael Andrews
Whitetree
Silver Mercury - A Lonely Saturday Night
Aaandd obviously The TEF Tunes!

I listen to instrumental

I listen to instrumental music a lot. Particularly movie soundtracks. These are a few of my favorites, you should give them a listen if you get the chance.

-Arrival to Earth by Steve Jablonsky
-Mulan's Decision by Jerry Goldsmith
-Driving with the Top Down by Ramin Djawadi

I also listen to songs in other languages. The lyrics don't distract from the forest ambiance.

-Praan by Palbasha Siddique (Composed by Garry Schyman)

This is going to sound crazy

This is going to sound crazy but I like to listen to trance while I'm in forest. If I am, my deer is usually running around and/or dancing all over the place XD. Or I might try to start up a dance with other deer. I like Darude, Giuseppe Ottiavani, Armin Van Buuren...etc.

My (though not technically

My (though not technically mine) music depends of how I feel, what character I'm on, stuff like that. Now watch, as I name bands and songs that I like, and shall mock my own taste in music by commenting on them.

The Polyphonic Spree <----- You don't get more original than them XD
Matt & Kim <----- You can't get MORE intrusive music anywhere else
Aqualung <----- Because warbling is the key to success.
Prayer by Hayley Westenra <----- I won't complain about this song. It's perfection in a cup.
Man's Road by America <----- From the Last Unicorn. Of COURSE.
Apricot Stone by Eva Rivas <----- It's literally a song about an Apricot Stone.
Sweet People by Alyosha
Modest Mouse <----- Listening to drunken men singing is the best kind of singing
Lenka <----- Okay, I can only say that her some of songs sound normal. And that's what I hate about it.
Oren Lavie <----- Even total scruffbags can sing
Corner by Allie Moss <----- I swear that song is about Epon :S

I would bore everyone further but I think a list of 11 is long enough. My music is, personally, awesome. Fact.
Once {Epon} A Time.
