      What's the name of the track(s) that play on dark planets where the "sun never rises"? I can't seem to find them in the OST, and I totally dig the music. Is it part of the OST one can get or has it not been implemented into the OST as of yet?

        Not sure-- honestly I started replaying the game and haven't gotten to those worlds yet! (I deliver music to Chucklefish and they use it in the game as they see fit, so I don't always know where they've put it).

        Maybe try the forums to ask other users?

        If I get there soon, I'll let you know! :)

        Ah, thank you! I'll see if I can get a rip of the music and see if anyone recognises it! :)

      So, I bought the Starbound OST on steam before it was available on Humble Bundle, but it wasn't availible in FLAC on steam, yet IIRC it is on Humble. Are there any plans on updating the Steam OST or giving out some kind of purchase keys or something for the Humble soundtrack for people who've bought it on steam? It's a bit unfair to make people pay for the same product twice. :/

        Regarding an uncompressed version: I have these files, but many were created long before SB came out (as in, years before as I was brought on to the project quite early), so I am working on creating a version that has 24/48 uncompressed for *everything*.

        No ETA on that, as I'm swamped with new games and have a *ton* of technical issues given that so many of the files were created with previous versions of my VSTs/DAW/other software

        TL;DR I would like a true FLAC version made from my original masters at some point but its a long way off, if ever, and anyone selling a FLAC version is selling something identical to the MP3 version as they would have had to convert the MP3's, not my masters.

      When i play Starbound without the music i cry.

      Not because it's silent but because I'm not hearing the insanely good soundtrack.

      Thank you for your excellent work in this game. It is a big part of what separates this game from the rest, and harkens back to the golden age of video games, when music mattered.

      All of your work is incredible, especially Large Magellanic Cloud, which to me invokes emotion and thought. Its just a really amazing piece of music, thank you.

      Hi Curtis. I really love the music you did for Starbound an i would like to learn to play "large magellanic cloud" on the piano.
      I was wondering if you have the song in midi format that i could use to learn it?

      Hi Curtis. On the Apex stream you mentioned you would announce it on Twitter, if you stream on justin.tv
      Well, I can't find your Twitter account :3
      I'd really love to see some more stuff.
      The soundtrack is really amazing. Especially "On The Beach At Night"
      Gives me goosebumps, every time :)

        We're mostly holding off on the soundtrack for now, but we're going to be updating the humble soundtrack, etc. here in a bit. RIght now 100% of devs attention is getting the game out for the community to play! :)

      Just received the complementary soundtrack for preordering. As a student composer and musician, I can say that this is top-notch rep for not just an indie game, but any game or media.

      Fantastic work.

      For "I Was the Sun", what instruments did you choose? Its all so good! :)

        Mostly banjo, but there are some col legno strings in there as well, and guitar/drums/etc.

        Thanks for the kind words!

      Did you finish the "Starbound - A new cue" music from your livestream yet? I love that track.
      1. Curtis Schweitzer
        Curtis Schweitzer
        Not sure which one that you're referring too, but probably! I think I've finished everything I've streamed. We're working to get the new tracks updated on the OST, as well!

        Thanks for your kind words!

        Ah! I never actually finished that particular cue. I had some trouble with it. I might revisit it in the future, after the cues for each race are finished.

      Question, if you've added more to the soundtrack, would I have to redownload the whole soundtrack in order to get at it?
      1. Curtis Schweitzer
        Curtis Schweitzer
        Don't know. We'll make it available once I have enough to make it worthwhile to download/update.

      Your music is truly amazing, i just bought the game, and i'm listening to Altair and WOW, it's so soothing and moving.
      Great work on the music man XD

      There should be a scary soundtrack in Starbound... For a Dark Planet, or a Abandoned Space Station Dungeon, as the Mass Effect 3 ones, are tracks we can "feel" and hugely complete the game experience.

      You're not using a real orchestra, are you? Sounds damn close. :P

      I've started to listen to the basic Soundtrack, and I am enjoying it very much. I shall listen to the Experimental soundtrack soon. Only music of very high quality can please a Wizard, and you have succeeded in doing so.

      I had to get rid of a ton of tracks on my Ipod just to download all of your tracks Curtis. And you know what? It was absolutely worth it! ^.^ Keep up the great work! Your music is honestly some of the best I've heard in a long while, and I couldn't even believe that the songs were for a video game when I first heard them. Amazing job!

      Your works are absolutely brilliant. I love every single song that you've done for the soundtrack, and I hope you work on many other great games some day.

        I'm really glad that it speaks to you. If there is one thing that I would really like my work to do, its impact and affect the people who listen to it. Thanks for letting me know that this track accomplishes its mission. I really appreciate it, and I'm very happy that you enjoy it so much!

        It's going to have an amazing effect on the emotional side of the game. I always become extremely attached to games and I just know that you're the reason I'm going to start crying randomly while camped among the stars.
