It occurs to me that I may not be subscribed to SWTOR for certain periods of time, which means during those times, I will not have posting privileges at this forum. Therefore, I will be using another forum (also) for sharing my musical efforts. This thread regarding SWTOR music suites and my related musical efforts, including any related requests and discussions, will be held at this web site: http://unsc.galaxyverge.com/ , in particular, in this topic: http://unsc.galaxyverge.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66. Please check that location for updates to this topic. That forum is for another game community with which I am presently more involved. I apologize for the inconvenience of diverging this topic there, but I frankly do not have enough money to be indefinitely subscribed to SWTOR, and I don't want to be left stranded at the bus stop again. Thank you for understanding.

No prob, Durban. I'll have some more music later on.

I mostly just stick to my own thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=617504

Last week, I was tossing some life day orbs around just for fun, since I had them in my inventory from last year. I didn't even know Life Day was coming up again until I read this forum topic.

Here is the selection you requested from that YouTube video. ...edit: give me a little bit. OK. Was there anything in particular you wanted me to do with this music? -- 039D51E3_5496703C1BF6F6BD - .wav format 039D51E3_5496703C1BF6F6BD - .mp3 format -- I now have probably ~50,000 audio files from my Steam games, and most of that is from Star Wars games. As I thought, some longer durations of the selections SWTOR uses can be heard, but there are also similar excerpts used in other games. The most exciting collection I found so far is with Star Wars: Republic Commando. Some of these games, especially the older ones, have lesser audio sampling rates, which would be very noticeable in a suite including recordings at other sampling rates. I have some other ideas now besides suites, and suites contain a variety of musical themes. Instead of a suite, I could have a side-by-side collage of similar music tracks from different games. I could do this as a YouTube video. One example would be the closing Star Wars theme, which is an extended in duration compared to the opening theme. I would have some representative picture or gameplay footage from each game while the main theme as used in that game plays, each Star Wars game in sequence. Then again, come to think of it, that could actually be pointless. That calls for experimentation. I have been converting the audio files into proper .wav format, and some of it is very tricky, and I have had much help from third-party programs that convert between various file formats. Basically, I've been extracting the music files from various Star Wars games and fixing them up, often by hand using a hex editor. I've written my fair share of .bat batch files in this task of compiling all the Star Wars game music I can get my mouse cursor on. I still have to use Goldwave or some similar program like VGMStream to convert about 30,000 more audio files from their compressed format to a nice 'ol linear Pulse Code Module (PCM) "chunkify me, cap'n" RIFF-boxed format. Sounds like Captain Crunch, I mean, Captain Chunk, is Microsoft's favorite cereal. --- There are several hundred additional music tracks compared to those in the March 2013 version of SWTOR.

I'll look that up for you. --- I've obtained music from the games "Star Wars: Empire at War" and "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" (EAW and KOTOR) and I'm also getting music from "Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" and "Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast". I plan to at least reference these, which often use longer durations of the music than SWTOR does, so that I can come up with an idea of the extents to which the SWTOR music has been snipped from these and other Star Wars music recordings. SWTOR contains a lot of segments of full-length musical works, so I won't be able to put all the music back together into anything really convincing; however, I can still use the music from these other games to get an idea of what is not included in SWTOR's musical excerpts. I still intend to put pieces back together of the excerpts of shorter durations. I'll almost certainly be merely "compositing" another series of suites, though. The pleasant news is that these other games seem to have more descriptive file names for their music, so I can identify what was intended as a "sith theme" and a "republic theme", giving me more details about these kinds of things, like which music fits with which planet. Actually, I just bought the 2013 Star Wars pack through Steam. I already own four of those games, but now they'll be organized through Steam also, and I can check out all the Star Wars music from all these games also: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/25772/

This is challenging because of the fades and held notes at the end of most of the tracks. The sound files of shortest durations are fragments that can easily be assembled. There is at least one instance of obvious segmenting that I assembled earlier towards the end of the SWTOR Suite. I think the original recordings typically will need to be slightly modified when there are held notes at the end of sounds, otherwise it will seem like short themes transitioned by held notes and accents like "orchestral hits". I'll still need to do some arranging, but I'm piecing together the segments first and seeing what larger puzzle pieces I have then for the SWTOR symphonic puzzle. This will not include the cantina band music. Is the cantina band music sold as a compilation? If not, I'd like to include all of that -- maybe I can work up a Cantina Suite and some other concept suites I came up with while auditioning the audio files again.

Thanks again for your interest. As I mentioned, I am going through all the SWTOR music files and sorting them so I can basically put them all back together into a massive music track which will probably be around 3 hours in duration. Any pieces that don't fit in the puzzle will be arranged appropriately so that I can have an audio file that consists of all the music from SWTOR. I'm updating the music so that I use the current number of audio files in the game. If any were removed, I'll include those also. I will call the resulting music "SWTOR Symphony".

So here's the deal. I've been away for many months, and now I'm back for a time. My subscription ran out a few days before I wanted to update the music links, so now I'm resubscribed and am updating (and massively bumping) this topic. I found the selection you asked for, I put all the files back in place on the server in order to make all the music download links work again in this topic (I might change the links later)... and the selection you requested is: 9BB47CD7_AFA467E47A854AEB And here is your music loop of the first ~30 seconds, as requested! This one is a test with reverb at the very end of the loop. I used the Apple AUMatrixReverb in order to extend the last part of the segment over with a little reverb, then pasted the edited reverb over that part and adjusted its volume to 73%. You can hear how it sounds at the very end with the flutes. If you think it's too loud, I think so too, but it was a crescendo anyway. This sound is meant to be looped directly without pause. It's sort of an experimental version. I'll see about coming up with a version that doesn't use the reverb or uses a different reverb setting and is perhaps nicer. I also edited the beginning, and if you download the .wav file and open it in a sound editor, you should be able to see the markers I set up for the strings. I copy-pasted one of those in order to get the better articulation than was in the fade in at the start of the available sound file. Here is the new location where you can find all the SWTOR music I've done: http://www.blazingmusic.net/music/audio/lucas_arts/swtor/ These are the versions of the one you requested: http://www.blazingmusic.net/music/audio/lucas_arts/swtor/9BB47CD7_AFA467E47A854AEB/ Would you be interested in a 60-second loop? The whole sound clip should work well as a loop. I also did two 60-second versions, one with the ending and one without the ending. Right now, I have been reorganizing the music files I have as of March 10, 2013 and I'm organizing them such so that I can treat them like Humpty Dumpty and put them all back together again. Some of them are obviously edited (poorly) already, and I won't use those few, but I will use as many as I can and put together as many as I can in a manner perhaps close to what was originally recorded. It is evident in the variety of ambient audio environments that there were maybe 4 recording session "environments". After that magnum opus is galvanized, maybe I can also throw together some more thematic suites.

I did not know SWTOR published their own suites online. That is slightly misleading, firstly, because the music files in the game are in .ogg format, secondly, because those seem to be suites edited together using only a handful of the 1,140 .ogg music files in the game, and thirdly, because that link specifies that the music advertised there was composed for SWTOR rather than also used in other Star Wars venues. The game music files include music from other Star Wars venues also, such as the main title theme used with every Star Wars movie and game.

I recommend using Amadeus Pro as a medium-weight sound editor. I used it for these suites and it is the primary application used for all my sound editing since I bought it several months ago. There is a persistent bug with the multitrack editing causing it to crash if you get mildly ambitious like I do by moving samples around during playback, but all the other functionalities are really worth $60.

You are welcome.

Right-click or control-click the links and choose the menu item that downloads/saves them to your hard drive.

Now that the crashing memory leak is fixed, I would rather play SWTOR on my mac partition than on the bootcamp or emulated Vista 32-bit partition.

The opening of the romantic suite sounds similar to an italian aria played during the opening of the PBS video recording of Andrea Bocelli's "Statue of Liberty Concert". The compositional style of these romantic selections are inspired by that genre of music.

Is this the music that plays during the cutscene when your ship appears flying towards a planet, or is this music unique to the Imperial Fleet or the Imperial Agent leaving their ship while already docked in a hangar somewhere? If you could record a video of it, I can identify the music.

I'm just going to be updating the previous reply post with each version of EPIC BREAKDOWN. Synopsis Epic Breakdown is a massive inner-conflict machinima soundtrack and script, where Jedi Master Zent struggles with the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and the loss of his wife, Jedi Knight Ima. The turmoil from the juxtaposition of his unbelievably strong propensity for the Force and his grief ends up driving him to madness. It is no longer Republic or Empire or Sith that he identifies, but the Universe becomes just a swirling mass of chaos as he can no longer distinguish between his Force visions and reality, or between what is past, present, and future. His understanding of the nature of Existence and Reality leads to his insanity, and what he brings out of his heart regarding his wife Ima leads to his demise.

I'm working on EPIC BREAKDOWN. This is an edited suite that also comes with a machinima script. I'll be posting updated versions here in this post as I develop them. Soundtrack In Progress: http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/EPIC_BREAKDOWN_v1.mp3 Script In Progress: Epic Breakdown by SilentWave INT. NAR SHADAA CANTINA - CROWDED BAR - NIGHT JEDI MASTER ZENT stands at the bar, ordering a flask while jovially talking with the bartender. Several patrons dance in the background. Everyone is enjoying the company and music. *MUSIC START* The BARTENDER plops a large mug of ale in front of Zent. BARTENDER Is there anything elses I can gets yous? JEDI MASTER ZENT It's a fine night, isn't it? Friendly ale and a mug of people… Zent sips the beer and wipes mouth with back of his hand. The Bartender chuckles a little at the joke while wiping a cloth over the spot on the table where the mug stood. JEDI MASTER ZENT (pausing to look around a moment, then smiling at the bartender) I don't think it could get much better than this. BARTENDER Yeah! I knows what you means -- 0:14 Zent suddenly ducks under the bar. 0:16 EXPLODING WALL. The doorway explodes. SCREAMS. A menacing presence of SITH LORD RHO stands in the large hole. 0:18 LIGHTSABER OPEN. His DOUBLE-BLADED PURPLE LIGHTSABER opens as he glares at Zent. 0:19 BARTENDER (O.S.) (hiding behind bar table, yelling over all the commotion) But its can gets much worse! 0:21 Jedi Master Zent rises quickly to face the sith. 0:22 LIGHTSABER OPEN. He wields his GREEN LIGHTSABER. 0:23 LIGHTSABER OPEN. He has a second WHITE LIGHTSABER. 0:24 Zent charges at the sith. 0:25 SITH LORD RHO vanishes, now invisible. EXT. NAR SHADAA - ZENT'S APARTMENT - BALCONY 0:26 (crossfade to this scene) Jedi Master Zent stands on his apartment's balcony. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) (gazing apprehensively into the distance) Same dream. …vision. (sorrowfully rests his forehead in his hand and sighs) It can't be. (looks back up, determined) I refuse to believe this will happen. 0:40 Jedi Master Zent sits down, deciding to meditate. JEDI MASTER ZENT Is this really what I fear? I will not let this happen. (hangs head in defeat) …I can't do this anymore... 0:54 Zent thinks back to what happened on Coruscant INT. CORUSCANT - JEDI TEMPLE RUINS JEDI KNIGHT IMA, Zent's wife, stands over ZENT as he sits on the floor, weeping over the ruins of the temple. JEDI KNIGHT IMA (O.S.) 1:12 Zenty? Zent does not reply, so Ima just sits next to him on a stone of rubble. (puts her hand on his shoulder) 1:23 You're going to be O.K. 1:28 ZENT (looks up at Ima) Sit with me. 1:32 Ima cries. 1:37 IMA (looking at Zent) Don't be afraid; I'm here with you. 1:57 ZENT I'm so angry. 2:04 IMA (getting up, offering her hand to help Zent up) Come on, let's go. EXT. NAR SHADAA - ZENT'S APARTMENT - BALCONY - NIGHT 2:12 ZENT sits with head hung in sorrow, then looks up, gazing at the memory. 2:30 Zent stands up, sensing a presence. 2:35 It's SITH LORD RHO from his dream, standing there in his balcony doorway. 2:38 JEDI MASTER ZENT You… who are you? 2:45 Rho pulls back their hood. It's IMA! (shocked) Ima! What? …what happened to you? 2: 52 SITH LORD RHO I've tried to find you. And now here you are. 2:55 But where am I? Rho vanishes again. 3:00 JEDI MASTER ZENT (angry) Wha--? A dream? Again? (holds head in hands) 3:10 What is happening to me! 3:13 Zent rushes back into his apartment, angrily force-pushing the doors open. 3:21 He heads to his ship. [various camera scenes along the way as he runs to the ship airlock] 3:50 Zent sets a course for the Jedi home world, Tython. INT. JEDI MASTER ZENT'S SPACESHIP - MAP ROOM JEDI MASTER ZENT (exhaused) (V.O.) I've been away too long. (SPOKEN) I'll be there soon… [fade from stars to beautiful ambience, as a dream] 4:13 On his trip back to Tython, Zent dreams of his visions, and of Ima. 5:00 JEDI KNIGHT IMA (V.O.) I'll always be with you. 5:16 CUT TO: EPIC BREAKDOWN STAR WARS INTRO PLOT TEXT (Text rolls.) EXT. SPACE - REPUBLIC FLEET AT TYTHON 6:03 (plot text with starry background fades, camera pan to this scene) JEDI MASTER ZENT's spaceship arrives at Tython. INT. TYTHON - JEDI COUNCIL BUILDING and EXT. TYTHON - JEDI TRAINING GROUNDS - DAYTIME 6:21 JEDI MASTER ZENT exits his spaceship, walks to the Jedi council building entrance and gazes out from that vantage point at the activity on Tython. He is encouraged by the sight of so many people there. Most are padawans training in the Force. 8:27 He walks back inside and heads to the Jedi council chambers. INT. TYTHON - JEDI COUNCIL CHAMBERS - DOORWAY 8:36 JEDI MASTER ZENT stands before the council chambers door. It stands closed in front of him. 8:38 DOOR OPEN. The doors to the council chambers open suddenly. Zent looks up in surprise. COUNCILMAN ZEKE stands before him in the doorway. COUNCILMAN ZEKE Master Zent. I felt your presence. JEDI MASTER ZENT (overwhelmed and exhausted) Zeke… don't call me "master". I need your help, I think I'm going crazy. Tears well up in Zent's eyes. COUNCILMAN ZEKE (waving Zent inside) Please come inside. The door closes behind Zent as he steps into the Jedi council chambers. Trying to dismiss his problems out of mind, Zent cracks a joke. INT. TYTHON - JEDI COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CONTINUOUS JEDI MASTER ZENT (sitting down in a seat) Any luck with that closed-door policy? COUNCILMAN ZEKE (pausing to consider his words) For better or worse, rules don't change very often around here. Zeke waits for Zent to say something, but he doesn't. He sits down next to Zent. COUNCILMAN ZEKE (looking down at the table) You are very troubled. (looking at Zent) We all grieve with you at the loss of Ima. Tears well up in Zents eyes again at the mention of his dead wife's name. JEDI MASTER ZENT Thank you. COUNCILMAN ZEKE (looking down at the table again) I really don't know what to say… Well, why are you here then? The reclusive lifestyle on Nar Shadaa doesn't … appeal to you anymore? JEDI MASTER ZENT (noting Zeke's careful choice of words) Still an expert at the language, eh? COUNCILMAN ZEKE (laughing) Well, don't expect me to break out into song. My poetry is not up to par anymore. I thought you found some sort of happiness or peace living by yourself now. Isn't that what you wanted? That's what you expected. Zent's expression turns very dark and serious. Zeke gives him a worried and intent look. JEDI MASTER ZENT It was that way for a while. I have visions. COUNCILMAN ZEKE OK… JEDI MASTER ZENT I can't… the dreams and visions, they're too much to deal with now. I SEE things that I shouldn't be seeing. I'm not confused or anything. I know what they mean and why I'm having them. I just… can't… deal with it. I can feel myself slowly going crazy and I don't want to become a monster. The silence is tangible. COUNCILMAN ZEKE It's the Force, isn't it? Do you know what is going on? Why this has been happening? JEDI MASTER ZENT I have a special… relationship. I don't think it's something either of us would want to discuss right now, it's very… personal. And even though it would bring me much joy to talk about him, nobody can really understand, and furthermore, I can't even really trust anyone. Councilman Zeke frowns in understanding and looks back down at the table. The two men, both Jedi masters in the Force, sit there in the silence with grief in their hearts. COUNCILMAN ZEKE It's days like these when I just end up sleeping for weeks on end. Sometimes I wish I had left for Nar Shadaa with you, even Tatooine. But you really can't run from these things. Remember from your training: you have to seek the truth of every situation. You learned that as a consular. You have to think about the 'why' and then decide how you will respond in this situation. JEDI MASTER ZENT And where does that leave me? COUNCILMAN ZEKE Speaking of leaving, I think I've run out of things to say that could help you, at least from my own thoughts. The path you are on, you are on for a reason, and believe it or not, it is the best path for you to be on at this time. And that path will lead you to another, and that to another, and so on. It has been like this, and this is how it is in life. Years ago, when you were on an earlier point of this path, you even pointed this out to me, that one thought leads to another. Take care with what you say and do. You are still growing in the Force, and with great responsibility lies great consequences. It is for this reason that you must remember the Jedi Code. JEDI MASTER ZENT I think about it day and night; you have no idea. COUNCILMAN ZEKE (getting up) I'm gonna go now. Good luck, and let me know if I can help you with anything. Zeke pauses, as if to say something else, or perhaps change the tone with a joke, but just turns and leaves. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) (looking around after the door closes behind Zeke) Nice we could use this area. The council is not in session. JEDI MASTER ZENT (getting up, suddenly frustrated) …conversations really piss me off. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) (shaking head in disgust) And here I am talking to myself! (massaging forehead with hand, sighing) Man, I need a break. I know, I'll go for a walk, get some nice, fresh, Tythonian air. Zent leaves the council chambers. EXT. TYTHON - JEDI TEMPLE GROUNDS - AFTERNOON JEDI MASTER ZENT walks outside the building and heads to the speeder pad. But changing his mind, he instead heads to walk on a dirt path through the woods. We see Jedi padawans in training on the compound with the Force: lifting objects, throwing objects, meditating, and so on. Zent leaves the compound area and jogs along the path. EXT. TYTHON - FLESH RAIDER TERRITORY - CONTINUOUS JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) I never liked jogging. Oh well… JEDI MASTER ZENT looks expectantly ahead: he senses non-human beings in the forests. JEDI MASTER ZENT (stopping, surprised) What? (hiding behind a tree) Flesh raiders! JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) Tython must be having problems… or entertaining guests? I'll find out soon enough. JEDI MASTER ZENT (walking towards the flesh raiders) Hello! The flesh raiders start shooting at Zent without warning. Zent whips out his GREEN LIGHTSABER and runs back behind the tree. COUNCILMAN ZEKE (V.O.) Oh, and stay away from the woods… what, I didn't warn you? JEDI MASTER ZENT (catching his breath) Sith spit! Zent comes back out from behind the tree and throws a large boulder at his attackers. He charges at the others and pushes them back. Suddenly, the fight is over and he is alone. JEDI MASTER ZENT (in great distress) I have gone too far. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) Maybe they are still alive? Zent walks over to each flesh raider in turn, starting with the one at which he threw the boulder, and looks at each one to check if it is still alive. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) These were intelligent beings, yet they acted like cruel animals. I will go to them and help them. EXT. TYTHON - JEDI TEMPLE GROUNDS - EVENING As JEDI MASTER ZENT approaches the Jedi temple grounds in the evening, a few exhausted padawans are still in training, but most have departed for the day. He walks up to each student and group of students and says, "Come, all of you, I have something important to explain to you." He brings them to the steps of the Jedi temple. JEDI MASTER ZENT (V.O.) Handle this for me, please. JEDI MASTER ZENT (sitting on the Jedi temple steps and gesturing to the ground in front) Sit here quietly and consider carefully what I have to say. The several padawans sit on the pavement before the steps to listen to what Zent has to tell them. JEDI MASTER ZENT A man walked into the forest and encountered three flesh raiders. He greeted them, but they attacked him. That man was me when I went into the forest today. You are all exhausted from your training today. What were you training in, baking bread? Was it mechanics or engineering or the sciences? It was the Force you have been studying. Yet if I were to ask you what the Force is, would you be able to explain it as a baker explains the process of baking bread? I will tell you what the Force is and you will learn now about Life and Reality and about Truth. But you must honestly consider what I tell you in order to gain understanding. Listen and understand. The Force which you have been studying is merely an extension of the will. It is a tool like an oven is a tool to bake bread and a hammer is a tool to shape metal. Ask yourself honestly so that you can judge for yourself what is right: is there really a Light Side or a Dark Side of the Force? What is the difference between good and evil? Do not these things come from the heart? You have been studying ways in which you can manipulate objects of the physical realm, but you must in your heart ponder what is more important than the physical realm: Kindness, Justice, Righteousness, Truth, and all things good. Wisdom will testify that these are more important than dirt, stone, bread, metal, and all other things of the earth, yet you have not trained yet in anything besides the manipulation of these things. And in all honesty you will come to understand, through considering the difference between good and evil, things that are more useful to you than dirt, stone, bread and metal. For I tell you the truth of the matter: every human life is more than flesh and bone, but each person also has a soul, a spirit. The heart of a person is what must be considered in True Justice, not the body or flesh or desires of the body or flesh. If we only think about the flesh and our own will and desire, we become selfish and cruel like the flesh raiders I encountered in the forest today. They became animals from what they stored in their heart and brought out of it: evil. For it is only Just to do good, not evil, to save life, not destroy it. Is this not the difference between what has been called the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force? Yet the Force, an extension of the will, is like stone and bread, neither good nor bad. But in honest consideration, you will understand that the good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. And each person is recognized by their fruit, what they say and do. Therefore, this is what the Creator says: do not boast about wisdom, strength or riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight. That same Creator reveals himself not to the wise, but to those who are like little children before Him. Do not trust in man's wisdom, and do not have in mind the things of men, for what is highly valued by men is detestable in God's sight, but have in mind the things of God. God is the God of Truth and Life, and by understanding and knowing him, you will have eternal life, because God does not change, and God is the Spirit who gives Life. The body counts for nothing. We who know God know all this not by our own understanding or wisdom, but it has been revealed to us by God's Mouth who himself is the only Way to God, the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, and the living Life Himself. We all exist not apart from each other, and this is what we have perceived as the Force: that spiritual connection in Existence that we all would be able to recognize through recognizing Life whose name is Jesus Christ, for with God, all things and beings were created and exist and are possible. It is only through coming to know the God of Life that you will understand Life; it is only through coming to know the God of Truth and Existence that you will be able to understand the Truth of Existence. But we were not created to simply know: we exist, and the meaning of life is, to obey God who teaches us about himself and gives us commands to obey for our own well-being. Yet each of us looks to himself instead, for we are wayward and foolish. God's Word, God's Son, the Way, the Truth and the Life, is our Lord, our Righteousness and Salvation. He came to teach us and to show us by his example that God is merciful and His Faithful Loving Kindness endures forever. Repent, therefore, of your evil thoughts and deeds, and instead worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Speak to Jesus Christ, God's Son, and know him through the archival scriptures we have: for he spoke to us in the past, saying, "I have loved you with an Everlasting Love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful loving kindness, and you are mine." Truly, God said, "I the Lord do not change. Therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Return to me, and I will return to you. You have robbed me by your lack of mercy and honesty: love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Test me in this: bring your entire heart, mind, soul and strength to me, and see if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it. You have said harsh things to me, thinking that evildoers prosper and the wicked go unpunished. In my day of judgement, on the day when I act, those who serve me and obey my commands will be spared, as a Father spares the son who serves him, and they will be mine, and I will heal them. But the wicked will perish and be as nothing: not their beliefs nor anything from their hands will last, it will all be fuel for the fire, completely destroyed. But my Salvation will last forever, my Righteousness endure for all generations. Then you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not." Trust in God and Jesus Christ alone, and you will find that this is what God teaches you about in life: what it means to trust Him. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess." Every knee will bow and tongue confess, and what is hidden will be made known before the Son of Man, the Son of God who is seated at the Right Hand of the Father Almighty who knows everything. Go now and learn what this means: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." God says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. I, even I, am he who comforts you." Go study the archives about the God of Israel, and you will gain understanding of reality. God alone is good. Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free from fear and from evil sin. For God is the Aurek and the Zerek, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Itsmymillertime requested the Jedi Consular's heroic music. I sampled it in-game and then redid my own edited version of it (superior to the original edit which almost seems like it used ramped fades for normalization, even though I am probably mistaking editing for strategic queuing, and as a result of this strategic queuing, it missed a beat between the first and second tracks) using these four files that the original Jedi Consular heroic music uses: 7EF939C0_78B15A4F4BE94C56 1872A8AD_A11FB90028D01D56 6FB67409_DF6BF9440F28D78D 34634FAC_AC0D0ADBCF5FDDF3 These are very short clips, only :31, :06, :05 and :22. I think the timed combat music uses these short clips so that it can end around the same time that the game event finishes. Here is the in-game sampled version from my level 50 Jedi Consular. I apologize for the cut outs which occurred when I hovered the mouse over the game's user interface elements.

OK! The SWTOR Romantic Suite is completed -- see the previous post for links. That concludes the main compositation of suites (hey, after all that work, I should be allowed to coin some words too!), and the secondary suites would be the aforementioned Republic, Imperial, Old Republic and Sith suites which I have yet to ... compositate.

And it just so happens that they align nicely when precisely sequential, which tells me that the sound editors probably split these two apart at that one point in the sound file and just added a fade-out to the first and a fade-in to the second. In the lighthearted suite, I interpreted the second selection as being in 6/8 or 12/8 time with the triplet feel, not realizing at that point that it was in 4/4 time with a triplet feel. I called the above track "Three Feel in Four Combo". I'm organizing this suite more than the others. To keep from extreme boredom or monotony or dullness or, case-in-point, repetition, the sequence is organized in this way: interludinal (coined adjective from "interlude") discoursing transition melodic (aside from "discoursing") slowmotion building special (random melodic) So you have each selection organized by starting and ending pitch and key and process design gesture based upon such terms, and this should keep it listenable over what will likely span almost 40 minutes in duration. And it's done! This one took me about 6 1/2 hours straight, from about 7 AM this morning until 1:20 PM presently. It's uploading, so I'll reply here to bump the topic when it's done uploading. There are some messy transitions around 8:27 which I did not add, but which came already edited inside the music selection as a single sound file. There is another gross one at 12:22 that I seriously would never have done. (Whoever did those original edits probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.)

Xaldynn, about inspiration related to the music of Star Wars, it is well-known in the music world that John Williams music is greatly inspired... inspired by Brahms, Hindemith, Bach... you get the picture: any score he can get his hands on. I consider John Williams to be a cut-and-paste compositional arranger for this reason. One such example, are you familiar with the cantina band music from Star Wars episode 4, from when Han Solo walks into the cantina and we hear that music for the first time? That exact melody, but played slower and more emotionally, is the third clarinet solo to a Brahms piano concert. One of my clarinet-playing friends was singing that solo part to me, reciting it from his part in a Brahms piano concerto he was playing it in, and right when I heard it, I honestly said right there to his face, laughing, "John Williams, you son of *$*#*, you did it again!" And when I told him it was the cantina band music to Star Wars, he just looked at me puzzled for a moment; I was even more astonished he gave me that confused look... maybe he was just speechless? Anyway, I've told you how I feel about John Williams and all "his" music, and I tell ya, if you could recognize the source of every song and melody and line he uses, you would have quite the vengeance and would no longer be able to appreciate anything by his pen. I'm just saying to be honest about this. And don't even bother thinking I'm being libelous, because this is well-known among musicians already, so it's not like I'm lying or being dishonest, just letting you know a blurb about how I feel when I deal with his compositions. His writing style here also has this cut-and-paste feel, which builds it like an emotional roller-coaster. It's nothing like the original works by Strauss or Brahms, which have a more composed-out process design to them. So here, I'm using these cut-and-paste selections and re-compositing them so they have a sort of process design to them, of sorts. What I'm doing is like what you see criminals do in movies, taking letters they cut out of magazines and pasting them onto a piece of paper into words and sentences. So John Williams cut out the letters and I'm reassembling them into words, but the sentences have botched grammar. It is akin to that, where the suites don't have the smooth composed-out dynamic that the original works by Strauss or Brahms had. By the way, I mention Strauss because the Krypton theme is strongly inspired by the main theme from Thus Spake Zarathustra, as is evident in this little side-by-side I threw together a few years ago that I dubbed "Thus Sprach Superman": http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/Thus%20Sprach%20Superman.mp3 I didn't throw together a side-by-side of the third clarinet solo of the Brahms piano concerto and the cantina band music, but I suppose I could... EDIT: ...if Brahms had actually written a third clarinet part for his two piano concerti. I'm guessing my friend was talking about the Brahms piano concerto #1, second movement: Adagio. There are lots of similar lines there, but upon examination of both clarinet parts, I could not find the segment he sang to me. Ah, well, I'll have to ask him about that some time.

DurbanPoison -- Feel free to use these suites in whatever SWTOR machinimas or videos you like. I would typically suggest that if the videos are shorter, you clip the audio file to start somewhere in the middle instead of ending in the middle of it, so that the endings remain intact while you start from a different starting point in the audio than the beginning. I think it's better to start in the middle and end in the middle, or start in the middle and end at the end, rather than start at the start and end in the middle. Again, I'm able to do the music for machinimas if you give me the information I mentioned earlier in this topic about what I would need to do that. Thanks in advance for giving me credit for the arrangement of the SWTOR music, and it's your option if you would like to link to this topic so other people can find these suites for their SWTOR videos too. Melanchior -- I am very familiar with that selection from the SWTOR music. Would you like me to include a link to that specific individual segment? It is not included in any suite yet, and I did not have it planned to be queued for any particular suite. I had actually listened closely and even audio recorded directly from the game's starting screen so I could figure out the next few tracks that the game's starting menu playlist used and could replicate that for my own redo of the game's starting menu playlist, but I stopped after the next three tracks, so I only identified the first five tracks from SWTOR's starting menu. The particular one you like has this ID, in case you were curious, and here is a link to it (I already had it sitting in a folder, ready to arrange into a starting menu playlist redo, but I lost interest in doing that arrangement redo): 32D4D863_F5502E78140CF43E That won't mean anything to you, but here are two formats of that sound you can use: MP3 (1.4 MB): http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/32D4D863_F5502E78140CF43E.mp3 WAV (12.7 MB): http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/32D4D863_F5502E78140CF43E.wav As a general course, I am not entitled to provide individual game files, but since you seem so keen on this one and it would not have been involved in any suites, there you have it. I did not include it because it does not appeal to my tastes and it does not fit within any concepts aside from the starting music redo. Xaldynn -- If you are willing to imagine a storyline to the Emotional Suite, then you will understand my warning. I provided an overall storyline for it as a legend of Anakin and Padme which tells how their ordeal might have been passed down through oral history. You can imagine more details to this and certainly find it much more engaging than the SWTOR Music Suite and the Lighthearted Suite. I plan to do the Romantic Suite presently and may have it available tonight. I could still do a better job with the sound editing step. Whether or not I do remains to be seen.

Maybe that melody is more "romantic" than "emotional" or "lighthearted", so it would be in the Romantic Suite instead of those other two. Are you certain the music is included with SWTOR? Also, the piece at 3:08 continues through 3:30, I didn't edit that section. And if you're wondering where John Williams quoted that melody from, it's Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings".

Anakin finally *snaps* at 21:50. Warning: This suite is not for the feint of heart! You have been warned. I will not be held responsible if you do not ever want to have anything to do with Star Wars (or SWTOR for that matter) ever again! I'm serious. SWTOR Emotional Suite: MP3 (34.2 MB): http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/swtor_suite_emotional.mp3 WAV (316.7 MB): http://www.blazingmusic.net/media/public/swtor_music/swtor_suite_emotional.wav I don't think I have the guts to put together the Romantic Suite after doing this one. $&*#. /self fall on I'm not actually wanting to post the list of soundtracks here, because I don't want BioWare putting anything like this into the game. Maybe you should not be too eager to listen to this one. By the way, during his grieving, he thinks he sees her, only to find that he is imagining things... and that he is losing his sanity.
