Hello everyone,

The new Flatspace music pack is now released with a 20% launch discount.

This is the second pack of 9 new in-game music tracks to enhance Flatspace IIk. Like any in-game music for Flatspace, these will trigger at random when you enter a new sector.

The original Second Music Pack for Flatspace II was created in 2008, and included lots of game themes and tracks from the album Stupid
Computer Music, such as China Syndrome. Those tracks were catchy and energetic, like game title themes, so when working on this new pack I decided to compile music that inspired epic feelings of space exploration and excitement, so in the end Journey Through Fractional Space was the only track from that early pack that made it into this new set.

The nine tracks are:

Blue Nebula
This is a new remaster of a 2012 track that sets something of an epic scene.

Journey Through Fractional Space
Commissioned by a Flatspace II player, the brief was to create an action tune that crossed two existing tunes from the first game: Catacombs and Cobra. The full six minute version appears on the album Stupid Computer Music.

Pandora
Created in 2013 for the album Bites of Greatness, the idea for the track was to create a catchy piece of music reminiscent of game themes from the 8-bit era.

Rock-It 99
I wanted to emulate the feeling of race-game arcade music, and the result was this high energy track. Previously unpublished.

Sonus
This mysterious track is the opening track to part two of my 2018 release, A Walk in The Countryside. The eerie sound here is a perfect evocation of exploring a strange, new frontier, making it ideal for Flatspace.

Strange Angles
An odd time signature for an unusual piece of music inspired by a sculpture and composed for a 2019 album of ekphrastic music, Music of Poetic Objects. I had Philip Glass in the back of my mind while working on this.

The Dark Cliffs
I wanted to include some more expressive, naturalistic music in the pack and The Dark Cliffs is exactly that. The full track appears on my 2019 album, Tree of Keys.

The Glass Screen
This is an edit of the final track from my 2018 release, A Walk in The Countryside. The track is a strange blend of electronic game music and acoustic piano music. The full album track includes electronic vocals.

Trax
A high energy track from Bites of Greatness.
