How To Improve Salem's Music? (Also, Poll)

[hamai]

Would be interesting to have some historically accurate instrumental pieces, along with the fantasy thing

I googled 'plymouth colony music' and this is the first result I got:

Music universities must have some studies on the subject, maybe searcching those repositories of papers would help

[Yes]

I'm completely more of a fan of stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q4sclrHTtg (King Henry VIII - Pastime with good company)
I'll add more links to this post.

I usually play this on a loop when i'm grinding mats or scouting/mapping on alts i personally think it suits Salem perfectly.

Kevin Macleod is, from a music production standpoint, a god.

I agree, I always used his music in my videos - most of what I have downloaded from him I just stick in playlists to enjoy myself. No one can resist the SUNFLOWERS: http://youtu.be/WgmydW-f8YI

Am I the only one who likes the silence of Salem? I feel like it encourages you to fill the silence yourself rather than does it for you. I just mean background music is nice, but it can also be numbing.

The lead developer of Mortal Moments would prefer to not use the music of Mr. Macleod due primarily to competition for my affection. Not a week goes by that a complaint isn't filed due to my time spent with "Kevin." Needless to say, GamerZakh's unofficial soundtrack has been discussed at length and we look into all manner of methods to enhance the gameplay experience (trying always to keep our personal feelings aside).

I don't think we want constant music, as pistolshrimp mentioned the silence can be a very nice thing. Some ambient noise though, like the water burbles by the river, maybe occassional and faint birdsong, might be nice. We anticipate more music in the future, so knowing what you guys like and would like to hear would help very much.
