COAT - Creepy Oblivion Ambient Tracks
Created by: Olurum
Version: 1.51

First off, it is highly recommended to use the following 'modification' in conjunction with this one (and any other dungeon music mod): No Battle Music Mod

The link above contains a trick to get rid of battle music flawlessly which results in making dungeons far more ambient.



Description
------------------
This mod provides 9 new tracks for your Dungeon music. They are very ambient in nature and aren't music at all. Lot's of ghostly noises and low rumbles.

Nearly everything you can hear, from the rumbles to the whaling noises, are all simply recordings of my own voice (before being heavily edited/distorted in Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). Also used were some freely available soundclips of church bells, heartbeats and children's laughter (the usual creepy stuff).

Please go easy on me when giving feedback. This has been my first ever attempt in music creation and I have no access to any fancy software besides Audacity (or I've yet to discover other good free programs).

I've mostly been inspired to do this after listening to the Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill 2 OSTs (especially noticable in the track named 'Ritual'), as well as video such as this NASA video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3fqE01YYWs


Interesting Stuff
------------------
You might find it interesting what you're actually listening to, so here's a breakdown of what the tracks consist of:

Track 1 - "Despair of the Dead": Just me breathing. :)
Track 2 - "Summoning": Me breathing and the sound of a glass being hit by the tip of my ink pen.
Track 3 - "Swarm": Only breathing
Track 4 - "Tension": Breathing again...
Track 5 - "Ritual": Breathing and stock sound of church bells. The entire bassy background rumble is a slowed down church bell.
Track 6 - "The Other Side": Me breathing and whistling, stock sounds of a girl laughing and a heartbeat.
Track 7 - "Prayer": Breathing (what a surprise!) and a stock sample of a gregorian chant set to the incredibly slowed sound of an air raid siren.
Track 8 - "Spirit of the Beast": Breathing and stock sounds of a lion.
Track 9 - "Into the Underworld": Breathing and a stock sound of a gong.

Simply delete the tracks from your "Oblivion/Data/Music/Dungeon" folder.


Programs Used

Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/


Legal
------------------
The usual... these are my creations with 99% made out of recordings of my own voice. I also used one or two royalty-free, free-to-download sound clips.

Please don't reupload this file to any sites as I barely get any downloads or ratings here to begin with. :)

If you would like this to be part of your mod or something, then please arrange it so that any users get directed here to download these files.
