Music in "Art of War" and "Res Publica" - Where is Andreas Waldetoft!?

[Sengoku_GMM]

I have been a great fan of music by Andreas Waldetoft, ever since I happened to play HoI2. I really love his tastes.
Even though I don’t have so much time for playing games as I really wish, it is still worth to buy Paradox games just to get his music.

For me, it was a bit disappointing to know that the music that followed with "Art of War" and "Res Publica" was not composed by him.
I'm not quite sure, but I guess the composer is somebody else, because the music does not capture my heart at all. It is just boring.
Unzipped DLC files tell me that the "artist" is Skopje Sessions. I don't know what it is.

Unfortunately, it is actually painful for me to hear the newly added music.
I have turned off them and instead added Andreas Waldetoft's music from EU3, Rome and others to my EU4 to enjoy my game play.

So where is Andreas Waldetoft!? I really want him come back to EU4 and create new fantastic music to the game. I'm ready to pay for them!

Sincerely,

He is working on other paradox projects including HOI4 and Runemaster, from his august update: http://www.andreaswaldetoft.com/?p=664

Thanks. I really hope he compose new ones to EU4, too!

According to VGMdb the new music DLC is also composed by Andreas Waldetof. In addition the post in this thread says that he is working on 4 projects (I supose EU4,HoI4,CK2 and Runemaster):

I am hard at work on 4 different projects including Runemaster and Hearts of Iron 4 at the moment and the music is coming along nicely across the board.

I would be nice to get some qualification about the composer of the music.

I would like to play all the music except for the music from EU3 and EU2 they recycled and added into some of the DLC. Does anyone know how to disable that old music? I don't think it fits the game.

On the subject of music, does anybody know which music pack the annoying hard-rock-esque music comes from? Would like to turn it off.

why did you buy it if you dont like it?

Eh, I just saw another music pack and assumed it would be a fairly normal one. Didn't realise how different it would be from the others. Should have read closer.

They are, and I mean both are nice enough replacements but I can't wait to have him back on EUIV. Not just hard rock, but both seem a bit out of place for me.

I like Andreas, especially 'The Byzantine Empire', but Songs of War is good and adds diversity. I like how it sounds more like classical music than game music. Especially l'Autunno is great.

 

[h0tSteel]

I like the new Songs of War DLC (but dislike the metal one)

btw, since the're making all those music DLC's it would be nice if they would also add some hotkeys for previous/next track.

 

[Tufto]

Songs of War is indeed excellent.

 

[D_Pawel]

Songs in older Paradox titles, like EU II (tracks from this game are part of Art of War and Res Publica songs packs) or Victoria I, was often a classical music compositions. Probably beacuse it was easiest and cheapest option for Paradox back then . So yeah, this "boring music" are often classical masterpieces from the era . But I agree, they may feel a bit off when play with Andreas Waldetoft's music.

Just adding another voice in favour of more Andreas Waldetoft music for EUIV - I also love all his compositions for this game (and CKII, EU:Rome, and EUIII), and would happily pay for more Renaissance/Reformation/early modern Europe themed music composed by him.
