Soundtrack & vocals

[bias12]

So I just wanted say how great I think the Stellaris soundtrack is.

I especially enjoy the tracks with Mia Stegmar singing and would be very open to more vocals in soundtracks for Stellaris and other paradox games in future. You just don't hear much singing in game soundtracks, and when in is done as well as has been here I think it really adds to the experience.

Thanks alot. I'll try to get Mia more work in the future in our soundtracks for sure. She has quite a lovely voice.
I'm not sure many people have noticed that we have a couple additional songs with lyrics in the Digital Soundtrack that came with Nova and Galaxy version.

Cheers!

I wouldn't mind some swing jazz. Because why not?

That is probably more appropriate for Hearts of Iron 4?

Jazz is never inappropriate.
Perhaps add Jazz Mode like in Leviathans?

Not to say the soundtrack isn't great, because it certainly is, but you know... Jazz.

Already the music in this game is fantastic! Your music is elevating my Stellaris experience by a multitude.

Have grown fond of the track "Deep Space Travels" and I find myself oftentimes pausing the game just to listen to it when it plays ingame. I mean... that have never happened to me before.
Well done to you and your team Sir!

 

[Ziffallo]

Truly an outstanding job!

My wife who doesn't much care for me spending all my time with Stellaris tolerates it because she really likes the soundtrack, so thank you!

 

[Narnyay]

where do i locate all the music so i can hear them all?

Right here:

Also there is a video from Paradox themselves which shows some of the orchestra playing:

Depends, if you have the Nova or Galaxy editions there is a soundtrack folder with mp3 and lossless flac files.
Otherwise the music is in the music folder in .ogg format.

Lovely woman, you can quote me on that.

 

[Kharnan]

Beautiful voice.

Since you have nova listed under your avatar,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris\soundtrack

Or
...Vicky 3...?

Anyone that is Nova backer, can you post the lyrics of the two Mia Stegmar soundtracks? Her voice has become an earworm for me in the last couple of days, and googling doesn't help either.

Distant Nebula and Faster Than Light

Distant Nebula and Faster Than Light

Here's the lyrics.

Faster Than Light:

Stars in the sky
Floating in darkness
Soon I will fly
Faster than Light

See through my eyes
Time standing down
Onward to space
Engines Stand By

Senseless of time
Nebula’s blurring
Lights flashing by
Worlds Unknown

Imminent approach
Sensors reacting
Anon I’m through
Faster Than Light

Suddenly stop
Readings come in
Nothing in sight
Sun glowing bright  

Stars in my view
Floating in darkness
Soon I’ll go through
Faster than Light

Distant Nebula:

|: Through this orb,
Sights of dreams
Shades of Space
Eternal Grace
Sense of Might
Blazing light
These new Worlds

Spheres combine and systems rise
Distant nebula in skies
Universe it peers,
these infinite frontiers

Take my hand and watch this light
Solar beams will cast the night
Remember when these stars align
Will we find our sign :|

There is one theme that seems to be inspired or at least reminds me of the Blade Runner ending theme.
I really love it, its fantastic.
For me music and sounds are an important part of the game experience and Stelaris did a fantastic job.

Fantastic job with the soundtrack by the way, it's the reason I bought the Nova edition. At the end of Luminescence, the voice reminds me a bit of one of the EU4 Songs of the New World -- or am I just imagining that?

I'm not sure many people have noticed that we have a couple additional songs with lyrics in the Digital Soundtrack that came with Nova and Galaxy version

I noticed the Mia Stegmar ones for sure; I'm transferring the soundtrack to my phone so I can listen to it for longer and see if I notice others.

EDIT: Wow, just had my phone grab all Andreas Waldetoft songs from my Steam folder and it added over a gig of data from CK2, EU4, DLC's, and Stellaris! I had no idea I had that much stored there

The music, the art, the UI (graphical and sound effect, not utility) are all absolutely and utterly ace in this game. The music especially. It totally sets the mood for the game and sometimes I play just to hear the sound of the soundtrack.

Andreas, thank you for posting the lyrics. Both songs with Mia's vocals are fantastic as well as "Deep Space Travels" and "In Search of Life". Glad I got the galaxy edition and hope you consider asking Mia Stegmar to return and make additional music DLC!
