The 'Post your ambient music thread'!

[furlean 1]

First off developers.. I would like to say that the DayZ mod is easily the mother of all mods and that I have never played a zombie mod with such detail and effort in such a long time. Now .. what has really caught my ears however is the ambient music and how it immerses so well within the post-apocalypic zombie environment! Whether its sneaking past a group of zombies or bandits, blasting your way to get indoors or looting corpses in the middle of the night - you'll always get that shiver down your spine when you hear the ambient music kicking in. Is it possible for the community to download these tracks or listen to them on Youtube?

Now, I know this sounds like a suggestion but while I do like the ambient music, I feel that something more could be added ... MORE AMBIENT MUSIC! I know that it may seem unimportant at the moment as you developers are working your butts off to fix more important issues and bugs in-game but would it be possible in the near future for more tracks to be added ingame? ... Cheers. ;)

Now, to everyone - I highly suggest you play the game with some sort of dark ambient music on as it will make the game more immersive and will even test how you cope with making decisions under the pressure of uncomfortable music. If you would like to share some of your favourite ambient tracks with other survivors and bandits so they may listen to them as they explore Chernarus under the cover of day or night, then please feel free to do so. I personally like to use youtuberepeat.com if you are streaming the track online or you can use a music player with a 'repeat track' option if you have saved it to your PC. Cheers and Happy Hunting. :D

Some of my favs:

Haha, I see I'm not the only AT fan here. :D

While those ones are great, in my opinion, nothing beats this one for sitting down at the top of a radio tower at midday and looking over the Zombie Infested landscape:

I'd like slightly more subtle sound, I think paranoia inducing ambience serves dayz best. I still find myself turning around when I hear that sound of something hitting a fence.

I wanna hear that sound sample they used in the grudge that the phone makes..that was a creepy sound.

Here are a few clips of me playing a heavily effected Ibanez backwards at about 70% speed. They're quite short, but I was pretty much laying down ideas to expand on later. What do you guys think?

This is a short video I made to test fraps, but it features a song I'm working on for future dayz things.

There is a fantastic 2-CD compilation by Mark Morgan called "Vault Archives"

Mark is the composer for Fallout 1 and 2. And also the upcoming Wasteland 2.

The entire set is just great and I suggest listening to it all.

Here is a taste:

I got a really strong DayZ vibe from the music and the scenery!

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Soundtracks are my main ambient music for the mod.

Sometimes I'll listen to The Vernian Process "Behold the Machine" (instrumental version).

[Mugen (DayZ) 72]

This by far (Don't mind the video just listen to the song)

Dont think some of you get the concept of 'ambient' music..

Here is some actual 'ambient' music that fits in nicely with the game...

From one of the best films ever made..

I have to say MooZe did a good job with creating the music in all three STALKER games, it really did hit a chord. Its such a shame the series had to die but who knows what GSC/Vostok Games will move on to with their new free MMORPG.

Since i'm a bandit and enjoy hunting, whether it be other bandits, survivors or animals:

Not really ambient but awesome. If only I could take the skulls from those I have slain. I kill with absurd patience and so have only averaged about 1 kill per 2 hours of play time, but that's 30 hours spent alive...
