Thiefly music with CC licence: Unguarded Reliquary

Found this over on ttlg -

 

Info:
These tunes were produced for a Thief 2 fan mission project called "The Hammerite Imperium" which folded due to unfortunate circumstances. Instead of letting my work go to waste, I decided to release them to the public. My main aim is to provide the Thief fan mission community with a collection of music that they can include in their missions for free, but fan mission makers/modders/etc. for other games and projects can use these too. You are free to use them for non-profit purposes only.

Why So many? Why so short?
These songs are designed to be used in certain areas, to enhance certain emotions, elements, etc. in the mission. Also, They are meant to be repeated (looped) an arbitrary amount of times and having short songs in small files is cost effective for this purpose. Even though the names would suggest, they were never actual songs, but collections of shorter themes that have now been separated into individual files. You can still (re)construct them into longer songs by placing them in the playlist of your favorite player (e.g. WinAmp). You can also have some fun with the shuffle/random functionality of the player. That way you get an ever morphing song that should keep the listener's interest up for quite a long time.

I have listened to the songs (using player reviiri mentioned).

In my opinion its sounds nice (good quality), but feels too modern. (got a modernized thief 3 feelings of it).

I have listened to a selection. The style isn't bad, but what the mod needs most aren't really musical pieces but looped "effects", cues, drones, that kind of stuff.

Hiya. Thank you for sharing the link, and for the comments. I'm the guy who made these songs - originally for the Thief 2 Fan Mission campaign "The Hammerite Imperium". This campaign unfortunately didn't go anywhere in the end (the first mission was released with the help of BikerDude among others), so almost all of these tunes were left unused. Therefore I released them for free, so that anyone can use them in their fan missions, or in other non-profit endeavors.
