Plus - Free Indie Soundtracks

Posted by Derek Yu Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:19:00 GMT

Plus / Rescue the Beagles

II (“Pause”), the retro/chiptune music label and community, has launched a new section to their website called Plus, which is specifically devoted to free indie/doujin game soundtracks. So far there are only two albums available, the Rescue: The Beagles OST, composed by Disasterpeace, and the Another Bound Neo (doujin FPS) OST. Label co-founder and artist Phlogiston says more are on the way, but he’d love to see developers contact II and release their soundtracks. You might recall that Phlogiston is the musician behind cactus and VilleK’s Brain Damaged Toon Underworld, among other things. He’s also collaborated with the chiptune music collective 8bitpeoples.

Great idea! Developers, submit your music – I hope to see many more games on there in the future. And definitely poke around the rest of the II catalog, too.

(The Rescue: The Beagles album art displayed above is by the very talented Annabelle Kennedy. Full version of the artwork can be seen here!)

    This is awesome. What kinds of music do they accept?

  2. Eirik / Phlog said 43 minutes later:

    We accept any music from indie and doujin games, and with time maybe even indie film scores if there’s any interest for it. As long as we enjoy it, we’re willing to put it out.

    And the label name is pronounced “pause”. Don’t you get it?

    I get it! Well, now I get it. Okay, so I didn’t spend enough time thinking about it. ;__;

  4. Nikica said about 1 hour later:

    Great work Annabelle, as always :)

  5. Fishy Boy said about 2 hours later:

    I agree. That art is just absolutely gorgeous.

  6. Rich Vreeland said about 2 hours later:

    Thanks for getting the word out!

    By the way it’s spelled “Disasterpeace”

    :)

    I can’t wait for Brain Damaged Toon Underworld…

  11. Paul Eres said about 7 hours later:

    We’ve already released the Immortal Defense soundtrack free on our forums – http://studioeres.com/forums/index.php?topic=210 – I’ll have to look into contacting him to see if he wants to put that up there. However, it’s not retro or chiptune, so I’m not sure it’d fit?

  12. Paul Eres said about 7 hours later:

    Argh, does that spam filter take out everything with a url? :(

    Derek, could you unfilter the comment that it ate?

  13. Chris said about 8 hours later:

    Great idea!

    The Rescue: The Beagles soundtrack doesn’t seem to include all the music, though. I mostly used the Aesqe music when I was playing.

  14. Derek said about 8 hours later:

    Paul, the comment has been freed and Phlog has already stated that “as long as we [Pause] enjoy it, we’re willing to put it out.” So yeah, go for it! :)

  15. konjak said about 8 hours later:

    I wouldn’t mind you using Noitu 2’s soundtrack. :)

    I must flaunt it.

  16. PoV said about 8 hours later:

    Super Awesome

  17. Paul Eres said about 13 hours later:

    Thanks Derek.

    I sent them a message using their generic contact form, I didn’t know if I should use that or if there were some other way to contact them. That form didn’t allow URLs either, funnily, making it hard to let them know where the soundtrack is.

  18. Rich said about 21 hours later:

    Hey Paul,

    You can always send us demos at demos@iimusic.net

    Cheers
