But isn’t that already covered by the 400k stretch goal?
Thus I don’t think we will hear German or Bulgarian bands.
yes I read that but if you read more of this thread you would see that my concern is more about the use of historical instruments and if the music is not all “church” music, because that is what most 'ancient song books consist of.
I don’t know, yo, I’d like me some phat organ sound, ya know. 
No, seriously, would be nice when I enter a church or monastery and the priest or whoever it does would play something on the organ. It would be even better if I could play it myself.
Or imagine this in the monastery (Sazava Monastery)
-> a Gregorian choir plus organ. That would add to the atmosphere immensely.
So, I can’t see a problem with ‘church’ music. Quite the contrary. 
This is the most accurate example of profane and folklore music from that period and place I guess: http://www.emusic.com/album/various-artists/musica-in-bohemia-in-tempore-caroli-iv/14232593/

church music in churches would be great but not through all the game all the time
These are great!! If we get music like the Saltarello (from the first link) then I am happy it really is dancing music and many neo-medieval folk bands play it (like Corvus Corax).
I really hope for music like this! Omar you are really The best 
I guess this will be solved by the modularity of AI as they described it, thus monks will sing their songs just during some part of the day as well as folklore band won’t play in the pub all the time but for example in the evening.
so if we can get music like this it will probably be just from ingame NPC’s and not like ingame background music… that could please me and if it doesn’t I’ll just put a cd on while gaming
Good topic! I’m recommending the Inquisitor soundtrack for your consideration and listening, very good tracks.
While I like the music I don’t think it’s very fit for a medieval game.
Also off topic: I think you might like the band Coppelius
This is very old song (origin unknown) which become first Polish anthem
And here is small part of “The Knights of the Cross” film with “Christ ist erstanden” (about 4:05) and “Bogurodzica” (4:34) during battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg
I think it’s some very good sound tracks, but they don’t really fit for a medieval game do they?
Actually I think all the music they get in almost have to be specially developed or re-made for this game.
Music should play an illustrative role. And the game needs various themes. I am not insisting to take particular song and put it into the KCD. What I tried to show is that tavern music is needed here and big national songs would fit too. It depends of the scene or mood.

I’m all for period music during random wandering about town, travelling, or during cut scenes where it fits the moment. However, I wonder if maybe they’ll need to use more dramatic themes common to film scores during dynamic moments such as battles. To be clear, I would like the music to be period as much as possible for immersion. However, it may be necessary to use original works when they need something more like modern scores to fit a particular moment.
I initially thought that there will be no other music than that in cutscenes and then some interpreted music in pubs, churches and maybe on fields sing by working villagers. But in live-stream Dan Vávra said that there shall be music even if you walk in some empty forest for example. I’m fine with that but I hope they will do it very carefully because those noises of nature around like buzzing bees, singing birds and wind blowing through straws of grass are really amazing and immersive.
Well I think that you need indeed music for more dramatic moments but that is perfectly possible within the range of medieval instruments and songs (for example drums can change a lot).
I don’t think it needs ‘modern’ music.
this does not belong here…
Does it say i’m a knight?
Also I would like music, but it should be period music
Watch your behaviour, please. You are being watched and such manners will not be tolerated.
Perhaps I am beating a dead (and an off-topic at that) horse, but…:
It is a historical concept of an area (covering Germany, Bohemia, Poland, Austria, Switzerland Hungary and Slovakia) with shared culture, history (Holy Roman Empire, Austrian-Hungarian Empire) and partly language (that is German language which had a profound influence on Czech and was in fact more used by educated Czechs during the Austrian-Hungarian period than Czech was). Also, religion. All of the central Europe was catholic (and parts were later protestant) whereas eastern Europe was (is) orthodox.
Also:
Of course, you can come up with any sort of division of Europe and no single one is THE only right one, but this CIA one seems to make most sense historically (Switzerland is hard to put anywhere as it is a very special country with a very special history).
And a note - a lot of people in Bohemia today don’t like EU all that very much, in fact the Czech populace seems to be of the most hostile towards it (among the EU countries) surpassed perhaps only by that of the United Kingdom.
Again, I apologize for the off-topic. If the admins feel this does not belong here, I understand if they want to delete this.
