I will be rocking out on DSEC-9 after Mayhem is over.

A look into the past:
A bump for DSEC-9 Music ![]()
Just a little update.
Approved plans for 2023 is an overhaul of the Music on DSEC-9, mostly i will be revisiting some of the songs for small changes, but also atmospheric tracks that works as a âbreakâ between main songs will be added, That is tracks without drums and typically also sounds like Robot chatterings and wind sounds.
Always this music for DSEC is not directly trying to imitate PE/Calypso as DSEC has its own style and lore, but there a very big hint of nostalgia embedded in to many of the tracks. I know a lot of people play with muisc off because there have never been much of a focus on that side of the game, with DSEC-9 i am really trying to change that - now EU is not the most populated game on earth, so it wonât give me a ton of publicity, but EU/PE music helped me define my music and thus sits close to my heart, including the ability to archieve a dream of contributing to ingame music like possible here.
Progress is not really fast i am more than willing to admit that, but its slowly getting there, i try not to compromise quality to get things done faster ![]()
Happy new year to everyone
Very nice indeed ![]()
[B]New release included with content release
DSEC9
MUSIC OVERHAUL[/B]
Nobion has been working overtime overhauling the audio experience on DSEC9. We are delighted and thankful for the wonderful job he has done. In his own words:
âHello Entropians,
Iâve had the pleasure of providing the music for DSEC which has been running since June 2021. While I managed to make a fair number of tracks, I did not see my overall vision become reality with the release, so not long after, I began working on what I call âThe DSEC Music overhaulâ.
The work is finished, and you will be able to log in and enjoy it today! but first a few words about the music & the thoughts behind it. Until now, the soundtrack featured around 20 tracks, these were split between the 3 Zones, but from now on, the whole soundtrack will be shared between all zones!
The soundtrack has been upgraded to feature not only songs but also more âatmosphericâ tracks that are typically slower and can feature environmental elements (wind, humming, etc.) in total the soundtrack now features 30 songs and 30 atmospheric songs for a combined playlist of 60 tracks! to put that into perspective, itâs 2.8 hours of continuous music!
For the older players, you might even notice a few very nostalgic sounds make an appearance throughout the soundtrack
Inspirations come from Project Entropia, Entropia Universe, The Omikron Soul, and multiple other sources. You will experience some tracks that sound very Project Entropiaâish, while others have their unique style or other recognizable influences.
Due to some technical circumstances, the music is mixed so it always plays the song first, and fades into an atmospheric song, so teleporting in and out to shift songs in a search to experience the complete soundtrack will not be possible
Enjoy!â
NoBion

Thank you Wilhb81
For an example on the more atmospheric tracks, you can listen to the youtube link below
So captures the Project Entropia feel! Thanks NoBion for keeping it alive!
The Music on DSEC was unfortunately bugged for several months and did not play at all.
The Virtualsense team have worked out the problem, and from yesterday and onwards the music is yet again functional.
Note: whenever you go to DSEC from Monria or other âdifferentâ places. you will need to relog to get the music playing. Enjoy
God MA are shit sometimes⌠itâs like, when programming anything, no one ever takes a moment to stand back and go âok so what are my edge cases?â I mean this should be a standard habit surely?
I do not know if itâs the fault of MA or Virtual sense. So I wonât point fingers. But there is this issue and then inside buildings the music stops as well. I just hope it gets fixed at some point ![]()
Really like what you have accomplished here, very atmospheric music you have created, good job! :thumbup:
hmm if that happens with music on Caly/other planets/moons too then guessing itâs MAâs fault, otherwise might be the level designers/sound people at VS
Just wanted to update the thread with the news of the updated soundtrack on DSEC9

For anyone interested, the DSEC-9 soundtrack has just been updated!
The soundtrack has already undergone one major overhaul in the past, and this update is intended to serve as the final overhaul. That said, donât worryânew tracks and additions may still find their way into the soundtrack from time to time.
This project has been an incredible learning experience, and I want to give a huge shoutout to Virtualsense for their cooperation and support throughout the entire journey. ![]()
I hope youâll take some time to visit DSEC-9 and enjoy the music, along with all the other new content that has been added.
As a side note, Iâm currently working on reworking and remixing some very old tracks that predate DSEC-9. My goal is to release them on appropriate platforms later this year.
Thank you to everyone who has listened and supported the project!
