Celestia Forums

I use Celestia just for entertainment (hoping to learn something is the process). One other thing that I like to do while running Celestia is to use Winamp with a selection of music like; "The Launch" and "A New World” from Boston Third Stage album, most of the tracks from Kitaro's Ancient album, all of the tracks from Christopher Franke's The Best of Babylon 5 album and "Starman Leaves/End Title" from the Starman soundtrack album. All that music gives you a better immersive experience with Celestia. Of course, as I said in another post, I use a LCD projector to project Celestia on a 5' x 8' screen.

Ahhh NIRVANA!!! :lol:

I wonder what other music do you think is good to use with Celestia?

Best regards

The Blue-danube is good, as well as the other music on the 2001: A Space Odyssey album.
I also listen to the Outcast music as well, espesially the Horizon End theme.


Stargazer.

Stargazer.

Nothing but Radiohead!

I listen to Vangelis' Mythodia album while working on Mars textures. As he wrote it for the Mars missions. I listen to other Vangelis tracks while working in Celestia along with some Enigma. While working in space it helps to have some floaty music.

Pearl Jam, Tool or MOGWAI.

EON "Hymn of time" and "Horizon"
It?s slow dreaming synthesizer music or:
Jean Michel Jarre?s "Oxygene"

I'm almost ending my job to produce a .cel file that shows a journey through the Solar System, for the children that visit our Observatory (157 frasso Sabino).
So I have gathered it, with pleasure, to the following music:

1- Mozart Op21
2- Shubert-Piano Dreams
3- Mozart-Serenata 13 K.525

I think that this kind of music can give to the spectator a sense of the space immensity and beauty.

Andrea

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is quite a good album for Celestia, Kid A and may be OK Computer. The Fragile makes things pretty interesting. May be the Star Trek theme? :-) the First Contact one yeah that's pretty good.

there is some spacey sounds designed for Celestia at:

its an MP3 and you'll need something that can loop it but it does the trick for me - I will be producing more of these.

Something Doomy, along these lines.

Any Candlemass
Paradise Lost (The One Second Album)
My Dying Bride (Like Gods of the Sun)
Type O Negative (October Rust)
Cradle of Filth ( Dusk and Her Embrace)
Abruptum (Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me)
Mortis (Kaiser av en Dimension Ukjet)

Not to everyones taste, but hey it's cool music

If I'm out among the stars and galaxies, nothing seems more appropriate than "Neptune, The Mystic" from "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Quiet, eerie, mysterious and beautiful. A lot like the Universe, really.

Anything from Haydn
or Steeleye Span
or Maddy Prior
or The Corries
or

WOW!!! Excelent selections.

You mention everything from A to Z. Perfect for my ecletical taste for music.

By the way, Andrea, living in Puerto Rico give me the chance to visit the Arecibo radio telescope observatory frequently. They recently built a great museum, Smithsonian style.

It will be great if they can use Celestia for an interactive presentation. Don't you think so.

Where do you get that?

I usually have on Ain Soph, Apex Twin album of unknown name 2 CD set though, Lull - Cold Summer is very majestic ambient, anomg others...

Also I recommend Neptune Towers...Supreme dark ambient

I listen the music, I always listen:
Cannibal Corpse, Sepultura, Callenish Circle, Vomitory, Eisregen and others. I don't listen any special music while using Celestia.

Buena Vista Social Club is strangely fitting, I find. The other CD that seems to 'fit' for me is Inside the dub plates by Salmonella Dub. Anything quirky, technically interesting but 'transcendent' somehow seems to fit the bill when buzzing from star to star...

"The Planets" is a very famous classical work (1916) that was the primary inspiration for a lot of contemporary film composers, most notably John Williams. You can find it under "Holst" in the classical section of your local music store - or possibly online somewhere, but I wouldn't know about that...
