CCP RealX has posted an interesting dev blog delving into the music of EVE Online. RealX wrote 10 new tracks for the Quantum Rise expansion to accompany the 57 that were already in the game.
In the blog entry, RealX explains how the music creation process has changed over the years, and how it will continue to change in the future.
Much greater things are possible now: a totally adaptive soundtrack made up of musical elements which would weave up an interesting sound universe, changing to what is happening around you. We are also working on a overhaul of all the sound in EVE as it has gotten less love than it perhaps should have in the last 5 years. We are working with a whole new technology now which gives us much more creative freedom.
So while you play EVE Online, don't forget to turn up your speakers and enjoy the music. You can read the full post here or below.
