Felagund's hobby is composing orchestral music, and his latest creations are exciting Wing Commander based tracks. Below we're mirroring his distinct Confederation and Privateer themes. They're both small files that should put you in the mood for some space sim action. While some of his work was intended for the Privateer mods, his songs don't yet have an official home. He's looking to work with talented teams who like what he's created so far. On the Confed Main Theme:
I wanted to do something a bit different than the other Wing Commander themes have done, almost going back to an original game-style heroic feel. I focused on communicating with it both a sense of flying and a sense of heroism. I hope that it really captures the essence of Wing Commander.
For MIDI, I use a Roland MGS-64 sound module (which is based on the SC-88), plus an EMU Proteus/2 sound module. My keyboard is a Yamaha DP-250. I use Musicator to arrange the music.

Just listened to the confed theme...that's pretty fantastic work, bud. I've heard numerous fan creations for different mods and so forth and this is by far the best work I've heard in quite sometime. Although I'm merely a student of music, this arrangement is very much professional quality. I don't know if you were considering a career in this field but I strongly suggest you consider it since you obviously have a tremendous talent in it. I mean that in truest sincerity. That is some mighty fine work.
 
I thought the confed theme was alright. But I really liked your privateer theme.
Good work.
 
I definitely don't think the Confed theme is your best work; it doesn't really seem to fit together with your style.

I'm pretty sure I've told you before how highly I think of what you've done. Your approach is certainly the best way to approach game music considering the limitations of your equipment.

You should certainly be careful of what mods you consider working with in the future since your quality and efforts could well be wasted by others.

I agree with Ace entirely, your quality is very professional, any mod you choose to associate your music with should be chosen carefully.. I listened to the privateer themed song and was double "whoaed" by that score, quite exceptional.
 
For the confed-theme: I think it is quite a good mixture of pre-wc3 and after-wc3 style...I like it very much.
Privateer: That´s a movie Soundtrack! Very, very good...Love it!
