January and 2024 News (Video game, voicelines, Opus, etc.)

Hi everyone!

Brace yourself, we got quite a lot of news to share, and an important question.

Albums in 2024!

This month, we released "It Might Be Too Much", by the band Too Much Of Such. It's a very original eastern-european folk/tavern album! I promise you'll never find anything similar anywhere else. The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Vladimir...

Arctic Lab Adventure Theme (9 ambiences)

Hi Patrons!

It's also the Adventure Theme of December. We are late, sorry for that! The good side is that we worked on many projects and we got plenty of great news to share. I'll make another post in the days to come.

The inspiration for this pack is Sci-Fi. Imagine an experimental laboratory on a frozen exoplanet. I made ambiences based on several scenarios you could run in such a situation. We didn't share anything very Sci-Fi recently and it deserved some love. Please share yo...

Gifts of the Everdark Eve (4 ambiences, maps, tokens, etc.)

Hey everyone!

Merry Christmas! We collaborated with several other creators to bring you a terrifying version of a steampunk music toys factory. Right under, you'll find magical items, maps, tokens, creatures, ambiences and (in another post), songs!

This pack depicts a steampunk musical instruments factory... that went rogue. I made sure to add variations that work in less specific situations of course, so if you aren't into Christmas oriented scenarios, it won't be a problem.

A Winter in Blackthorn (4 songs)

Greetings, dear adventurers!

Filip here!

Well, the cat is out of the bag! You heard the news, folks! We've partnered with Paizo!

This is the reason why the content was delayed on my end for the past few months. I apologize. I was writing a soundtrack for one of the Paizo Adventure Paths. It was the first time we worked together, and I wanted everything to be perfect — to respect the source material to the fullest potential. Michael posted one of the songs from the soundtra...

Vaults of the Diamond King (4 songs)

Greetings, everyone!

Here's our new 4 song adventure compilation. Winter is coming! (don't sue us, HBO...play nice).
And, I thought I should start writing about snow and reindeers, sooner than later.
Just kidding, haha. This story is about you and your party trying to survive the menacing blizzards and wild tundra, while venturing deeper and deeper into the frost mountains, where the old Diamond King rests...and his cursed treasure, of course! I gotcha!

The big announcement (PAIZO!) + free track

Hello everyone!

You are the first to learn the news: MGS signed a very important deal a few days ago.

We will compose the official soundtracks FOR ALL PAST AND FUTURE releases by PAIZO! We are incredibly happy and honored to work with them.

Filip will focus his efforts on their upcoming releases, called "Adventure Paths", which represent about four albums per year. In the meantime, other composers (such as Lyre RPG Music which recently joine...

November news, part 1

Hey everyone!

Lots of things to share this month. As explained in our newsletter, the hard work of the past 6 to 8 months comes to fruition, all at the same time (hence the delay for october releases). Here's part 1 of the news.

The team grows!

You maybe saw the news on Discord or on our newsletter, but if it's not the case yet :

Lost In Time Pt. 1 and Underground Ambiences (22 ambiences)

Hello everyone!

As you've probably saw, Filip and I are late for October releases. I can't officially tell you why yet, you'll know on the 13th of October, but it's BIG. There are other reasons, I'll write a post tomorrow with the details. November will really be full of surprises.

To compensate, here's a huge pack that encompasses both October and November releases and more, and it even comes early in the month.

The second part of "Lost In Time" is for guardians+ patrons. I...

Nova Nexus (4 songs)

Greetings, everyone!

Here's our final 4 song compilation for the month of October. A short sci-fi scenario I created for your Starfinder Halloween events.

So, what we have here is a murder...IN SPACE! (always wanted to say that)

Within this musical selection, you'll find two retro-futuristic soundscapes that will propel you through the narrative. One synthwave combat theme, exuding a curious blend of satire and spine-tingling mystique. And one exploration theme...

Nocturnal Textures (4 songs)

Greetings, everyone!

Happy Halloween, my fellow spook enthusiasts!

I'm happy to unveil four new spooky tracks just in time for your Halloween gatherings. We've got a wicked duo of gothic songs and an eerie pair of dungeon soundscapes. These tracks, subdued with inquisitive vibe, are perfect for settings like abandoned mansions, desolate cemeteries, or creepy graveyards.

Now, I did mention that I'd be running a tad late with the music release this month due to our  super...

Dark Prison Adventure Theme Collaboration (7 Ambiences, 1 animated scene)

Hello everyone!

Of course, for Halloween, we had to delve into dark themes. This idea was suggested by our friend James from James' RPG art. We collaborated to create a bone-chilling selection of ambiences and images about prisons (and other non-Geneva Conventions-compatible elements).

This year, I decided not to include many "haunted" ambiences with ghost voices and such, but rather some more down-to-earth horror.


I recommend to check James' patreon!

As Michael has already mentioned, I am currently composing music for our super secret project, which is why I'm sharing last month's content a bit later. I apologize for the delay; we always aim to maintain transparency with you all. Therefore, I must inform you that October's music will also be delayed due to my ongoing work on the mentioned project.

I am thrilled that we have the opportunity to showcase Elise's music to all of you. Both Michael and I are avi...

Lizardfolk And More Pt. 1 (10 Ambiences)

Hello Patrons!

I spent some time morphing voices and ended up creating some cool sounds for lizardfolk. These scaly bois have been waiting in my to-do list for quite some time and deserved some love. I composed 20 ambiences this month for Patreon, most being linked to the lizardfolk as they didn't have a single ambience so far. I split the work in two. 10 ambiences are for the guardian tier. I still listed them here in case you got some interest for them! You can download them 2023-09-28 13:05:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Artist Showcase - Elise in the Clouds (4 Songs + poll)

Hello patrons!

We got something unique for you today!

As you may know, MGS is now a TTRPG music label (as far as I know, the very first in the world!). We didn't make any public announcement yet, but we signed other artists some months ago for an incredible opportunity we got. The info was available if you looked closely on some of our medias ;)

The details of all of that will be sh...

A new life for older content ? You vote.

Dear patrons,

We require your wisdom.

After carefully considering this topic, we formulated the following question and we'd like an open discussion with you. We ran the same poll on the Patrons-only discord channel beforehand to feel the waters. We received an incredibly heartwarming support, so now we submit this question to everyone.

Filip released about 200 songs on Patreon in less than two years. The backlog is growing fast and we would like to do more with it. More prec...

September SFX (30 SFX)

Hello patrons!

This month, I'm sharing a sweet mix of everything for SFXs. While we do have 834 SFX released in total so far, I still feel like the main needs are covered yet (it's so vast). That's why I take care of a bit of everything while making sure there's room for more in the future (the SFX are numbered for this reason).

In-depth pack: Volcanic Field (10 ambiences)

Hello!

Here's the monthly ambiences pack! I wanted to do something different than an in-depth pack of "obvious" biomes this time (swamp, plains, etc.)

I was giving a look at my recent SFX downloads and I saw some mentions of new fire SFX. I didn't use them (yet), but it gave me the idea of doing an in-depth pack of a volcanic field.

I did some quite unexpected ambiences. Breaking the usual barrier of logic when creating in-depth packs usually end up making very interesting c...

Whispers of the Wildlands (4 songs)

Greetings, adventurers!

I am very excited to release this new compilation of four enchanting exploration songs. Each composition is unique in its own right, a melodious journey that unveils the mystique of distinct locations lying just beyond the edges of bustling settlements. Within this compilation, you'll discover a interesting tapestry of diversity and color of the sound, as did I while writing and experimenting with some new unique instruments.

Here's our new towns and streets compilation. Like I mentioned in a couple of posts before, my main goal for this sub-genre is to focus on a specific locations in random settlements, villages, towns or cities. So that one day I could make an interactive map and chart all the locations I made. Wouldn't that be something!

Each one will come with a variety of different themes, moods and emotions, but also with a short description to go along with your adventu...

Temple Of The Old Gods Adventure Theme (8 Ambiences, 30 SFX)

Greetings everyone!

For a long time I wanted to compose ambiences for the Cthulhu mythos specifically. Sadly, I don't know it much (because I'm a perpetual DM and one of my players is afraid of his own shadow, so creepy stuff is not possible at the table).

However, this month, we decided to work on some Cthulhu inspired audio with Filip. 

The few times I played Call of Cthulhu as a player, I felt like the feelings were more important than the facts, when we were around ...

Medieval Industrial District (7 Ambiences, 10 SFX)

With a bit of delay (for explanations, see this post), here's the monthly adventure theme pack! (ambiences and SFX).

I suppose this pack will be easy to use for most fantasy TTRPG campaigns, as it can be used in most cities (small and big).

As usual, the ambiences called "[...] Interior Perspective" are made to be layered with interior ambiences such as Stonemason Workshop. O...

In-depth pack : Jungles (11 Ambiences)

Hello adventurers!

July ambiences pack is another "in depth" pack. This time, it's about jungles! This pack and all the other jungle ambiences we made so far should cover the vast majority of main uses, including some niche ones such as snowfalls in jungles.

Most of these ambiences are made to set a tone and aren't descriptive in nature. It's how I used to do many ambiences when I started and I feel like it's very useful for DMs. I don't know if you'll hear the differences. As lon...

Fantasy Jukebox Vol.2 (4 songs)

Greetings, everyone!

Our second release for today is a mix of three combat songs and one adventure song.

Earlier this month, we received a commission inquiry to write a song inspired by Latin American culture and the pre-Columbian era for their upcoming TTRPG called ''Jungles of Kuauhtla''. This project was exciting but also a bit challenging for me since I've never written a song with this thematic structure. However, the team from Fifth Sun Press was very impressed and happy wit...

Stars Beyond Reach (4 songs)

I just wanted to say a couple of words before we delve into this sci-fi pack.

I apologize for the late release. My Uncle from Greece passed away a few weeks ago, and I was not in the right state of mind or emotionally stable enough to write music, so I started composing much later in the month of July. Life is unpredictable, and we can't control everything. My family and I are slowly getting back on our feet, and luckily, I managed to fi...
