(it contains all as single tracks and also the long version as it's here, but with active keys in Dialing earth^^)


...I'm still learning this stuff, playing, recording, mixing etc. ;P
So I'm still not 100% satisfied with some spots, but in the whole I've learned with this project :)

I just wanted to play some recognizable melodies of the OST.
It started with Intro/Destiny Arrives, but after I've finished the pianos, I added another song... so it grew...and the amount escalated quickly^^

An official released OST is still missing, so:
Big special thanks to the people here on Youtube, who uploaded the extractions of the music that played during the episodes and removed a huge amount
of the environmental sounds, dialogues and other non-music-stuff via EQ!
This made it somehow less complicated to identify notes, even if the overall quality still let it be a challenge due to noise, pumping, changing volume etc.:

This is all by ear = no tabs, and it contains no original audio!
... and was probably my most challenging attempt in mixing until now^^
Some songs are more close to the original, others have some more variations ;P
Because there is no official released OST, I didn't want to be too "experimental" and destroy more than creating^^
Overall it has less loudness than professional mastered stuff, but I really didn't want to hypercompress this, even because I never mixed instruments this way and didn't want to overdo it,just because everything else in the music-biz is loudness-war-mastered as hell...

*The rhythms in Song N°2 are inspired from the Piano-version by Youtube-user - Rinerion - :) I liked those ones and remebered them during the jammingtracks.

A small Gauntlet-melody is in the middle, because the series also stopped near the middle (SGU was designed for five seasons), so I don't see the end of S2 as the end of the series, it's in stasis,for longer than the expected three years.
I can't really play piano,but also wanted to do something with the "Gauntlet"-Melody and didn't only want to simply use another one's MIDI. Somehow I also wanted to make it sound more positive and driven, not just like the "sad ending theme" that it normally is!
I hope it worked^^

Diving in the sun that was such a nice episode.It was a bit hard to figure out the strings in the background, but I hope, they're not too much off^^

Limelight - is this a single song or just an intro-part of CtD? I just took it as it's been named in a yt-playlist, but I have no problem with this as a single song.

Countdown to Destiny - I dropped a small part and one repeated track in the end, but I hope you won't kill me because of that^^

The only Mission is Survival - somehow the original song sounds a bit like it's from Babylon5, just imagine it with 90's synths oO

Maybe I'll also cover further SGU-songs, that's just a matter of time^__^ but not as a pseudo-medley again, as single ones :) „Wrong People" for example, which I also wanted to include into this one here^^

Maybe we'll get more soundtracks and even a real OST-Release, when the series continue,so pls. sign that petition :)
Thanks to everyone who'll sign and like, share, comment mine.

I really like it, how series like these are uniting people from all around the world, like in the series itself :D
