notes: 'For those people not familiar with Thomas van der Velden’s amazing independent
  game project Harmony, go download it and play it – it’s really something. It won
  a Cacoward in 2009, and is certainly some of the coolest work done using mostly
  the Vanilla Doom engine. Only one thing bothered me when the project was first released
  – the soundtrack for it consisted of three electronic tracks by Kyū. These three
  pieces were used across 11 levels, so the limited music selection felt to be a problem
  area, to me personally.

  So, starting in early 2011, I spent a few months composing a new original MIDI soundtrack
  (with Thomas’s permission) for it. Now, here it is – a selection of fourteen brand-new
  tracks composed specifically for the game.

  The tracks themselves definitely rank high for me, and at no point did I feel lacking
  in inspiration. Even so, it took me a good while to refine the tracks and get them
  into a state where I could confidently say that they were completed – this project
  was to be my biggest musical venture at the time, and the quality of each individual
  track was paramount. I’m glad I stuck to my guns and upheld the set of standards
  that I did for this project – overall the tracks are extremely pleasing to listen
  back to, but above all I believe they add a little extra “nostalgia factor” to the
  game itself. Good old MIDI files really sell the feeling of playing a lost oldschool
  shooter from the 90s.

  I still consider this musical project to be one of my finest, so please check this
  out, or at least the YouTube playlist. Running the game with the new music does
  require you to download the game separately, of course, so be sure to go to Thomas’s
  site first and grab it for yourself.'
