Maybe you all know this already, but i discovered this not until last month. Nothing groundbreaking ,but i thought why not share this little info.
If you listen to the FOA soundtrack (or even play the game), more precisely to a track named "Room of the God Machine" or in most cases something similar, you can hear "De Natura Sonoris II", a compostition by the composer Krzysztof Penderecki. The main part begins approximately 68 seconds within the above mentioned track. Interesting is, that this piece of music, written 1966, did not really became popular until 1980, the year the motion picture "The Shining" by Kubrick was released. There, Kubrick used it as the Main Theme.
It seems that there are two versions, hence the II in the title. I suppose, the one used in FOA is # II, but i canīt say for sure, because iīve never heard # I. The only striking difference i can hear is, that the FOA version is somewhat "slower" in general. (Maybe thatīs enough for calling it # I). Forgive me, iīm not a music expert. Maybe someone in the known can elaborate.
And, 13 years later, Clint Bajakian, Michael Z. Land and Peter McConnell decided to put this into a computer game. From horror to adventure, so to speak. ;)
(Admins: Wasnīt sure where to post this, as it is not specifically game related, so it ended up in the Generals tab. Feel free, of course, to move the thread)
