Elite Dangerous - Frameshift & Starports OST

Elite Dangerous 1984 - 2024

ELITE: DANGEROUS - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

FRAMESHIFT

Frameshift music takes it’s influence from the minimalist movement of the 60s and 70s, which I employed for the particular effect of that style.
I found that the repeating patterns and extended harmonies create a sense of timelessness and repetitive motion which suit the context well.

EXPLORATION & STARPORTS

In order to distinguish between the four ‘factions’ musically, I employed a set of textures and motifs for each, which re-occur when ever reference to these is made. I employed subtle cultural references to make the factions understood from our own global, cultural-historic perspective.
Faction specific music not only occurs in the star-ports and when arriving in new places but also when exploring. The style here is more ambient, especially for the exploration tracks which function like distant calls weaving in and out through the vastness of space.

[LOCAL] [Cruise Ship]: And don't forget, this Liner is in the top 1% of all Liners out there.

[moontrooper]

The music that makes traveling in a straight line for 6 hours all the more epic....

[endarz]

E:D's OST is so criminally underrated, yet so perfect and well-made that you never think that the music is out of place.

[Reckless_Redemption]

I never realized how much I appreciated this music until after I stopped playing this game.

[Alvadar]

I left the game in 2016 and only just came back and I didnt realise how much emotion I had tied to the music of the game. I launched the game, got into super cruise and got all teary eyed. I am a grown ass man that cried at a space game but god damn this gives me so many feelings.

[Captanuki]

And now, as the game wanes, I return here to relive memories of time lost to the void.

[OurLifeisaMiracle]

11:55 - that part omg...
I was praying for fuel during the looong trip... This game its a brilliant way to show how small our known world is...

[TheGuardingDark_]

I’ve come a long way for whats in your hold. Don’t try to resist!

[SLENT-_-PHANTM]

Playing elite dangerous while listening to music in the game and listening to OST Elite Dangerous at the same time gives +100% FSD jump range

[coldtech]

18:21 Ah yes... the best one imo
There is a spaceengine vibe to it

[ProtostarElite]

[LOCAL] [SomePirateNPC] Big haul like that, surprised you made it this far.

[sirgrem]

E:D has totally the best soundtrack for a game, it feels like my mind is just gone and now is staring off into the endless void of space itself. So immersive, it pulls your mind in.

[elektra]

This makes watching the distance indicator more epic

[ackrazam]

I played this while driving 6 hours to german autobahn, absolutely insane. Thanks for the upload!

[AlojzyZyrokompas]

It took me around 300 hours of gameplay until realising it's just huge grind but nothing beats game's music and sound design. For those things only I don't regret any minute spent in Elite. Gotta try VR someday.

[smhxjd]

This game has changed my life! When I finish late at work, I often look at the stars and go "I want to be there", it's the only game which I can actually travel to real stars and understand their systems (to the best of our current knowledge). I have yet to go to Betelgeuse :/ I hope this game never shuts down! If the servers do go down, I would gladly uninstall every other Xbox game to solely keep elite, even if the download is 500-750GB, I don't care! Best game I have ever played!

[wojciechdavidjacyk]

This is so beautiful. I can remember the feelings of seeing stars and reading about space when I was a child....

[goldeneyefleming]

i collect score music for 40 years of movies and games but this score is the best space score relax and mistery infinity solitude in space game

[hmr]

I want to play this game again, then I remember the mind numbing boredom and get angry. The OST cheers me up at least.
