![]() This, along with the track ' I Riden Så' from Finnish band Gjallarhorn whose style echoes the medieval folk music of Scandinavia, can give you a pretty good idea where the major differences lie. From Iceland, we have 'Rimur' chanting, this example is a collaboration between Steindór Andersen and Sigur Rós. Take these examples: a 'Puirt à beul' song native to Scotland and Ireland and 'Kan Ha Diskan' from Brittany both of which can be described as 'Celtic' music. Whilst Celtic music itself can cover a broad range of traditional styles, I feel that Nordic folk music is far more distinct. While these medieval cultures were close to each other on the map, they were largely different in their traditions and more to the point, their music. ![]() ![]() ![]() Skyrim is clearly inspired by the Nordic countries of Northern Europe, the Celts on the other hand, were situated in central to Western Europe. Whilst Adrian Von Ziegler is not by any means a bad composer, I found the use of his tracks for this mod very jarring and un-immersive. Compositions by Adrian Von Ziegler have been placed methodically throughout the differing areas of Skyrim and the mod author has done a good job of matching the feel of each track to an area or situation within the game. Providing 4 hours of new compositions, this mod essentially doubles the amount of music in the game.
