Endless Space 2 – Harmonic Memories
More than 6 years have passed since the release of the first
Endless Space… FlybyNo, in pure madness, decided to delve into
the archives and remaster his favorite songs from the game that
made what Amplitude Studios is today! This add-on also features the
arrival of a new Harmony Hero FES2 Reflects.
A few words by FlybyNo:
For this musical add-on, I chose my 9 favorite songs from
Endless Space and modernized them with new instruments and
musicians.
In two pieces we recorded some “duduk”, the Armenian flute
emblematic of ES1’s main theme. I also recorded a duet of singers
for all the choir parts (that I had sung myself at the time, and I
can tell you that I sing particularly badly!). All the rhythmic
parts were redone by my assistant Alexandre, and I replaced most of
the synthesizers with brand new ones, especially the Solaris by
John Bowen, and The River which a French synthesizer only produced
in 20 copies to date. I hope you enjoy listening to this add-on as
much as I did producing it.”

Duduk and drum programming : Alexandre Bobe

New Harmony Hero: FES2 Reflects
The thing that separates Reflects from its kin and species could
best be described as “fatalism”. While other elements of the
Harmony may rail and fight against Dust, seeking to avoid or lessen
its disturbance of their senses, Reflects simply accepted Dust as a
new part of its reality and moved on. The desire to understand Dust
led it to the Academy, where curious scientists and philosophers
were as eager to study this mineral specimen as it was to study
their wisdom and ways…
