Since the very first episode of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre, thrilling orchestral music has been a key part of the series' success. Reber Clark has written some wonderful scores, but most of the music we've used was composed and performed by Troy Sterling Nies. At last we've sifted through the DART archives and prepared two downloadable collections of his great music for your enjoyment. Please note, this product is ONLY available as a download - it is not a set of CDs.

  • Selected Favorites - we've picked at least one of our favorite cues from each of Troy's Dark Adventure scores and combined them here. Enjoy 26 tracks spanning 1 hour and 41 minutes of music.
  • Omnibus Edition - enjoy all of the Selected Favorites plus 63 more tracks, for a whopping 89-track album featuring almost 5 hours of music

Die-hard Dark Adventure fans will hear familiar music presented in a new way. When composers send us music, we often cut, alter, and manipulate it substantially to meet the needs of the show. Here, you'll experience the music as the composer intended it! Because there's no talking, gunfire or roaring monsters, you'll hear these compositions as you've never heard them before. By turns creepy, haunting, tense, moving and pulse-poundingly exciting, all of this music is highly evocative and inspiring. Great for setting the mood for role playing games, serving as a background for writing or making art, or simply to enjoy for its own sake.

So much fun to listen to!

I love musical scores and the DART soundtracks have been fantastic, and fun to listen to and great as supplement to the mood when reading Lovecraftian fiction. I recommend it for any who enjoy soundtracks for an original and immersive collection of music. Troy Sterling Nies does an amazing job! Keep up the great work.

Atmospheric, varied, and vast

If you been looking for you been looking for music and sound to accompany RPGs, RPG prep, reading, writing, etc., and the movie soundtracks of your favorite weird films and tv shows and are too uneven, short, requires programming, look no further. The omnibus edition of the Dark Adventure radio series is what you've been looking for. It is more than four and a half hours of high production value modern classical music. Check out the other reviews to find out more. I agree with others that having this on is a completely different experience than it being a part of the radio shows. Lots of so-called Lovecraftian music is freely available from the web. But a lot of it lacks subtlety and is usually repetitive. It "sounds" like someone making sound. This on the other hand is the real deal.

Long Overdue

It is nice to finally be able to purchase Troy Sterling Nies' music for Dark Adventure, thereby enabling me to better enjoy his great work. My only complaint, a minor one, would be the availability of all the music for each episode.
