INFO ABOUT looping music for games:
An mp3 file cannot be used for smooth loops as mp3 stores its metadata at the start of the track, which presents itself as a split second of silence. This is usually unnoticeable, except for when trying to create a loop (or when listening to an album where the tracks are designed to flow from one to the next). Therefore, you need to use practically any other audio format available. I personally recommend .ogg. Converting mp3's to ogg can be done easily online or with conversion software, and should be done before attempting to edit the audio file for looping. however if you want a version of one of my tracks specifically designed for looping, just ask.
About Nihilore
Solo Gig
Nihilore originally started out in 2009 as a side project for me (J Opie) to practice my music production skills and write and record music i was unable to with the bands i was playing in at the time. Eventually I decided to focus on Nihilore as my sole musical pursuit and spent 2011 & 2012 recording and releasing Nihilore albums before deciding to study music at AIM.
