I don't think Hammer chants should sound overly deep and gloomy. Some of them are actually quite high in tone/tune. Lacking a better example, just have a "hear" at the TDP soundtracks we did, the track before Cragscleft and the Undercover one.

I don't see the Hammers being all dark and gloomy either. I mean - they are sort of a dark order/religion/group. . .but then, so is/was the Catholic church. It has a lot of dark periods and secrets, but that doesn't mean the whole thing is that way all the way through.

I can see some of it being semi-normal(ish), in some instances. :laff:Ok, so that probably makes no sense. But basically, I'm thinking within the walls of their own complexes I would imagine their lives would be very much like those in monasteries throughout history. It might be a bit of a jump, we've never seen monastery gardens, and some of the more 'normal' things historical monasteries had - but then, we don't see a lot the world must have.

The Gregorian chants are quite nice actually. I like them, and can see them being done in the Hammer temples during more peacable periods. The first one is a bit too monotonous in my opinion.

ravoll, those two links are interesting. creepy pictures in the first, but I sort of like the music. Its different. But I don't really feel it connecting to the thief world. The flavour is more. . .I don't know, Indian or. . .eastern somewhere. It seems to have a similar sound to some of the stuff by Loreena McKennitt. Not identical, of course, but some of the flavours seem the same somehow.
