Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the game was composed by Ben Prunty and was released on Bandcamp on September 14th, 2012. Most tracks come in two parts, one for exploration and one for battle, the game crossfading between the two depending on the situation.

The additional tracks added in the Advanced Edition were also released on Bandcamp on April 3rd, 2014. A bonus track which was reworked into MilkyWay is included.

Note that the Advanced Edition tracks are played in game even if Advanced Edition Content is disabled.

An unofficial FTL track was released by Ben Prunty on Bandcamp December 17, 2015. These tracks are not in the game, but the music pays homage to FTL's original soundtrack as noted by the recurring themes, as well as having both Explore and Battle variations.

See Sectors for the track distribution per sector.

FTL Tracklist

This is the COMPLETE soundtrack to FTL. Each interactive track from the game has been split into its two parts, both of which are complete tracks in their own right.

Think of it like a 2-disc set: tracks 1-14 are the low-key, relaxing Explore pieces, while tracks 15-29 make up the exciting, fast-paced Battle music. Listen to whichever half fits your mood, or make your own arrangement!

None of the music from the game has been omitted.

FTL: Advanced Edition Tracklist

This is all the music added to FTL as part of the Advanced Edition update, plus bonus track Colony Ship. Colony Ship was written in 2008, long before FTL, and was eventually reworked from scratch into MilkyWay.

It is all FREE FOREVER. This same music should also be available in the FTL game update download, but you can listen to it here as well.

We're putting the Battle tracks first this time to change things up a bit. As always though, I encourage you to make your own arrangements.

The album art was made by the imaginative Erika Johannsen.

Unofficial FTL Tracklist

In September of 2015 I had a lull between projects and, on a whim, decided to make some unofficial FTL music. The result is this EP. Three pieces, complete with Explore and Battle versions, for your deep space listening enjoyment. The three pieces, played in order, imply a story.

The cover art was made by me, with some help from famed indie team Studio Miniboss. The photograph is from NASA's Apollo 9 mission. NASA, of course, had no part in the creation of this EP.

I hope you enjoy this music in your own explorations. Thank you to all of my fans worldwide.
