For many of us, among many other games, we grew up playing Halo and then eventually Destiny. While doing this, many more of us were inspired and moved by the beautiful music in both games. Thanks to Martin O'Donnell, Halo and Destiny have some of the greatest musical scores in the gaming world. However, since the release of Destiny 1, the music has been locked away from the world and is only present in game. While yes, you may find videos on Youtube, the actual original scores are not available in any way to the public. The original album is called "Music of the Spheres". Recently, some have been able to piece together what the scores might have sounded like through lives streams, cinematics, and through the game itself. If you haven't already, I implore you to take a moment and listen to these scores, as they vastly intricate and beautiful. Finally, I ask everyone to go to the link below and sign the petition asking Bungie to release the album. Up vote this post and share it to get the word out to other music lovers and gamers. We can make a change!

[TL:DR] There is awesome music in destiny, sign this petition for Bungie to release the original music in the game to the public.

Edited by WickedWahine808: 12/5/2017 6:18:54 PMThank you for posting this. I have been asking the same question for years. For the ones who are saying "It's all there", it's not. Music of the Spheres pieces are all excerpts on the soundtrack. Music of the Spheres, a symphonic and choral suite in eight movements, is one of the most valuable and amazing composition to grace the video game world. For me, it was the heart and soul of the game, just like the Halo motifs. Shame on the publisher or whoever had an axe to grind for not releasing in its entirety, complete disregard to the composers as well as the fans. I don't really play the game anymore but I still listen to vanilla music and all of Martin O'Donnell's compositions. Games come and go, music is eternal. FYI, for those interested, the composers do not have rights to MotS, as the work was done "for hire". Publisher/studio owns it and has the ability to release it without paying anything to anyone. The only thing I can think off for not doing so is some personal pay-back for whatever happened between the artist(s) and the studio. A real shame and the reason why I have no love left for the studio.
