If you hook wires from a headphone cable plugged into a cassette, CD player, or even a boombox. and hook them into the #1 radio rack, anyone who's wearing a CVC helmet on the vehicle can hear the music, but you still hear outside radio transmission, and make transmissions without the receiving party hearing your music.
I don't fully remember how to it, but I would call it an AVG: Electronics task,

So this is not exactly music IN T2K, but if you are looking for some music FOR T2K, I can recommend Lao Che's Warsaw Uprising concept album. We saw them open for the Cranberries in Lublin and they were excellent.
The energy and Polish really gets you in the mood. Czerniaków has a nice eerie feel to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powsta...awskie_(album)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxTT...8fTSub&index=2 Last edited by Spartan-117; 02-11-2021 at 08:15 AM. |

When I was in the Army in the early 90s acapella was a pretty big thing, at least in the Combat Engineers. It was not uncommon for “concerts” to break out on the sidewalk during breaks and at night. A lot of us would just stop and listen for a good long while. I could easily see that continuing into the Twilight war as I stopped for a few songs in Germany as well.
As a side note, I never saw it again after I became a tanker. It may have been a cultural thing among the Combat Engineers at the time. Apart from that, I always used acoustic guitars for music in my PA games. The inspiration for that was South American cultures in the late 1800s. In many places the ability to play a guitar well was a symbol of manhood. People would commonly bring their guitars with them to all manner of gatherings. Additionally, impromptu competitions would “break out” to solve disputes or just because. If a character knew how to play a guitar, they could earn gratitude from villagers who are stressed and just want to relax and listen to music. Just the ability to entertain can earn cheaper fares and a good meal in a land where music is in short supply.

Math Isn't the Only Universal Language
Quote:
*In film, off the top of my head: Charlie Sheen & the heads sing Tracks of My Tears in Platoon Joker and Animal Mother lead a chorus of Micky Mouse Club theme song in Full Metal Jacket A lone Tommy sings I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger in 1917 James Francis Ryan and the Rangers listen to Edith Piaf songs in Saving Private Ryan And pretty much most of Good Morning Vietnam is about how important music was to American troops during the Vietnam War.

For related songs played in a war, there's the 2017 documentary chronicles Bruce Dickinson/Skunkworks' concert in Sarajevo during the Siege.
I missed the event, but my dear friend Saša was there. |
