A mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that replaces the bard song Old Time Battles with the Travelers song from Outer Wilds.
Each instrument from OW is mapped to a corresponding instrument in BG3, part for part:
- Banjo = Lute
- Whistling = Whistling
- Harmonica + Clarinet = Flute
- Stranger Strings = Violin
- Nomai Piano = Lyre
- Drums = Hand Drum

Copy & paste the Data/ directory into the game directory (something
like %steamapps%/common/Baldurs Gate 3/), merging with
%steamapps%/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Data/.
Just Perform the Old Time Battles song in-game. This will require instrument proficiency, which you can get by being a bard. If you want your less musically inclined friends to be able to join you, I recommend this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2759
The mod works in online multiplayer if all players have it. I do not know if it works if only one or some do.
Delete the *.wem files added by this mod from
%steamapps%/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Data/Public/Shared/Assets/Sound/
It should have no effect on saved games since it is just replacing the sound files for the in-game songs.

- The song does not loop perfectly, at the loop point (around 2:05) the song will fade out before starting again. This is a quick and dirty workaround to prevent the loop sounding much worse for a second or two because the BG3 instrument tracks are not all precisely the same length. There are probably better ways to solve this via time stretching or something.
