Lots of people were complaining about how abrupt the change in music was. It's such a contrast to the normal, peaceful music. It was annoying how often the music drastically changed every time you're spotted by some angy mob - and all the more rediculous when you overpower weaker enemies. I also agree that combat music is important, though.

Music is a game mechanic that allows the player to play songs using instruments. Songs can be imported into the game using ABC notation. This allows players the ability to share songs, or search for songs others have composed online.
Instrument usage has no effect on ongoing game music; however, notes made by instruments are categorized as sound effects rather than as music, so muting the game's music does not mute music produced by instruments.

Instruments
Instruments are items that can be used to play songs. They produce unique sounds when played, and the same song can be played using different instruments. Some songs may even be intended to be played on a specific instrument. There are a large number of different varieties of instruments (listed below). Tiy stated in a stream that they intend to give each race a unique instrument as well.
