Gernot has begun to transcribe some of the themes you hear in Gabriel Knight 2, into MIDI format. Here is his first result, with an MP3 version in the section below. You are all encouraged to send words of encouragement directly to Gernot.

If you are after some superb quality sound files of Gabriel Knight 2 music, here is where you will find it! You will need to obtain an MPEG 3 player before you can listen to them, but I assure you that the quality is spectacular. All of these files were "liberated" from Sierra's main GK2 site, and were converted into stereo MPEG's, from 22khz stereo WAV's (which were huge!).
Gernot recently(ish) sent me over a whole new batch of GK2 mp3's that have been completely resampled. Until I get round to creating a jazzy table page to link them to, you can get the raw files directly.

Well, here they all are (finally). some of the pieces within the game had long moments of silence in between, as they were music accompanying interludes during the actual game. Where possible, these have been removed cleanly to give a complete musical piece for playback. All the titles below are my own suggestions. I hope you enjoy them! All sounds were sampled by me, and are here purely for the enjoyment of fellow GK fans.
