Update: Viscerafest Ch2 OST will be yours this week!

Hi all - I'm finally in the process of implementing my music into the game which means that the soundtrack is (assuming no last minute adjustments) completely done! A new game patch will be going to the publisher this week. I'm so happy to see my first full soundtrack/album in the game because it marks a milestone in my early career as a video game composer. 

As a Patreon supporter, you'll have the entire OST in your hands before the end of this week... and more th...

Viscerafest Ch.2 OST Preview #2 - End Of The Line

Hey all! FINALLY I'm out of my hermit hole (Viscerafest + Atomic Heart back to back 😅) and now able to show off lots of music and get back to YouTube stuff. 

When Markie started on the VF soundtrack, he had a vision: "I wanted to set the high energy electro feel of [Chapter 1] with this sort of dancey-metal hybrid that keeps driving you forward." When I was handed the torch for chapter 2, my job was to extend his original vision and build upon the standard that he already establ...

I’m working on music for Atomic Heart

Yep, that’s right! The one where Mick Gordon is a composer. My super-secret project is this one. You won’t hear much until this game is released, but you can hear a little taste of some music I worked on from 0:17 - 2:56 in this new trailer!

This is why I’ve had to push the YouTube stuff back a bit, and now you can see why I’d choose to do so.

Hope you’re all doing well 😃

Best,

Geoff

The Shambler

Enjoy a preview track from Viscerafest Chapter 2! 

Check out the pinned comment for life update stuff. You have heard most of it from me already from my update videos here, but in case you haven't seen that, you can read more =]

(No early access this time since there isn't a file attached - saving that for the full soundtrack release)

Patron Update - August 2022

Sorry for the lack up updates in July! Here's what's going on.

(I mentioned the second project started in mid-July. Actually it was mid-June. I misspoke)

Patron Update - June 2022 (Text Edition!)

Hi all - I normally do a recorded video for these updates but I caught covid last week and I am still looking and sounding like a sick dude so I figured this would make more sense 🙂

First, I want to give you a little bit of a spoiler for an upcoming YT announcement video because it involves some changes to my Patreon structure:

Starting this month I am going to be working on the soundtrack for the game 2022-06-05 18:11:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Huuuuge thank you to everyone involved in this cover. Now you know why it took so long!

Video is coming out at some point Saturday. You might already know this but both myself AND my editor caught covid, so there have been some unexpe...

Providence (Audiofreq ElectroCult Remix)

Here's the kickass midtempo gritty synth banger remix of Providence done by my DJ buddy Audiofreq. I think it's rad and perfectly captures the undercity nightlife vibes of a tech world like Providence. Let us know what you think!

(Only slightly early access since it's releasing tomorrow, sorry!)

Slight change of pace but otherwise it’s gonna be an exciting month 🤘

Kirby X DOOM - Early Access

New video coming your way very shortly! In the meantime, enjoy this Argentified (yet, still happy?) cover of Gourmet Race. A song about eating food at the maximum possible speed allowed by physics.

Patron Update - April 2022

Big (and ridiculous) stuff coming this month!

God of War (4) X Doom - Early Access

Enjoy this cover / unique arrangement of Deliverance by Bear McCreary! 

As some of you know, I have already done a cover for GoW3, but this score is something else entirely. Actually very challenging!

Video coming soon. keep an eye out 👀

Minecraft X Doom (plus bonus!) Early access

Here are the full songs for my Minecraft double-feature extravaganza. 

The first is an experiment... "what if Minecraft's relaxing ambient music written by C418 used a doomy palette?" It was pretty challenging but I'm curious what you think.

The second bonus song is a cover of the Classic DOOM song E1M4 Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names) because why the heck not. You'll see why I decided to make this when you watch the video!

Enjoy

Patron Update - March 2022

Schedule is a little off-kilter now but we'll make it work

Skyrim X Doom Eternal - Early Access

Enjoy this take on the main Dragonborn theme from Skyrim! 

I actually experimented with other combat music as well (which is half finished) so you may see more clips come through later on. It was really hard to just pick one song.

This song also involved some extra effort in a few different directions which is why it took longer than usual, and I'll share all that in the upcoming video =]

Patron Update - February 2022

Shorter month, same amount of content!

Maker's Hand Guitar Tabs

Here's a bonus for all of you who play guitar! In case you haven't seen it, the video is here https://youtu.be/ZjQrlCLEOwM?t=336 and links to audio-only streaming are in the vid description.

I used a 7 string guitar tuned to AEADGBE (drop A).

Bass guitar is the same, but only during the drumming parts. 5 string drop A tuning.

Project file is from Guitar Pro 7.

Maker's Hand - Original Track 2 of 4

What if doomguy jumped into a portal and landed in the middle of a Mad Max/Borderlands/RAGE -esque world full of scavengers and bandit raiders?

That's the question I had to answer for my second original track, where Regius must fight through a makeshift town full of outlaw faction fighters to reach the only working jump gate in the realm.

This song features recordings of knives, nuts and bolts, trash cans, a cardboard box, myself breathing into a mic, and my dad's snowblower (the ...

Providence: Original Track 1 of 4 (+ FBR Story Synopsis and WIP artwork)

When I said I needed to write an entire story to make original music, I wasn't kidding! See attached for the first track from Fight Between Realms.

As I was writing this track, I needed to solve the puzzle of "what would argent metal sound like for fighting cybernetically-enhanced people in a city?"

In the PDF, you will notice that there are markers in the story for when each song should be played. I hope that this makes your listening experience more enjoyable. 😊 The artwork...

Dark Souls 3 X Doom Eternal (Geoffrey Day, David Levy, Game Music Collective) - Early Access

Here's a HUGE one for you!

I teamed up with Game Music Collective and David Levy of Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods fame to bring you a Dark Souls soundtrack re-imagining of "Abyss Watchers" like nothing you've ever heard before.

GMC provided real life recordings of the men's choir, which are amazing. David not only pr...

Patron Update - December 2021

Usually I do these on the 1st/2nd but the 5th will have to do 😄

Metroid X Doom Eternal (ft. Andrew Baena) - Early Access

Enjoy this early access to this cover of "Vs Ridley", based mostly on the theme from super smash brothers.

Andrew Baena came to me with a sketched out song and a bunch of ideas, and then we worked together to make it a reality. Since I didn't do the guitars, bass, or drums for this one, I had lots of extra time to work out synths and sound effects. 

Good? Weird? Heavy af? Let me know what you think!

Production and Q/A Live Stream #1

I went through ideas for a track that could fit into the Blood Swamps as well as some sound design ideas and arrangement process.

Live stream Saturday 11/6 at 6pm GMT / 2pm EST!

I'll post the link in the comment below and in a new post shortly before. We'll be doing a live Q/A while I work on a new song from scratch. See you there!

Patron update - November 2021

For my amazing patrons - only one cover this month because I have to finish up something very special for you.

Undertale X Doom Eternal (Megalovania) - Early Access

Enjoy this early access to my cover of "Megalovania" from Undertale!

This song has been covered and remixed every which way, but I was surprised that no one had brought the guitars down an octave, as far as I know. The arrangement includes a couple of short "cameo" themes from other Undertale songs, so keep an ear open for those.

Thoughts? Let me know! Video coming on Sunday 🎃
