I've worked on over 40 games in my career but one really holds a special place: The Long Dark. I finally got the OK to post a playlist of some cues from the survival mode. Its a nice blend of minimalist meets avant-garde:

Here's the thing. Bullying anyone isn't right. Whether female or male. However, that still doesnt change the fact that her character was poorly written. Not the actress fault of course but I want to support her but her character def did not change anything for the better. Sorry.
After its release 25 yrs ago, finally we have a proper Quake 2 soundtrack on vinyl. Very proud of the

First, thank you for your services. 2nd, No 18 yr old needs to have access to a war grade weapon. Enlisting age has zero to do with the fact that 17 people got killed (and many others). 3rd. What exactly is the idiot in office making great again? and lastly, 2020 in your dreams.
After 19 years our Quake 3 Arena Noise OST is finally released on all streaming media outlets. Hard to think its been 19 years. To think of it, VST 2.0 standard just came out that year. Crazy. Very proud of the Quake Lagacy so enjoy this work of video game nostalgia :)
Quake 2 remaster and Vinyl announcement today. Quake 2 obviously holds a special place in my gaming heart. It was my first gig back in 1997. To follow up something after your idol scored the Previews game in ur early 20s, wasn't easy. Im prepping a 'final story' of the making of

did an outstanding job. I’ll do an official unveiling video soon with a live chat. Let’s see how that will go!

Nothing more proof that human garbage exists when some fuck muppet on twitter makes fun of someone who’s actually trying to accomplish something.

Quake 2 was released. Sadly, i don't have many pictures from the area but i still have the original
@pcgamer
from that month. It was special because it was my first professional mention, with it being my first gig ever. (w/ master OST burn)
Another Quake 2 fact: Sonic Mayhem was never a band. It was (and still is) believed to be but truth is, in the 90s it was lame to use ones real name. Nothing more to it. It was cool at the time.

MAGA truth. haha. What a troll. sure, the lawyer with all cards will go to jail. Is that MAGA logic? Or are you just stupid? Maybe both? Either way, soon your fascist leader will be in jail. bye bye ass hat.
So guys, this is it! The last 100 CD copies of the Quake 3 Arena soundtrack! There will be no re-runs of this. So after the last copies are sold, you have a collectors item. If you want me to sign it, please mention that in your order!
YouTube for composers is poison. You have 19 years old telling you "Stop doing xxx". You have another "producer" who never produced anything but has 100k followers giving advice. "The only 2 plugins you should use". I mean, stop it. Its all BS. Figure shit out yourself. Be you.

How did i get that Q2 job? Well WHAT a story.
In early 1997, one night im sitting in front of MIRC chat. For those kids who dont know, MIRC was the most popular chat client for windows back then. There were servers and rooms. id software had one.
@VicBergerIV
This guy is vile. He is literally human garbage. If it hadn't been for social media giving this abomination a platform he would still sit in his tiny basement screaming to himself. Actions have consequences. Fuck this asshole.
Fun fact: A lot of people did not know back when that you could just pop the

CD into your cd player and listen to the tracks. Quake had the same. It was Redbook audio starting on track 2, since 1 was the game data. :)

Ah we doing this every year now? 28 f years. Where did time go? I remember having the shareware early. I recall me first entering an active server. It freaked me out. Music ruled. Without this game i would prob not be where i am today.....

vinyl love. Good to know that something I did 25 yrs ago still has some relevance today. BTW I'll be releasing a fun lil new track for free tomorrow. Not Quake related just something i did last year before finishing distant waves of analog shores
I jumped onto that id channel and saw that one of the id guys were online. I send a private message request just out of pure instinct and asked if they had a composer for Q2 yet. He said no and so we prepped a demo and after 2 weeks i got the call. Rest is history.

HE still doesnt get it. Its not about being Political or right vs left. Its about that he lied and defended a liar on a daily basis. I blame the producers for the rotten show. This dude surely isn't a star by any means. Just rot in hell you piece of shit.

This exactly the problem with Bernie. Its either his way or the highway. People are stupid on both sides. Staying home and its YOU who will be at fault for giving that crook another 4 years. Get over yourselves.
Finally, after 2015 “Doomsday”, Sonic Mayhem will return with a new artist release in 2024, pushing the boundaries of electronic music once again. It will be raw and a return to form. Stay tuned.

@BetoORourke
The problem isn't what he said 30 years ago, its people like you. JUST joining twitter to post this shit. If ur so outraged about Beta then read the Mueller report. I think you will be shocked to find what your criminal in the WH has done. A lot worse than this shit. Go home.
Treat for all Quake music fans: I always get a lot of questions about the gear we used. With help from the internet archive, I found a detailed list from the Quake 3 era 1999-2001, down to the GTR strings i used:):
Alyx Vance? G-Man? City 17? Headcrabs?
Inject all that Half-Life goodness directly into your veins with the new Half-Life Alyx Official Announcement Trailer.
Pure memories of being introduced to this game by my Uncle when it came out, I'd have been 7 at the time, it's been one of my fave soundtracks ever since, to own it on vinyl now is such a good feeling! (The metallic cover is a nice touch) -

Thanks to everyone for the kind words yesterday on celebrating 25 years of Quake 2. Means a lot. Still pushing forward. Great things coming in 2023!

After re-watching the Matrix, i realized that they don't make music like that anymore. When it was released it def influenced our work on Quake 3 as well. It's just so good. Man, I miss the 90s....
If you think musicians make money off Spotify - youre mistaken. The only people who make money is the CEO and the company. I've always said this - its nothing more but legalized stealing. If you wanna support your fav artist, buy their works off sites like

Rubio, you are such a vile piece of shit. You only care about ur own sorry ass. How does someone like you get elected is beyond me. Fuck u a million times.

Why are these people so obsessed with controlling women's healthcare and acting like they doing everyone a favor? But saving our kids from gun violence? Nahhh lets just "pray". Im sick of these christofascist.

story. How old where you when you first played it and did it get you into the genre or may e more? I’d love to hear about it….
Since the Official Deus Ex mankind Divided OST is missing from various digital media outlets, I've uploaded my portion of the score to my soundcloud until we fix the release:

III Arena, joining Unreal Tournament in establishing the genre of Multiplayer Arena Shooters.
With games in the genre having come and gone, what would you say was a thing that only Q3A did right?
Right around the time I started to work on Quake 3 Arena, in 1999, I had released my first sample CD. "Noize Loops" sold quite well and was rated 9/10 in Future music. Its still available as a digital download in my store. The CD even had a warning on them :)

Quake 2 Standard Edition: traditional black LPs are still available. We worked hard to make these a reality so if you haven't please pick up a copy ;)
Yes, it's shipping soon and evidently it turned out to be a beauty. I will do a live stream in Feb when back in LA, doing some giveaways and answering questions you may still have and all things game music. If you haven't ordered yet:
Finally almost wrapped up an new game project. These silly NDAs of course. But I can say this: There some blade runner vibes, some 80s...and it’s an RTS game. Bucket list check! More news soon..
Good news
@DeusEx
fans. Looks like the soundtracks from both myself and Mike will be back on streaming media soon. Keep an eye out for them. And thanks for your patience.
Wow the you tube views of Quad Machine and Decent have been through the roof due to including them in Doom Eternal! I very appreciate everybody is so fond of that soundtrack. I'd love to share more about what it was like working on this back then. Any online zine interested?
@davidhogg111
Like i said before. You cant meet in the middle with people like these. There is zero argument to be made that any of these people have an intellect thats worth compromising with. Just deport them.
What a decade its been. Mass Effect, Tron, Deus Ex, The long Dark, Doomsday and among others. 2020 marks the release of my Doomsday follow up. Its angry, loud and full of Angst. Think of Downward spiral meets Atari teenage riot. Cant wait to share more...
