Game Score Sneak Peak!

If you head on over to the Grim Dawn website, you’ll have a chance to check out music I’ve been writing for the upcoming PC game by Crate Entertainment.

Music that is featured is still in the hasn’t-been-mixed stage, but regardless, you’ll get a good idea of the ambience and pulse that will be the atmosphere of the game. Instrumentation revolves around brooding electric guitars and reverbed out flutes.

If all goes according to plan, we’ll have a release sometime this year. I’ll be keeping on with the updates.

My Name on Blogs

steve — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 04:22:59 +0000

Looks like my name is popping up in a some reviews and articles on VidRhythm these days.

From Kotaku, Kirk Hamilton writes:

“All the options are goofy fun, from “D-O-G-S” and “Say my Saxy Name” to “Miami,” a sultry jam that certainly made me remember my time in steamy south Florida. (…well, sort of.)”

“…inevitably, the songs that VidRhythm assembles are bizarre and totally hilarious. It gets even better when a group of people gets involved; for a case in point, see the Hamilton family rendition of Steve Pardo’s “D-O-G-S” up above.”

And in an interview with Kill Screen Magazine, Harmonix Creative Director Josh Randall said some nice words:

“I think you’ll notice that a lot of songs on the app are by Steve Pardo. And his stuff is just awesome; he really managed to figure out the aesthetic of the app went crazy with it. I think he somehow has a natural ear for this stuff.”
