The Music of DOOM

Support Night Clerk Radio on Patreon In this episode, we’re talking about the classic music of the DOOM video games, focusing on the work of Bobby Prince in 1993 and Mick Gordon in 2016. Not only did both composers produce memorable and compelling soundtracks for their respective games, they did so under very different market and technological conditions. We talk about these changing conditions and how they manifest in each soundtrack.References and Additional LinksMasters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture by David Kushner Do Androids Dream of Computer Music?DOOM - SCARYDARKFAST by Dan PinchbeckBobby Prince, composer of DOOM & DOOM 2 Interview with QuartercirclesThe Sound Design Of DOOM - Exclusive Q&A with ADSRSatanic figures are hidden in Doom's soundtrack - The VergeHow the ‘Doom’ Soundtrack Was Made Will Melt Your Puny Mortal Mind in ViceRip & Tear: Deconstructing the Technological and Musical Composition of Mick Gordon's Score for DOOM (2016)DOOM: Behind the Music at GDCMusical inspirations behind Doom's music at Doomwiki.orgDOOM: Behind The Music Part 1DOOM: Behind The Music Part 2The INSANE Rhythms of Doom Eternal | Jazz Pianist ReactsCreditsMusic by: 2MelloArtwork by: Patsy McDowellRoss on TwitterBirk on TwitterNight Clerk Radio on Twitter
