Mick Gordon

I discovered Mick Gordon when I finished a video game and noticed his name smack as the lead composer for the soundtrack. For the most part he’s made the soundtracks for many games, but has songs and tracks from many genres. Some game soundtracks which are most notable are Need For Speed, DOOM (reboot) and the Wolfenstein series. He’s an Australian composer who excels at setting the mood and atmosphere perfectly and really through mixing. Each song or soundtrack for a game fits what it should perfectly, and for something like DOOM is just violent metal throughout. While it’s good to listen to a specific mood to match how you’re feeling, I’ve found that I can listen to a 9 string guitar blast into my ears while doing very casual homework.
