In 2011 I started browsing the latest graphical/sound quake mods, putting together a pretty build using LordHavoc's darkplaces, rygel's ultra textures packs, the reforged packs and a variety of mods, to play quake original. Anyone can do the same, however the hassle comes when you have to browse the quakeone forums, stumbling to find the posts which detail what cvars and what configs/files you have to overwrite etc in order to get each mod to work. I literally spent as much time getting the mods working as playing the game. So I put together a nice-looking build of quake original and it's expansions called epsilon for everybody to get into, without getting into the hassle of config files and searching to find every available mod then getting them to work! The main quake build also includes the original shareware first quarter of the quake game - it is easily upgraded to the full game by dropping in the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files from the full game's id1 directory (more details below).

Post news Report RSS Spotify soundtrack release + new soundtrack release + other

The soundtrack for More Dimensions got released on itunes/Spotify/etc last year, but I totally forgot to mention it. Also, a few other bits of news. No new Quake releases though.

So the soundtrack for More Dimensions came out on Spotify last year: link

As well as on Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer etc etc etc.

A reminder of what that sounds like:

That about does it for the Quake news. I have incidentally released another album which is some of the better tracks from the 'Arcane dimensions' soundtrack, as well as some of the tracks which I was working on at the same time as the Arcane Dimensions soundtrack, here on Spotify.

As well as on Apple music etc.

It's more in the electronica genre than the industrial/ambient/metal mix of More Dimensions.


Lastly, thought I would note, for all the budding recording artists/mixers out there, I have a youtube channel called 'Mixing for Chumps', where I cover really base-level mixing topics such as EQ and compression etc, from more of a descriptive 'talking heads' perspective:

Youtube.com

There's about 20 videos so far, and more to come.

That's all from me, hope y'all are safe out there with all the madness. BTW, played Doom Eternal recently, didn't like it, but the music is amazing. Mad props to Mick Gordon (who, incidentally, told me I 'nailed it' when I sent the More Dimensions soundtrack to him. Never felt so chuffed before in my life).
