CounterStrike Music Kits
Nerdtracks has participated in 2 different CS:GO music kits designed by composer Dren McDonald. You can read more about the introduction of the kits OVER HERE>>>>Other artists released in the first pack include Austin Wintory, Skog, Daneil Sadowsky, Sean Murray, Feed Me, Robert Allaire, Sasha, and Noisa.
SERVICES and SKILLS provided by NERDTRACKS
- Music Composition and Production
- Music Mix and Mastering
- Dynamic Interactive Music Design (according to detailed specs provided by Valve Software)
The kits were created to allow players the ability to customize their game including a new MVP anthem that plays at the end of a match. Death's Head Demolition ( the first kit we did) is an over the top, super-hero, metal inspired batch of music..."Don't be PUNY...Be DEADLY!" Available from within Counterstrike: Global Offensive.
Artwork for this release was created by Cody Miles and the voice over work on the trailer was done by Nils Frykdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum & Faun Fables. Nils also provided the lead role in TIGTONE, several voices in the game Skulls of the Shogun and the pirates in the game Scurvy Skallywags.
MASTERMINDS Music Kit & Gunman Taco Truck
In April 2020 Valve released a new collection of custom music for CS:GO called the Masterminds Music Kit, including a lot of terrific composers' work...this included excerpts from Dren's score for Gunman Taco Truck !
The composers involved even did a little roundtable discussion (ala Zoom) between all of the composers, discussing our work on this project which you can check out here:
The collection of music from the Masterminds Music Kit was also released as a soundtrack which you can listen to on digital streaming platforms. Here's the Spotify link.
Here's a video that Valve released about the CS:GO Train Reintroduced which uses our music (from CS:GO's Deaths Head Demolition)
