G-Man’s Last Breath
New Song and Music Video: This Is Larson
The anticipated new Half Life video game mod, Human Error, will release this week to the world, and along with it, a new song and video titled “This Is Larson“. I’ve been working closely with Au-heppa, the lead game developer, and Phillip Marlowe, the in-game voice talent to record the song. After discussing the vision of the game and song with Heppa, I knew I couldn’t resist the chance to explore the dark side of Half Life and write a song from the point-of-view of the Civil Protection, the human police force that the Half Life aliens use to help subjugate humanity.
Most of you will remember the last Half Life themed song I wrote titled G-Man’s Last Breath. If you haven’t heard it yet you can listen to it on iTunes or the Music Page. Many thanks go to Au-heppa for the opportunity to work on such an interesting project. And to Phillip for always being a pleasure to work with. Be sure to download the game and take it for a spin as soon as it is released. You can find out more information about the game at moddb.com.
So, what do you think?
60 Percent of the Time…
60% of the Time, It Works Every Time
60% is better than 50%, so I’m pleased to report that we’re over half-way there. I’ve finished writing all 5 songs for my third EP and recorded 2 of them. So that leaves 3 songs and a CD cover. Oh, and an album title…I’m planning to knock out recording the rest of the songs by the beginning of June in time for a mid to late June release. The title on the other hand is feeling more elusive everyday.
Any ideas? I could use any and all ideas you’ve got.
Oh, and in the midst of the “G-Man’s Last Breath” craziness last week I almost missed this youtube video by James Peel featuring on screen lyrics .
Rock on.
G-Man’s Still Breathing
My latest song, “G-Man’s Last Breath,” has been getting a lot of attention recently. If you’ve missed the buzz, here are a few posts around the interweb. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and support. This is exactly why the Half Life gaming community is one of the best in the world.
Many of you have been kind enough to spread the word. You can check out Darky’s youtube iteration of the song here or support a Digg by Sullen here.
Thanks again for your thoughts and tips. You can rest assured there will be more music mayhem coming. If you want updates on big announcements, you can sign up for the mailing list here (I don’t bug too much), or get email updates when I blog here. In the meantime, I’ll still be regularly posting and should have a new video up soon. I’m also in the midst of recording my third EP which is slated to come out next month. Stay tuned and rock on.
G-Man’s Last Breath
“G-Man’s Last Breath” is what you get when you mix an extreme fanboy with his favorite thing to do (write music). It’s the direct result of years of playing one of the greatest gaming series in history; Half Life.
You’ll basically need 3 things to fully enjoy this song:
1. To be a Half Life fanboy (or girl).
2. To love and understand the Half Life story.
3. To want to know the the secret behind the story that ties everything together…
If you have no idea what the game’s story is about but would like to enjoy this song, check out this link to get a handle on it. The inspiration for this song came after reading a portion of an interview with Doug Lombardi where he spoke about the next and supposedly last installment of the series; Half-Life 2: Episode Three.
You can download the song for free here on my website or pick it up in any major online store. Let me know what you think!
Update 4/30, 12pm: Due to several requests – check out the link below for lyrics.
