It’s the famous Star Wars opening theme with a rock twist. The band even have a Facebook page at @Galatic Empire Official with nearly 45,000 followers, some extra photos and posts to catch up on. Would you put Boba Fett on the drums? Makes more sense than asking the Stormtrooper to do it, I suppose… […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.

The Elements, Expanded
Think you know your elements? You should listen to Marian Call’s “The Elements, Expanded” for a geeky catch up Fun Singles in Your Area by Marian Call I love what Call has done here, taking Tom Lehrer’s classic and adding loads of geek goodness. You can buy her full album for not very much money.
The Piano Guy’s chillax the Jurassic Park Theme
There’s nearly 4 million people subscribed to The Piano Guy’s YouTube channel and at the time of writing nearly 2 million have watched this video. Despite being a more relaxed version of John William’s now iconic tune this piece really takes me back. The video is set in Crawdad Canyon and you may get to […]
Everything To Me is out of this world
This is the official music video for Calvin Cardioid’s “Everything to Me”. It’s featured here on Geek Native for the sci-fi animation care of Phillipp Feigenbutz. The animation uses markerless motion capture from iPi Soft. Pretty neat stuff.
Short film: The Curse of the Sad Mummy
A musical animation – of sadness. https://vimeo.com/122721729 Our sad Mummy is Amumu from Riot Games’ League of Legends. The developer wanted to explore the character a little more and decided to contrast the slightly comical appearance of the large headed mummy with somber and sad lyrics. Does it work for you? Will you look at […]
Travel to Mars with Jamie xx and Gosh
This music video from UK based Jamie xx is all about the colonization of Mars. I imagine it’s a bit like the trip to Mars in that most of the video is taken up with the journey but once we get to the planet and start to work our charms there’s an incredible pay off. […]
