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 […]
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.
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. […]
Audio EXP: Power-hungry necromancers and BrainWebs
Geek Native’s sound focused Audio EXP makes a return this month. This month we’ve got the first book from Marc Turner’s The Chronicles of the Exile When the Heavens Fall, Douglas E. Richards’ sci-fi BrainWeb and James Cambias’ military sci-fi Corsair. As an added bonus and perhaps for a limited time only a link to […]
It’s the Ultron Funk
Bruno Mars is popular for parody and with Ultron Funk Screen Team reminds us why that song is worth the effort. The video, as per usual, was created by Angie Griffin and Chad Nikolaus and you can see more of their work over at Screen Team Show.
The Game of Thrones “Dumb Ways to Die” edition
Here be spoilers. Have you seen the original “Dumb Ways to Die” video? So many folk have. This isn’t our first paraody either; there’s also a Portal version of the famous Aussie safety video. This Game of Thrones version of Dumb Ways to Die comes out in time for the return of the series on […]
Dark Lord Funk: “Uptown Funk” parody
Better than most Harry Potter themed parody songs. KFaceTV have proper costumes, solid effects and a strong piece of writing with this one. Top that off with some dance moves and singing. Sweet. Dark Lord sweet.
Sony backs high school guitar band
Does a Japanese all-girl high school band sound like the stuff of anime to you? K-On, perhaps? That’s 3 sets of drums and 5 guitars for the band. They’re called 五五七二三二〇, which I’m told is pronounced, “go go nana ni san ni rei”. I believe the band are actual high school girls. The song is […]
The Harp Twins take their talents to Star Wars
It’s been a while since we’ve covered the Harp Twins on Geek Native. The first track in this Star Wars collection works very well on harps, I think, and the costume change once you’re a minute in is quite something! My favourite in the collection is the familiar Star Wars melody in the third clip. […]
