Player Piano is responsible for one of my favourite YouTube creations of the year. They covered the Akira theme so well. Now they’ve given us a Tetris cover and asked for Indiegogo support. [Back this Campaign] This is a flexible funding so Player Piano don’t need to hit their target of $60,000 to cash in. […]
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.
Stirling does Dragon Age
Geek favourite Lindsey Stirling is back with a special effects rich Dragon Age video. She’s worked hard to produce videos that are suitable for the YouTube audience and bring her violin music to a wider audience. Just how large is Stirling’s audience? This video has been out 3 days and has had over 2.5 million […]
Music meets Science in Cymatics
This track is from Nigel Stanford’s Solar Echoes. All the experiments you see in it are real. You get to see how sound interacts with items in a bunch of interesting ways. Also; fire.
Portal version: Dumb Ways to Die
If you’ve seen the original Dumb Ways to Die then you’ll recognise the song. You don’t need to have the award winning safety video that was ultimately trying to persuade people not to be stupid around trains to enjoy this remake. You just need to like Portal. At the time of writing nearly 2,500,000 people […]
Player Piano conjure up the Ghost Waltz
I really enjoyed Player Piano’s take on the Akira theme. I watched the video more than once and urge you to do the same. Now they’re back with something spooky for Halloween. Fans should head over to Player Piano on Facebook and follow. The pianist is Sonya Belousova but I think there should be an […]
When the Eclectic Method remixed Ghostbusters
The Ghostbusters turned 30 this year. It’s Halloween. Eclectic Method saw a chance to hit two bats with one pumpkin and released this remix. Expect a thorough remake of the classic, Zuul, the coming of Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.
Best of the best: Game of Thrones western cover
There’s been loads of covers of the iconic Game of Thrones opening tune and you’ll find the best here on Geek Native. This particular one from BenDan Productions is my favourite. I call it best of the best. What did you think? Granted; if you hate Westerns and all that they stand for (Firefly) then […]
Is Pharrell Williams’ anime It Girl too young?
A big artist doing an anime music video? Geek Native will be interested. There’s a twist in this one though – the central character in this video seems especially young. Things to think about; is this just the style of the anime or is she younger than the others and just what is the relationship […]
50 years of Batman in music with 3 awesome cars
This video has been out for less than a week. It’s racing towards 2,000,000 YouTube views and there’s a reason why. Watch it to find out. The Piano Guys always pull the stops out to make impressive YouTube videos. I wonder how much they’ve paid to get access to these three Batmobiles. Which is your […]
Scoobythulhu, no really
It’s a Cthulhu mystery for a bunch of hippies and their dog to solve. Wait, what? Mikey Mason’s describes this mashup as “A bit of fun with an older song”. I think it’s a bit more effort than just a bit of fun. Filed under comedy but it might mess up a few memories.
