Bad Guys Get Dead

Retro-inspired computersounds for inspired retropersons.
A soundtrack for the end of the world.

Multimedia producer, technologist and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Pittsburgh PA. Bad Guys Get Dead brings cinematic electronic music with a distinct reverence to nostalgia.

With darkened skies in the daytime, the city has not had rest in years. Hollow skyscrapers loom, emblazoned with the scars of long-cooled structure fires from the great fragmentation. A renegade human technologist seeks to unite the remaining humans in an uprising against the machines.

Bad Guys Get Dead is a multi-instrumentalist and multimedia producer hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Bringing dramatic and cinematic electronic music with a distinct reverence for nostalgia, expect a wide range of genres and timbres. Many of Bad Guys Get Dead’s artworks pull inspiration from video gaming and classic science fiction concepts.

The debut album Magmasquid3D (Original Game Soundtrack) alludes to the golden age of 16 bit videogaming, while singles like The Treatments and The Man Machine and the Phosphor EP pay homage to the cyber horror and realities of runaway technology. Most compositions have a particular lean towards the dystopian, with a tendency to build tension using film score structures.

A soundtrack for the end of the world.

Launch price: $500.00!?

When this record initially released, I had deployed a hidden raspberry pi computer, loaded with an amnesiac self-erasing operating system somewhere out in public.

This device seeded the album files for you to download for free on the Peer to Peer network BitTorrent. (See the website for the torrent and magnet links, if you still want to grab it that way.)

It took many fans/friends to keep this project alive in that fashion, as this device was designed erase itself if it's tampered with or powered off. It was pretty well hidden, but would not come back if discovered.

We did it. Music lovers from all over the globe found the files and shared them, enough of them that after one month of not being discovered, I was able to return to the hiding spot and recover the device. Please see attached photo if you want to see the now blank Resistor Amnesiac Device!

(don't worry, I bought a bunch of product from the location the day i deployed it to offset the small amount of electricity it would use.)

We did it, Thank you for your support. Please enjoy Resistor, it's yours now.
