Mick Gordon to Bring Doom Soundtracks to Radar Festival Using Custom Analog Rig

Mick Gordon, composer of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal (2020), will headline the Radar Festival in the UK next summer and perform his trademark heavy sound live. He built a custom analog effects and audio-routing rig to create the aggressive, harmonically dense textures heard in those soundtracks. Gordon describes his process as uncovering music that already exists and says he ends involvement after delivering audio files, crediting fans for his work’s continued life.

• Gordon will headline Radar Festival in the UK next summer and intends to perform his Doom material on stage.
• He designed and built a custom analog effects and audio-routing rig to turn brutal source sounds into layered, harmonically rich textures.
• Gordon frames his creative approach as that of a "musical archaeologist," uncovering and polishing music he believes is inherent to a project.
• After exporting final audio files to developers he stops working on integration; he credits fans for sustaining his soundtracks and has guested on Gareth Coker’s Absolum album.
