The
Duke Nukem 3D Music Project
Lee Jackson and Robert C.
Prince III (Bobby Prince) wrote the now-beloved
music to the Duke Nukem 3D game in 1994 and 1995.
The main theme song, "Grabbag", is a "I
can name that tune in three notes" kind of song,
and gamers still love it. With the advent of high
quality musical scores via MP3 or OGG, or some proprietary
format, modern gamers are now accustomed to hearing
music that is big, robust and CD quality. The original
Duke Nukem 3D music was in MIDI format only, and
it unfortunately did not age well. As a result,
and with the permission of Lee and Bobby, I made
the decision to create new and improved arrangements
of all the Duke Nukem 3D music, and with new ports
of the now open-source code to Duke Nukem 3D, my
music can now be used in the game itself!
NEWS
I am slowly but surely creating all new arrangements for the entire Duke Nukem franchise, from the first three episodes, to the Atomic Edition, to the Nuclear Winter and Caribbean Vacation add-ons, using a mixture of the East West Quantum Leap Silver, Gold and Platinum Edition professional sound libraries, Voices of the Apocalypse and other professional grade sound libraries. The difference is huge from the original project music from last year. I will have some samples for you soon, but the new tracks will blow you away. I have also added jump menus for you to download the individual tracks, versus the full ZIP packs, so now you have a choice.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated, so email me with your thoughts.

Back in Spring 2004, I completed building a website for the very popular Louisville-based R&B cover band, V-Groove. The new web presence reflects the flavor of the band and will be a solid resource for fans of this outstanding local band, and potential venues looking to book talent of this caliber in the greater Louisville area.If you are on this page, you obviously are interested in music...and if you like really good live bands, check out the V-Groove website and listen to some clips of what they do! Now! Thanks! ;)
Music Requests
I have not had time yet to complete all the music for the additional Duke Nukem 3-D Addons, but I have continued to receive requests to revisit other musical works. Check them out here.
Duke

I am working to complete new
musical arrangements to the Caribbean Vacation add-on
pack. Please enjoy the following track, "Doomsday",
the first track from the Caribbean Vacation add-on
pack. More to come soon!

"Whomp!" Arrangement Available!
The version of Whomp! that
I have provided to date was actually based upon
a pre-release version. The actual in-game version
has now been re-arranged, utilizing my new and improved
professional sound libraries.
