Hi! Listen to my music at my Bandcamp and Newgrounds profiles!

An original Amiga demoscene oldskooler and current video games composer, the name TDK was originally active in the early 90’s writing catchy and melodic chiptunes for the likes of Anthrox, Crystal and Melon Dezign. Having 'retired' from the scene in 1993 I went on to write the music for such games as Wing Commander (Amiga), Duke Nukem Total Meltdown, Populous: The Beginning and Dungeon Keeper 2.

The advent of the CD-Rom format, and therefore music licensing, threatened my role as a composer so I moved into sound design within my favourite video game genre, driving games.

As a self confessed petrol head, working for Codemasters from 2008, I headed up the audio team on the DiRT, Formula 1 and GRID franchises until 2015 I went 'full circle' back to composition and wrote the OST for F1 2015. Since then, I've penned the soundtracks for Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, the Indie game D/Generation HD - which I originally worked on in 1993, and F1 2016. After finishing F1 2017, I started my own audio production company, SONiC FUEL.

Never leaving the chip sound behind, 'TDK' was brought out of retirement at the end of 2012 with the release of my first album, Reawakening, and I've since fused my love of chip with my passion for the electric violin to perform a unique chiptune-violin set at SuperByte 2013, Chipfest, and Nintendoom 3.0. 

I'm now back writing in a number of different styles, but perhaps my main love of 70's analog synths may take charge of what I write.

Either way, TDK is back! Flit Kills Moths is back! (until Esso sue for brand copyright).

One final thing; if you enjoy what you hear please consider purchasing one of my albums on Bandcamp for little more than a cup of expensive High Street coffee. Thank you :)

JOI VEER

BIOGRAPHY

Silence and space will flurry into controlled mayhem like a whisper to a scream…
       ~  Joi Veer

Joi Veer has many musical influences ranging from early favorites such as Peter Gabriel, U2, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Graham Parker, Goo Goo Dolls, Pearl Jam, and Alanis Morissette to modern contemporaries Maroon 5, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Snow Patrol, Paramore, Blackbear, Adele and 21 Pilots.

Joi Veer’s new album “Extreme Stories” is his 7th release and is a collection of 10 of his most diverse, uplifting, and adventurous vocal songs to date, ranging from alternative and adult-contemporary pop and modern rock tracks.  This album is an extension of his previous album in composition, but with a totally different twist on production, again with Producer-Multi-Instrumentalist Andre Fratto.  It’s a musical journey of total transformation which speaks volumes on a personal level as well as global.  Officially dropped on February 3, 2023, the opening track “I Feel” from “Extreme Stories” was a Semi-Finalist for the Song Of The Year competition, and all tracks are already doing very well on Spotify and other major music streaming platforms.  He is currently in pre-production for new songs which will surely add a new dimension to his already diverse catalog of music.

Joi Veer’s previous album “Beauty and Madness” is his 6th release and is a collection of 11 of his boldest and most unique vocal songs to date which feature guitar and keyboard-driven alternative pop and modern rock tracks.  This album marks a clear and intentional departure from any of his previous albums in composition, production, and with a new team (Joi and Producer-Multi-Instrumentalist Andre Fratto).  Officially dropped on Sept. 17, 2021, “Beauty and Madness” is already being embraced by the music for TV community across multiple genres as well as music streaming platforms.

Other albums by Joi Veer are “Present Day” (3 Remix Singles also from this album), “Undertones”, “Unsung”, “Pearl Diving” and “On” all of which have had major and multiple placements in American and International television shows, sports events including 3 Olympics Games, and on YouTube.

ARTIST PROFILE

It is the song that drives this artist.  Never bound by “formula,” Joi Veer’s music explodes through his gravitation to the guitar as his main songwriting tool.  His background in drumming and keyboards give him a keen awareness of rhythm, percussion, and texture which bubble beneath his signature vocals.

The human experience and condition are his most fascinating palettes.  The interaction, perspective, and behavior of people are the substance of his lyrics which are woven through the fabric of infectious melodies.  His songs are dynamic, diverse, and lyrically and musically engaging.  Whether statements of emotion or a testimony to Joi’s life experiences, the result is an extension of himself through brutally honest written songs delivered with conviction.  Joi constantly dares and re-defines his artistic license.

I grew up in Victoria and one day decided to teach myself to compose music. I also write and draw comics.
