14 years ago I fell in love with a video game. And this remix is my musical love letter of sorts to Warren Spector and the team of people at Ion Storm whose effort, imagination and eerily prophetic vision created what is, to me, the best game of all time – Deus Ex.

It was the story and underlying themes of freedom, power and technology that really pulled me deep into its dark dystopia. Nanotech, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence factor largely into the storyline of Deus Ex, which hints at an incredible future for humanity with these elements playing critical roles.

For this musical tribute, I decided to recreate and remix what I consider the best and most memorable track from the Deus Ex soundtrack, the UNATCO theme. I also took the liberty to blend in a few other musical themes from the game, and I think they fit pretty well. The goal with the song and the video was to capture the mood and feel of the game in a condensed 6 minute trip through gaming nostalgia.

Monolith

The voyager is sailing through the cosmos, with only one goal in mind: to find his home. He has nothing to go off of, of course. It's not like a universal compass exists... 

After a day or two (it's hard to tell when you have no sun to base your time off of), the voyager finds a small planet. When he lands on it, something about it is very familiar. After walking around on the surface for some time, he finally figures it out. This planet is strikingly similar to his planet's own moon, just with a red tint. 

Eventually, he comes to the conclusion that he isn't accomplishing anything by walking around on this planet, so he leaves -- but not before leaving behind one of the small tracker probes that the ship carries.

Founded in 2018, Von Kaiser doesn’t just want to remember the music, movies and video games of the 1980s, they want to celebrate it. With their most recent album “Animals”, Von Kaiser has created a vocal synthwave album that travels between the darkness of post apocalyptic futures, the innocence of high school prom dances, and the freedom of cruising the open road.
