Two Games Joined

A music project that either covers songs from popculture - mostly video games - or does original songs inspired by these modern works. Often with lyrics, mixing topics from source material with personal experience. No set genre, but usually heavy. Call it "post-nerdcore," if you will.

Another lyric video that’s been long overdue just hit YouTube, meaning all music involving Two Games Joined is now available for individual listening on YT! This is, so far, the only Two Games Joined track that’s credited to another artist as well. Indeed, this piece was assembled from two very different takes on the original Shadow Temple track, and though they’ve been merged into one song, there’s a distinct difference that separates it into two movements. Listen for yourself, if you haven’t yet. This lyric video also doubles as a “traditional” music video, the first since Beyond back in 2016.

Secant Prime's "Dominion / Tool 'n' Die" double single / EP out now on Ohm Resistance, featuring mashup mixes of the two tracks, including Parallaxing Mix by Two Games Joined!

The TGJ Parallaxing Mix is a mechanical, trippy overture that goes over 7 minutes long and is reminiscent of demoscene classics. You'll hear metal clanging, guns cocking, alien creatures screaming over a relentless and heavy trip-hop beat, with some chiptune flair.

Here's a quote from Secant Prime about this release:

"In the simplest terms I am that which you are not. If you are not there, we exist and flourish within that absence. There is no air and no light and stunning beauty all the same. Learn to exist in the dark without fear and you will begin to understand. The precision of Fibonacci is written within you. The perfect ratios of your cochlea allow me to share my message. Let us begin.

Universal language is math. Universal understanding is music. The seed we left within your earth some millenia ago have become deeply anchored within your psyches and culture. Engrained within your very cells. The next phase has already begun.

I am pleased you have advanced in both. We have provided some abstract communications based on the equations presented, listed under Ambients and Wavelets. Theta was less abstract, based on many of the sounds you have on earth. This was to bridge the gap between your musical language and mine. We will continue to send you transmissions, hopefully it will advance your knowledge. The next is a series of primes expressed in equations you have already identified."

New remix by Two Games Joined coming July 1st! Secant Prime is bringing a collection of "Dominion" & "Tool 'n' Die" mashups/manipulations on Ohm Resistance label. The TGJ Parallaxing Mix is a mechanical, trippy overture that goes over 7 minutes long and is reminiscent of demoscene classics. Set your cloud-regulated reminders!

TEAR GAS finally out

STREAM / DOWNLOAD HERE: https://twogamesjoined.bandcamp.com/album/tear-gas

An original song dedicated to all video game-loving women and uterus-having AFAB folk who are forced to struggle with sad old men trying to take away their control over their own bodies.

This song was assembled from an abandoned 2011 side project, then sat in the cooker for over a year again as I struggled with my own personal demons. Sadly, the old lyrics didn't need many changes to adapt to the current reality. Final version is largely inspired by the 2020-2021 women's strike protests in Poland against the expansion of anti-abortion laws.

All proceeds raised by this single will be forwarded to Kobiety w Sieci (Women on the Web), a non-profit organization that helps Polish women with access to abortion. This will be done manually, due to the way Bandcamp income works. You can read more about KwS and support them directly at www.maszwybor.net

Polish rock radio EskaROCK posted an article about Machine Driven Sun's new album, and they not only mentioned our remix of "Black Widow", but also took a moment to explain who we are!

[twogamesjoined]

New remix available on Machine Driven Sun's newest album, "Spiral"! The Two Games Joined remix of "Black Widow" cranks the industrial side of the band's sound up to 11 by replacing live drums with a heavy-hitting beat and chopping up even more distorted electric guitar, all sprinkled with a dash of retro-feeling demoscene modtracker flair.

Street Fighter III “Jazzy NYC ‘99″ cover by Automatic Sam feat. Gnegon Galek

One more guest appearance by Gnegon Galek, this time an old-school rapping section in Automatic Sam's cover of "Jazzy NYC '99" from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike! The lyrics are all-new, written by Gnegon himself. Listen here:

And here are the new lyrics:

Yo, stay Out of my zone 'cuz you're playing with fire Try to land your jump and I'll juggle you higher I got a strong battle tendency, try it Fight or flee 'cuz the street is a riot Fist in your face down the middle lane axis Praxis in the field of giving epistaxis Relax bitch, that's a nosebleed what I'm saying I held back like Oro but now I'm done playing

Phase three of my attack on your eardrums Fear none of your rules 'cuz they're for dum-dums Assholes telling me to set apart Video game shit and "real life" arts Bro, you for real? 'Cuz I'm real as hell Fight in the 'hood with my gamepad as well As with my voice and my banner when those Fuckers in charge try to reach in my clothes

Came down from the battle highway and it's my day 'Cuz today we bring it to the streets I got my cause and a chill funky beat Everyone's here pumping fists, stomping feet And if you still don't get what I'm on about Have a test taste of my leftie clout A Morpheus kiss from my fucking fist Crossing you out from the tournament list

And you don't get a continue
