Michael John Gordon is an Australian composer, record producer, musician, and sound designer who mostly writes music for video games.
Among the first-person shooters for which Gordon has written music are LawBreakers, Wolfenstein, The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Prey, and the 2016 version of Doom.
Gordon began playing the guitar and performing jazz and blues while he was in his teens. He first began working as a sound designer for Pandemic Studios, where he also helped with the sound design for Destroy All Humans. The first season of the 2013 remake of the 1994 fighting video game Killer Instinct featured music composed by him.
The connection between the audience and the experience is what drives Gordon’s music, which, according to his official website, “uses a vast variety of modern musical sound design and traditional composition approaches in order to be unrestrained by any one genre.”
Gordon’s work “considers the role of music as a translation of the reality in which it exists” as opposed to just acting as a simple accompaniment.
