FarmVille Theme Performed by Steve Kirk | the FarmVille Lawn ...
Steve Kirk ( http://www.stevekirkpop.com , http://www.myspace.com/stevekirkpop ), the composer of the theme from the ultra-popular Zynga/Facebook game FarmVille, performs the theme at the FarmVille party on October 8th 2009.
Steve Kirk is a composer, arranger, guitarist and singer. Throughout his work, encompassing everything from multimedia to modern chamber music, he attempts to redefine pop music beyond the confines of contemporary restriction into a world where the odd and beautiful coalesce, acoustic and electric coexist and nothing is too far-fetched.
Born in San Diego, California, Steve grew up with music as the focus of his life from early childhood. Later moves to Seattle and Los Angeles gave him the opportunity to study with a variety of teachers. And there were bands. Lots of ‘em. Prog rock, hard rock, jazz, alternative, swing. The one that really changed it all was Clubfoot Orchestra, the San Francisco-based ensemble that set the standard for live music/original scores performed with classic silent film. Titles like Sherlock, Jr, Nosferatu and Pandora’s Box. Steve not only played with, he consistently composed for Clubfoot, culminating in a mid-nineties stint writing and recording all the incidental music for a Saturday morning cartoon series, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. It’s still running on television in Europe and a DVD of the first season was released in 2002.
More recently Steve composed and recorded the music for five downloadable PC video games: Zodiac, Realms of Gold , Word Spiral, Four Houses and Flying Leo, all developed by Beep Industries. Before that, Steve was the composer on a multimedia project that required that he compose, arrange, prepare scores, individual parts, and finally mix and master over three hours of music for a wonderfully creative game called Voodoo Vince (developed by Beep Industries for Microsoft Games on the Xbox platform) within a period of only six months. The original soundtrack audio CD is available in the music section at Amazon.com, and has received rave reviews.
