The Illustrious Portfolio of Trevor Alan Gomes

If you’ve found yourself here, it’s because for whatever reason you want to know what the heck Trevor Alan Gomes does. Well strap in, because it’s gonna be a wild ride (even he doesn’t know what he does, half the time).

Composition

Gonna start with a bang- this is an original composition for the Twitch mini game “Melodicarnage: Toots of Rage”, featuring the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, mixed by William Caleb Parker (Scary Pockets, Vulfpeck):

And now for something completely different: this is the theme song for Trevor’s Twitch channel, featuring the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and numerous Twitch streamers on vocals. It also prominently features Trevor’s terrible film direction/editing (he’s gotten better at it since then, but you still probably shouldn’t hire him to do that):

Fun fact! Trevor is making his own very silly video game, Bitboi’s Grand Adventure, and he’s already started making some of the music for it. Here’s a lovely little village theme featuring the Budapest Scoring Orchestra:

…and a face-slapping level theme featuring Carlos “InsaneInTheRain” Eine on saxes, Eli Bishop on violin, and Dom Palombi on drums (mixed by William Caleb Parker):

Here’s a goofy, over-the-top epic track he whipped up for a one-time Twitch event, featuring the “Trevor Has Too Many Sample Libraries” Philharmonic and the incredible opera baritone stylings of Joshua Alarcon:

Arrangements/Piano Playin’/Albums

Trevor recently had the great pleasure of recording an album with his band, Tournament Arc, that features such heavy hitting guests as Darren Korb and Austin Wintory, but his favorite part of the experience was arranging Snake Eater from Metal Gear Solid and recording it with Donna Burke of Metal Gear Live fame:

One of his favorite professional experiences ever was making the official piano album for the Ori and the Will of the Wisps collector’s edition. While the album doesn’t exist in any publicly available capacity, here’s a fun video he made of one arrangement, complete with gamer chair and LED strips (you work with what you’ve got):

From his commercially released albums, here’s an oldie but a goodie- Wind Scene ~ Yearnings of the Wind from Chrono Trigger, which is currently his most popular track on Spotify:

Game Design

The only thing Trevor loves as much as music is video games, so about six years ago he got into making his own. First up is Melodicarnage: Toots of Rage, a 2D RTS tug of war controlled by viewers via chat commands using Twitch API in which tiny pixel boys battle feline monstrosities led by Catulhu, Lord of the Spoodercats. If that sounds stupid, it’s because it is. Here’s a clip (Trevor made all elements, including music and art):

But most recently, and perhaps most excitingly, Trevor got to develop an entire mini game for Netflix’s Geeked Week 2023 event! Simply dubbed “Character Battle,” it pits six Netflix characters against each other (including Richter from Castlevania and Luffy from One Piece) Mortal Kombat style based on audience selection of characters. It was developed in GameMaker Studio 2 and designed to run transparently over the starting soon screen for their live streams.

Like the previous game, Trevor made all elements of this one, including art (there was no music component, ironically). Here’s a li’l peeksie:

Thanks!

There’s a whole heck of a lot more stuff Trevor has made, but that’s a nice little smattering to get you acquainted. If you’d like to hear/see more, you can explore his Spotify, his Bandcamp, his YouTube (be warned, it gets pretty weird over there), or his artist Instagram page.
