Composed by Rod Abernathy and Jason Graves, music from Dead Head Fred, is now available for purchase from Apples iTunes online store. Soundtrack represents excellent capture of in-game gloomy atmosphere, and features jazz, southwestern guitar, ambient, rock fusion and other styles. Soundtrack consist of fifteen different tracks, with over fourty minutes of music for your enjoyment.

Adam Cogan, Game Designer, Vicious Cycle Software, Inc.
When we went to Rednote Audio we already knew a lot about Dead Head Fred and Hope Falls but we didn’t know what Fred’s world sounded like. Luckily, Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves at Rednote Audio did. They far exceeded our expectations and managed to create scores that are every bit as original and distinctive as Fred is.

Mark Reis, Senior Sound Designer at Vicious Cycle Software, Inc.
Working with Rod and Jason is always a joy and their contribution to Dead Head Fred added flavor and depth that complemented the sound design and voice acting. The edgy soundtrack is a perfect accompaniment to the twisted noir world of Dead Head Fred.
