Hi there. My name is Erik Peabody, and I want to make music for your project. I've been a guitarist for sixteen years, and have been involved in recording and audio production for over ten years. My emphasis has always been on emotional, heavy music, with strong motifs and infectious melodies. However, I also love sparse, subtle compositions, and am comfortable working with these themes across many genres and styles. I hold myself to high standards of professionalism and integrity in all areas of my life.
Under the pseudonym Viking Guitar, I've been covering and rearranging video game music since 2008. I also run Viking Guitar University, a free online resource for budding guitarists and recording artists. I have had the opportunity to perform and collaborate with some incredible musicians in the game remix scene, as well as contribute to compilations such as Harmony of a Hunter, Spectrum of Mana, and Vampire Variations.
TESTIMONIALS
"Working with Erik has been fantastic for Dead Pixel. He continues to deliver assignments in a timely manner. Erik has wonderful communication skills and easily understands any direction that might be thrown his way. We expect to do business with him for as long as we exist!"
- Ravi Jayant, Dead Pixel Entertainment
"Erik produced an amazing soundtrack for Dungeon Hearts. The quality of the score has been a talking point in every game review I’ve encountered. Erik was easy to work with and remained enthusiastic throughout the entire project. He was a cheerleader for the game as much as a musician, from helping test the game to live-streaming it for his followers. Also, I’ve heard he has a secret sixth finger on each hand just for shredding."
- Chris Pavia, Cube Roots
"Erik previously contributed to an album I directed called Harmony of a Hunter, a Metroid fan-arrangement album to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Metroid videogame franchise. Working with Erik was a pleasure. He always responded to my messages, was open to making changes and even collaborated with others. He always kept me in the loop with how things were going. He is a superb, high quality musician who is reliable, trustworthy and someone who can be counted on. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again."
- Darren Kerwin, Project Director, Harmony of a Hunter
"Erik was more than willing to provide me with guitar tracks on songs for my Dungeon Hearts soundtrack. I was impressed by how quickly he worked. He completely nailed it - exactly what I wanted. Definitely a great guy to work with and I know I'll be coming back to him if I ever need some immaculate shreddage."
- Sam English, Composer
"I worked with Erik during the Spectrum of Mana project, where he contributed both musically and in building our websites. He is extremely proficient as a musician and for all tracks he had ownership of, there was never any doubt or micro management necessary for him to complete them. He is easily one of the most talented artists that I know, so giving him total control over what he wanted to create only resulted in the best outcomes.
"For the website, he went above and beyond to learn new methods and techniques in order to create the very ambitious project that we were asking for. This included a management of over 80 different biography pages, and individually linking each artist to their musical projects, websites, and other media. Frequently I would tell Erik, 'if this is too hard, don't worry about it' and he would always deliver, even if it truly was difficult. He worked right up to the last hours before launch, making sure that everything was perfect before we went live."
- Nate Horsfall, Project Director, Spectrum of Mana
"Erik is one of the most professional musicians I have worked with. He has uncompromising quality control over every project he works on, and approaches complicated situations with a great headstrong ethic and enthusiastic resolve. Oh, and he took me to a rad pizza place once"
- Jesse Bishop, Street Cleaner
"Viking Guitar (Erik Peabody) is a phenomenal guitarist and musician who would be a great addition to any team. His technical knowledge of his instrument has helped immensely in shaping and improving previous works of mine. Erik continuously provides tracks in a responsive manner, each with his own sense of unique creativity. If you're in need of a guitarist, the choice is obvious."
- Christopher Foss (Pyro Paper Planes)
"Working with Erik on the 'Chiptunes = WTFLOL' release was an absolute blast and a real pleasure; I'm honestly looking forward to the next time we work together. Mostly because he has a very pet-able beard sometimes. Although music reasons too. I guess."
- Brandon Hood, President, Chiptunes = WIN
