Famed Videogame Music Composer Geoff Follin Passes Away At Age 54

Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, June 1, 2024 - 01:00 PM

Good afternoon, friends; unfortunately, this wasn't the way that I wanted to actually start out this brand new month of June (our actual "formal monthly greetings blog entry" for June will be written up and posted during the course of next week itself). But this definitely needed to be written up for the course of today regarding some very sad news that we've received yesterday that has in no doubt impacted the videogame music fan community at large which includes yours truly as well.

Yesterday, we have received sad news that famed videogame music composer Geoff Follin passed away and went to be with the Lord at the age of 54. As many of you might already know related to our music operations as a whole here (and/or have seen from this respective Acknowledgement list), Geoff Follin was one of the folks responsible for creating the musical scores for Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (LJN/Software Creations) as well as Plok (Tradewest/Software Creations), along with his brother Tim Follin. For my Super Nintendo music styled covers of modern Super Mario game tunes overall, the two aforementioned instrument sets from the Follins have been used many, many times because make no mistake, they were that iconic, along with their respective musical scores for them (as of the date and time of this posting: 86 times for the Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge instrument set, 23 times for the Plok instrument set).

But back to the main point: the official confirmation of Geoff Follin's passing came from his brother, Tim, via a posting on Facebook (which also discloses the cause of Geoff's passing):

We'd like to take a moment to give our heartfelt condolences to all of the Follin family as well as give very sincere thanks to the late Geoff Follin himself for all the major contributions he has made to the videgoame music community at large including scoring all the Super Nintendo games that he was involved with along with his brother Tim (which included, but was not limited to the two games that we have acknowledged for these music operations as a whole here). Geoff Follin will be greatly missed by everyone, but will not be forgotten.
