“Gaia’s members have been speculating about zOMG!fest for several weeks now, so we are psyched to engage them in a whole new zOMG! experience,” said Dave Georgeson, senior producer/creative director of zOMG!. “Thanks to Jeremy Soule, zOMG! has an incredibly strong music component, which the users rave about. We are thrilled to be working with a brilliant composer who has an outstanding resume of in-game tracks.” In response to popular demand by Gaians, members can now purchase a soundtrack of the music heard throughout zOMG!.
