GGHHIIJJKLMMNOPQRSTUWXZ[]_ "$')+.147:> - GNABD_DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! - GAMES MACHINE OCT 1987 : - INTERVIEW WITH BEN DAGLISH 6 - IF ROB HUBBARD IS THE GURU OF GAMES - MUSIC, THEN HE HAS A VERY CLOSE SECOND - IN THE SHAPE OF THE EFFERVESCENT BEN - DAGLISH, GREMLIN'S IN-HOUSE - BEN HAS A LOT IN COMMON WITH ROB - HUBBARD, BOTH IN TERMS OF MUSICAL - BACKGROUND AND BASIC APPROACH TO MUSIC. HE'S ALSO A GREAT ADMIRER OF ROB, - AND THEY CHAT TOGETHER FAIRLY FREQUENTLYABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL AND THE INTRICATE ASPECTS OF MUSIC PROGRAMMING. BEN WAS UPTO HIS NECK IN WORK WHEN WE MET, A - PROBLEM MADE WORSE BY A RECENT TWO-WEEK LAY-OFF - BACK IN THE OFFICE, HE HAS MORE GAMES - TO WRITE FOR THAN EVER. WORKING AT - FRANTIC SPEED, HIS WORDS TUMBLE OUT LIKEA FLUENT DATASTREAM - BEN BEGAN HIS MUSICAL CAREER IN THE - TIME-HONOURED TRADITION: RECORDER - LESSONS AT AN EARLY AGE. HIS PARENTS - WERE VERY KEEN MUSIC FANS, AND COUNTED - RUNNING A FOLK CLUB AMONGST THEIR - MUSICAL INTERESTS. BEN WAS GOING TO - STUDY MUSIC SERIOUSLY BUT DECIDED TO DO MATHS AND PHYSICS 'A' LEVELS, - GAINING A PLACE AT UNIVERSITY. WITHIN A YEAR, HE DECIDED THAT UNIVERSITY WASN'T REALLY WHAT HE WAS CUT OUT FOR, AND SO - RETURNED TO SHEFFIELD. : - BEN HAS PLAYED ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION FORSOME YEARS, GAINING A VERY WIDE - BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC IN THE - LIKE ROB, BEN BEGAN WITH - EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE-SETTING UP A - COMPANY WHILE STILL AT SCHOOL WITH TONY CROWTHER. AFTER DROPPING OUT FROM - UNIVERSITY HE RENEWED HIS CONTACT WITH - TONY AND FORMED A SPECIALIST MUSIC - COMPANY - WE MUSIC - WHICH HE RAN FROM - HOME. FINDING THAT THE BUSINESS SIDE - DETRACTED FROM MUSICMAKING BEN WAS - MORE THAN PLEASED WHEN GREMLIN OFFERED - BEN'S OFFICE-COME-WORKROOM IS WELL - EQUIPPED WITH A COUPLE OF SYNTHS AND - SYNTH MODULES, AN EIGHT-TRACK RECORDER, ATARI 1040 ST AND COMMODORE 64. - THE WALLS HAVE SHEETS OF MANUSCRIPT - PAPER TACKED TO THEM ALONG WITH THE - BRIEF FOR THE GAMES HE IS WORKING ON. - BOUNDING AROUND WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM - BEN LOADS SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF HIS WORK, SOME OF IT USING A MIDI SEQUENCER, AND - LEAPS AROUND THE ROOM, GRABBING GUITARS AND KEYBOARDS TO - FILL OUT THE SOUND - SO WHAT'S THE DAGLISH APPROACH TO - CREATING A GAME SOUNDTRACK? 5 - "I NORMALLY WORK THINGS OUT FIRST ON THEKEYBOARD, DEVELOPING THE BASS,TUNE AND - HARMONY, WHILE WORKING OUT THE GENERAL - MOOD AND STYLE. I MIGHT EVEN USE A DRUM MACHINE TO GET THE RHYTHM PATTERN." - EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN INITIALLY FOR THE SID CHIP IN THE 64 AS THIS OFFERS MORE - SOUND POSSIBILITIES, BUT WRITTEN ON THE ATARI ST - THE ST IS USED AS A MASTER CONTROLLER - RUNNING PLAYER SOFTWARE WRITTEN IN - GREMLIN'S SYSTEM IS THE MUSICAL - EQUIVALENT OF A WORD PROCESSOR: - WHOLE LISTS OF NUMBERS FLASH UP ON THE - DATACODES FOR THE NOTES AND - THEIR SOUNDS. THE ATARI CRUNCHES AWAY - USING A CROSS-MACRO ASSEMBLER TO - TRANSFER THE DATA TO THE 64. THIS WAY - OF WORKING IS VERY FLEXIBLE - "I PLAY A PIECE THROUGH, DECIDE THAT - PARTICULAR SOUNDS AREN'T RIGHT, GO BACK TO THE PLAYER, REFORMAT THE TUNE WITH - THE CORRECTIONS AND REPEAT THE WHOLE - PROCESS AGAIN. OFTEN I GET A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH PROGRAMMING A PIECE AND REALISE THAT I REALLY HATE IT - THIS USUALLY MEANS IF I HAVE TIME I'LL - START ALL OVER AGAIN." : - WHEN THE FINAL VERSION OF A TUNE HAS - BEEN APPROVED FOR INCLUSION IN A GAME - THE ATARI CAN BE USED TO RECORD IT SO - THAT IT WILL RUN ON THE AY-CHIP - COMMON TO THE AMSTRAD, BBC, ATARI, AND - SPECTRUM 128. CLEVER STUFF! BEN - STRESSES THAT HE DOES NOT WRITE HIS OWN PLAYER ROUTINES, RATHER HE DEFINES - WHAT THEY SHOULD BE AND GREMLIN'S - INHOUSE PROGRAMMERS CREATE THE SOFTWARE. ( - "THE NICE THING ABOUT THE PLAYER ROUTINEI'M USING NOW IS THAT I CAN DESIGNATE - REPEATS ANYWHERE I WANT - AND HARDLY - USE UP ANY MORE MEMORY, SO - IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET QUITE LENGTHY, - INTERESTING TUNES OUT OF A SMALL CORE - AS WE TALK,A FAX COMES THROUGH FROM - THE GAME PROGRAMMERS WORKING ON THE - CURRENT PROJECT AND FURTHER LIMITS ARE - PUT ON THE WAY THAT THE MUSIC MUST - BE SPACED IN ORDER THAT THE TV SCAN - LINE WILL RUN. UNFLUSTERED BY THESE - NEW RESTRICTIONS, BEN CONTINUES - "I WISH I COULD PLAY THE KEYBOARD MORE - FLUENTLY (HE SEEMED PRETTY FLUENT - OFTEN I FIND I HAVE TO WORK - THINGS OUT NOTE FOR NOTE AS OPPOSED TO - ANOTHER ONE OF THE - PROBLEMS WITH MUSIC FOR GAMES IS THAT - IT'S NEARLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE HEARD - THROUGH THE HORRIBLE SPEAKERS ON THE - MONITOR OR ON-BOARD THE MICRO. THIS - MEANS AFTER I'VE PROGRAMMED THE MUSIC - THROUGH BIG STEREO SPEAKERS, I HAVE - TO PLAY AROUND WITH VOLUME LEVELS AND - TREBLE AND BASS OTHERWISE IT SOUNDS - REALLY FUNNY WHEN THE GAME IS PLAYED - BY THE PURCHASER." > - WHEN I MET HIM, BEN WAS WORKING ON - THE ALTERNATIVE OLYMPIC GAMES (A - SPOOF ON THE EPYX SPORTS GENRE ! - FOR FURTHER DETAILS CHECK OUT THE - GREMLIN FEATURE EARLIER THIS ISSUE>). - THEME TUNES FOR ALL THE COMPETING - NATIONS WERE ORDERED AND BEN HAD JUST - FINISHED A VERY CATCHY LITTLE NUMBER. + - BEFORE STARTING WORK ON ALTERNATIVE - OLYMPICS BEN HAD HIS FIRST BRUSH - WITH WRITING FOR THE ST, WORKING ON - GALAX. "I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH - THE ST'S SOUND CAPABILITIES", HE - OBSERVES. HE'S ALSO DISAPPOINTED - BY A LOT OF WHAT HE HEARS THROUGH - THE COMPUTER MONITOR SPEAKER - "IT ANNOYS ME THAT THERE IS A LACK - OF TUNES AND IMAGINATION ON MOST GAMES - ALTHOUGH, I ADMIT I AM A GREAT MUSICAL - SNOB!" AND THEN PROCEEDS TO ILLUSTRATE, BY - BY HAMMING UP SOME VERY REPETETIVE - GAMES TUNES ON A NEARBY KAYBOARD. / - "WITH SOME GAMES YOU THINK, MY GOD - THEY'RE NOT REALLY TRYING AT ALL! IT'S - JUST A BLAND SOUNDTRACK, NOISE AS - OPPOSED TO A PIECE OF MUSIC. MUCH OF - THIS TYPE OF MUSIC RELIES ON CLICHES - AND SOUND EFFECTS, BOTH OF WHICH I TRY - TO AVOID. I THINK THE ONLY PERSON WHO - REALLY KNOWS HOW TO USE SOUNDS IS ROB - AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S BEEN A - SYNTHESISER MAN FOR A GOOD MANY YEARS - AND HE KNOWS HOW TO USE SOUND - TOO MANY PEOPLE DISCOVER A WEIRD SOUND - EFFECT AND DECIDE THAT IT WILL DOMINATE THEIR SOUNDTRACK - THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC FOR THE C64 - HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING THOUGH. - WHEN IT CAME OUT NOBODY REALIZED - THAT YOU COULD DO PULSED FADES AND - THINGS LIKE THAT - OR IF THEY HAD, - NO-ONE WAS USING IT EFFECTIVELY." / - IT IS OBVIOUS TALKING TO BOTH BEN AND - ROB THAT THE ERA OF THE Q - MUSICIAN/PROGRAMMER IS NIGH. - MUSIC FOR GAMES,JUST LIKE THE GRAPHICS - IS COMING OF AGE AND THE PUBLIC ARE - VOTING WITH THEIR WALLETS. ROB, BEN AND A FEW OTHERS HAVE SHOWN THE WAY FOR - BOTH INVENTIVE AND IMAGINATIVE MUSIC - THAT IS CATCHY AND WILL STAND ON ITS - OWN; MUSIC THAT CAN LAST FOR SEVERAL - MINUTES BUT DOESN'T FOLLOW THE BORING - OLD PATTERN OF REPETITION. THE CHIPS - USED ON 8-BIT MACHINES ARE BEING PUSHED TO THE LIMIT. IT WILL BE VERY - INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL BE DOING WHEN NEW, SUPER SOUND CHIPS - BECOME MORE COMMONLY AVAILABLE.MY GUESS IS THAT THEY WILL MOVE TOWARDS A MIXTUREOF MANIPULATED SOUND SAMPLES AND HIGH - LEVEL SYNTHESIS. THE RESULTS WILL BE - STUNNING.

*MUSIC DONE BY LARS OF TROOPERS** $10 - -LOCATED BY NOSTALGIA ! * - MORRIS/AGONY!-INTERVIEW 1 WITH ROB HUBBARD 4 - ROB HUBBARD REALLY SEES HIMSELF AS A - COMPOSER OF MUSIC RATHER THAN A 'GAMES - MUSICIAN' - HE HAS WIDE EXPERIENCE OF - WRITING AND ARRANGING MUSIC. ROB - STARTED OUT HAVING MUSIC LESSONS AS A - CHILD, DROPPED OUT OF UNIVERSITY TO - PLAY KEYBOARDS IN A BAND AND WHEN THEY - DIDN'T MAKE IT, WENT TO MUSIC - COLLEGE. ON READING ABOUT THE - IMPRESSIVE AMERICAN MUSIC SOFTWARE FOR - THE APPLE HE DECIDED TO GET A C64 AND - START EXPERIMENTING. < - DISCOVERING THAT HE HAD A FLAIR FOR - PROGRAMMING, ROB PROCEEDED TO WRITE AND MARKET SOME MUSIC EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE. ) - WITH A DIRE LACK OF MONEY (AND - HENCE MOTIVATION) FOR EDUCATIONAL - SOFTWARE, HE DECIDED TO MARKET HIMSELF - AS A SPECIALIST MUSIC PROGRAMMER. / - THE FIRST HUBBARD ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK, - FOR INCENTIVE'S CONFUZION, WAS GREETED - WITH RAVE REVIEWS AND SINCE THEN HE HAS IMPROVED AND HONED HIS TECHNIQUES. - REAL KEY TO ROB'S SU - ESS IS THAT HE IS ESSENTIALLY A MUSICIAN - AND A PROGRAMMER SECOND - IF HE DIDN'T - HAVE TO EARN MONEY THROUGH GAMES - SOUNDTRACKS HE WOULD PROBABLY SPEND HIS TIME PLAYING SOUL, R 'N' B, AND - BLUES ON A HAMMOND ORGAN! 7 - I GOT THE CHANCE TO CHAT TO ROB BEFORE - OF MONTHS TO WORK FOR ELECTRONIC ARTS. - NAME IN THE WORLD OF COMPUTER GAMES - MUSIC AND HAS LED THE FIELD FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WORKING FREELANCE FROM HIS - HOMETOWN OF NEWCASTLE, ROB CAN BE - CREDITED WITH RAISING THE QUALITY AND - REPUTATION OF COMPUTER MUSIC FOR GAMES. ) - HIS ACHIEVEMENTS WITH THE C64'S SIDCHIP ARE LEGENDARY - AND ASTONISHING, GIVEN - THE CONFINES THAT ARE IMPOSED ON HIM BY GAME PROGRAMMERS. ? - GAMES ONLY LEAVE ABOUT 4K OF MEMORY FOR SOUND AND MUSIC SO SOMEPRETTY TIGHT PROGRAMMING IS NEEDED. > - PART OF THE SECRET OF ROB'S SU - ESS LIESIN THE LIBRARY OF SELF-WRITTEN ROUTINES THAT HE HAS BUILT UP - THEY O - OF MEMORY BUT ENABLE HIM TO COAX THE CHIP INTO PERFORMING TO THE FULL. - THE SID CHIP HAS THREE CHANNELS OF SOUNDEACH CHANNEL CAN PRODUCE ONE OF FOUR - WAVEFORMS, WHICH IN TURN GIVES A - DIFFERENT 'COLOUR', AND SOUNDS MAY BE - SHAPED, MIXED AND MODULATED. FROM THIS - RATHER POOR SOIL ROB HAS CULTIVATED - MUSIC EXTRAORDINAIRE, PRODUCING - COMPOSITIONS THAT GIVE THE ILLUSION OF - USING FAR MORE THAN THREE CHANNELS OF - ROB DECEIVES THE LISTENER'S EAR BY - USING SEVERAL TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING - FLIPPING VERY RAPIDLY FROM CHANNEL - TO CHANNEL, INSERTING ROUTINES TO - CHANGE THE SOUND VERY QUICKLY - (CHANNEL ONE COULD BE PLAYING TWO - NOTES OF ONE SOUND, THEN THREE - NOTES ON ANOTHER SOUND AND THEN ONE - NOTE OF A THIRD SOUND, ALL IN RAPID - ESSION) AND 'TOGGLING', ALTERNATING RAPIDLY FROM ONE NOTE TO ANOTHER TO - PRODUCE THE ILLUSION OF CHORDS. 1 - PRAISING PAULA Z - RIGHT NOW HE IS WELL IMPRESSED WITH - PAULA (THE AMIGA'S SOUND CHIP) - "IT'S REALLY AMAZING COMPARED WITH - ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S AROUND AND OFFERS - A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES." 8 - AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, HE IS CURRENTLY - WRITING A PLAYER PROGRAM FOR THE AMIGA - (A PROGRAM THAT ENABLES HIM TO GET TO - GRIPS INTIMATELY WITH DA SOUNDGENERATINGINTERNALS OF A MACHINE). - AS HE WILL BE USING SAMPLED SOUND, THE - PLAYER ROUTINES WILL ALSO ALLOW SAMPLES TO BE MANIPULATED, OPENING UP A WIDE - RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES. HOWEVER, ROB - IS QUICK TO POINT OUT THAT IT'S NOT SO - MUCH A MATTER OF THE FACILITIES YOU - HAVE, BUT MORE A QUESTION OF HOW YOU - USE THEM. HE'S NONE TOO IMPRESSED WITH - GAMES THAT MERELY REPRODUCE SAMPLED, - PRE-RECORDED SOUNDTRACKS AND HE'S - SPENT QUITE A WHILE PERFECTING A WAY - OF INCORPORATING - TACKING IT INTO A GAME IS A BIT OF A WASTE OF TIME AND NOT WHAT I'D CALL CONSTRUCTIVE. - I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE THE IMAGINATION - SHOULD COME IN. - BUT THERE AGAIN YOU U - DON'T WANT TO SPEND AGES GETTING - NOWHERE WITH A REALLY COMPLEX SOUND - CHIP. FOR INSTANCE, INSTEAD OF FARTING - ABOUT WRITING ALGORITHMS TO WORK OUT - ADDITIVE NOTES AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO - GET CHORDS, I CAN JUST SAMPLE THREE - CHORDS FROM A DX SYNTH USING A FUTURE - SOUND SAMPLER THAT FITS INTO THE BACK - OF THE AMIGA. IT'S NOT AN ORIGINAL - IDEA, BUT WHAT'S THE POINT IN USING, - SAY, SILLY DRUMS WHEN YOU CAN USE - SAMPLES MORE IMAGINATIVELY." 4 - SAMPLING FROM A SYNTH ISN'T TOTALLY - STRAIGHTFORWARD, THOUGH - "USING DIGITISED POLYPHONIC CHORDS IS - MOSTLY POT LUCK - SOMETIMES IT WORKS - WELL, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. HIGH - HARMONICS TEND TO CAUSE PROBLEMS, - REALLY STRANGE PROBLEMS Q - WITH THE SID CHIP." - FOR THE MUSIC IN FIREBIRD'S <I>BIG FOUR PACK</I> I USED SAMPLES TAKEN FROM THE - AMIGA AND REWORKED MY MUSIC PLAYER - ROUTINE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO GIVE ME - THREE SID CHANNELS PLUS A DIGITISED - CHANNEL. IF I'M LUCKY I CAN GET AN - OCTAVE AND A HALF OF USABLE SAMPLE. - - "THE SAMPLES CAN BE PLAYED IN ONE OF - TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. I CAN EITHER READ - THEM JUST ONCE AND END (KNOWN AS ONE - SHOT MODE), OR I CAN LOOP THE SAMPLE - SO THAT IT STARTS FROM THE FIRST PART - BUT LOOPS BACK TO SOMEWHERE IN THE - MIDDLE OF THE SAMPLE AT THE SAME LEVEL. ) - THIS GIVES ME A FAIRLY CLEAN - ENDLESS SOUND, ALTHOUGH I CAN MAKE UP - MY OWN WAVEFORMS FOR A SAMPLE IF I - "HEARING SIMON NICOL'S CRAZY COMETS - DEMO WITH DIGITISED SPEECH OVER TOP - I THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL - TRY AND DO SOMETHING A BIT MORE - MUSICAL. BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU - CAN DO WITH SAMPLES ON THE 64 - WITH - THE VERY LIMITED FREQUENCY SPECTRUM, - SAMPLES OF REALLY HIGH NOTES GET - DISTORTED AND YOU'RE RESTRICTED TO - CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS BECAUSE OF FILTER - "THE BIG PROBLEM WHEN DEALING WITH - SAMPLES IS THAT THE EYE AND BRAIN CAN'T COMPREHEND ALL THE DATA. IF YOU SEE A - DRAWING OF THE COMPLETE WAVEFORM - IT'S A MESS. BUT THE EAR - IMAGINE YOU'RE AT A PARTY, AND - THERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE TALKING, - AND THERE'S MUSIC BANGING AWAY IN THE - BACKGROUND - WELL THE EAR'S SUCH A - GOOD ORGAN IT CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN IT ALL. IF YOU COULD SEE SAMPLED DATA - AS THE EAR HEARS IT, YOU COULD DO - WONDERFUL THINGS. - BUT YOU CAN'T VISUALLY R - BREAK DOWN A FULL SAMPLE STRUCTURE, - IT'S JUST LOADS AND LOADS OF BYTES AND - YOU CAN'T APPRECIATE IT AS WELL - AS THE EAR CAN." - "I DID THE MUSIC FOR RAINBOW DRAGON - WITHOUT A SAMPLER, BUT I BOUGHT A - SAMPLER FOR THE BIG FOUR PACK. - I SPENT A WHOLE DAY TRYING TO GET A - GOOD SAMPLE. ONCE I'D GOT FOUR OR - FIVE SAMPLES, I HACKED 'EM ABOUT AND - PUT THEM THROUGH A COMPRESSOR - (AN AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSOR). - IT TOOK ME AN HOUR AND HALF TO WRITE - AN INTERFACE ROUTINE TO DROP THE - SAMPLES INTO MY EXISTING MUSIC ROUTINE. ) - GETTING THE STUFF IN PITCH IS AWKWARD, - SO I USE AN ELECTRONIC TUNER TO GET - THE SAMPLES IN TUNE - ROB APPROACHES COMPOSING IN DIFFERENT - WAYS, AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE - RESULTS HE ACHIEVES IT'S RATHER - SURPRISING TO LEARN THAT HE DOESN'T - BEGIN WITH A MOCK-UP OF A SOUNDTRACK - ON A MULTITRACK TAPE RECORDER. 2 - "AT TIMES I DO SO MUCH WORK THAT I FEEL TOTALLY BURNT OUT FOR IDEAS, BUT - WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE WORK TO DO, YOU - HAVE TO TRY DIFFERENT WAYS OF WRITING. - SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST SWITCH ON THE - MACHINE AND GET SOMETHING GOING STRAIGHTAWAY WITHOUT DOING ANY WRITING TO START WITH. MOST OF THE TIME THOUGH, I SIT AT A (MUSIC) KEYBOARD AND TRY AND WRITE 32 BARS OR SO. - I SKETCH OUT A FEW IDEAS ON - MANUSCRIPT PAPER BUT ALL THE HARD WORK - REALLY GOES IN DURING THE PROGRAMMING. - I OFTEN ADD LOTS OF OTHER IDEAS WHEN I - BUT THEN I'VE GOT - TO LOOK AT ALL THE SOURCE CODE IF I'M - GOING TO CONVERT A PIECE TO RUN ON - SEVERAL MACHINES." > - IT TAKES ROB, WHEN PUSHED, ABOUT A WEEK TO WRITE AND CODE UP THE SOUNDTRACK - FOR ONE GAME, BUT VERY LITTLE TIME IS - SPENT SITTING AROUND - JON BATES / GAMES MACHINE OCT 1987 - END OF INTERVIEW 1 ! RB - INTERVIEW 2 WITH ROB HUBBARD 4 - THE BEST AND MOST SPECTACULAR MUSICS - ON THE C64 ARE MADE BY ROB HUBBARD. - HE GAVE US AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - FOR THE READERS OF HAPPY COMPUTER 7/86 * - ROB HUBBARD IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS - PROGRAMMERS, ALTHOUGH HE HAS NEVER - ESSFUL GAME. INFACT HE - DOESN'T WRITE ANY GAMES. HE HAS - SPECIALIZED ON COMPUTER MUSIC. SOME OF - HIS FAMOUS TUNES ARE "COMMANDO" AND - "THING ON A SPRING". CRITICS SAY THAT - SOMETIMES, HIS MUSICS ARE BETTER THAN - THE WHOLE GAME. THERE'S A REAL FAN - COMMUNITY WHICH BUY THE GAMES JUST - BECAUSE OF HIS MUSIC. AN ENGLISH - JOURNALIST ONCE WROTE: "IT'S - UNBELIEVABLE, HOW HE MAKE THE C64 - SOUND LIKE TEN VOICES WITH ONLY THREE." ) - WHEN DID YOU START DOING MUSICS FOR - COMPUTER GAMES ? - TWO YEARS AGO, I PROGRAMMED A MUSIC, - EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE AND A GAME. - THE LATTER ONES WERE CRAP, SO I DECIDED TO SPECIALIZE ON MUSIC. AFTER HALF - A YEAR OF BEGGING AT SOFTWARE COMPANIES I GOT MY FIRST THREE JOBS. I HAD TO - DO THE MUSICS FOR THE GAMES - "ACTION BIKER" BY MASTERTRONIC, GREMLIN GRAPHIC'S "THING ON A SPRING" AND - "CONFUZION" BY INCENTIVE. 7 - DID YOU WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES TOO? + - YEAH, A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM, INCLUDING - MASTERTRONIC, FIREBIRD, ELITE,SYSTEM 3, GREMLIN GRAPHICS, MARTECH AND ALLIGATA. ) - WHICH TUNE IS YOUR BEST ONE? - THAT'S HARD TO TELL. I'M PROUD OF ALL - MY MUSICS, BUT MY FAVOURITES ARE - "MASTER OF MAGIC", "COMETS", - "GERRY THE GERM", "SPELLBOUND" - AND "KENTILLA". Y - MY *ABSOLUTE* FAVOURITES ARE - "MONTY ON THE RUN" AND "ZOIDS". 1 - YOU ARE A REAL C64 SPECIALIST. WHY - DO YOU WORK WITH THE C64 AND NOT - WITH THE SCHNEIDER OR SPECTRUM? 1 - WHEN I DECIDED TO BUY A COMPUTER, - I HEARD THAT THE C64 HAS THE BEST - HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO CREATE A - THAT'S SPECIFIC. NORMALLY IT TAKES ABOUTTWO WEEKS TO COMPOSE AND ARRANGE - IN SOME SPECIAL CASES WHERE I HAD TO - DO IT FASTER,I MANAGED TO DO ONE IN TWO DAYS. # - THAT'S HOW "COMMANDO", "ZOIDS" AND "ONE MAN AND HIS DROID" WERE CREATED. - I PREFER TAKING MY TIME, BUT I CAN - WORK VERY FAST IF I HAVE TO. 4 - DO YOU LIKE PLAYING GAMES? 6 - NO, BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND TIME NOWADAYS. BUT WHEN I RECEIVE A PREVIEW OF A GAME - I HAVE TO WRITE THE MUSIC FOR, I LOOK - AT IT VERY CLOSELY. = - HOW OLD ARE YOU? - 30. I THINK I'M A BIT OLD FOR THIS JOB - ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE OPINIONS OF - COMPUTER MAGAZINES ? - I'LL BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT - MAGAZINES. I READ "COMMODORE - HORIZONS" REGULARLY BECAUSE OF THE - AMIGA SECTION. I ALSO READ "COMMODORE - COMPUTING INTERNATIONAL" AND SOME MAGS - ABOUT SCHNEIDER, SINCLAIR, AND - WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MAGS YOU DON'T - READ? WHAT DISTURBS YOU MOST - IN THE COMPUTER SCENE? : - THE WAY SOME MAGAZINES REVIEW THE GAMES AND ARE WRITTEN FOR COMPLETE IDIOTS. - THEY OFTEN WRITE COMPLETE BULLSHIT, - WITHOUT HAVING THE SLIGHTEST KNOWLEDGE - ABOUT WRITING GAMES. I ALSO HATE - COMMENTS LIKE "I LIKE THIS GAME,BECAUSE IT'S - "I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME BECAUSE IT SUCKS". - SOFTWARE PIRACY. THERE IS A LOT MORE - THAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST IT. 4 - DO YOU WANT TO START AN OWN SOFTWARE - NO, NEVER ! THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE, - DIFFICULT AND RISKY. < - DO YOU USE PROGRAMS LIKE "MUSIC STUDIO"? ( - NO. I DO MY MUSIC IN PURE MACHINE CODE - USING AN ASSEMBLER. I TESTED THOSE - PROGRAMS, BUT THEIR POSSIBILITIES ARE - LIMITED. "ELECTROSOUND" IS THE - ONLY ONE THAT I LIKE. ; - WHICH OTHER MUSIC-PROGRAMMER DO YOU - THAT'S EASY. IT'S DEFINITELY MARTIN - GALWAY OF OCEAN, THINKING OF HIS - MUSICS FROM "RAMBO" AND "COMIC BAKERY". ) - WHICH NORMAL MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO? , - I LOVE MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF MUSIC: - CHUCK COREA, BRECKER BROS, MOZART, - RAVEL, TIPPET, NEW ORDER, TEARS FOR - FEARS, U2, BOWIE, AND THE GOOD OL' - ROCKERS LIKE THE WHO, THE - STONES AND SO ON. ? - LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE. WHICH - GAMES WITH MUSIC BY YOU ARE ABOUT - TO HIT THE MARKET? > - I WORKED ON "INTERNATIONAL KARATE", - "KENTILLA", "SPELLBOUND", "THRUST" - AND "PROTEUS" LATELY. ; - WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS? - I WILL TAKE A LITTLE BREAK FROM THE - C64 AND CONCENTRATE ON THE - SCHNEIDER-CPC AND THE SPECTRUM 128. - I HOPE THAT THE AMIGA MARKET WILL GROW, SO THAT I HAVE A CHANCE TO WORK WITH - MANY THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW.
