Production Info
Submitted by Stu Taylor on 9 November 2006
By now I really wanted to promote my own (coded) music player. Long gone were the days of Electrosound and that American product The Mighty Bogg liked to use (actually a very good tool, just no real effects could be created with it) - I wanted to show off the results of my own tool! It didn't have a front end as such, but it was never for public consumption - they were only meant to hear the results - and here were 4 of them!
This demo went to a lot of software houses and Hewsoft (was that their name - makers of Paradroid and Uridium) wanted to use The Ghoul for their first budget titled game, I think it was based on Bolderdash - I never did see it and the programmer turned them against me so it never got used anyhow!
I had been commissioned by Orpheus software (ironically the makers of Electrosound) to code the music for their game Sky Runner. They sent me a work-in-progress version of the game along with a sort-of-completed Electrosound composition. They wanted me to transpose this to a non-Electrosound version and make it my own - what you hear on here is the end result. Unfortunately the MD of Orpheus at the time was a complete nightmare to work with - I was young and naive at the time but this was my first experience, commercially, of trying to get money out of someone. He just wouldn't pay - kept saying cheque would be in the post, give it another week or so etc etc....looking at Sky Runner for the first time ever (on here) it looks like the programmer's deal with Orpheus went pretty sour as well. I see the game was published by another software house (Cascade?) and the music had gone back to it's original Electrosound composition - obviously I had no dealings with Cascade - they probably didn't even know about my arrangement!!....
About 1 year later, under new management, Orpheus approached me again asking me to do some more music. OK, I said, firstly you pay me for Sky Runner and secondly I want the money for the new music (I think it was an adaption of some board game involving moving buses around London???) up front - they obliged so there was a happy ending to this story
Toyota Sony Chop - initially written in good old Electrosound again, The Wolverines were keen to get this in their demo ASAP - again it was borderline me finishing my music routine and getting Toyota...done via any means. Once done (in Electrosound) they wanted it in their demo. Meanwhile I rearranged it with my own code.... what you hear on the demo and the stand alone "Toyota Sony Chop" file is the Electrosound version. Here, you have a version with my own music routine.... |
