Barry Leitch was one of the main composers at Ocean. He has also worked for Catalyst Coders, Imagitec, Origin, Boss Games, Atari Games, and Fisher Price. He has composed music for all kinds of game consoles like NES, SNES, C64 and DOS. He now works as a Freelance composer. His first composition was I.C.U.P.S. for the C64 and it was written when he was only 15 years old.

Music Composition

For most of his NES music, he says he used MODTracker on the Commodore Amiga. For most of the DOS and SNES music that Barry wrote, he used a program called 'MEDIT', a MIDI tracker program for DOS. For his N64 music, he used Fasttracker II.

His Amiga music was composed on Octamed and Noisetracker.
