Gavan Anderson (often credited as Gavin Anderson) was the second main composer at Beam Software. He joined Beam Software in 1988 and left in 1999. His music for Back to the Future is his best known game soundtrack. Gavan not only did music for games but also did some digitized voices in them, too. He got Tania Smith to work for Beam Software since he was swamped with so much work he needed another musician to help. He knew Tania through Marshall Parker, a friend of his that he toured and played with in bands. Later in his video game music career, he had only been doing sound effects because of Tania and Marshall already handling music and he left Beam in October 1999. Gavan had previously played in a band called Bluestone. Below is Gavan's description about his job at Beam Software.
History
Gavan:
Music Composition
NES
Gavan used the Beam Software sound engine and wrote the music in Music Macro Language. Gavan also made impressive digitized samples for NES games. During the development of Aussie Rules Footy, his voice can be heard saying, "Out of Bounds. On the Full." When Gavan was doing this, he had to record both sentences in different files, which were then put together by Marshall Parker.
