Graeme Norgate is a British composer and sound designer. Even when he was a kid, Graeme knew that he wanted to work on computers and music for a living. When he started playing Commodore 64 games, he knew that he wanted to compose game music. Graeme wasn't too good with the BASIC on the C64, but when the Amiga came out with MOD Tracker, he started composing music on that. He joined Rare in April 1994, starting his work as a video game musician. His first game was Killer Instinct for arcade, in which he also did the home console conversions. He then left in February 1999 and founded Free Radical Design along with a few other game developers. Ever since February 2009, he has been working for Crytek, known for their Crysis games.

Music Composition

Graeme wrote the music in hexadecimal in a text editor, which was then assembled. It was a very tedious process. The sound driver may have been written by either Chris Stamper or Mark Betteridge.
