STIL:

COMMENT: "The Miami Vice game was a very quick job. I had been handed 'Miami Vice' and 'Highlander' because the outside development team working on it hadn't worked out who was going to do the sound (notice those games have little or no sound-effects), so I did my best in a very short time. I [...] picked 'The Chase' and the 'Main Theme' as the two tunes I would do. We had settled on two modes for the game - in your car and out of it I think. (Or maybe it was in the game and out of it, I can't remember.) I started on 'The Chase' and if you listen to the first few seconds of that you can hear the basis of that super-filter-echo tune that is so cool. I recall David Collier was sitting in the office with me while I was working on it. But while messing with it while everyone else was at lunch, I came across this cool sound. I added to it and added to it, and when we applied the non-sync'd filter sweep we both flipped out! I decided to abandon the conversion of that tune and simply go with the cool sounds I had stumbled upon. When the guys came back from lunch and listened to it they swore that there was a cassette deck connected somewhere and it wasn't the C64 playing it! Such a sound had not been heard before by any of us out of the C64. So I extended it and turned it into this tripping-out 11-minute piece. The main theme itself... I simply did my best with no drums (Rob Hubbard's strength). I think my strength with guitar solos helped pull it off. Both of those problematic games benefited from my music, actually, and the Ocean management were very relieved (understatement)." (MG)
