From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Whittaker (born 24 April 1957 in Bury, England) is known for numerous video game music which he wrote in most of the 1980s and early 1990s, for many different formats.

He is known for the large quantity of his works. The first games that featured his music were also designed and programmed by him, such as Lazy Jones.While making music, he often programmed music directly, instead of using any music composition tools, using just a "machine code monitor"—and then an 'assembler' system/program—including SuperSoft's and then Commodore's tools.

Thus, his Amiga music is often easy to recognise. (Full article...)
