Moved from page:

Controversy has arisen in parts of the world as to the true identity of Andrew Sega. (Perhaps as a result of the aforementioned "ripping" practices.) One notable myth purports the name "Andrew Sega" to be a concocted pseudonym, claiming Sega's existence to be entirely fabricated in an elaborate attempt to conceal the identity of the original composer.^{[citation needed]} While witnesses to live performances by Sega argue against these, and such myths are widely regarded to be false if not entirely preposterous, Andrew Sega has yet to officially dispute their validity.

Given that this is mere speculation, not even original research, and given that it's completely wrong, I've removed this from the page. What myths? I was physically present for several early works being composed (the pisstro tune, Search for the Lost Riff) and was physically present for the release of some works (eg. Ascent of the Cloud Eagle). While I recognize that myths, true or not, may merit documentation on wikipedia, I challenge that this one is insignificant in importance, is without citation, and is mostly just invented by editors.

Sorry I didn't realize how preposterous the "myths" were. I met his mom, his dad, his sister, his college roommate. He's in the phone book. It's not hard to verify people exist. JoshuaRodman 04:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed him to say I was a fan and got chatting over email for a while to him. Thoroughly nice bloke. Then, he helped me out by giving me Martin Galway's (Commodore 64 composer) email address as he's from my home town and we were looking to do a videogame music event with him but he'd dropped off the radar. Luckily Andrew had worked with him a few times. I did not know about this rumour back then, but Martin has actually talked to him in person so he must be real. May I ask how the hell such a rumour can begin!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.99.78 (talk) 21:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Groups have hidden behind a pseudonym before, not necessarily music groups, though. But Sega is certainly a real person, no doubt about that, I guess he just didn't care about the rumors. Clerlic (talk) 17:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jazz

Sega has composed several jazz pieces during the demoscene years. Is it worth adding jazz to the genre section, even if he isn't affiliated with the genre these days? --Aeternus ^(talk) 16:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Compilations

Alright, whoever added those "Citation needed" marks can visit this and this pages and see for themselves, but I don't think it's necessary to add links. Kernelmode (talk) 20:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

I think it's more objective to make a separate group for remixes. He made remixes on Seabound, Azoic, Depeche Mode, Frozen Plasma, Lights of Euphoria, Low Technicians just to name a few. Should they all be here? Maybe it's better just to have a link to Discogs. Or a simple text note. 77.11.94.98 (talk) 12:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Λeternus ^(talk) 16:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreal Tournament 2014

Has Anyone contacted Sega and asked if he was willing to work on Unreal Tournament 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.176.223.5 (talk) 00:27, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
