Well, I grew up in the 90’s, and who doesn’t love those awesome TV adventure shows from at era? From exciting live action shows like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, to the Disney afternoon and Warner Brothers superhero shows like Duck Tales, Batman: The Animated Series, and Tale Spin, 90’s afternoon television was in a golden age. Those shows had great characters, gorgeous art, unforgettable storylines, and… legendary music! Well, that’s my passion, creating high-energy, action packed adventure music inspired by those iconic 90’s television shows.
I forgot about those great shows! Who are your favorite composers from those 90’s TV shows?
I’m glad you asked! I love the music of Ron Jones (Duck Tales, Star Trek: The Next Generation,) Shirley Walker and her team (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series,) and Joseph Loduca (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.)
But you’re a game composer, what kinds of games were happening back in the 90’s?
Well, that era of games is also my favorite era, it was the “golden age” of Computer Role-Playing Games (or CRPGs). Games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate were being sold, with dramatic stories, great combat, and memorable characters. Also, that was the high point of Lucas Arts adventure games (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle) which honestly, felt like playable Disney Afternoon TV shows. Did I mention I also love writing music inspired by those games, also?
Orango Jones lands on Karimata Island, with his archnemesis and all-round evil doer Otto von Kartoffel in hot pursuit. Otto is determined to take the emerald flute as a gift to his Fur-rer. Which path should Orango take?

Sure have! I won an Emmy Award for Orchestration and Midi Orchestration from my work on the animated television show, The Wonderpets.
