Дэвид Уиттакер: Музыка ойын композиторының өмірі мен шығармашылығы

David Whittaker (born 24 April 1957 in Bury, England) is an English video game composer. He is known for writing video game music in most of the 1980s and early 1990s for different formats.

While composing music, Whittaker directly programmed music; instead of using music composition tools, he used a machine code monitor—then an assembler system or program—while including tools from Supersoft and Commodore. He frequently composed for the format on the Commodore 64 and was impressed with the Amiga's sound capabilities, later using sound effects in his compositions for Amiga. His compositions appeared in Amiga games such as Shadow of the Beast, Obliterator, Beyond the Ice Palace, and Speedball. On the Commodore 64, his most popular compositions are in Glider Rider, Storm, Street Surfer, and Armageddon Man. His subtune 21 of Lazy Jones was the basis for the electronic song "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation. Other formats he has composed for include Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Atari 8 bit computers, MSX, and ZX Spectrum. After working for eight years in the US for Electronic Arts at Redwood Shores, he joined British video game developer Traveller's Tales in Knutsford, Cheshire, working as Head of Audio in September 2004.
