about
Chris Hülsbeck (born March 2, 1968) is a game music composer from Germany. He has written soundtracks for more than 70 titles, the latest being Star Wars: Rebel Strike for Nintendo GameCube. Many of his scores for the Commodore 64 are regarded as classics among enthusiasts today, most notably Great Giana Sisters. He is best known for the soundtracks to the Turrican series of games. Chris's initial recognition arrived at age 16 when his composition "Shades" won first place in a music competition for the German "64'er" magazine. He created a music replay routine for the Amiga called TFMX -- "The Final Musicsystem eXtended", which featured far more musically-oriented features than rival Soundtracker, such as logarithmic pitch-bends, sound macros and individual tempos for each track. His music from Apidya, Turrican 2, Turrican 3 and Giana Sisters was performed live at the Symphonic Game Music Concert series in Leipzig, Germany between 2003-2007, conducted by Andy Brick. On August 23, 2008 his music will be performed at Symphonic Shades, a concert dedicated to his work exclusively. The WDR Radio Orchestra and the WDR Radio Choir will perform classics such as Giana Sisters, Turrican, R-Type and others in Cologne, Germany conducted by Arnie Roth.
