TheMusicGuy's Profile

Hello. I am TMG, aka. Fearsome Dragonfly, aka. Cpt. BORTHOG!, aka. Brad Harms. (Yeah, I know. I guess I've been having some kind of identify crisis...)

I don't know exactly when I started tracking, but my best guess puts it circa 2002. Since then I've experimented with numerous different tracking tools and genres, but eventually I decided I like MilkyTracker and electronic/chiptune mods, especially NES-style. A lot of my music, as you might guess, is inspired by the video games of the late eighties to late nineties. Among the chief sources of inspiration are the famous songs from Capcom's Mega Man series. Other sources include the classic mods from the golden days of tracking, such as No Inhibitions!, Occ-sang--whatever it is, and others of the sort.

Besides tracking, I program a lot as a hobbie. For a while I made computer games with Game Maker (Google it), but after switching from Windows to Linux I haven't made any games. (Quite regretfully, I might say, but I would never go back to Windows just for GM.) I used to do a lot of web development, but as of the last couple years, I've had a lot of setbacks in that respect, so I don't do that so much any more.

Other than making games and game-inspired music, I like to actually PLAY the games, too. Usually, the more retro the better, but there are some notable exceptions...like Halo, and SSB. :D
