Joel Eriksson

Joel Eriksson: Olof Gustavsson who is one of the founders of DICE were looking for a composer for the game. One day he headed to the local music store, where my brother Daniel worked. Olof asked around for tips and Daniel suggested him to work with me. I had to make a demo showing some compositions, and I used my Roland JV-1080, the only synth I had containing orchestral sounds. I got the job, because my compositions sounded original and in the right mood, but I learned that the sounds I used had a lot to be wished for.

"This was the first game I made music for. We used a pretty old synthesizer (Roland JV-1080 with the orchestral expansion.) The game is a Swedish production and was released in 1997. A kind of space puzzle adventure with a rather deep story to it."
