About the artist Gopher View all tracks ›
His description from ModArchive: "Gopher is a professional engineer currently working as an aerodynamicist doing cool stuff at a desk or a wind tunnel for most of the time after having finished studies for a doctorate at some English university and then doing research for a couple of years in a dead end place in the northern frozen wastes of Norway north of the arctic circle doing boring stuff with a mixture of good people and arseholes. However, in his spare time, he writes music, of which some of his early works are listed below. These were written during 97 to about 2002, after which he moved on to sequencing orchestrated music. That said, he might still be tempted to give tracking another go should the right conditions arise."

<Of Myth and Legend> ------<10:50>------ <Composed by Gopher> Copyright _ Kevin Chow 29-3-2002; All rights Reserved. Sample Credits: 1,2,6-8,A,C,11,22,25, 29-2B,2D - KIArchive 3,4,21 - Dipa 9- Radix 0D,10-13 - Merregnon E - HsA 28 - Skaven? B,23,24,2C,2E: Unk. Most of these samples have been modified (upsampled or mixed)by me anyway - the 3.5mb piano actually has a few samples of my Samick :o). Claymores? Contact: gopher_heatwave.co.uk or DALnet, #modarchive (weekends, 23:00 GMT:) This is, by far, the longest track I've ever written. The old- -est pattern here is 20:05 and 20:08 . I originally intended this track to be a ballad, but as it evolved, it grew into another of my larger "stories", like JQ. I was also going to release this in IT format (which as those who know me might laugh at, seeing as I am a staunch supporter of FT][) but in the end, I managed to get by with 32 channels. Looking back, I can identify some main places that gave me inspiration; The endof Final Fantasy (film) gave me the idea for the intro; almost all of the piano parts I got inspiration from Jesse Worley's stuff (eg Twilight, White). Many other people have contributed some way to this, so I guess I ought to do da greetz: Mr. Worley, Eterman, Ivory, DMSN, JMTM, Crimson King, PHP, HsA ... why the hell is it so hard to remember nicks now...argh... TTR, Modarchive& Modplug communities. Finally, I know it's big, but I hope you enjoy it. I've been writing this since December LAST YEAR (i.e. 2001), expending about 200 hours and possibly a few A1s to write this :o) It may not be OSL, but it's mine :o) -Kevin Chow PLUG: Like what you hear?
