In this interview, Melanie chats up game music maestro George Alistair Sanger, known by most in the industry as The Fat Man. Since 1983, Sanger has been creating music and other audio for games. He is free internationally recognized for having contributed to the atmosphere of free over 130 games, including such sound-barrier-breaking greats as free Loom, Wing Commander I and II, The 7th Guest I and II, NASCAR Racing, Master of Orion, Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, and ATF. He wrote the first General MIDI soundtrack for a game, the first direct-to-MIDI live recording of musicians, the first redbook soundtrack included with the game as a separate disk, the first music for a game that was considered a "work of art," and the first soundtrack that was considered a selling point for the game. Sanger’s efforts to elevate and inspire the game music community include the recently launched GamePlayMusic™ project and his Annual Interactive Music Conference known more tastily as Project Bar-B-Q, an interactive music "think tank" held every year on a ranch outside of Austin, Texas.
