The artist soon started to write tunes on his classmate’s computer and later plucked up the courage to join the demoscene and tracker communities. Introduced to the computer while at boarding school, the initially-sceptical AdLib fanatic was won over when he heard David Whittaker’s astounding music for Shadow of the Beast. In the early 90s, Brandon switched to creating tracker music using the Amiga.
Even now, he maintains a “VGM Greatest Hits” Excel spreadsheet with close to a thousand entries. The music for titles such as Strider, Metroid, and Wing Commander greatly inspired him he would record their soundtracks using a micro-cassette recorder and listen to them for hours. Also an avid gamer since the days of the Atari 2600, Brandon played numerous arcade, console, and personal computer classics. Over the subsequent few years, he composed close to 100 songs using the FM synthesizer in a wide range of styles.

After receiving an AdLib Music Synthesizer Card for Christmas in 1987 – the first commercially available PC soundcard – a thirteen-year-old Brandon started composing “like mad on it”. But computers rather than choruses were what ultimately inspired him to start composing.
Pursuing choral music into college and high school, the singer even received the opportunity to perform under the baton of John Rutter at Carnegie Hall. Coming from a classical background, he received piano lessons from the age of eight, sung in his church’s choir, and learned some classical music theory. Over the last 20 years, the multi-talented Alexander Brandon has juggled roles as a sound director, musician, voice actor, and designer on titles such as Unreal, Deus Ex, and Alpha Protocol. Born on Septemin Cleveland, Ohio, Brandon was surrounded by music and technology while growing up.
