For some of the tunes in “Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon,” I enlisted the help of Grammy-winner and Texas keyboard legend Floyd Domino, my two-time Grammy-winning brother Dave Sanger, and Hammond ace Nick Connolly. A less computer-literate trio you’ve never met. They bravely brought their instruments over to Fat Manor, we hooked ‘em up to the computer, I gave ‘em some sheet music, and they tore it up. I mean to say they played the heck out of the tunes I wrote…they didn’t actually rip up the pages until after the gig.

Music for games is usually written by a lone programmer or musician at a keyboard. This is the first time that parts of a computer game’s soundtrack have been recorded by a group of musicians of this caliber playing real instruments simultaneously, “jam-style.” They were able to play off of each other’s musical ideas in real time in a way that can’t be duplicated by other techniques. You can feel the music come alive on these songs, even on the least elaborate sound cards. And on a high-grade General MIDI sound card—look out! My thanks and admiration go to these musicians, and to Ron Gilbert for giving us the leeway to experiment in this direction.
