Biography

Prior to entering the world of game composition, Graeme Norgate worked in a bank. In April 1994, he made the jump and started working at Rare Ltd., until he left in 1999. His style is quite versatile, being able to compose in many genres. However, like many other VGM artists, the genre he probably excels the best at is "electronic". After leaving Rare, he co-founded Free Radical Design with some fellow ex-Rare employees. Graeme is still working there today. Through the years, he forged the excellent aural aspect of the "TimeSplitters" series and is currently crafting the soundtrack of "Haze".

• He is a fan of C64 music.
• Around the time when he entered Rare, he was in a band called "Autogeddon".
• He likes to frequent industrial/EBM and goth clubs, and also attend the Infest festival each year.
• Some of his favorite artists include:
  • And One
  • Apoptygma Berzerk
  • Bauhaus
  • Combichrist
  • Covenant
  • Depeche Mode (seems silly listing such an obvious choice - but I will always have a place for them in my life)
  • Feindflug
  • Front 242
  • Front Line Assembly (in my opinion really good up to and including Hard Wired)
  • Goteki
  • Illuminia
  • Jetstream Lovers
