Tim Follin (#1301)

[Liontamer]

Just wanted to note that Follin is currently my favorite VGM composer. For more info on Follin, check out his Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Follin. Aside from the introductory paragraph and ludography (started by Kaleb.G, though expanded by me), about 85-90% of the article was researched, referenced and written by me.

I'm still working on a tribute project to Follin over at OC ReMix entitled Dirge for the Follin: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8223
If you know any musicians who would like to contribute by covering or rearranging/interpreting one of Tim or Geoff Follin's works, please contact me!

Good choice! While I feel ashamed for not listening to his work as much as I should, I still dig his style very much. Unique and intense!

The article you wrote is well elaborated and interesting. There is one detail which I'd add however: he came back from his retirement as a music composer, although no new game project was done since Lemmings.

Concerning the OC ReMix project, I could try selling the idea to a friend of mine who recently started to get involved in the remixing scene. Known online as musicalman, he submitted his first remix (from Metal Gear) to the last Dwelling of Duels and finished first! Being an incredible musician, I'm certain he would be able to come up with a great track; just would have to see if time and interest would be sufficient.

Follin owns. I ripped the Future Tactics soundtrack, and I'm a big fan of the Plok! soundtrack. Those are just my highlights. He's a great composer all around. Too bad he doesn't have more of his stuff published.

So Tim Follin composed "Beach" from Plok. Interesting.
