David Lowe (video game composer)

David Lowe, also known as “Uncle Art”, is a British composer known for his work on computer games from 1985 to 1998. Lowe gained attention by making music with professional synthesizers (CX5, DX7, RX11 drum machine) for an additional cassette tape distributed with the games Starglider 2 and Carrier Command. His Starglider soundtrack for 16-bit computers (Atari ST and Amiga) was notable for having a 15-second song (a single sound file) with vocals and synthesizers on both versions. The Amiga version’s title music used high-quality instrument sounds before tracker music. Lowe composed and recorded the music for Frontier: Elite II.
