From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Chris Hülsbeck (born 1968) is a game music composer from Germany.

Chris Hülsbeck

He has written soundtracks for more than 70 titles, the latest being Star Wars Rebel Strike for Nintendo GameCube. Many of his scores for the Commodore 64 are regarded as classics among enthusiasts today, most notably Great Giana Sisters. He is best known for the soundtracks to the Turrican series of games. Chris's initial recognition arrived at age 16 when his composition "Shades" won first place in a music competition for the German "64'er" magazine.

He created a music replay routine for the Amiga called TFMX -- "The Final Musicsystem eXtended", which featured far more musically-oriented features than rival SoundTracker, such as logarithmic pitch-bends, sound macros and individual tempos for each track.
