Brian Watkins
writes the songs and sings them.

George Sanger
plays all the instruments!

He is the legendary Fat Man, the longest-tenured video game composer in the known world, it seems like.

George says:

These are not songs I wrote, but I really wish I had.  My bandmate Brian, is a mathematician and slot machine game designer of highest rank and sensitivity--we worked together for about a decade, trying, using simple principles, to make something surprising and beautiful for the People. We had basic tools to work with--Brian had odds and probabilities, sevens and bars, koi and buffalo, I had the ding-ding-dings.  How do you make smiles and fun out of that?

Maybe that explains what I like about this music.  Brian broke my expectations for simple songs with his nerdy topics, innocent lyrics, mildly unexpected melodies and wide-eyed delivery.  I was motivated to give it my best, and I spent some of my happiest Pandemic hours dug deep into writing these parts and getting them into place so's to present them back to Brian--and now, finally, to YOU.

So, guys, this is our gift to you.  We just want to know if it makes you smile!

Thanks for being here. You contain so much life and love! We love you.

George (and Brian)

Internationally known as The Fat Man, George Alistair Sanger’s influence is hard to overestimate. Through his work, his writings, the founding of think-tanks, organizations and communities—but mainly his music—this “legendary game audio guru’s” fingerprints are all over much of what it means today to create game audio or listen to a game.
