When asked about working on Jazz 2, Alex replied: This wide range of musical tastes allows Alex to create stunning pieces of work in many different styles.

Although he is not part of Kosmic now due to other commitments, he still has a lot of respect for the scene.Īlex likes many kinds of music except bad rap, bad reggae and some classical pieces. He joined the demo scene under the nickname of Siren, later changing to Sandman, with Kosmic where his music can be heard in a demo named Night Vision.

As well as composing the music for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Alex is also working on Epic's other highly anticipated title Unreal. Alex has been composing music for over 10 years and has been involved in many classic Epic games such as Tyrian and Extreme Pinball. Alex uses Sound Forge 4.0 to create the samples used in the tracks, and both Scream Tracker & Impulse Tracker to compose the tracks themselves.
