Dave Dexter is a composer, orchestrator and multi-instrumentalist. Whilst he's produced soundtracks and music for dozens of games over the course of five years and double that number of genres, and being best-known for his chiptune and folk work on The Other Brothers and TerraTech, he now specialises in classical, choral and orchestral writing. His string quartet piece "St Clement's Isle" was recently played on Classic FM on Jessica Curry's "High Score" show.

It's always risky to find an epoch one feels best represents music as a whole and state "This. This is what I want to do", but Dave certainly prefers the more traditional approach to scoring and composing. He'll work with samples if he has to, but the best moments come from hearing great musicians planting a glorious flag in the earth of a piece and making it their own. His music ranges from the beautiful and intimate, the achingly sad, the whimsical and the thunderously exciting; if not watched like a hawk he'll probably attempt to combine all four.

The astonishing Grant Kirkhope, at whose feet we lay our golden boughs, said "Dave Dexter's music is beautiful and innocent and melodic and a joy to listen to." Dave is still in partial paralysis from this event.

Dave is writing in the third person but is totally a cool guy and not arrogant in the slightest.
