For some of the tunes in “Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon,” I enlisted the help of Grammy-winner and Texas keyboard legend Floyd Domino, my two-time Grammy-winning brother Dave Sanger, and Hammond ace Nick Connolly. A less computer-literate trio you’ve never met. They bravely brought their instruments over to Fat Manor, we hooked ‘em up to the computer, I gave ‘em some sheet music, and they tore it up. I mean to say they played the heck out of the tunes I wrote…they didn’t actually rip up the pages until after the gig.

Music for games is usually written by a lone programmer or musician at a keyboard. This is the first time that parts of a computer game’s soundtrack have been recorded by a group of musicians of this caliber playing real instruments simultaneously, “jam-style.” They were able to play off of each other’s musical ideas in real time in a way that can’t be duplicated by other techniques. You can feel the music come alive on these songs, even on the least elaborate sound cards. And on a high-grade General MIDI sound card—look out! My thanks and admiration go to these musicians, and to Ron Gilbert for giving us the leeway to experiment in this direction.

The Fat Man, September 24th, 1993

...

I tried to bring my best game: whole-tone scales, live jazz, Andrews Sisters harmony, whatever magic inspirations came floating into my heart from playing the prototype versions of the game.

Most significantly, I suppose, this project is the where I bonded with Humongous Entertainment games by falling in love with a little purple car.

Wouldn't you?
