Harry Thumann

Harry Thumann (28 February 1952 – 2001) was a German electronic composer, record producer and sound engineer.

Born Harald Thumann in Germany, he started out as a drummer while getting a thorough grounding in audio engineering in German broadcasting.

When touring lost appeal, Thumann put his musical and technical experience to work and started his first recording studio in a bedroom at the family home.

It had the hit single "Underwater", which was later used in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV.

His second solo album was Andromeda, released in 1982, which contained the highly influential track The Sphinx, which later inspired the theme to Knight Rider.
