Patrick "Pat" Phelan is a video game audio composer, manager, and producer.
At age 13, he got his first synthesizer, a Korg MS20 and learning how to program the MS20's patch bay gave him his grounding in understanding the fundamentals of sound synthesis.
Influenced by Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish, Phelan began to write music specifically for games.
When he progressed to the Atari ST, Phelan began collecting keyboards and using the ST's built-in MIDI connectors, started to sequence complex arrangements, classical scores as well as audio for high-powered games.
Later on, he took on other responsibilities and managed the audio department before eventually moving into more senior creative roles.
