Allister Brimble is a British video game composer. He began composing music and sound effects for the video game industry in the mid-1980s. He also produced various audio tracks, as "Brimble's Beats", that were distributed on cover disks of magazines including CU Amiga and Amiga Format.
Brimble works as a freelance musician and sound designer for the games and console industry, and used to work alongside colleague Anthony Putson at the now defunct Orchestral Media Developments.[1] He wrote the theme tune for an indoor theme park in Abu Dhabi.[2] Brimble's extensive experience in alternative formats allowed him to compose for many gaming platforms.
