Tim Follin is a video game musician who has written tracks for a variety of titles and home gaming systems, including the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, NES, Super Nintendo, Dreamcast and PlayStation. Little known outside his native UK, Follin's early 8- and 16-bit pieces were notable for their ambitious and imaginative use of samples, or clever manipulation of limited sound hardware - particularly with his work on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
His finest moment to date is widely regarded as his soundtrack to Software Creations' Commodore Amiga conversion of Ghouls and Ghosts. Other notable soundtracks by Follin include Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (Dreamcast), X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (Super Nintendo), and home computer ports of Bionic Commando.
His brothers Geoff Follin and Mike Follin also works in the video game industry.
Follin has a web site (http://www.timfollin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) that offers a brief overview of his career and .mp3 files from his Ecco the Dolphin soundtrack.
