Brief history: |
The Arranger series was started by Zodiac in 1993 as a new solo-project after quitting the MSX demogroup BCF. The first single-sided musicdisk was released at the MSX-fair in Doetinchem organised by MAD. Although it was a solo-project, some other musicians contributed to the music content, but coding, graphics and most of the music were done by one person. The musicians that contributed to one or more Arranger music disks were: Bart Roijmans (Compjoetania), Coen van der Geest (Moonsoft), Falco Dam (MSX Engine), Pascal Oldenzeel (Flying Bytes), Anne de Raad (Flying Bytes), Dave Groenen (Compjoetania) and Andries Minnaert who created the ending theme for "MoonSounds".
After the first Arranger music disk some other people contributed as well, by either coding some assembly routines or creating additional graphics. Of course these people deserve to be mentioned too, so here goes: Remco Schrijvers (Moonsoft), Ivo Wubbels (MSX-Engine), Remo Jongeneelen (Compjoetania) and Mike Dammer. Last but not least we'd like to put Manuel Bilderbeek up here for motivating us to release Arranger IV.
