One Day While Matt Was At The Shop Developers From Gremlin Came Downstairs And Asked For Playtesters And Matt Got To Be One Of Them. At The Time He Was A Big Fan Of The Works Of Ben Daglish And Was Given The Chance To Meet Him. When He Went Into Ben's Studio He Saw Synthesizers And An Atari ST. Ben Showed Matt Pro24 From Steinberg And Gave Him A Copy Of The Software. Matt Took The Bus Home And Started Using The Software As Soon As He Got Home.
Matt Furniss Later Heard About The Demoscenes And He Sent Out His Music To Other Companies But Nobody Seemed Interested At The Time Which He Says Could Have Been Due To His Age. Then One Day Krisalis Software Hired Him Since They Were Looking For A Composer And Sound Designer. He Was Then Interviewed And Tested And By 1989 He Was Hired And Started Doing Music For Games.
Matt Started Working At Krisalis Software With Shaun Hollingworth. Since Matt Didn't Know Programming Shaun Coded The Sound Drivers For His Games.

To Utilize The Drivers He Used An Untitled Tracker Program For The Atari Mega ST Which Was Also Programmed By Shaun. Unfortunately Neither Matt Or Shaun Have The Source Code For It.
