Tim Wright (Welsh musician)

Tim Wright, known professionally as CoLD SToRAGE (stylised as CoLD SToRAGE), is a Welsh video game music composer best known for his work on Wipeout 2097. His compositions for the game drew on 1990s UK big beat and electronic music trends, influenced by artists such as The Chemical Brothers. This style helped define Wipeout 2097's futuristic racing soundtrack and contributed to the popularisation of electronic music in video games. Wright has also contributed to the soundtracks of Shadow of the Beast II, Agony, Lemmings, and Colony Wars.

Wright’s career began in the early 1990s, with his first commercial works created using the Amiga computer and featured in computer games published by Psygnosis. He left Sony in 1997 to form Jester Interactive, developing music creation software for home consoles, such as Music and Music 2000 for the PlayStation and MTV, and Music Generator and Music 3000 for the PlayStation 2, before leaving with his brothers to form Checkmate Solutions Limited.

At Checkmate, Wright developed several musical sequencing products for Empire Interactive plc. under the eJay brand. He subsequently left to form his own company, Tantrumedia Limited, where he composes music, designs music sequencing software and oversees the production of websites and other multimedia projects.
