Dan Froelich is an American musician.
Froelich studied music theory, education and composition at university. In 1985, he got a 4-track recorder and Roland drum machine. The same decade, he scored a video on how to paint science fiction and fantasy miniatures.
In 1991, Tim Sweeney was founding Epic Games and looking for a composer in rec.music.synth (a Usenet newsgroup). Froelich sent a tape of the aforementioned video score, "and the rest is history."
Besides audio, Froelich created and animated a few characters for Xargon (DOS). Shortly after, he joined Pack Media Company, whose founder had authored Adventure Math for Epic.
Froelich lives in Boulder, Colorado and plays the guitar, euphonium, trombone, keyboards and bass.
Audio Development
DOS
For all of his DOS games, Froelich arranged in AdLib Visual Composer (1.5 or newer). From his website:
Some of the OPL2 instruments, especially drums come from Ad Lib's STANDARD.BNK. For use in the games, somebody converted Froelich's ROL and BNK files to CMF or MDI.
