Dean Evans is an English composer and sound designer. In March 1991, he started working on video game music at Ocean Software as a composer and sound effects creator. At the beginning of 2000, Dean left Ocean and moved on to Warthog Games as an Audio Head. Also, he was a musician at Semi-Precious Studios, which founded by Jonathan Dunn. Near the end of 2002, he quit Warthog and started his own music company Burnbrae Audio, which he still currently runs.

Dean is perhaps best known for his work on Waterworld (SNES). He is also known for The Flintstones (SNES), Jurassic Park (AMI), and Lethal Weapon (AMI).

Audio Development

AMI

Evans used MED (Music Editor).

SNES

“

We originally used a more awkward system and the Nintendo dev tools and I personally found it awkward to get anything decent out of this system. Myself, Barry Leitch and Keith Tinman designed MEDIT and the PC editor was programmed by Leslie Long and it was Jonathan's (Dunn) SNES driver that played the music on the SNES.

„

GBA

On his early works, Evans used MusyX sound tool by Factor 5.

On Pinky and The Brain: The Master Plan, he used Fasttracker II and sent his XM files to Manfred Linzner, who converted it into the game using GAX sound driver.

On his last works, he converted his XM music to Engine Software's sound driver by Jan-Lieuwe Koopmans.
