TDM

TDM (short for The Dungeon Master) is a childhood friend of King Fisher, knowing eachother before they even acquired Commodore 64’s! TDM began his career in Royalty, a swedish group with quite interesting members, including some who later ended up in TRIAD. Royalty released both cracks and demos, and their most well-known production might be the demo Metal Generation, which contain music by, among others, TDM.

When The Golden Child (later known as Bismarck) left Royalty to build up Rebels together with Watchman and Dynamic, some other Royalty members followed, among them TDM.

However, Rebels did not work out as expected, and instead the majority of the members were offered to join TRIAD. Many did, including Bismarck, Dynamic, Hero, King Fisher, Watchman – and of course, TDM.

From then on, TDM functioned as a musician for TRIAD, composing quite some tunes rightfully considered as SID-classics today. Among his work we have to highlight the music for the demo-trilology Red October, Red Storm and Refugee, but there are tons of TRIAD releases containing tunes from him.

Somewhere before the release of Refugee, TDM faded into inactivity. Quite some years later he appeared again, making music for modern commercial C64 games such as Knight & Grail and Pains ‘n’ Aches. As of August 2018, TDM is also back in business making music for TRIAD again!
