I think I did Mumbo’s Mountain next, at that time I thought that level was going to make it into the game but it didn’t in the end, you can hear a bit of it in the trailer for the game. I intentionally made it a little rough round the edges, I imagined it was Banjo sitting there trying to remember how he played the Banjo all those years ago. I just stuck a mic up in my office and sat and worked out the chords and recorded it into Pro Tools. Rare had just bought us a real Banjo so I thought I’d definitely have to learn it enough to get that tune done. The first piece I had a go at was Spiral Mountain. It was great to re-visit the old stuff and work out which old tune would fit well into a new tune.
So, I decided early on that it would be great if I could include little references from the first two games in the new video games music as everyone had such a fond memory of the early games. I had no idea when I started back in October 1995 that the games I worked on would go on to be such successes and that people would still mail me about them today. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was my last game at Rare and of course was a very upsetting time for me as I’d been there 13 years.
