About Supernova Sound
Charlie Malone, composer and producer for multimedia, freelances
to produce scores for videogames, films, and other media
applications. A veteran in the videogame industry, he is the
owner of and main creative force behind Supernova sound.
Charlie's history composing music for video games dates back to
1994 with music composed for the "Demolition Man" game developed
and published by Virgin Interactive.
Charlie has been making electronic music since 1987 when he got
his first synthesizer, a Roland Juno 1. “I’ve always liked a lot
of different kinds of music, but back when I started, my main
influences were euro techno pop bands like Depeche Mode, New
Order, Erasure and Kraftwerk.”.
As time went by, Charlie explored different styles and artistic
directions with his music. Teaming up with different
collaborators he dabbled in pop, rock, funk and soundtrack
scoring. In the late 1980s he formed the band “Paxwo” with his
friend Curtis Krone. Paxwo performed around So Cal and released
a couple of independent albums.
In the mid 90s Charlie was hired by Tommy Tallirico to create
music for the “Demolition Man” videogame that was being
developed by Virgin Interactive. The game was released and
shortly fell into obscurity due mainly because it was developed
for the 3DO console, which was taken off of the market a few
months later. Charlie has decided to pursue a different type of
career and dropped out of the music business for a few years to
become a server support technician.
Around 1998 Charlie started focusing on composing again and
created “Electroid“. The original idea behind Electroid was to
create strictly “Electro” or “West Coast Techno”. In 2000,
Florida based Tweak Records released the “Electroid EP”, a four
song floor pounder with an old school flavor. After several
performances as “Electroid”, Charlie created : supernova sound
and took several “commercial jobs” creating different types of
music for various companies. More recently, Charlie’s focus has
been once again directed towards the videogame industry.
