About MIDICraft

MIDICraft is run by two Amiga musicians, lyricists and composers, who also happen to be brothers, Kevan R.Craft and Gareth R.Craft. As brothers, they have been producing music on the Amiga since 1992, although they have both been in various gigging and recording bands both at college and on the semi-professional scene. Gareth has been in a full 9 piece Jazz band, arranged brass sections and has done session work for some recording artists. Kevan's early efforts have been in film and television studying to be a director and has made about ten projects as writer/director and have edited some unbroadcasted TV programmes.)

MIDICraft contributed a considerable amount of written articles on a broad range of subjects for the now deceased AM/FM magazine and have just started to publish their own magazine by the name of 'MIDICraft Magazine'.

MIDICraft also frequently offer help and assistance to the editorial team of the TI and help to answer queries which the group receives in the area of OctaMED MIDI Problems

'MIDICraft music' emerged after both Kevan and Gareth realised that they had amassed quite a lot of cover scores during their four years using Music-X and rather than sell these at extortionate prices they decided to allow other users access to their music as volume sets for an inexpensive fee as a small payment for their efforts in producing the MIDI scores contained within the growing MIDICraft Volume series.

Both Kevan and Gareth have also, over the years, compiled a catalogue of original music and songs which they decided to record together using the Amiga. The result is their self-penned and produced CD entitled 'A Drop in the Ocean' containing 12 tracks, 10 songs and 2 instrumentals.
