'''David Whittaker''' (born 24 April 1957 in [[Bury, Greater Manchester|Bury]], [[England]]<ref>[http://www.c64.com/interviews/whittaker.html C64.COM interview]</ref>) is an English [[Video game music|video game composer]]. He is known for writing [[video game]] music in most of the 1980s and early 1990s for different formats.

==Career==
Whittaker cited [[David Bowie]], [[Kraftwerk]] and [[Yazoo (band)|Yazoo]] among his influences.<ref name ="Sinclair User">{{cite web |title= David Whittaker interview|url=https://archive.org/details/sinclair-user-magazine-065/page/n31/mode/2up |website=archive.org| access-date= 21 May 2025}}</ref> Before his video game career, he was in a [[new romantic]] band called "Beu Leisure".<ref name ="Sinclair User"/> While composing music, Whittaker directly programmed music; instead of using music composition tools, he used a [[machine code monitor]]—then an assembler system or program—while including tools from [[Supersoft]] and [[Commodore International|Commodore]]. He frequently composed for the format on the [[Commodore 64]] and was impressed with the [[Amiga]]'s sound capabilities, later using sound effects in his compositions for Amiga.

On the [[Commodore 64]] and [[ZX Spectrum]], his most popular compositions are in ''[[Lazy Jones]]'', ''[[Glider Rider (video game)|Glider Rider]]'', ''[[Global Commander|Armageddon Man]]'', ''[[Amaurote]]'', ''[[BraveStarr (video game)|BraveStarr]]'', and ''[[Elektra Glide]]''. His subtune 21 of ''[[Lazy Jones]]'', commonly known as "Star Dust", was the basis for the electronic song "[[Kernkraft 400]]" by [[Zombie Nation (band)|Zombie Nation]]. His compositions appeared in [[Amiga]] games such as ''[[Shadow of the Beast (1989 video game)|Shadow of the Beast]]'', ''[[Obliterator]]'', ''[[Beyond the Ice Palace]]'', and ''[[Speedball (video game)|Speedball]]''. Other formats he has composed for include [[Amstrad CPC]], [[Atari ST]], [[Atari 8-bit computers]], and [[MSX]].

After working for eight years in the US for [[Electronic Arts]] at [[Redwood Shores, California|Redwood Shores]], he joined British video game developer [[Traveller's Tales]] in [[Knutsford]], Cheshire, working as Head of Audio in September 2004.
