Essay by Turtle Money Sandwich

Turtle Money Sandwich's second release, "Essay," is just a short thing--three songs. But I sometimes can't believe I get to do the instrumentation for songs of this quality.

Did you ever listen to lyrics over and over and over, and keep getting something new out of them every time? My pal Poet Jim recently told me that if a poem gives you feelings that you can't put into words, its done its job. When Brian first sent me his voice/guitar demos of these tunes, I got chills, tears, goosebumps, warm feelings. Cindy and I danced around, hugged, and smiled.

I believe in these lyrics and melodies, and I brought all I could to the table to frame them up into the best recordings I could make.

I would love for you to listen to this music.

I'm not expecting a lot of listeners, but I think if you're one of the few, you might be glad you did.

Turtle Money Sandwich is -

Brian Watkins
writes the songs and sings them.

George Sanger
plays all the instruments!

He is the legendary Fat Man, the longest-tenured video game composer in the known world, it seems like.

Internationally known as The Fat Man, George Alistair Sanger’s influence is hard to overestimate. Through his work, his writings, the founding of think-tanks, organizations and communities—but mainly his music—this “legendary game audio guru’s” fingerprints are all over much of what it means today to create game audio or listen to a game.
