Were there any lawsuits over the "sampling" of copyrighted music on the Fallout 1 & 2 soundtracks? Were royalties paid for the samples? I love Mark Morgan's work, but it is rather blatant. Great blog btw!

Hey, thanks for the question and thanks for the compliment! :D

In February 2008, Mark Morgan was asked the following question during an interview on website, Game-OST:

“Timothy Cain said that he likes dark gloomy music and is a big fan of Aphex Twin. Some Fallout compositions are quite similar to work by Aphex Twin - were you influenced by Timothy's tastes?”

Mark Morgan replied with this:

“When Interplay was thinking of using me for the game, they sent over some music that they liked and wanted me to do something similar as a demo. The CD they sent me had no titles or artists’ names, just a few pieces of unidentified music. I gave Interplay what they wanted and I think they must have used some of my demo in the final game. At the time, I wasn’t familiar with the work of Aphex Twin. To me, it was just my interpretation of what Interplay asked for.”

On October 10, 2022, Tim Cain said this in an interview with website, DualShockers:

“I had so much of this music that I gave the list of my music to Mark Morgan and said I wanted the game to sound like this." Included in the list were Brian Eno's Discreet Music, Ambient Works 1 and 2 by Aphex Twin, and a CD called Ambient 4: Isolationism.”

From the information provided above, Mark Morgan was not familiar with Aphex Twin at the time, and he was providing Interplay with what they asked for. We're not aware of any lawsuits regarding the use of any samples, however.

Additionally, in an interview on January 28, 2015 with website The Audio Spotlight, Mark Morgan provided a list of gear that he used during his time on Fallout and Fallout 2:

“At the time I was using a NED Synclavier as my workstation controlling a few midi synths and modules like a Nord 2, Virus, PPG 2.3, Jupiter 6 and a rackmount synth called a Morpheus by EMU. The Morpheus, like a lot of the rackmount modules in the ‘90s, had this little screen with tons of pages to figure out which made programming painful, but once I figured out the programming architecture it yielded some interesting clangy metal sounds and some strange ambiences, which became a big part of the palette and sound of Fallout.”

omg this sounds like Mark Morgan's music for Fallout 1 and 2! Fuck yes! I want this instrument to go mainstream, this guy is a fucking genius!

Görkem Şen is a Turkish musician who wanted to create the sounds of electronic music acoustically. His invention, the yaybahar, is a string instrument connected to drums via metal coils that creates a wide variety of otherworldly music.

I’m afraid I have an itch only Arthur Morgan can scratch….

(Photo credz to maddalorian on TT)

Btw, I believe Arthur only looks like this when the game considers him to be “overweight” I’ve never seen his biceps this big, even when he’s at “perfect” weight ;)

Fallout: Mark Morgan: Were you previously aware...

...that Fallout originally had a different composer? According to Mark Morgan in 2008, the publisher lost their initial composer for an "unknown reason", leading Tim Cain and Charles Deenan to call Mark aboard instead. This composer remains unidentified and anonymous.

You can check out our page for Mark Morgan here, which includes 4 interviews where he speaks about his work on Fallout 1 and 2:
