Joseph Toscano

Joseph Toscano, also known by his online handle ZhayTee, is an American composer.
In 2002, when Retro Studios was looking to hire a musician for Metroid Prime, Toscano wrote a musical demo in hopes of being hired to compose the game's soundtrack. His demo is based on the iconic Metroid Title theme along with original melodies, and is a synth-heavy piece that begins with a foreboding tone before building up to a triumphant, heroic fanfare. Ultimately, Toscano's demo was passed over in favor of Kenji Yamamoto. Although Toscano enjoys Yamamoto's soundtrack, he still enjoys how his demo came out and would have been thrilled to have gotten the job. The demo was made available on his website, ZhayMusic Productions.[ downloads ]
Toscano is a big fan of gaming and music, with Hirokazu Tanaka being cited as one of his favorite composers, and he applies his passion into composing music for games. He started writing his music with ScreamTracker and Impulse Tracker, but has since used samplers and keyboard controllers. He also designs and codes games.[ about zhaymusic ]
