This led to Wright creating music for a number of Psygnosis' Amiga and Atari ST games, some of which won awards. This initial freelance work eventually led to him leaving his programming job for Littlewoods and going to work full-time at Psygnosis Ltd as their ''Senior Sound Artist'' on projects such as Lemmings, Wipeout, Wipeout 2097 and Colony Wars (refer to Video Gameography below for full list of titles). Leaving Psygnosis in 1997, Wright was involved in the formation of Jester Interactive Ltd with the intention of bringing music creation and mixing to Sony's original PlayStation console. The MUSICtm and MTV Music Generator series received industry awards & accolades, and spawned several incarnations of the MUSICtm Software before Wright finally departed with his brother Lee to form Checkmate Solutions Limited to design a new range of eJay music sequencing software. In 2003, Wright formed his own multimedia company called Tantrumedia Ltd, involved in web space provision, website creation, software production, design & print and, of course, music. He also set up an official website to host much of his musical output under the name. In 2005, as well as releasing the Cold Storage double album ''Melt'', he designed a new version of the Dance & HipHop eJay music software for Empire Interactive, and made a return to Wipeout, this time for the Sony PSP with Wipeout Pure. 2006 saw Wright create more music for games, this time on Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PC for forthcoming titles. In 2008 Wright released his ''Android Child'' and ''Cold Storage HD'' albums. In 2009 Wright penned music for more games on DS, Wii and PS3, most notably ''Gravity Crash''. He also released his 4th Studio Album entitled ''Project Moonbounce 2009'' which features sounds created by bouncing radio signals off the moon as part of World Moonbounce or EME (Earth Moon Earth) day. The soundtrack album to Sony's PS3 game ''Gravity Crash'' is released in 2010 and is Wright's 5th Studio Album entitled ''Gravity Crash Anthems''. This is quickly followed by his 6th Studio Album, ''Tik Tak''. Wright creates his longest track ever ''Tangerine'' which weighs in at 9 minutes and 31 seconds. This track is given away free to anyone who participates in a 2010 Cold Storage Easter Promotion, and as such is a limited edition download, unavailable in the public domain.
