Medwyn Goodall

Medwyn Goodall (born in 1961) is a composer, musician and owner of record label MG Music. He is mostly associated with the New Age genre. He was born in Yorkshire, England. He lives with his wife Wendy in Cornwall, England. According to AllMusic, "Goodall began composing original songs as a teen, earning local notoriety with his band Trax; in the years to follow, he learned to play a vast range of instruments, including mandolin, piano, drums, harp, flute, glockenspiel, panpipes, vibraphone and synthesizer, and cut his first album at age 26". He is a prolific recorder, having recorded over 75 albums. He also topped the UK music charts twice and sold over three million albums. His first album was "Emergence" (1987), published by New World Music. His early albums were published also by Oreade Music. Medwyn Goodall started MG Music in 2003. This is a record label which specializes in New Age music.
He produced albums on which he arranged, performed, mixed and mastered every song, although his album, "OM" (2007), was produced together with Terry Oldfield and "OM 2" (2009), was produced together with Aroshanti. There is an updated list of his albums at MG Music and at AllMusic web sites.
Many of Goodall's recent releases have been under the alias Midori. He explains that he chose this alias so he "could record projects that were more ethnic, eastern, or produced for the healing arts" without confusing fans of his other music. However, there are also other musical artists using or known by the name Midori (such as the jazz-punk combo Midori and the Japanese violinist Midori Goto).
One of Goodall's tracks, "Free Spirit" from his album "Meditation & Visualisation" (2001) features the same Spectrasonics "Distorted Reality" sample featured in the "Summer Forest" music in the video game , as composed by Stewart Copeland.
