name: Stephen "Big Al" Rippy
notes: 'Stephen Rippy is a Texas-based composer with over two decades of experience
  writing and recording original soundtracks for games.

  Since 1997, Stephen has provided music and sound design for a wide variety of titles
  and platforms - notable releases include Microsoft’s Age of Empires series, the
  spin-off Age of Mythology, and Halo Wars, as well as free-to-play mobile apps We
  Farm and Adventure Bay.

  In 2011, Stephen’s score for CastleVille won attention for its use of a live orchestra,
  a first for the social gaming developer Zynga. More recent work includes music for
  Boss Fight Entertainment''s Dungeon Boss and Anvil: War of Heroes.

  Maintaining a separate body of work as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist,
  Stephen has independently released eleven full-length albums - most recently 2019''s
  Lamplighting - and an instrumental EP (Points, 2012).

  Stephen continues to work in the Dallas area and is likely thinking about getting
  started on his next record.
