He was mentored by a childhood spent in studios with his father Ralph Dyck, also a composer and technology specialist. "My Dad worked in R & D for Roland and was pivotal in designing the modern sequencer as we know it today. I got to hang around when he worked with artists such as Toto and Michael Jackson. I didn't know who those people were at the time, but I was constantly surrounded by music and the creation process. It was inevitable that creating music would become my life too."

Since then, Jeff has made it his life's work to evolve as a composer and technology specialist. In 1992, at the age of 23, Jeff began to make his mark as a composer/sound designer at Electronic Arts, working on classic computer game franchises including FIFA Soccer, NHL Hockey and the dynamic Need for Speed series.

After 5 years of sports games, Jeff was ready to take on more cinematic styles of composing. He relocated to Australia and contracted to companies around the world creating orchestral, electronic and ethnic/historical soundtracks.

During this time, one of the most successful independent game developers in the world, The Creative Assembly, were looking for a composer for their new Total War franchise and Jeff was the answer. In 2001 he was rewarded for their first collaboration with a BAFTA (British Academy Award) for the Japanese themed soundtrack to The Creative Assembly's Shogun: Total War - Warlord Edition.

The globally recognised BAFTA Interactive Awards reward the achievements in innovation and creativity in the new media industries.

Jeff was once again nominated in 2005 for his original music soundtrack for the computer game Rome: Total War.

The top-selling game, garnered a string of awards which culminated in a cover feature in December's issue of Time Magazine, two BAFTA nominations and three Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) nominations.

The Creative Assembly has an operation based in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, where Jeff is the Audio Director. In opening an Australian studio of this calibre, The Creative Assembly has recognised the technical talents and skills of Australian artists, audio engineers and programmers.

Jeff's music has proven so popular that The Creative Assembly have released soundtrack CDs of the Total War games.

@Shigo Shigo in more words: let's say its a Gaul vs Germania thing, I am Gaul:

I have Barbarian Cavalry ,and so after I send a unit of Swordsman to frontally attack the enemy german Spear Warband, I send the Cavalry to rear charge the enemy Spear Warband ; hoping they will break and rout
But, right after I send my said cavalry to successfully rear charge the enemy Spear Warband, the enemy send their General's Bodyguard (basically enemy cavalry ) to charge against My own Cavalry in its rear. Then this music starts to play.

It is basically like when absolute chaos begins in a battle; creating a sense of disorder, and extreme urgency, or in one word: Mayhem

hope I could clear it up :)

I haven't played Rome: TW since I was a teenager (and I've moved on the Warhammer editions of the franchise nowadays) but this track has been etched into my brain for more than a decade. Like, in retrospect, I'm actually amazed that a such a niche strategy game from 2004 had such an incredible soundtrack. Stuff like this needs to get Hanz Zimmer levels of renown and viewership

Mars, I remember 13 y/o me getting pincered by two Carthaginian armies in Sicily. Rushed the first army before the other could arrive in time. Not even a minute after I defeated the first army, the vanguard of the reinforcements arrived to my rear, and I quickly rallied my troops to face the second army. Although vastly outnumbered and my troops close to exhaustion, the Roman legionaries were victorious, with their general personally leading the charge. All while listening to this and Warrior March. Good times.

For me this moment happened with Macedonia while facing the greek city states. I took some serious losses while taking Corinth, much more than I expected, and decided to just abandon the city after plundering it before the two nearby greek armies could get to me. Turns out, I didn't make it quite far enough and the King of Macedonia and his heir got caught in a small forest by two full stacks. Outnumbered, I took the opposite approach and arranged my infantry in a semi-circle on top of a little wooded hill with grassy plains all around it and waited for them. My depleted phalanxes and heavy infantry with my son and heir in the middle, screened by lighter units and in the nearby forest across the plain were hidden away the King and all of my cavalry, still untouched from the siege.

My infantry took horrendous losses but somehow managed to hold, with my heir's bodyguard unit losing more than half their men. The cavalry went unnoticed until they smashed the Greeks in the rear, but even then it was a close call. Even with my cavalry easily routing theirs and taking their infantry in the rear, they still had to retreat and regroup and charge multiple times before the hoplites broke. It was an absolute slaughter and the hardest battle I can remember, but it's the music that makes me really remember it.

This was the first battle music I heard in Rome total war. It was in the tutorial and the timing could not be better as just prior to this I had the chorus section of Soldier's chant go silent. Making me think that it was a game feature to have the music change as two armies charged towards one another. God damn it i fucking love this game.
