Cage was also the winner of the 2005 Interactive Creation prize by the French Society of Authors, Composers and Playwrights (SACD), for his work on Fahrenheit, which he wrote and directed.


Quantic Dream

David Cage creates Quantic Dream in 1997. The studio's first project, Omikron - The Nomad Soul, is published by Eidos Interactive in 1999, winning more than 20 international awards and selling in excess of 600,000 copies on PC and Dreamcast. Time Magazine ranks the game engine amongst the best 10 technologies of 1999.


The game makes history by involving international star David Bowie, who composes the original music and acts in the game.


Between 2000 and 2002, Quantic Dream devotes its time to creating a new format, " Interactive Cinema ", and sets up a production infrastructure compatible with next generation console cycles.


Fahrenheit, to be published on PS2, X-Box and PC early in 2005, is the first project developed with these technologies and in this format. David Cage is again breaking new ground by producing a video game that blends cinema and interactivity.


Quantic Dream regularly collaborates with Microsoft's games division and elaborates new concepts in the domain of interactive narration for the X-Box 360.


The company also has one of the most advanced state-of-the-art Motion Capture systems in Europe. It offers its services and expertise in various forms to the worlds of film, television and video games.

David Ireland - The Original Crocodile Man (3061 words)
David complained bitterly that he was going to be alone in a mesh cage, at night, filming crocodiles and the power head was his last source of defence should the crocs destroy his cage.
David knew, if the snake bit him, he would not survive the time it would take to for Tex to get a boat out to the cage, he also knew he could not escape from the cage and swim to shore with over a dozen crocodiles in a feeding frenzy.
David drew the knife from the sheath strapped to his chest (see Knife photo) David then swiped at the snake, luckily his aim was true and the snake was almost cut in half, the bleeding snake sank to the bottom of the cage.
John Cage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3238 words)
Cage was an early composer of what he called "chance music" (and what others have decided to label aleatoric music)—music where some elements in the music are left to be decided by chance; he is also well known for his non-standard use of musical instruments and his pioneering exploration of electronic music.
Cage described his mother as a woman with "a sense of society" who was "never happy." It was not obvious from his early life that he would become a composer; he was born into an Episcopalian family, and his paternal grandfather regarded the violin as the "instrument of the devil".
Cage wrote very precise instructions in the score about how the performers should set their radios and change them over time, but he could not control the actual sound coming out of them, which was dependent on whatever radio shows were playing at that particular place and time of performance.
