Tim Wright, known professionally as Cold Storage (stylised as CoLD SToRAGE), is a Welsh video game music composer most known for his work in video game soundtracks such as Shadow of the Beast II, Agony, Lemmings, Wipeout and Colony Wars.

His first commercial works were created using the Amiga in the early 1990s and featured in computer games published by Psygnosis. He left Sony in 1997 to form Jester Interactive, developing music creation software for home consoles, such as Music and Music 2000 for the PlayStation and MTV, and Music Generator and Music 3000 for the PlayStation 2, before leaving with his brothers to form Checkmate Solutions Limited.

At Checkmate, Wright developed several musical sequencing products for Empire Interactive plc. under the eJay brand. He subsequently left to form his own company, Tantrumedia Limited, where he composes music, designs music sequencing software and oversees the production of websites and other multimedia projects.[1]
