Andrew Gregory Sega (b. 20 May 1975), also known by the pseudonym Necros, is a musician known for tracking modules in the demoscene of the 1990s. Sega began writing music circa 1992, releasing music with various music disks such as Epidemic (1994), which featured artists such as Purple Motion (Jonne Valtonen) and Skaven (Peter Hajba).
Sega later helped form the legendary tracking group Five Musicians, which featured other notable figures, such as Jeroen Tel, Basehead and Hunz. He is also responsible for several demoscene productions (such as the NAID '95 demo Eden) and later in his career started making music for games, beginning with little known ones such as In Pursuit of Greed and Iron Seed, then moving on to Origin Systems' Crusader series. Some of his tracks were later used in the first-person shooters Unreal and Unreal Tournament. He worked as a programmer on Freelancer, and some of his music was included in that game as well.
As The Alpha Conspiracy, Sega released two albums, Cipher (2001) and Aura (2004) and an album with another artist, the Low Technicians, Forward Rewinding (2002).
Sega has also taken part in other projects such as the electro-pop group Iris, and has his own recording label known as Diffusion Records.
