I mean, I appreciate them for what they are - I think Nobuo Uematsu does a great job, is a very capable composer, etc - but ultimately, it's schmaltzy, cliche-ridden, and sentimental.

I'll update the website (with news whenever I'm able to spill the beans:) Wow, I'd love nothing more than to mention each one, but right now they're all under a tight lid. That music fit the game so well, and added to the whole ambiance of the game making you feel so much more a part of it.

I've also always been a Grim Fandango music fan. I just played through the Far Cry demo, and enjoyed the implementation of the music there and how it interacts with events. Q: Is there any other game you've played where the music really struck you as being important to gameplay?

I rarely get the time to play through an entire game, but I do like to see what's going on with everything that's hot in the market. I try to play as many games in part as I can.

Q: What games do you enjoy playing in your free time? The challenge was more in what to expect from the public, who I'm glad to say ended up giving an incredible amount of enthusiasm, support and acceptance to the score.

Q: Which section of music did you enjoy the most, where you felt it truly nailed the atmosphere perfectly? I then created a palette based on sounds that were interesting to me, blended them together to come up with a feel for each place that I felt would benefit from theme or ambient music.

It left the door wide open to come up with something very fresh. That's actually part of what made it interesting to me, the fact that I could write some music that has a modern day feel to it, and other music that comes from no period or culture in particular. How did you come up with music to suit each area? Q: Part of the charm of the Myst worlds is that they are all fantastical - combining elements from different regions and periods in earth's history. I was initially involved with Cyan doing sound design for Riven, so I had a relationship with them for several years before URU, and moved to Spokane when the development got underway. Q: How did you first get involved in doing sound work for URU?
