Hi Sam! Big fan of your work on the Mass Effect series - thanks for sticking through all 3 games!

I just had a few questions:

1) How much story/background info did BioWare give you for each piece of music you had to create?

2) The last few tracks (starting from "I Was Lost Without You") on the ME3 soundtrack have incredible emotional appeal and work extremely well with events that transpire. How much did you know about their intended use while composing? I really liked the "Spectre Induction" theme brought back on "The Fleets Arrive!"

3) What was your favorite composition across the ME series?

4) Do you play video games? If so, which ones would you consider to be your favorites?

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Regarding #2, each time I hear the ME3 soundtrack, "I'm Proud of You" and "An End Once And For All" still bring a real sense of sadness as I go back to my first playthrough and how emotionally wrenching the final hour or two of the game were. Thanks for all your awesome work!

Sounds like you're keeping on your gaming with all those recent releases!
