Hey Marty, I used to follow you pretty avidly on Twitter when I still had one. You and Michael's work has left an impact on my life that won't be forgotten, I broke into tears at the end of Halo 4 at the credit sequence when hearing Kazuma's rendition of Never Forget and knowing how of a profound love I have for both the music of this series and everything else Halo has encompassed for me as a gamer.
I'm a little confused as to how the job of a composer works. I know a lot of games contract composers for the soundtrack or a few pieces in it (like Hans Zimmer did the main theme and some derivatives for Crysis 2 which were fantastic) But then I wonder why you haven't been or done scores for movies or other video games. I know you also worked in the sound department for Halo but I just find it somewhat strange you aren't in the same spot that Zimmer or guys like him are in right now when your reputation goes well before you.
So to get to the point Is this by personal choice or can you shed some light into how this all works?
P.S. This is similarily upsetting due to how I loved the work of Matthew Harwood (who worked under KAOS for Frontlines: Fuel of War and Homefront, who both have fantastic scores that go beyond the game itself) and yet the only other thing he's done work for seemingly is Infinite Crisis.

Two things I wanted to ask you.
Have you heard this beautiful take on the Halo theme? I just wanted to make sure that of all people, you heard it.
