It's all over the map and really depends on the type of game. For Mass Effect, I would get video playthroughs of a level. We'd spot the level with the audio director at BioWare (that means we figure out where music should and shouldn't go) and then I would write generally to picture. For ME2, "Suicide Mission" was different. The game director asked me for an epic piece to be used at the end of the game and he wanted me to write that first. When the end game level was completed I just retooled that piece to fit. Probably one of the best game endings ever IMHO. And the music fit perfectly. I'm very proud of that one!

Yeah I'm a little upset by that. They completely ripped that off. thanks for reminding me. I wanted to let the music director for EA know about that. It wasn't just close, it was a direct quote. I'm not sure why a composer would do that so intentionally. Of course you never know... there are only 12 notes.

Unfortunately, I will not be involved.

Really proud of the Myst games. They still hold up even though they are 16 years old. Mass Effect I like a lot because it's so original for a game. My recent score to Call of Duty Black Ops III I'm very proud of - especially the big band tracks for Zombie mode! Still working on my best work though...
