FFO: Beneath a Steel Sky, Syberia 3 and Return of the Obra DinnFavourite Track: The Chase     Thomas Brunet took the time to answer a few questions we had about their work on the Chants Of Sennaar soundtrack. Here's what they had to say! Q1: It seems fair to assume that Chants of Sennaar is at the very least loosely based on the biblical story of The Tower of Babel. Did you use this concept as a jumping-off point for the soundtrack or any of its tracks specifically?A1:  Actually, the Tower of Babel appeared quite late and only as a quick way of pitching the game. Of course it has...

FFO: Kitsune: The Journey of Adashino, Sephonie, Demon Turf and Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure Favourite Track: The Shadow Queen   We were lucky enough to have Ariel Contreras-Esquivel answer a few questions about their work on the Blue Fire Original Soundtrack. Here's what they had to say!Q1: Blue Fire contains some exceptional boss battle music. Do you have any advice on how to approach scoring a boss battle? A1: Boss battle music is one of the funniest things to write in video games. These moments in general are used to introduce very important characters in the game/story, so here you can bring a powerful...

FFO: The Unfinished Swan, GRIS, Cloud and AER Memories of OldFavourite Track: Threshold Austin was kind enough to answer a few questions we had about his latest release Traveler - A Journey Symphony, and the rest of his wildly impressive VGM resume.

Did scoring the project feel closer to working on a film score or a video game?A1: This was definitely fully the combo of both. All the micro-sensitivity to picture that comes with film scoring but in...

FFO: Bionic Commando, Motor Crush, The Outer Worlds and VaneFavourite Track: Gardener (III) Ratvader was kind enough to answer a few questions we had about their work. Here's what they had to say! Q1: A couple of years ago you worked on the music for a side scrolling platformer called Wunderling. Were there any classic games from the genre you looked to for inspiration?A1: Loads of them! Mario of curse. I’ve been exploring different moods of musical expression these past years and rediscovered my love for films and the film music universe, even though it feels like Im just scratching the surface....

FFO: Portal, The Unfinished Swan, Manifold Garden and MystFavourite Track: Energy Failure  Damian Sanchez is the composer and audio director at the game studio Crema. He was kind enough to answer a few questions about their work. Here's what he had to say! Q1:  You have handled both the sound design and soundtrack composition for several projects in your catalog. Is it difficult to maintain a consistent sound palette and ensure all of the audio elements work together? A1: In my opinion, when you have a hand in everything, it's not that hard to achieve consistency as both, music as well as sound, share the same...
