“You know, I only became certain that the songs would feel appropriate when I saw them added to the game. This experience really marks the first time I have ever composed for such a title. There are no protagonists battling monsters or saving princesses, no dire tragedies, love affairs, or maniacally laughing villains. Even halfway through the process of composing I felt I was in unfamiliar territory.
I often find myself thinking about this subject of the role of music in video games. The last thing I want to do is create something mechanically, entirely according to convention. While the music for this game was in the classical style, I did not want to imitate moments in the history of classical music. Adding emotional variety to the soundtrack then was an added challenge. It always makes me glad to hear from people that in the end the music managed to suit the game well. My feeling is that the instrumental performances were significant in providing that result.”

this is far more amusing to me now that I actually do have a fever
I’m not sure if it’s from the fact that the joke is more applicable to my life or that I’m delirious
