    Wow, I'm actually shocked to hear Rakozy hadn't heard Jeremy Soule's compositions from the older games. What a great interview!
    The Slytherin Common Room theme is hands down my favorite piece. So romantic and dreamy, and I'm glad they didn't want it to sound sinister. It was awesome to hear Rakozy used classic composers like Chopin as influence, because when I heard it for the first time I immediately felt it was Chopin-like!

      It's so lovely, it's like a lost Debussy piece or something...

    Scott's energy is infectious! I had no idea so much of this music (and Soule's?) was made with virtual instruments! I wonder what they're using, it sounds so good!

    15:16 - Costal is by far the best piece of music in the game in my opinion.

    Hi, do you think a HP3 PC remake/remaster with QOL improvements is a good idea? Would you take part in this journey, test and give tips? best regards.

    You know what would have been a refreshing change ? If the devs hadn't made the same mistake devs have been making since god knows when and that is not seperating the background music scores from the diegetic music in the game ! I like hearing an enchanted piano or painting but i can't stand looping over bearing background mood music and turning off one turns off the other.
