When it came to looking for inspiration for this games OST, where did you start and where did it lead you?

Is there a favourite track you had in the game? How was the overall work environment at Carbine? was the atmosphere a great one? Login Music is still some of my favourite of all time, keep up the work :)

How did you come up with the Eldan theme? Did it take lots of experimentation or was it a rather random idea? That melody is definitely unique and one of the best things ever created in gaming OST.

Which faction was your favorite to compose music for? Exile or Dominion? >:) There were a few songs named "Story of the..." (Story of the Chua, Story of the Cassians, etc...) Was there a reason behind which races were chosen? That said, was there any unreleased Mordesh music?

I'm interested in the overall process. Following @DavidWCollins and his podcast, I've learned tons about movie scores and I wonder what the process is like for videogames. Thanks, Jeff. I still listen to the #Wildstar OST and miss the game.

Awesome idea Jeff! Did you start with making the complete WildStar main theme first or do you compose tiny snippets and finish them later in the process? Would love to hear/see how you start with composing after the briefing. Looking forward to seeing it. Kind regards

Ahhhhh! Awesome! For many of the zones/themes there seems to be primary instruments, the horns and piccolo(?) in Systematic Domination comes to mind. I know there can be some psychology behind them, but how did you come up with those combinations, inspired by something or...?
