Quotes

"Certainly being connected to Lord of the Rings didn't hurt my situation, but that doesn't explain why game music from other similar high profile titles never finds an audience. For that matter, the excellent work done by Brad Spear, who composed the beautiful, rich score for The Fellowship of the Ring game, never found this kind of audience, nor has the recent award-winning soundtrack from The Hobbit. So it's more than just an attractive franchise and a cool soundtrack. It's a formula I've been working on since my early days as Senior Music Director at Sierra Online."

"As for me, my official credit reads: 'Live Orchestral and Choral Music by Chance Thomas'. Funny story, there was actually a mix-up with my credit in the printed booklet. A friend called me a couple of weeks ago and said, 'Hey, what gives? They've got you listed in some obscure place, like next to extra appreciation for Crispy Cream Donuts.' I actually don't mind close proximity to donuts. But Turbine tells me it's all been corrected now in their online credit list."
