"As the sound director for Elite Force, you are probably under some heavy pressure to match wits with Jerry Goldsmith (composer and conductor of most ST films), and James Horner (composer and conductor of ST II - The Wrath of Khan). Does that impact your work at all?
Ravensoft: Heh, I try not to think about that too much. They certainly have set the standard for the type of music that is associated with Star Trek productions. Since we are trying to recreate the feel of that universe, I considered it important to try and make music based on their compositions and orchestration. However, I think we are talking about some pretty different things. Composing for film or TV is different than games. You can make the music fit what you see on screen because it will pretty much always happen the same way. In game music, you never know what might be going on visually while your music is playing. So, the music needs to be approached in a different, more subtle way. Although the thematic and stylistic example of these composers was a guide and influence, I did not try to recreate their music."
