    [​IMG] Well folks, I'll be doing an interview with Inon Zur (he compiled the music for Throne of Bhaal and Icewind Dale 2, among other things), and besides the questions I'll come up with myself, I'd like some of your creative input. What would YOU like to ask the man?

    Post your questions here, and if I feel they're appropriate, they'll be asked! General questions are quite ok too, they don't all need to be strictly about the music.

    If you have the IWD2 soundtrack and want to ask something specific about any of the tracks there, post your question here as well.

    1. The Targos song "Skeleton of a Town" is so poignant and bittersweet....and quite different from any other piece of music in IWD2. What prompted that choice of music for the Targos segment and why is it so different from the other arrangements?

    2. The "Sherincal of the Chimera" is a very powerful piece of music. What provided the inspiration for such an arrangement?

    3. I would be interested in knowing which project's music (IWD2, Throne of Bhaal, etc.) has been the most fun and rewarding for you to create as an artist.

    4. Have any of the design studios, such as Black Isle, ever tried to censure or mitigate your creative artistry, or have you pretty much had a free reign to compose as you see fit?

    5. Is it possible to purchase a longer version of "Skeleton of a Town"? It's such a beautiful piece of music.

    6. Why is the Heart of Winter theme included on the IWD2 sountrack CD?

    Personally I'd like to know who else was involved in the making of the tracks. Also, where does he come from and the Recording Studio he used, if any.

    I'd also like to know if he came into contact with any of the developing team at any point, if so, whom?

    [​IMG] Will you marry me?

    :bigeyes:

    Did you take anything from the original IWD, such as musical themes, or even musical atmospheres, and incorporate them into your own compositions?

    If he likes his job. If he has a family. What kind of education he needed, if any.
