An interview with composer Jeremy Soule (he did, amongst many other tracks, the music for Icewind Dale) can be found at YiYa.de - and it's an interesting article for sure. Have a look at this snippet:
    Q: An amount of people already call you the John Williams of computer soundtracks. Are you proud of this or does it rather restrict you in your work?

    Well, what John Williams did for film scores is that he brought respectability back to orchestral methods of scoring movies. A lot of movies during the early Star Wars era were using cheesy 70's pop tunes for their scores. People have mostly forgotten these movies. The orchestra, however is a timeless medium. It's NEVER out of style. If anything, I hope my orchestral works in software survive the tests of time. Would you rather like to continue to set games into music or are movie soundtracks and concerts works more demanding to you? Movies are easier for me to score and provide a different creative experience. Yet, I plan to continue my game career for years. It's just too much fun!
