'I’d love to do a proper sci-fi score one day' — Control Resonant composer shares what kind of game he'd like to work on next, says 'one thing is sure: I’m not much good for a My Little Pony game'

Control Resonant composer Petri Alanko expresses his desire to one day compose a sci-fi score for a video game, while also stating that he is not suitable for working on cute or cartoon-like games like My Little Pony. In an interview with TechRadar Gaming, Alanko revealed his preference for emotional psycho-thrillers, as they provide ample writing opportunities and incorporate sci-fi elements.

He also mentioned working on another game soundtrack and a movie about a Finnish WW2 sharpshooter, Simo Häyhä. While Alanko respects film composers and their work, he feels that they have it relatively easier compared to game composers, who often deal with more complex projects. Alanko also shared his distaste for cute cartoon-like games, cozy games, rally games, and anything else that doesn't align with his personal taste. He believes studios should value music more and avoid relying on AI for composing.
