  "account": "Control Resonant composer Petri Alanko has expressed his belief that studios should prioritize their games' soundtracks and resist the use of AI-generated music. In an interview with TechRadar Gaming, Alanko revealed that he was brought onto the Control Resonant project very early in its development, allowing him to work on the soundtrack while still focusing on his previous project, Alan Wake 2. This early involvement, he said, significantly contributed to the better outcome of the soundtrack. Alanko cautioned that studios bringing in composers too late in the development process can severely impact the quality of the music. He strongly advised against using AI-generated music, stating that studios should value and respect their IP, story, and music if they truly care about their game. Alanko emphasized that giving love and time to the music would result in a higher value for quality and money, ultimately benefiting the gaming community as a whole.",
