Might & Magic Heroes VII Music Q&A

Celestial Heavens has wrangled up a Q&A with Karin Mushegain, the popular opera singer who you might recall is working with Rob King and Paul Romero on the score for Might & Magic Heroes VII. The interview doesn’t cover much ground on the game itself, but I suppose it’s nice to take a break from the norm every once in a while:

Of all the music you’ve done for the “Heroes” games, do you have any favourites?

I think the new Heroes VII is by far my favorite!!! Paul and Rob hit it out of the park with this soundtrack! “Hope for Green Falls” is one of the most beautiful pieces Paul has composed, in my opinion of course!

…

You’ll be available for “Heroes VIII” when announced in the future? Yes? Yes? Of course yes, don’t be silly. Yes? Seriously, though: the fans of the series are very passionate about the music in the “Heroes” game series, effectively insisting that without Rob & Paul, it “wouldn’t be a proper “Heroes” game”. The opera sounds you bring in are also seen as an important part of that; it has become an integral part of the series. How does it make you feel that you have fans not just in opera circles, but also among the geeks and kids playing games?

I love my Heroes fans! Especially when my opera colleagues find out I sing on the games, and they’ve been playing them their whole lives…that’s so fun! I often get sweet emails from fans sharing their love and appreciation of the music; I love this!
