PL: Many fans feel that the Angel of Darkness was one of the best games in the series.  How did it feel working on such a revolutionary project with the London Symphony Orchestra? And how did it feel making music on such an epic scale?

 Peter: It was a fantastic experience and one I will never forget. It was a joy to work with such top musicians. The London Symphony Orchestra are the best musicians in the world, and I doubt many other orchestras would've played to the level they did in such a short amount of time, WITHOUT rehearsing beforehand. It was literally a case of here's the music for the first time, play it and they did. Fantastic.

 PL: What was it like to collaborate with Nathan McCree, Martin Iveson and Matthew Kemp on the Tomb Raider 3 soundtrack?
Peter: I didn't do a great deal on TR3, so didn't get to work with Nathan and Matthew. I did work with Martin, who was responsible for the SFX. I also wrote a piece of music, which was intended for the very last boss on TR3, but it was too late to add to the game, so I kept it for TR4.
PL: As someone who has had a wealth of experience with the Tomb Raider series, how do you feel about the work of Troels B. Folmann and his shaping of the new Tomb Raider music?
Peter: I feel really awful saying this, but I haven't actually heard his work. I did hear some audio in a demo I played a little while back, but I've yet to play the full release. What I did hear, I really liked, but would love to and will hear more soon.

PL: Looking back over your time with Core Design and your experience with the Tomb Raider games, what would you say was your best or your most defining moment and why?
Peter: Watching / listening to the London Symphony Orchestra play the Angel of Darkness opening theme tune. It was a VERY moving moment and something I'd not experienced before then and not since either. Three takes and they had it nailed.

 PL: Are you working on anything right now? Or what do you have lined up for the near future?
Peter: I'm managing an audio department and working on several projects simultaneously, which I can't disclose just yet, but they're next gen products and very exciting to work with.
