Replying to a redditor:

> Hi Austin. The Journey OST is incredibly fluid and seamless in its construction, which is all the more amazing when the back-and-forth process took so long. I'm curious as to which track was the "easiest" to compose and which was the most "difficult," and why? Thanks for being…

> The easiest was probably the main theme ("Nascence"). I wrote it the day I first spoke with Jenova, days after Flower came out. We met at the Sony Santa Monica office and he told me what he was looking for and by the time I had walked to my car in the lot, I heard it in mind completely. Very rarely is it so clear.
