The Crunchyroll Network interviewed Noriyuki Iwadare, composer for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies (and a few others...), at the 2013 Japan Expo back in August.

A few interesting tidbits that are Ace Attorney related:

Quote:
That's pretty much describing how I felt when I was playing Phoenix Wright during the heart pounding court scenes.

Iwadare: I do the same when composing for Phoenix Wright to imagine myself in the courtroom, too. At the same time, I try not to get too influenced by the jokes in the game scenario because that will change the feel of the Phoenix Wright music.


Quote:
Phoenix Wright also plays with the gap between the seriousness of the music and the light-hearted scenes in the game.

Iwadare: I never receive the scenario before I make music for it. I have no idea how the game is when I'm composing so that I don't get too influenced and accidentally compose spoilers into music. The music for the series is always on the serious side, but the game has many different sides to it. I was never told the details of the Phoenix Wright scenario either. I only had the list of characters with their personalities and other than that, I worked on updating the arrangement of the music that always gets included in the series. I'm currently playing the game (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies) myself and discovering many facts saying "Ah ha! That's what happened!" (Laughs).


Quote:
That sounds fun to be able to enjoy your own work from the point of view of the players!

Iwadare: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies has animation scenes. Thanks to that, I had more clues than ever before. I knew when Miles Edgeworth comes into the game because of it, but I didn't know the context of how he comes in, so I was wondering "Who is this old man?" when I was working on the music.

Quote:
Who is your favorite character from the series?

Iwadare: I have to say it's Phoenix Wright himself, since he is the main character and I was focused on him for a long time. My PC wallpaper is him in the court. I get myself worked up with the wallpaper while working on Phoenix Wright project.


And there is an interesting last sentence in this quote...

Quote:
How about a favorite female character?

Iwadare: I forgot the name but she is in Ace Attorney 2, but the title has not been released in North America. She dresses like a ninja (we found out that it was Kay Faraday). She was really memorable to me and I put extra something in the music for her. It's too bad that Ace Attorney 2 is not available in US. If fact, I met Capcom USA people the day before yesterday and asked them directly for the release here with Tatsuo Iwamoto (the series character designer, another guest at Japan Expo) since we both worked on it, (laughs).

What they don't even give out scenario details to their composers? Hm, maybe that's why some pieces are always hit or miss for every game. I don't have a problem with Iwadare, but I feel like they're playing it too safe by constantly bringing him back. He's not really a part of how Ace Attorney was born, and I wish they're gonna explore having different composers for future series. I liked his work in T&T to some extent, but his style for the series is tiring out imo. Too much electric piano everywhere, and Tell The Truth in GS5 is way too similar to Tell The Truth 2004.

Also, there's too many art-pauses or advanced/complex rythyms in the GS5 soundtrack while some tracks have too much of an everyday song-like composition. I really want them to get someone else for GS6, and then they can do whatever they want for GK.
