CNNMoney talks to Harmonix founders Eran Egozy and Alex Rigopulos about starting the company:

ALEX: As we were finishing grad school at lab, we were doing work in an area so weird that I figured no one would actually pay me to do it. Getting a job didn’t seem like an option. Starting a company was the only avenue at my disposal to continue to do the type of work that I wanted to do.

And about developing its latest product, The Beatles: Rock Band:

ALEX: Yoko was sitting on the couch pointing out that no, she wanted John’s eyes to move that way…

That would be a weird day at work.
