Diamante mentioned that the Sixaxis controls influenced the way he wrote his music. He called it a "soft type of control" and that "you can feel that there is a texture to the way you fly through the air." This texture, he added, would determine how he'd write music for "the winds." Conversely, Diamante also influenced the game design: "I had the opportunity to talk with the artists about the arrangement of flowers: tightening up lines of flowers or stretching them out, replacing red flowers with white flowers, and so forth so that the sound would work."
Lastly, those gamers looking to score a soundtrack might be in some luck. Diamante revealed he's in talks with Sony to put out an album; though, he does say the music lends itself more to the game experience over that of an album experience. Have a read of the full interview here.

I am excited about this. Flower has everything that I've been looking for in a game, a compelling story, amazing controls, a beautiful soundtrack, and graphics that could potentially rival Killzone 2. Now I can relax with the sounds of Flower while driving home...I love you Sony.

This is true.
As well as releasing the music in mp3, Jenova and friends should:
Full Bloom Mode = available after completion, the game plays thru it's levels in a random order with the AI controlling the petals. The AI takes different routes to the petals at different speeds to keep the music generation and flower hits fresh.
It'd be kind of like a fancy, music-infused screensaver.
make it so :-D
