Notably, Chris Vrenna, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, composed the music for American McGee's Alice. In an interview about the game's music, Vrenna revealed that in order to accurately capture the feeling of the Victorian era, and the creepy atomsphere in the game, he disallowed himself from using a modern electronic sound and synth drum samples (things he was used to being in Nine Inch Nails). Vrenna composed the soundtrack largely with instruments of the time, toy instruments, and various children's toys. Vrenna also used environmental samples, such as door slams, clock ticking, and ratchet noises, in order to make the musical rhythms more organic, as if the music was being generated by the world Alice was in.
According to an interview with the website Bloody Disgusting, Vrenna actually made more music than what was required for the game. All the extra tracks were officially released as a part of the game's soundtrack. Notably, the soundtrack versions of songs contain vocal samples from various characters. This was done as a means of telling the story of the game using only audio. Another notable thing about this is that some of the vocal samples used (such as the case with the Ending Theme) is that the lines are actually unused in the final game, but appear within the game's files.
Another thing is that this interview confirms that a console port was in development (most likely the PS2), but it never came to fruition, most likely due to the closure of Rogue Entertainment only a year after the game came out.
Here is the interview where he discusses the game's music.
