Artist commentary:

Marcy Nabors:

When approaching the concept of a song for the Green Sun, I knew that it would have to be very ambient. When making this song, I drew from sources of inspiration including Super Mario Galaxy and the phazon-related songs from the Metroid Prime trilogy. I tried to capture just how weird it would be to see an unfathomably massive star out in the middle of complete blackness, suspended in the void, stationary yet serving some great cosmic purpose.

Charles Neudorf:

This song would be entirely nothing without Absynth 5.

Mixt:

There's something about facing off against something so big - especially something with the mass of two universes - out in the middle of nowhere and nothing that is incredibly humbling, even if you are a god.

My first thought when thinking of the Green Sun is a surface of rolling, boiling fire, hotter and brighter than anything you've ever seen. Solar flares that reach distances you can't even imagine. I also had a brief flash to another celestial body with a turbulent, stormy atmosphere: Jupiter, whose Giant Red Spot I ended up making an allusion to.
