Beau Brian: (composer, booklet commentary)
One day I opened up my DAW to find out that I suddenly had more plugins, since that's apparently just a thing that has happened on multiple occasions and will probably keep happening until the end of time. This time, the plugins happened to be effects, (as they usually are, but new instruments have made their way into my catalog without me updating anything once or twice) so I immediately put them to work to see any real applications they could have, notably on that static-ey, bitcrushed piano heard through the song.
This track is also just a little bit inspired by Track 17- Chromaphasia's "Outer Veil," and a little bit of Terraria music since a lot of the team had been playing a lot of Terraria together around the time this track was made. Terraria was just stuck on the brain, and I really dug the vibe Chroma gave off with "Outer Veil," and though I didn't really keep the same vibe as either of the two, especially near the later parts of the song, they did get me started on this.
I also figured I just didn't make enough LoWaS tracks, and wanted to hear some more of those.
