Pipko Fanfare: (Composer)

It's hard to believe I've been with this team since vol 1 and here on our final album is only my second truly original song contribution! (Endure was the first.) While Endure was a pretty typical toby-foxish-action-song, I think this one is a bit more sophisticated. Compositionally it's VERY simple - most of it doesn't even have a real melody! - but the effects work is some of my best to date. There are so many more interesting ways to represent The Corruption and how it seems to distort things we are familiar with than just intentionally using amateurish off-time melodies. Distortion, bitcrushing, reverse, stutter - used in a certain way, these kinds of things can be like the jpeg artifacts of audio in my opinion.
