Right around when Cherubim came out in March, I got a few requests to hear what the original sketches were for Red Sucker and Green Lolly. These were the skeletons that I gave the team. I worked with them through the process with input and suggestions on the pacing and structure, but they really took these simple ideas and ran in the best possible direction!

The cherubs are bizarre creatures, and everything about them is pretty far out there, so I focused on chromaticism in the themes to give it some off kilter base. Caliborn is (pardon my French) a little shit. He’s diabolical and selfish. I decided to base this skeleton on a minor triad to give it a darker tone right off the bat. Mirroring it on the Calliope sketch accidentally gave it a Kuja’s Theme tone to it, which I ended up loving. I immediately approached Kali about adding his own personal flare to it. I’ve always been a monumental fan of his compositions, especially TOTA, which was the sound I was looking for. He nailed it exponentially!
