Steve Everson: (composer, Tumblr, excerpt)

My other favourite from Volume 5. It started life as a theme for the Aimless Renegade, inspired by a "Desperado" theme which I believe was written by Bolin back when he was still part of the team. I wasn't really running on any particular goal of contributing so much as liking the style and wanting to make something similar. Imagine the piece as it is now played by some sort of mariachi band and you might have the right idea of what it originally sounded like. Naturally, it didn't quite fit. I liked the melody but it just wasn't working for the whole desert hero thing. So I flipped through my library of voices (small though it was back then) and came across the more electronic one that plays the melody now. I re-tooled the accompaniment to fit, and it became a piece that I always considered a theme for Derse. Hence its title.

Happy 4/13, here’s the full version of the thing I did for the Volume 5 anthology project! I was assigned the song Underworld.

#this was tricky because the song has no leitmotifs so i had to figure out what underworld might have meant #i thought the closest thing would be when john travels to the center of the skaian battlefield to retrieve The Tumor
