Rowyn Berlan: (composer, booklet commentary)

So this song was the result of by far one of the smoothest writing processes I've had and boy do I love how this turned out. I went into making Broken Dreams with a bassline in mind and had a little trouble getting it to sound good since it was originally in a different time signature than everything else. From there I wrote the right panned square and doubled it up for harmony cause I be like that. Then I wanted to add the Ruins bit from Skaian Shrapnel, so I carefully transcribed it into a different key while testing out like 100 different square sounds just because. Now writing the other half of this song was so fun especially since I found ways to fit in some more motifs and then messed around with manual delay which brings us to it's completion... oh yeah I should talk about the songs thematic purpose shouldn't I... So Broken Dreams is simply just a song about Alpha Jack wrecking shit up on Prospit and the name is pretty self explanatory.
