Witch's Cadence: (booklet commentary)

Eidolon Piracy song. Need I say more?

Okay but for real, this song was so fun to make. When I first started it, I really had no idea where I wanted it to go, but then when I added the NES pulse wave arpeggios and the low piano, it all clicked. At first the scratches were just really fast pitch bends on the voice sample, but then I found this awesome free scratch plugin that I could control with automation, so it turned out even more awesome.

I like to imagine that this whole song would play out while she’s pirating like Super Mario World, but she imagines herself as this epic hacker “hacking into the mainframe”, whatever that means... Also, I put her theme in the beginning from Volume 4. I don’t know if you noticed or not...
