Artist commentary:
This one was so fun. The main thing about this Place is MIRRORS, and I probably chose the most straightforward way to incorporate that. The main synth (The first thing you hear) has a one beat delay on it, that takes like 30 seconds to decay fully. The delay bounces from left to right, y’know, mirrors. So with that long decay time, It keeps iterating on itself over and over. So writing it felt like a puzzle, because you had to make sure every note doesn’t just sound right with the other notes being played at the same time, but also has to harmonize with what was being played exactly one beat before, and a beat before that, and a beat before that. Mirrors!
