One inspiration for the album was [progressive rock]. I'd say that influence is most strong in this track. Experimental musical form, meandering ideas, dramatic arc.
Although it's 100% synth and electronic drums, I tried to lean into the feeling of guitar riffs.
This was one of the most difficult tracks both to arrange and to mix.
@ektotherm I can definitely hear that influence now that you point it out. The first time I heard it a few days ago I got a very epic videogame soundtrack vibe from this, with sections of exploration and boss fight styles but the prog thing makes perfect sense too.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your inspiration and intention. It's interesting to know the context as intended instead of the usual inferences one makes.
