For the combat and boss songs in this album, I took inspiration from the rhythm sections of Mario RPG. I wanted to experiment with making high energy situations without heavy or stacked instruments, so I used heavy syncopation and a melody that builds tension throughout

Here, I made the composition more sparse. The lead has heavy reverb as to sound more distant as if one’s consciousness were fading. The rhythm, while minimal, is designed to mimic scratchy breath, scuttling steps, and heavy heartbeat all in one.

This song is made of 3-4 usable levels, and it has a paired song in the album (that will be posted next week) which is rearranged with lower energy to demonstrate low health (this piece also has 3-4 usable levels).

@GmerGeek17 It was the only time I had all three, what a time to be alive (although technically the Xbox was my brother’s and the PlayStation was my sister’s)

@BarrierXI With the facial expression I’d say sick or poisoned, but without that I guess it could just be smelly
