Original text

今作は有機的な生き物感のあるフィールドが多かったので、このフィールド(ダンジョン)は逆に無機物を強調する形にしました。工場の機械音や鉄のぶつかる音を主体にビートを組み上げ、そこに無感情なシンセリードから徐々に躍動感のある音色へスイッチし、更にエレキギターも加えて「無機物の織りなす有機的な律動」をイメージして仕上げました! 生のストリングスもあえて機械的に歯車のように演奏して頂くという贅沢な作りです。

This game has a lot of fields with a very organic feel, so for this field (dungeon) I chose to put emphasis on how inorganic it is. The main beat is formed from mechanical factory sounds and clanging metal, switching slowly from an apathetic synth lead to a more energetic tone, with an extra electric guitar added to complete the image of “an organic rhythm with inorganic parts woven in”! I specifically used live strings, but had them perform in a very mechanical, clockwork way, just to make the piece a bit more special.
