Prologue
Rich Vreeland, on the Composition
You encounter a mysterious force and the journey begins. This piece was initially an attempt to update The Solar Prime Elite (see my album, Deorbit) for inclusion on the album Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar. It proved difficult but ultimately worked out as the prologue for the album, albeit in an abridged format.
David Peacock, on the Arrangement
Translating this one was a challenge. Finding a way to interpret arpeggiated synth chords into something one person can play on piano was a great exercise in creatively approaching the material.
Augustine Mayuga Gonzales, on the Performance
Performing this piece reminded me very much of Impressionistic composers like Debussy or Ravel, especially when playing the "water-like" arpeggiated figures. Well articulated fingers coupled with a refined use of pedal help to create these glossy sounds.
I really love this soundtrack. Minecraft was often my safe place through the struggles of my life during middle school. I will forever cherish the many memories I made through the game, and each of those memories is attached to a song from this album.
Living Mice will always put the picture in my head of a square sun setting over the horizon of erratic, blocky terrain.
