Description
This game would be a kind of modern retro game. It would be a more modern art style, yet have some music thematic and visual elements to link back to the retro feel. I wanted a strong "chorus" so to speak, but felt as I was writing, the track seemed too slow. It seemed only fitting to crescendo into a final hectic chorus that could even bridge to a crazy boss battle. I intended this piece to be "Intergalactic Infestation" 's main title music, allowing the music in the game to be reworked and rewritten around the different leitmotifs. As for software I used Garageband IOS for the synths and the drums, and I used Reaper to arrange all the parts, as well as record the guitar parts and mix and master the whole song.

Message from the artist:
I hope everyone enjoys this. I had so much fun with this jam. Working along was a setback, and if there's ever a Composer Jam #3 I definitely would pick a partner, but this experience was amazing. I hope you can all enjoy listening to my work as much as I enjoyed making it.

Theme

How does it fit the theme?
When I read the theme of the theory that there is other life in the Universe, immediately I thought of Sci-Fi. I'm a huge Science Fiction nerd so this was perfect for me to create an outerspacy feeling arrangement. I tried to use different scales to create almost that early 90's sci-fi feel to the music, along with the breakdown before the final chorus to make it feel more modern.
