Command Mission is the lovable odd child of the MMX series, being the first (and only, presently!) RPG of the franchise. Stuck in a non-canon timeline, the game still has some great character designs, catchy (if short) tunes, and a nice campy narrative that fits the overly dramatic tones I want X games to have! I've wanted to remix something from the game for a while now and found my angle to shoot for.
The game's soundtrack overall is full of short loops, which let me experiment with composing a song that adds, or takes away, from its melody with each lap of the song rather than veering into more wild structure shifts as a mix up. I also took some KH2 and DKC1 influences for some tonal / instrument decisions, which I personally think work well for the mood / context of the piece.
The song is primarily composed of the Arturia Augmented line, Shreddage Hydra and Rogue guitars, and Synth1 with some other accompanying VSTs for strings and percussion.
