Composing Dark Star Thresh's Music: Behind the Scenes
A little look in to the thought process behind Dark Star Thresh's music. It's quite interesting in my book.

Thanks guys!
Young Iranon, I used to read a lot of HP Lovecraft when I was younger, and has served me well in my work as a composer :)
Thanks for playing and happy holidays!
It's a part of this new Nexus article, by the way: Developing Dark Star Thresh
The music for this skin was starkly appropriate. It always brings me back to Lovecraft's "The Music of Erich Zann".
"A sudden gust, stronger than the others, caught up the manuscript and bore it toward the window. I followed the flying sheets in desperation, but they were gone before I reached the demolished panes. Then I remembered my old wish to gaze from this window, the only window in the Rue d’Auseil from which one might see the slope beyond the wall, and the city outspread beneath. It was very dark, but the city’s lights always burned, and I expected to see them there amidst the rain and wind. Yet when I looked from that highest of all gable windows, looked while the candles sputtered and the insane viol howled with the night-wind, I saw no city spread below, and no friendly lights gleaming from remembered streets, but only the blackness of space illimitable; unimagined space alive with motion and music, and having no semblance to anything on earth. And as I stood there looking in terror, the wind blew out both the candles in that ancient peaked garret, leaving me in savage and impenetrable darkness with chaos and pandemonium before me, and the daemon madness of that night-baying viol behind me."
