A little stranger melodically, the hook of the track relies on the sound design of the duduk-inspired lead. It was surprising (and welcomed) to find a wider possibility of instrument design than stereotypical square waves associated with Game Boys.
As with many tracks, tower_of_vera didn’t start out with a concept (or name) in mind, but once the melodies and harmonies started coalescing, it began conjuring the feelings of tall and mysterious tower-dungeons in Pokemon and other adventure games of the era.
