Hey Guys! Rich (Disasterpeace) here, I wanted to give you a glimpse into the very early process, concepting and sketching of the music for Hyper Light Drifter. This is the very first thing I've gotten the chance to write, and is by no means a finished piece of music. I envision what is here so far as the opening section of a much longer piece that plays during gameplay, which would evolve and grow right as this version of the track ends. It really is a brief glimpse, and the most preliminary, but maybe we'll look back in a few months and be surprised at how far we've come! Or maybe I hit the nail on the head, I guess we'll find out!

Hyper Light Drifter - Preliminary Sketch

"From childhood’s hour I have not been 
As others were—I have not seen 
As others saw—I could not bring 
My passions from a common spring— 
From the same source I have not taken 
My sorrow—I could not awaken 
My heart to joy at the same tone— 
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— 
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn 
Of a most stormy life—was drawn 
From ev’ry depth of good and ill 
The mystery which binds me still— 
From the torrent, or the fountain— 
From the red cliff of the mountain— 
From the sun that ’round me roll’d 
In its autumn tint of gold— 
From the lightning in the sky 
As it pass’d me flying by— 
From the thunder, and the storm— 
And the cloud that took the form 
(When the rest of Heaven was blue) 
Of a demon in my view—" - Alone by Edgar Allen Poe
