COMPOSER COMMENTARY - Mom I frew up:
So this song starts as most others do, in Japan. I was stuck on the Spooper theme for a long time, since (SPOILERS FOR THE WAMBU VIDEO) Wambu had told me that Spooper was his top spot, and thus I wanted to do something special for the little (?) guy(?).
I had just missed the last train to my hotel, and so I resigned myself to my fate and walked two hours there. While walking through the Tokyo streets, I listened to an album called "Ugly Season" by Perfume Genius. The sound of that album (particularly the song Hellbent) inspired the vibe I was aiming for, especially in its synth and guitar (?) work, creating vast soundscapes that reminded me of Spooper's spores that envelop the air and [I WANT THIS SONG TO BE ADVERTIZER FRIENDLY].
Although Ugly Season was a huge inspiration, I was also trying to hit a sound close to Akira Yamaoka's The Reverse Will (which is one of Wambu's favorite songs, btw.) so he would like it. What was the point I was making. I don't know. I forgot because I keep thinking about how awesome Wambu is. I love you Wambu (:

I really liked Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion, I thought it was a delightful little game, but it left me wanting to have my own little spin on the soundtrack, so I decided to give it a fresh coat of paint! (or in this case, sound.) I hope you all enjoy it!
She Found Pictures in my Email - Composer Commentary:
EDIT 13/12: Original title was a shitty Kanye reference. Fuck him and fuck antisemitisim.
Anyway, like that lyric from that one song, I hate Specimen 10 with a burning passion, because it was the most effective specimen out of all of them for me. On my playthrough of the game it was the most persistent among all of the other specimen. Playing the waiting game with this god forsaken parasite made me lose my mind (on one attempt I died at room 975!) Obviously the main inspiration for this theme was the main theme for The Thing, among John Carpenter’s other compositions. I wanted the player to feel as though this Specimen was unstoppable, similar to the pressure I felt during Specimen 7’s main event.
