Composed by Eveline Novakovic. Recreated by me. This was made possible by using VGMTrans to rip the games data into MIDI format and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using the same patches that the game sources its sounds from, as well as recreations of the synth patches, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience
