This first started as an attempt to integrate a breakbeat with an old
chiptune I had written, and I ended up combining several melodies that
were not powerful enough on their own, into one large idea.

I had originally envisioned this as an escape from a huge castle, with the
fanfare at the beginning and then devious stirrings of tension... I ended
up going way out of line with cheesy chord progressions. Some Necros
influence here, and believe it or not I used one 4-chord transition from
the fight music in Laguna's scenarios in FF8. See if you can find it :D

At the end, the last pattern with drums in it, the chord progression is a
variant of the type used in the Back to the Future theme. I've never been
able to get it before, and I'm fucking proud, because it's complicated!



In all, I think this captures the "long journey together" so it was
fitting for Tasha and Robbit. Mazel Tov, guys :D

Most samples taken from
Mr.D, who took them from
me in the first place, so
I'm ripping my own samps!
