This map features cassette blocks that turn on and off following asymmetrical time signatures (7/8, 10/8, and 13/8). You must make sure to count the subdivisions as you play in order to time various moves throughout the map. What made this track very interesting to compose is that the rhythmic layer is synchronized in-game to the cassette blocks (using a program called FMOD) while the ambient sustained layer underneath is not, so they are on separate loops that do not line up, so in every playthrough the song sounds slightly different. I had to write the track so that no matter where you were in the ambience loop, the rhythmic loop would still sound good underneath it. Fun times!

Huge thanks to:
Hydro0 for making the map
Vexatos for his insane coding work making these asymmetrical time signature cassettes work in game
All the other people who worked on Shattersong!
