I have been a huge fan of Ms. Kajiura's work since I encountered it circa 2014 playing Xenosaga Episode II and then later, Episode III. Something about the way she arranges and never seems to rule out any instrument, but still maintains favorite sounds creates a very recognizable and beautiful style. I wanted to give the melancholic, slow melody of M01 time to be appreciated, then was excited to take the song to a higher climax with faster percussion and more intense trance-y synths - all while not straying too far from the source material.
