  Earthblade was formally revealed in December of 2022, and canceled in December of
  2024. It was in development for a number of years, and over that period of time
  I wrote quite a few pieces—both conceptual, and implemented tracks—that began to
  depict the world of the game. Because we’ll never get a chance to tell that story
  in game form, I decided to cobble together every bit of music I’d written for the
  game to the point of its cancellation in order to tell my own version of it.

  Across the Bounds of Fate, more so than a soundtrack, is a concept album. The music
  I wrote for the game is highly dynamic, in the tradition of what I wrote for Celeste.
  I took it many steps beyond, in ways that temporally-constrained pieces of music
  can’t really do justice. But I did my best to arrange them into the emotional arc
  of their progression, much like I would for any soundtrack release.

  A lot of my inspiration for the overall sound of Earthblade came from older animation
  and film. The huge Yamaha synths of Vangelis. The weird textures and combination
  of old synths & live strings of Joe Hisaishi’s score for Nausicaä of the Valley
  of the Wind. The haunting saxophone and percussive textures of Yoko Kanno’s work
  on Cowboy Bebop & Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. It’s a combination of
  sounds I really love and hope to explore on some other project in the future.

  For now, tuck in and enjoy around 30 minutes of music that paint the picture of
  what I hoped Earthblade might be.'
