This is a mixture of a series of ideas and inspirations, my idea of this city would be an old and advanced population with strong earthly connections, I draw this mainly from FF7, so a theme similar to Aerith or Forgotten City. so a lot of elements tend to be more electronic than regular instruments, DKC1 and 2 evidently inspire the top line, some jungle and temple levels inspired my mind theatre about this specific abandoned city.

A big aspect of the production is thinking also about the platform and it's connection to the sound design, I've used essentially vintage synths (Dx7, M1 and CS-80) and the mix tries to replicate some of the ps1 flavour, with a bit of CD compression and tape saturation. It can be dirty on phone speakers though, but on my setup it was clean enough.
