I had to compare myself to Bezbozny when recording this chapter.I love his rendition of this scene, and I’d recommend listening to it if you haven’t yet. It’s very victorious and vibrant. I intentionally avoided this for several months before my recording, as I didn’t want it to overly influence me. I went in a different direction in my rendition, which flowed more smoothly with the mood of the previous episodes, and I like what I did. But I think his rendition is just as good, and I’m glad the world can contain both and I don’t have to choose between them. :)

I knew I had to do something special for the flashback. Simply adding an echo wasn’t enough. I’d known for quite some time that I was going to use the background music from Max Payne’s dream sequence, as that’s the best “someone is breaking into my home and murdering my wife and infant son” scene that I can remember, ever. It took a fair bit of doing to remove all the stuff I didn’t want in there, and loop what was remaining to the correct length, but I’m very happy with the final result. :)

I felt that the normal HPMoR Intro/Outro of “Catch That Goblin” was a bit out of place for the Humanism arc. I wanted something darker, something foreboding. I was in the midst of a big Tool kick at the time, and “Wings For Marie”/”10,000 Days” seemed fitting, being both a lamentation of death and, in a way, almost a triumph over it.
