The third character exposé track from the novel I've been working on since before Christmas. This one is the theme song of the novel's main character's second incarnation: Miranda Baxter. The immortal that was Tony Degagné takes over Miranda's body sometime between the end of Chapter 1 & the beginning of Chapter 2 in the book. We first meet Miranda when she is still mortal & she meets Tony for the first time. We find out that she owns a used bookstore, but the store is suffering hard times because of the debts she owes to some unsavoury loan sharks. Miranda decides to sell her soul to what she calls a Demon (actually a Fallen Immortal who buys & sells mortal lives), which the Immortal inhabiting Tony's body has purchased in order to help him Fall. But once Tony becomes Miranda, his hopes of peace beyond the reach of the Protomaton are quickly doused. People from his old life begin to appear, threatening her new found freedom.

Similar to the other OST tracks, this is built entirely in Jeskola Buzz using samples from Loopcloud & the lovely tones of DSK The Grand, & DSK BassZ VSTi's. I controlled both the Matilde Tracker & DSK The Grand using an Akai MPK Mini 3, recording the MIDI directly into Buzz - which was a bit of a first for me. I'm really pleased with how this all came together once I added the vocal samples. I couldn't have asked for this to work out better. I hope you enjoy!

See You In The Shadows…

Miranda's Theme
============

I move past the fear of losing everything
I move past the fear of losing everything

Oh no, I won't break apart this time
It took too much time
Too much time
To get to a place where I feel fine
So many days went by
I won't go back to when I was fine
Always takes so long
Moving forward I won't return
Nightime turns to day
I won't break apart again
I won't break apart again
Oh ya ya yeah

I move past the fear of losing everything
I move past the fear of losing everything
I still got a lot to learn ya ya ya
I still got a lot to learn ya ya ya
