In my opinion, the best music shouldn't always be up in your face all the time. This song represents that perfectly. sometimes the music should be somber.

I wonder if the resemblance of that orb to an eye of ender or enderpearl was intentional.

[@bronze1557]

This series takes inspiration from a lot of videogames, I don't know the actual answer but I wouldn't be surprised if it is an actual reference

[@jedizombiekiller9065]

Joel G. said that was a coincidence, he barely played Minecraft before.

[@sanaki_gamer2026]

@@jedizombiekiller9065 That's strange, he mimicked the exactly effect of the Eye of Ender, purple particles, sound, texture and even guiding you to somewhere important, and the Ender Portal too looks like a Fountain. All was coincidence??

Legit, fave part of any ENA Episode. It’s just so mysterious compared to anything else, and that strange purple dude at the red water doesn’t even talk to ENA, but that’s me assuming they can talk. Anyhow, your music is wonderful! 👌✨

The voices at the 1:00 remind me of something, some song but I can't remember it at all. Can I know if you found inspiration for that part somewhere?

[@OliverBuckland]

not on this occasion, but I'm sure there's a lot of subconscious inspiration hidden somewhere. I keep a large folder of recorded sounds and edited samples labelled "Useful" which I dip into when I get stuck. Here, the voice is from a previous piece of mine, but a little bit mangled. Try reversing it!

[@silksong7277]
