'Dylan is an involuntary hero, although he chooses to become one, he just doesn’t know it in the beginning' — Control Resonant composer explains the design process for Dylan's theme song, revealing his track 'is essentially Jesse's theme backwards'

Control Resonant composer Petri Alanko shared his process for developing Dylan's theme song, explaining that it is essentially Jesse's theme played backwards. Alanko revealed that while Jesse's theme was more about power, Dylan's theme is a source of growth, as it represents the protagonist's journey from nothing to becoming a superhero.

Alanko stated, "Dylan’s is more upward-reaching, as if it was asking for permission for Dylan’s existence." He explained that the scale of the protagonist is larger in Control Resonant, and Dylan's theme appears throughout the game, with changing harmonies depending on the events. Alanko highlighted that Dylan is an involuntary hero, not fully aware of his role until he chooses to walk the path of becoming a superhero.
