'Nothing is obvious and nothing is rubbed into your face' — Control Resonant composer says 'in the end it’s all only music made with love and enthusiasm' and fans will likely uncover hidden easter eggs in the soundtrack years later

Control Resonant composer Petri Alanko emphasized that his approach to music creation involves exploring extreme depths to add layers of complexity. Each Resonant in the soundtrack comes with unique features in the concept track that fans may discover over time. Alanko explained that he intentionally hides easter eggs in the music, which could take years for listeners to uncover.

These hidden nods and winks pay homage to influential artists in the industry. The composer utilized various techniques, such as blending string section sounds and reamping hardware synths through speaker setups and microphones, a method he learned from sound engineer Konradi Conny Plank. Alanko shared insights into the creation of the Control Resonant enemies, with each having distinct elements in their concept track.

For instance, Hedron exhibits metallic, sequenced, and constantly moving sounds. The composer's passion for detail led to the inclusion of subliminal hints that may go unnoticed for many years. Alanko concluded that his ultimate goal is to create music filled with love and enthusiasm, with the most rewarding moments occurring when listeners discover hidden meanings after many years, such as Morse code messages.
