Artist commentary for Wander:

Thomas Ferkol ✑ booklet commentary

Wander was the result of there not being enough Explore remixes. Back around the time I joined the music team, I was listening to Explore and thought the orchestration of the synths would translate well to strings. I'd also probably been listening to old Apocalyptica at the time, resulting in a cello ensemble with plodding gritty drum loops. While Explore soars above the remains of the world, Wander is grounded and more subdued. The interlude of ambient jungle noises was partially to reflect the world reverting back to nature, and the distant atmosphere and distorted portions are sort of the echoes and ruins left behind.

I made this way back when I first got on the team. I had wanted to make something involving Explore, so why not make it with strings? It does kind of suffer from its age, at least for me, and I can’t find its original file.
