about

“Sidewinder” comes from Fox’s upcoming Minecraft-inspired project Cartercraft, following the title track, “Cavediver”, “Nethergate”, and “Zombies in the Forest”. An avid gamer, Fox describes the track as an invitation for the listener “to chill out, sit back, relax and get trippy as the line between reality and game melt away into one smooth universe”. While inspired by Minecraft, the composition also reminds us of another composer and game: Shoji Meguro and his work on Persona 4. The lead piano melody evokes the same feelings of hopeful melancholy that the accompanying pieces to post-Persona confrontation self-acceptance did, while the funky guitar and bass transports us back to the streets of the sunny small town of Inaba. As it progresses, the drums of Fried Monk grow louder and more active along with the guitar, like rays of light and clarity busting through a fog: a triumphant finish. The name “Sidewinder”, to us, is left up to interpretation: the most common sidewinder is the snake, but in relation to games, it was famously the name of a map in the original Halo, which has since been re-created in Minecraft by the modding community.
