You can find my whole spiel about the various artists that we worked with in the past two seasons here: The Music That Created Rebirth

This post is specifically about the music that was used in Episode 13 - possibly the darkest and most personal episode of the two seasons of Rebirth.

Ghost I-IV

I have always wanted to use the tracks from the "Ghost I-IV" album by Nine Inch Nails. They have always been in the back of my mind when I step into a new project. I ask myself, "does it make sense for this one?" The answer has mostly been, "no... No it does not..." Until this episode!

The music is dark and brooding much like the two to three weeks that Team Liquid went through.

I try and create an atmosphere by handpicking the music that shapes each episode. For once the use of their tracks from "Ghost I-IV" made so much sense. "Ghost I-IV" was released in 2008 - two years before Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would create the masterpiece that is the soundtrack/score for "The Social Network". Said film and score that accompanies it were a driving inspiration for me during the duration of this series.

So I finally had my shot to make it work. When we got into editing, I brought up the idea of using Ghost to Seth. Being a huge NIN/Raznor/The Social Network fan, he was on board quicker than I could download the music. download the music. While editing the night away, we split the project into two parts. Luckily the music and our styles merged nearly perfectly once we finalized the project.
