Level 13

A fast, repeated pattern of descending broken triads underneath a legato digital melody signifies the 13th Level of Prime Empire, which transports players into the game.


Artificial Intelligence

A seven-note phrase and its variation represent the sentience of the AI’s in Prime Empire along with their journey of breaking their programming. When in relation to Okino, it is played with his instrumentation, while with Racer 7 and Unagami, the instrumentation is always electronic.
