“[Throne of the Mad God] is the final piece of ambient music in Temple of Osiris, played in the walkway leading to the final confrontation with Set. Originally, Alex Wilmer (our audio director) had temped this scene with an ambient cue from Tomb Raider Legend that used Nathan McCree’s original Tomb Raider theme, and I thought it was a brilliant way to pay homage to that score while conveying the calm-before-the-storm feel this area needed. So I created my own piece that juxtaposed the bravery of McCree’s theme with the tense apprehension of high tremolo strings and percussion effects. Actually, this track has a double meaning – In between my performances of McCree’s Tomb Raider theme on flute, low brasses play a subdued rendition of my own Lara Croft theme as a call-and-response, bridging the two franchises into one track."
