Editing Intermezzo Without a Leader

"Intermezzo Without a Leader" is a baleful theme in A minor and 6/8. As its name states, it is the [[wikipedia:intermezzo|intermezzo]] of the [[Star Dream]] battle themes, following "[[VS. Star Dream]]" and preceding "[[Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection]]" (both composed by [[Hirokazu Ando]]). It begins with space-like ambience, followed by a low G major brass chord intensifying in a crescendo to signal the start of the track. The primary melody is similar to "[[0² Battle]]", another theme composed by Jun Ishikawa: both melodies of the themes alternate between large minor intervals while slowly fluctuating between the scale at a rhythmic pace. This track's melody, which is composed of futuristic synths, executes said progression boldly at half speed; in other words, it plays a dominant-thirteenth interval every bar. This pattern is consistent throughout, serving as a mechanical rhythm that drives the track forward. As the track progresses, more synths and brass convene to increase the tension of the atmosphere, until the final release in one climactic A minor note. The thumping percussion acts as the theme's resolution, reducing the tension enough to loop back to the start.
