Free Association is a band in Splatoon 3. They are credited for most of the music that plays in the Spire of Order in Side Order. They are groups of small, metallic-looking entities resembling a school of fish floating around some of the Spire's floors.[1]
Free Association's album artwork is an edited picture of the background of the Vending-Machine Corner floors. The same view can be seen from the floor when looking right.
Etymology
The group's name is a pun on free association, a psychoanalytic technique designed to help patients express unconscious thoughts, and possibly also the sociopolitical concept of a free association of producers (also sometimes shortened to simply "free association"). Both inspirations can be related to the Memverse, both in terms of it being a virtual reality that incorporates the unconscious desires of its users and creators, and Order's goal of creating a world with no variation or desire.
