souven1r is a song performed by Free Association in Side Order. It is played on floors 1F to 9F during "Sink the ∞-ball(s)!" missions.
Description
souven1r begins with a quiet, fast-paced melody, with very sparse bass and drum backings. As the song goes on, more instruments, predominantly treble ones, are added to the roster. The song has a glitchy sounding shift in tone, then the main synth starts building up to the main melody of the souvenir set. As the melody morphs into the motif, the instrument playing is replaced by the synth used in both later versions, which starts playing the motif in full. At the end of the song, the music winds down a little bit and returns to the sparse and jumpy tune as played in the beginning.
Etymology
The name souven1r is formed by replacing the letter "i" in "souvenir" with the number "1". Souvenir refers to an object or trinket considered to be a memento, ultimately derived from the French souvenir, meaning "to remember". As this song plays in ∞-ball-escorting floors, the song's title is likely a nod to the Octo Expansion's own 8-ball stations, referring to the ball escort mission objective as a "souvenir" from the Deepsea Metro. The naming scheme of replacing one letter of a word with the number 1, 2, or 3 is present in all floor songs for Side Order and derives from leetspeak.
