Anger and sadness were the first emotions he experienced, but as time went on, those feelings turned into gratitude and happiness. He started to remember all the memories he had made on this computer and all the growth that had taken place in those early years. Those feelings of youth and nostalgia inspired the euphoric sounds of ‘Erased.’
