Music

The Assassin of Steve trilogy uses many different royalty-free music tracks from a variety of different composers. During boss fights, there is always one track that loops endlessly until the boss is defeated, while during missions there are a larger set of five tracks. One of these tracks are picked randomly, and when the track finishes, another track is picked to play.

## Composers
