A Vector to the Heavens Retrospective - Xion As Folk

Xion's character isn't the only thing shaped by memories. The way her theme evolved and was shaped by different people as they showcased their interpretations of it reveals many things about the potential of fandom when it comes to the production of media and the learning of new skills, as well as leaving lasting impacts on listeners. How did the wish to participate in an on-going folk process of covers end up shaping the way "Vector to the Heavens" and "Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion" are perceived by general online audiences?

Thanks to my friend PJ (@Cabletownpod) for the edit of Xion's Heart Station. Thanks to David Russell for one of the backgrounds tracks I used.
