We need another moment to appreciate the pure incline that the Director's Cut of RE1 was in terms of soundtrack. I heard Black Isle wanted to get this guy to do IWD's soundtrack but he was in high demand so they had to settle for Jeremy Soule.
The official composer for this was outed as a fraud a few years ago for basically demanding his junior composer to compose everything for him and also pretending to be deaf. That's why the Onimusha remaster has scrapped the original music as well, because originally it was composed by the same guy (although now we know he didn't do almost jackshit).
Article on this dude on New Yorker, since he was not just a small-time VGM composer but very famous in Japan otherwise (probably why Capcom wanted to have this dude to begin with).
Although maybe the track in question is his actual original contribution, after all.
