     With its blend of sharp synths and cinematic orchestration, as well as its dramatic swells in composition, this song does an amazing job capturing Grandpa's famed taste for adventure. Can you feel it? That sense of danger, the palpable tension in the air as the jungle trees sway in the breeze? Quick snatches of animal chatter meet your ears, the rest muffled by the dense canopy above. You grip your rifle a little tighter and adjust your hat towards what lies beyond. You have a feeling it's going to be a long hunt.
     <i>Tipsy:</i>
     i accidentally listened to bec's song instead of grandpa's song (wow well done me), so i HAD to include dogs. but i wanted the image to live up to this song's title. you can see my thought process here. besides which you can see the <i>true danger</i> that grandpa must have put himself in expressed here with his lack of pants. anyway i wanted the animals to all look vaguely real, so i spent a lot of time looking up pictures of them while drawing. i was heavily inspired by hiveswap and the photo frames of grandpa in his past, and wanted to draw a silly looking hunting scenario that could fill the gaps of in your head. there's even a version with joey's comments scribbled on, though it was a bit too busy and standoutish. hope you enjoy [Kanishka]'s song.

     "DYRM" was essentially cre8ed as a sort of 8acking track to the John and Vriska 'date' sequence (around about here). The idea was to do a sort of schlocky romantic 8allad that combined elements of Johns goofiness but with the tragedy that hey - Vriska's dead.  Over the course of it, we travel through John and Vriska's memories,  and she's trying to get him to remem8er something important, so there's that element too.  It's kinda sad, 8ut in a way it's also a 8it of a cele8ration of Vriska - She's surprisingly polarizing with a lot of the fan8ase, as the 8est characters often are... :p

     The idea behind this guy was something similar to the traditional idea of some HS songs being about movement ([[track:descend|"Descend"]], [[flash:1668|"Ascend"]], [[track:upward-movement-dave-owns|"Upward Movement"]]), so in this case it's 4 things moving, together as one.  It was becoming reasonably clear that post-scratch, we'd be separating The beta kids up a bit, and ideally, once the dust settled, they would all meet up again - This track's effectively the kids overcoming whatever barriers in their way to unite.

     As I recall, with this one it was mainly the instruments chosen that defined it.  The Banjo just struck the right kind of sound, and from there an accordion to give it a bit of a polka feel.  A lot of the crafting of this one was trying desperately not to have it ending up too much like the Ievan Polkka (Which thanks to a month of Project Diva on PSP is firmly embedded in my brain...).

HS is still about a game, and it's neat to embed some of the more obvious gamey elements now and then.  Plus it might just be me, but accordions and square waves go really well together :D

+    Reposted from one of my sideblogs.
+
+    This is an interesting one. It's a fanart of a fanart! For those of you who don't know, for the past few months [[artist:lambda-elise-merryberry|Xzazupsilon]] and [[artist:lizawithazed]] in the Homestuck fandom have been rallying artists and musicians alike to put together a sequel to the unofficial fan album, [[album:lofam]]. Just recently Xzaz posted an update to the list of track art that was still needed, and I saw that cover art was needed. I was feeling particularly inspired that day, so I drew this on a whim, without really asking.
+
+    The composition is largely inspired by the original fanart that was the cover for the first Land of Fans and Music and also by one of the pages towards the end of the first half of Act 5 of the comic itself, with Terezi's house built up high and overlooking the Land of Thought and Flow. I was originally going to draw a Sburb player sitting on one of the roofs of the house overlooking LOFAM, but that idea eventually got scrapped in favor of keeping focus on the land itself.
+
+    The music at the very bottom of the drawing, near the two fans in the clouds, is actually taken directly the beginning of the right hand section of the sheet music of [[artist:james-dever]]'s [[Chronicles]], albeit a little bit askew.
+
+    Overall I'm rather pleased with this piece! It was really interesting to draw and I feel that it's a worthy tribute to all the talented people I have met through this fandom. The music staves were a bit difficult to draw, but they were also pretty fun at the same time even though I had to put my tablet into precision mode just to get them to line up. This piece took me about two and a half to three hours and almost 40 layers not counting the texture layer to complete - the composition was surprisingly complex to work with, but the results were well worth it.
+
+    I did this without asking or without any warning that I was going to take on doing the LOFAM 2 cover, but if this is used as the official cover I won't have any complaints. Even if it's not used as the official cover, I won't be mad, because I at least greatly enjoyed drawing this.
+
+    The talented fan artists ([[group:fandom|musicians included!]]) that have all been an inspiration to me are a huge part of why this fandom is dear to me. Hopefully that fact has been well reflected in this artwork!

+
+    So this is a Homestuck related song I've been working on for quite some time, it's only recently that I've done the final part and edited all of the footage from the recording sessions together.
+
+    Back to Life is based around a reworking of the [[Cyan Beast|'Cyan Beast']] theme for Jane set during the exploration of LoCaH during [[flash:4825|myststuck]]. Somewhere in my tumblr archive there's a [short video with an early draft of the chorus idea.](http://ducksual.tumblr.com/post/21077689419/a-short-bit-of-playing-around-with-the-main-theme) I think I wrote about 4 different verses for the song before landing on one I was happy with.
+
+    This piece features two of my friends on Vocals and Trumpet. A big thanks to [[artist:clouds-haberberg|Clouds]] for their wonderful vocal performance and to [[artist:adam-beveridge|Adam]] for not complaining about the key too much.
+
+    There are actually 2 other pieces of music that go with this to make a small suite, [[First Steps|a short piano introduction]] and [[A World Awake|a more orchestral piece based]] once more around the Cyan Beast theme. I should be posting [[Myststuck Suite (Full Version)|the full suite]] on soundcloud soon.
+
+    The piano solo towards the end is quite tricky (and is also another nod towards Cyan Beast). Full lyrics are included in the Youtube description. I hope you enjoy the song.

+    <i>Holy shit,</i> how have I not seen this until now?
+
+    I know that my Homestuck music outings are typically known for being light and whimsical, but there's one song in particular that doesn't really fit that category. <b><u>Scratch</b></u> was my foray into writing music for a villain, and I had a great time working on it. I remember that it was right around Halloween when it was finished. Good timing.
+
+    I had always wondered what a boss fight-style remix of Scratch would sound like, and now I think I have a pretty good idea. I think this is actually the first work of mine that has been fan-remixed too. This was fun to wake up to.

     The other is Ruins Rising, which is, again, another treatment of [[track:ruins|Ruins]] by Erik Scheele. This one, the guitar intro is kind of drawn from the Frippertronics technique of Robert Fripp, and, it actually features a lot of re-re-record scratches and cool textures that I hadn't really experimented with before. *(Caption: "God bless the fruity scratcher")*
