Snow Halation would make this the worstest song on the soundtrack. Anyways, I'll start talking about the song itself. Originally, I was inspired by how one Homestuck Musician, (if I recall correctly it was [[artist:erik-scheele|Jit]],) said that he felt like Crystalanthemums was going to be Jade's Land Theme. As this was to be a remix for Jade's Land reveal, my original starting concept was, "Frost but with Crystalanthemums." I had started a version of this concept back before [[album:cool-and-new-volume-2|CANH2]] had even been released, although I mostly reworked this old version from the ground up. The only thing that really remained unchanged was the Violin Arpeggio. I had planned to use [[track:frog-forager|Frog Forager]] as a continuation melody to Crystalanthemums at this time, but that melody didn't quite seem to fit the song, and I instead replaced it with a change to the Drum Beat at that point (said drum beat pretty heavily inspired/referencing Crystamanthequins or whatever the name was for the one in [[flash:2578|[S] Make Her Pay]]. One part of this song I am overall dissatisfied with is the Cymbals that come in near the end of the portion referencing Courser. I originally had a version where I had arranged the Cymbals in a manner where I was happy with them, but this version was poorly mastered and I was too lazy to transcribe what I had done for the old version. Anyways, I feel like this song was very much useful in helping me figure out how to better arrange orchestral percussion lines and to not make them completely uninteresting. + Cookie, please, we all know that [[We Are Number One]] is a vastly superior [[artist:siivagunner|Siiva]] meme to Snow Halation.

Regardless of that, it was a pleasure to make this song for any productive work, and to have hadron remake it in his own style. This song was made without any real acquired inspiration from other songs, which believe it or not is what I typically don't do when I make music. I really like the way I arranged the song, and how it sorta shifts into a piratey theme towards the second half in the full version (I'm not sure if that makes it into the overall act 7 theme). <i>Wheals:</i> (Composer, 2:12-2:35) - CRASH. I had a lot of fun with this, my first time trying anything orchestral, and it's probably the best thing I've made so far. For a little extra fun I made it entirely with one sample pack that I had just gotten. Unfortunately I scrapped my original plan to use [[track:voidlight|Voidlight]] in this section, so the song has still never been referenced. + CRASH.

This section was made in the span of about 2 days, after the people originally slotted in for this section bailed/didn't finish/were rejected. I think it kind of shows? Still, even if I'm not entirely happy with my piece for this collaboration, it at least blends well with the next section. (Fun fact, originally, the second half of this was just snow halation layered over the original audio. Sadly, that was rejected, but I kept its memory alive with a snow halation piano arrangement instead.) |
