+    And then, uh, the project shifted, quite a bit! We stopped releasing albums regularly, there was, you know, several hiatuses - a shift in the way that the work was made. I would have wished that the, you know, intense period of like, releasing music in 2011, had gotten to go on. Because, I think there was always a demand for it. If the comic couldn't be updated at the breakneck crazy pace it was being updated consistently, we were more than hungry enough to continue running our weird little cyberlabel.

+    We didn't do another Homestuck volume until a fan volume that was being organized eventually was realized as a real album, that became Homestuck Volume 10.

+    My only real addition there was Solar Voyage. I didn't do any of the production for it, but Solar Voyage, which I think was coordinated by Marcy Nabors, was based on something we had put together at that South by Southwest show. We took [[track:ruins|Ruins]], [[Explore]], and [[Flare]], and we mashed it up into one giant medley.
+
+    We really loved that one, and even though I didn't personally oversee getting that one produced, I was really glad that that one got organized and put on Volume 10. 'Cause, you know, that was one of that few IRL collaborations that we actually did together. I would have wished we could have done more with that. There weren't the resources to, you know, permanently do a Homestuck band or something, but the chance to, you know, really bring it out in person, and have cosplayers be there and listen to the stuff we made, was so cool.
