I’ll start with “Calamity” and work my way to [[track:how-do-i-live-d8-night-version|a certain bonus track]] and then we’ll see what else people want me to post commentary on. + "Calamity" was inspired by the very same update that inspired the Pantskat craze - [the image of Gamzee returning, Warhammer of Zillyhoo in hand](https://www.homestuck.com/story/3847) is translated into two sonic elements, ie honks and chanting. What I've enjoyed really intensely about [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew's]] sense of humor in Homestuck and his other adventures is his gradual elevation of silly details onto the pedestals of utter drama, and with this track I tried to recreate that. You laughed at the honks and the chanting before - now your heart races (at least I hope). There was a certain difficulty in making "Calamity" really work for me. I had a couple of different sounds I was attempting all at once, each working on their own but sort of fighting for control when mashed together. The introduction and conclusion of the song using a theme from [[track:walk-stab-walk-r-and-e|"Walk-Stab-Walk"]] needed to be really punchy, while I really needed the middle of the song to glide, and the connecting bits with the chanting needed to build and build in tension. There are a lot of different sounds in the song's palette, the most difficult of which to utilize was the enormous saw synth that dominates the middle. Getting that thing to be grand without utterly overpowering the rest of the song was incredibly difficult. @@ -417,7 +419,7 @@ Art Tags: - CD - Rabbit Commentary: |- - <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, via [[media:misc/commentary-collection.txt|early commentary collection]]) + <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, [Tumblr](https://web.archive.org/web/20120118163148/http://iambowman.tumblr.com/), 1/17/2012) Before going into a description of this track, I must make a long-overdue rebuttal to the factors that overshadowed its reception. Yes, I know this song and its track art pertain to the Wayward Vagabond. Yes, I know it's sad that Andrew [[flash:4109|"killed off"]] the Wayward Vagabond on the same day that this album was released. No, I had no idea that would happen nor do I care how incongruous the song's mood seems in relation to that particular plot point. @@ -510,7 +512,7 @@ Art Tags: - Frogs - LoFaF Commentary: |- - <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, via [[media:misc/commentary-collection.txt|early commentary collection]]) + <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, [Tumblr](https://web.archive.org/web/20120118163148/http://iambowman.tumblr.com/), 1/17/2012) Uh oh, [[artist:erik-scheele|Jit]] and I showed up to the album with the same song idea. That's like two girls showing up the party in the same dress. Awkward! Good thing for Jit and I that, like the two girls in that famous scenario, we each have our own swagga and wear those dresses like the hot young messes we are. Wow, don't quote me on that.
