     This is not one of those songs.
 
-    Near the start of this fanmusic album project [[artist:elaine-wang|orngjce223]] asked for someone to remix [[artist:mk-97|MK_97's]] [[track:homestuck-title-screen|"Homestuck Title Theme"]], while incorporating more motifs from Homestuck's music. I decided sure why not? And then this song was born. So Beginnings is a remix of a remix, really. The original was a remix of [[track:skies-of-skaia|"Skies of Skaia"]] - I added the motifs from [[track:homestuck|"Homestuck"]] and [[track:theme|"Alternia"]] because I felt they were representative of the kids' and the trolls' journeys respectively. I mean come on, the title is RIGHT THERE. So yeah.

     Since it was a title screen tune, I pretty much drew on what I remembered from game title screens to make it. Really, the only specific influence I can recall is that the piano part at the end was inspired by Kingdom Hearts' title screen tune (["Dearly Beloved"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25QXnhVijQ)). I love that song.

     One of my two submissions to the Land of Fans and Music album, an unofficial compilation of fanmusic created within the Homestuck fandom. The other submission was [[MeGaDanceVaNia]].
 
-    This was not only the first track on the album, but really the only track that was specifically composed for the album. Or remixed, rather. The initiator of the project, [[artist:elaine-wang|OJ]], requested for a remix to be done of MK_97's [[track:homestuck-title-screen|"Homestuck Title Screen,"]] while incorporating more motifs from the comic. I took up that request, and churned this out.

     This song was basically a nostalgia bomb for me; I just had to think back to the days of playing SNES-era RPGs, and what I thought a title screen tune should sound like. Chrono Trigger's [title screen tune](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU1rM8UYpus), in particular, was a big influence, as was the simple ["Dearly Beloved"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25QXnhVijQ) from Kingdom Hearts. The chiptune aesthetic certainly helped!

-    I've always liked the Midnight Crew album, [[album:midnight-crew-drawing-dead|Drawing Dead]]; it's got this delicious synergy between jazz and techno with a dark overtone that is super sexy. (I'm a big fan.) Another thing I'm a big fan of is [[artist:erik-scheele|Jit]] and his music, because Jit's mad talented. So when I was in the shower one morning (where I do my best thinking) and I had the idea for a Midnight Crew cover of Jit's song from [[album:the-felt]], [[track:the-broken-clock|"The Broken Clock"]], I filed it away under "future stuff to do", because it's rare I have what I consider a good idea with regards to composition.

     So I worked for quite a while on this: improvising on piano, listening to Drawing Dead over and over and analyzing the different styles of each instrument, writing things down, plugging them into my computer, hating it, writing new parts, adding material, cutting material, hating it more, et cetera, ad infinitum. The final result is still something I'm not completely happy with, but I think I can declare it as done as it'll ever be. So, I hope you enjoy it, and the rest of the first ever Homestuck Fan Album!

     Fun fact: the music box meldoy was originally one octave lower, and an entirely different instrument. The music box ended up sounding terrible in that octave, so I raised it.
 
-    Another fun fact: I completely forgot that [[track:jades-lullaby|"Jade's Lullaby"]] was a track from [[album:homestuck-vol-5|Volume 5]]. This song is unrelated.

     This is a commentary! Just saying this in case you accidentally clicked on this pdf and got lost.
 
-    But anyway, I guess I should talk about my track 'Jackie Treats'. The initial creation, or rather, remixing, of this track started - as far as I can remember - when I began messing around with one of the melodies of from [[track:liquid-negrocity|'Liquid Negrocity']], which is probably one of my favourite pieces off [[album:midnight-crew-drawing-dead|the Midnight Crew album]].

     I created quite a neat little piano piece, which is heard at around 0:59 to 1:10. This is pretty much what helped me get into a rhythm for the song, and before I kenw it I began composing around it. It was probably towards the very end of the song, when I added the jazz organ into the piece that made me think of 'Bec Noir' having horrible thoughts concerning dog treats. So I decided to name the WIP track 'Jackie Treats' (The name kinda stuck).
