     I redid this track from the ground up for lofam 4, updated the flute playing and everything. Is it better? Is it worse? who knows, really

+
+    It occurs to me that I never did post the finished version of this, did I?
+
+    This was my third submission to the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Homestuck Music Contest]]. I was at a mental block after finishing [[track:guns-blazing]], so I asked my girlfriend for a prompt, and she gave me “Kanaya” and “Geisha” (to my surprise, I might add - her favorite troll is Karkat). I more or less discarded the latter portion because I didn’t think it would fit, but it DID get me thinking about Kanaya. I hadn’t even thought of making a song for her before that point.
+
+    I wanted this to be… well, the major songs for Kanaya so far - [[track:virgin-orb]] and [[track:darling-kanaya]] - have been beautiful piano pieces (at least they are in my memory), and they’re p. perfect for Kanaya, but her rainbow drinker form is so much more badass and… assertive. Especially that. So I wanted to go for something that was simultaneously graceful and kind of badass at the start. And after I had conceptualized the harp part and the melody, I went back to write the intro, because I wanted some sort of contrast between alive!Kan and daywalker!Kan. The bass drum I used to simulate heartbeats; the entire intro is supposed to be her life slowly fading away.
+
+    And then she comes back as this awesome vampire creature and proceeds to send Gamzee hooooooooooooonking into abyss.
+
+    Also it’s a waltz because Kanaya is friggin’ classy okay.
+
+    Production-wise I think this is the weakest of [[track:guns-blazing|my]] [[track:vodka-mutiny|three]] [[track:daywalker-rise|entries]]. I played the flute for this piece, and honestly I think my terrible recording and audio processing skills might have hurt it, since this was my first time working with real audio at all. And all I had to do it with were my shitty laptop mic and absolutely no experience. (Also I hadn’t played in a couple months, that probably had something to do with it.) I really love both the harp part and the flute part I wrote for this though, and it was really fun to play!! I might bring it back in a later piece, we’ll see.

     This image has three Kanaya Maryams in it. Having two more Kanaya Maryams than Homestuck itself had is a bold creative decision, one which, in my opinion, works out rather well. I very much like the 'Naya in the foreground's halo, illuminating her face, while the Maryam furthest from the front of the scene is relatively shrouded in darkness. Consequently, her bright yellow eyes shine like a wild animal in the dead of night. Cool as hell all around, this image.

+    a new Homestuck remix, this is actually a remix of [[track:beatup|a remix]] by myself and [[artist:clark-powell|Clark]] that’s going to be on an official release that is going to happen sometime in the future and that is all that I can say on the matter.

     This song gives me vibes of a "prelude" version of the original [[track:beatdown-strider-style|Beatdown]], like one that plays as a character's theme before a boss fight where the boss music is just a more complete and amped up rendition. Or maybe it's like an encore of Beatup where the DJ gives the backing track a little more flair. Either way, the fact that this song uses only the opening arpeggios of Beatdown throught its run works hella well as a lead-in to the next track, [[Airtime Assault]], which dives straight into the main melody.
