     A Skaia song originally made for Haeldral's Felt Mansion 2. One of the two final Homestuck songs I made. I wanted it to sound pretty but epic like Skaia itself but without using the same [[Skies of Skaia]] leitmotif as always.

     Skaia has such pretty colours, I wanted to capture that.

     As always, Astro Kid manages to turn any track into a rave-worthy bop, no matter how melancholic the original is. This used to be a lost track, and I might have never heard it if Rafe Saltman hadn't reuploaded it on Youtube, so he deserves our thanks. This art piece was actually inspired by the track a few months after it was made, so I contacted the artist to finally make it official, half a decade later.

     This track originates from CANWAVE 3, a vaporwave album for the [[group:canmt|Cool and New Music Team]]. Yes, we cursed the world with three of them, but it was all worth it if only for this SplitSuns track. For the less leitmotif-aware, this is a take on [[Endless Climb]] by [[artist:buzinkai]]. Rest in peace.

It was based on an [[Five-Four Stress|ancient unreleased track]] by the legendary [[artist:buzinkai]], and TirantBacon and WarxTron put their music making hands together to the task of remixing the original once more.

     Oh boy. I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like. The original is definitely the better version of the song in the long run, though.

     Damara is such a dense character with her story being told at the edges and words of everyone else with barely any exposition coming directly for her, the music is inspiringly striking in capturing that, the one time the spot light is shined on her is when she is under the influence of LE and thus i shined the spotlight on her in the focus of the art.

     I remember looping this track over and over back in 2011, and Kanishka helped me get back in touch with the musician. There's something about it that brings the Homestuck Act 4 feelings back, like how a Faygo smell can bring you back to your amazing and smelly experience at the 2009 "Clown Killaz" Insane Clown Posse concert.

     Decided if this was going to be the last LOFAM album, it needed a good closing track. Not a full huge song (that honor definitely goes to and belongs to [[track:ophiuchus-full-suite-lofam5|Ophiuchus]]), just like a short little thing, the last few notes for the fandom, to wrap everything up. I think I went for a more hopeful tone, that maybe this won't be the end for homestuck's era on the internet. Maybe in another 4 years there'll be another album. Personally, I doubt it, I think the song I made is more hopeful than I am. But who knows.
     Maybe.
