     So for Disk 1 I decided to write a character select theme in the vain of Street Fighter 2. I thought it would be a perfect fit for the art [[artist:kiddlescribbles|Kiddles]] made (which is really good btw).

     Escapade is a song i wrote a long time ago under the name "LoSaS" (don't look it up) because i originally wrote it as a land theme for a land [[artist:kiddlescribbles|Kiddles]] made for some stupid dead pmt comic thing we were working on at the time. I later reused it on my shitty solo album for god knows what reason, and now it has made it's way into [[album:desynced-vol-1|Desynced]] and STLaP 3. This version of Escapade was supposed to be a song about a good guy version of Jack Noir which is why it sounds so much like [[Black]], later though when I just joined the Desynced music team, Emily said they would need a song like Escapade for something later on in the comic so i just offered to let her use it and thats pretty much why its also in there now.

     idk why, since it isn't exactly a super complex song, but this one kinda took a lot out of me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a lazy motherflipper and all, but oh boy was I unmotivated to work on this one more than usual. It probably doesn't help that I was going through some intense imposter syndrome as a musician at the time, and I was kinda getting out of the HS fandom as well. Still, I powered through, and honestly, I think it turned out fairly well, all things considered.

     So [[All Alone]] was a pretty big milestone for me as it was my first original song I wrote for the PMT. Shortly after I initially wrote it, I had this idea for a upbeat battle theme version of the track about the Handmaid's final confrontation with HIC. A Handmaid's Last Stand is that idea fully realized. To make this track I re-arrange the main melody of All Alone into a 4/4 time signature as well as changing the chord progression from the original. Of course, if I was going to make this a song about The Handmaid fighting Condy I had to quote [[Hate You]] by Toby Fox. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out and I hope you enjoy it.

     Honestly, this isn't one of my favorite tracks that I've composed. It's supposed to be an entirely original song themed around Dave's planet, the Land of Heat and Clockwork, but it is too... energetic? I don't know, something about it just feels off. This track was originally supposed to be much more slow and foreboding, but I just couldn't get it to sound right with the limited instrument library that the music software that I use, Medley, has at its disposal. I really need to splurge and buy FL Studio already. Anyway, here's a fun-fact -- the "ding" sounds that start after the intro are sampled from [[Savior of the Waking World]]. So that's neat, I guess.

     If you can't tell I have an addiction to making a Dirk song on every album I can and STLaP 3 is no exception. Splinter is a song based on Brain Ghost Dirk and because of that I tried to make something atmospheric and kinda glitchy. I started by editing a couple of FLEX synths to my liking then bitcrushed them a bit after I wrote the chords and arps with them. I proceeded to render the chord and arp patterns as audio clips so I could easily cut them up and individually edit them. After I laid down the base structure for the song with the cut up audio clips I layered two amen break loops with a basic loop on an 8bit kit and bitcrushed everything for the drums. Then I wrote the leads and finished the song up by making a sweep out of a static sample. This song was probably the hardest for me to make but also the most enjoyable because of all the things I experimented with while writing it. Splinter is definitely out of my comfort zone but I'm glad I made it how I did cause it's given me ideas for future songs. Enjoy!

     I never really liked [[Mituna's Theme]] from BeforusBound ever since i just finished it, in my opinion i left in way too many mixing issues and i didn't really like the composition too crazy much. I wanted it to be way more upbeat and to have cooler instruments etc, i wasnt able to do this in the original cause i was using FL Studio 20 and sforzando which is just the worst soundfont player ever which is kinda also why the pitch bending in Mituna's theme is so horrid. There's also this extremely nasty cut near the end of it because it crashed and i basically just glued 2 parts together. Anyway enough rambling about that song, gee i sure do hate my own songs huh. For Dual Voltage i used a lot of the same instruments from [[the La2t Frontiier]], i also referenced it in there. Overall the composition became way fuller and the mixing is a little bit better too, im also really happy with that shamisen solo i thought that was really cool. And for references other than Mituna's theme and the La2t Frontiier, i threw in one of the pmt's most referenced songs [[Fate of the Heir]] and [[Perxenic Highlands]] because Fate of the Heir fits really well for obvious reasons and we had just finished Perxenic when i started working on this song so i wanted to reference it somewhere, and it came out really cool and epic sounding luckily!

     For starters, this song took absolute ages to create. While writing it, I was listening to a lot of Japanese Alt-Rock/Metal, as well as some of the Homestuck tracks of those genres, like the [[album:strife|Strife]] album and [[artist:david-ellis|David Ellis']] work. Those definitely influenced a lot of the choices I made, especially in reference to the guitar tone and the drums. In terms of the technical theory behind it, I used a Phrygian mode, which is very similar to the Minor mode, which most Rock/Metal uses. The extra flat second from the Phrygian scale really lends a lot of interesting possibilities for resolution, because of the way it clashes with the root note, being only a half step above it. I mostly used a jazz guitar tone for the guitars to keep the sound more clean, however there is definitely a more liberal use of distortion on some of the leads.

     One day I was bored and wrote a song. The End... is what I would say if it stopped there, but alas the story continues. That song I wrote ended up becoming the main original melody in Heirflow after I found out that a handful of John motifs complimented it nicely. From there I arranged everything together to the best of my ability by adding distinct sections in between the main melody that introduced the different motifs. I also added an amen break for whatever reason, but it works. This was also my first time heavily using portamento and modulation on my lead which I really like and feel dumb for not diong sooner. Composition wise this might be my favorite song I made on STLaP 3 and I hope to make more songs like it in the future.

     Alright so I have quite a bit to say about this track. A last year the PMT put out [our earthbound album](https://pascalpotatovandenbos.bandcamp.com/album/whats-your-favorite-song-earthbound-2019), which was a fun little break from our usual homestuck music thing. I wrote a song on that album called [["Diamond Dust"]] that quickly became one of my favorite songs I had written at the time. Shortly after the album came out I had the desire make a proper follow up to that track. Sometime later, I was improving on the piano and got this really nice sounding chord progression that made me think of snow. I was looking for an idea at the time for STLaP 3 at the time, so I made this my last song for the album. During the process of writing this song, I had the idea of remixing "Diamond Dust" into this, effectively making Snowfall the a sequel to that song. Overall I'm pretty proud how this turned out and I'm glad I got to make the follow up I wanted.

     This song was an absolute joy to write, its my favorite song I created for the album. Its heavily inspired by the works of Disasterpeace as well as other ambient style electronic mussic producers. It utilizes two chords, in two similar modes. Those two dual modes, Ionian/Major and Dorian, create an interesting motion for the song, while never actually moving anywhere, because of the lack of any traditional functional harmony. (TL;DR for the non-music nerds, the song feels open and spacey because it lacks the chord-to-chord motion created by a traditional chord structure.) All in all I think this song came out great, and I got a chance to utilize some music principles I've never really experimented with before.

     So ever since I finished The Nobles™ I wanted to reference [[Perxenic Highlands]] in some fashion. The opportunity presented itself with STLaP 3 in which I took the melody of Perxenic and worked it into a semi-strife theme for Page of Hope Jake. I did this song in one night literally 3 days before the release of the album because I procrastinated and rewatched Initial D as you do. One good thing came of it though, I took a lot of inspiration from the structure and feel of common Eurobeat songs when writing the original parts and then frankensteined the arrangement of Perxenic in. In the end I'm really happy with how the song came out despite all the odds being stacked against me when I made it. hope you enjoy this energetic Jake theme!

     Good lord, this song. This song was an absolute pain to write for, due to the technical limitations that come with this kind of music. I had to do a lot of research for this song, such as what types of melodic structures, and what types of instruments to use. This song utilizes Japanese Tetrachords, which are a pain to write around. There are four of them, and you pick two and stack them upon each other to make a full octave scale. Each tetrachord is three notes, which means a sclae is only six notes, instead of the usual eight. This means you have that many less options when writing chord structures and melodies, hence why this song was such a pain. Hopefully the trouble was worth it, at least I think so.

     This song actually a bit of history. I wrote the original version of this track back in the summer of 2018 a few months before I jined <!-- [sic] --> the PMT. I had this idea for ambitious 2-part final boss theme in the vain of Dancing Mad. To make a long story short, I made the first part and it turned out so bad that I lost all motivation to finish the second part. I returned to the project 2 months later and got a decent demo out of it but I never got around to finishing it. At one point, I was actually going to try to finish it for [[album:stlap2|STLaP 2]] but I was pretty weird about putting original work on a Homestuck Fan-album at the time. Needless to say I've since changed my mind on that and it's honestly been for the best lol. As for the song itself, it borrows elements of second demo I made in 2018 but the song is completely different. The most notable inclusion is the amen break that I sliced up that acts as the rhythmic back bone for the entire song. Aside from that it's a lot of synth, guitar and orchestral nonsense. I even added a small reference to [[Beastly Skirmish]], whose arrangement was based on an early demo of this track. This is probably my favorite song I've ever made and I hope you enjoy it.

     So i asked [[artist:tee-vee|Tee-Vee]] cover [[track:megalovania-beforusbound|my remix of MeGaLoVania]] as a bonus song for this album because i originally wanted it to be played live for BefoprusBound <!-- [sic] --> but we ran out of time so i left my original guitars in there. He did an amazing job though, like i didn't think that solo at the end was playable to be honest but whaddaya know, it sounds fucking epic lmao. Now i just gotta get him to play [the DX version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBzLLxBfWPM)...
