+    The second of my three entries to the Homestuck Music Contest, the other two being [[track:guns-blazing|[Guns Blazing\]]] and [[track:daywalker-rise-contest|Daywalker ~Rise~]].
+
+    This one actually got in! It can be found on coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B, the second of two albums released as a result of the contest.
+
+    I love pulling genre bait-and-switch and I totally do the same going from dance music to orchestral thing I did in [[track:through-the-seventh-gate-land-of-frost-and-frogs|"Land of Frost and Frogs"]]. This one has added chiptune flavor, though. And portamento to simulate drunken hiccups!
+
+    Also: this actually isn't the album version. I updated it because the album version was actually over-compressed; I'm still not sure how I let that pass...

     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=Jk4P10nsq4c)). I love that song.
 
     Fun fact: I didn't realise for a while that "Homestuck" and "Alternia" were technically remixes themselves, making this a 3x remix-of-remix combob.

+    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"](www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25QXnhVijQ) from Kingdom Hearts. The chiptune aesthetic certainly helped!

     <i>Lunise:</i> (track artist, booklet commentary)
 
     I was inspired by the pesterlog on [page 6758](https://homestuck.com/story/4858). Even though I had heard konec0's track long before that update, when I listened to it again to get an idea for what kind of track art I'd like to draw for it, all I could think of was that pesterlog about alpha Jade.

+    This song was nominated to be on the [[album:lofam|Land of Fans and Music]] album, an unofficial compilation of Homestuck fanmusic. However, I chose to submit [[track:beginnings-press-start-to-play|Beginnings]] and [[track:megadancevania|MeGaDanceVaNia]] over it. I'm actually really proud of this remix; I'm usually terrible at slow songs, but this one just works. It's suitably bittersweet, and a sombre take on an event otherwise presented in a light-hearted manner.

     So close your eyes and imagine Jake doing that thing where he flies through the air shooting both guns at once. Yes. So sweet. Wouldn't it be great if there were an animated flash to go with it? That would be SUPER SWEET.

+    This didn't get in, even though I felt that it was my strongest contender. I hoped that it could serve as the "Showtime" for the Alpha kids, and modelled it specifically after [[track:showtime-original-mix|"Showtime"]] and [[track:dissension-original|"Dissension,"]] with a recognizable motif repeated in different styles.
+
+    Fun fact: I came up with the last 1 minute of the song or so first; I got the idea to use punchy snares to simulate Jake shooting everywhere. I quite like the result!

     <hr>
+
     The last of my three entries to the Homestuck Music Contest, the other two being [[Guns Blazing]] and [[Vodka Mutiny]].
+
     A song for Kanaya, this song is - in my opinion - the weakest contender of the lot. Daywalker nonetheless marks my first attempt at using real audio in a song - I recorded the flute performance myself. Unfortunately, my playing, recording, and production are definitely not up to snuff, honestly. Given that it was recorded with a terrible laptop mic, with a player who hadn't played in a long while (me), I suppose that was honestly no surprise.
+
     However, I love both the harp and flute melodies in this song. It was a blast to play, and I'd definitely think about using them again at some point in the future.

     Couldn't end my run on Homestuck without doing one last John/Showtime track! It's an orchestral smorgasbord of Ballad of Awakening, Lifdoff, Showtime and probably something else I've forgotten. Also makes use of Shepard Tones in the middle to give the impression of a constantly rising melody, (or just to sound annoying)
 
     Didn't quite make the Volume 10 cut, but presented here for your enjoyment! :D

+
+    Hi! I ran it by Veri and he found that funny given that Circlejourney made the booklet themself. I’ve confirmed that Circlejourney did in fact help work on the song, so I’d say it’s probably either an overlooked detail, or something Cj themself decided wasn’t worth including. Unfortunately the particulars are lost to my personal memory, but thank you for reaching out!
