-    Entries for tracks by Bill Bolin have been retained for the sake of preserving the intended structure and form of albums they appear on; however, it should be noted that Bolin left the music team after throwing a huge tantrum regarding "professionalism" and having tracks he hadn't formally released featured in the comic. While they still appear as their original releases in the albums on this artist page, they were promptly replaced with tracks by other music team members, and eventually [[album:homestuck-vol-1-4]] was released, including several replacement tracks. The entire fiasco around Bolin has long been infamous within the music fandom.
-    It also came to public light later that Bolin had acted transphobic towards another music team member.

 Context Notes: |-
-    Around a month after the release of [[album:homestuck-vol-5]], it was noticed that one of this artist's [[track:endless-heart|tracks]] was wholly based on an [[track:heart-of-the-creator|unrelated track]] by someone else. Said track was available as a MIDI file, which makes it quite easy to repurpose and alter existing music.
-
-    In response, they claimed that it had been an honest mistake, forgetting that this old track was derivative of someone's else work when asked to submit all the music they could for Volume 5 (this is why the album is so huge). Nevertheless they readily agreed to have all their music removed from the album and to leave the music team.
