Before I started composing this song I listened to a shit-ton of battle music from Koh Otani's <b>Shadow of the Colossus</b> soundtrack, and it shows. [Oh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjokwJ-Xmh8), [boy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=147rTHgKmXY), [does it show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvCYvH30AYY), especially from 0:49 onward with the rhythm and percussion of the piece. - <b>Violet Mariner</b> was the first song I started working on for the Homestuck music contest that eventually became the <b>coloUrs and mayhem</b> dual album. It's a song about Dualscar—but it wasn't always a song about Dualscar. No, it started out as a song about John. This explains the harp/piano section, which plays with the opening melody to <b>[[Showtime (Original Mix|Showtime]]</b>, vaguely darting near it without ever actually producing the exact notes from Malcolm Brown's original song. I intended it to be more of a hint of John's original strife theme than a direct reference. In hindsight, keeping the references to existing Homestuck leitmotifs subtle was a smart idea. If I'd been more overt in my references and just made it a straight-up [[Doctor]] remix or an explicit arrangement of Showtime, it would have been really hard to reallocate it to a different character. And I'm happy that <b>Violet Mariner</b> is a Dualscar song. Dualscar needs more songs. And also it gave Radiation an excuse to almost name it "Violet Seaman". And besides, it means I still technically haven't used the original title, <b>Heirstrike</b>, yet. + <b>Violet Mariner</b> was the first song I started working on for the Homestuck music contest that eventually became the <b>coloUrs and mayhem</b> dual album.
