First, thank you so much for buying this!!! I haven't been composing music for very long but I greatly enjoy doing it, so I composed these tracks as a fun way to make some money for college. I also created this album primarily to challenge my own creative limits; I'm usually known for creating hard-rocking, fast-pumping tunes with very obvious video game overtones. With this album I tried to show that I can manufacture a soundscape beyond that... that sometimes I'm capable of variety! (probably not what you'd normally expect from me!

As it was forming, I decided that limiting myself to only orchestral instruments would hamper my exploration of her character, so I added in more synth sounds and heavier drums. The name of the track comes from a play on "His Honorable Tyrrany" and from a quote by Alexander Pope, "On wrongs swift vengeance waits." I think it's quite fitting for Redglare, who blindsides Mindfang but in the name of justice, of course. <i>Liz Fish:</i> This track inspired me to put a noir twist on my usual style. I could picture Redglare stalking down dirty back alleys and seedy underground establishments, hunting down the fleeing criminals that need to be brought to JUST1C3 in a gritty detective game with cyberpunk flavor.

There are some silhouettes of other trolls in the background which are the other subjuggulators. I added some of my own headcanons for what I like to imagine he dresses like and kept it relatively simple, as well as trying to add as much color to the image as I could.

Considering the song literally had wave sounds in it, I'd figure to put Dualscar near an ocean as well.

Musical inspiration for the song came largely from PhemieC's fansongs and [[Olive Scribe]] (from coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A). Composing it was a journey in itself; along the way she taught me a lot about her history, her undying dedication, and storytelling. She had so much to say, it was difficult to limit myself to such a concise song. Eahc line has been frequently rewritten, reconsidered, and countless have been cut - I was making revisions up until the final recording.

Not because of the technical difficulty but because of the subject matter: Dolorosa is a tragic figure and her sad fate was entirely undeserved. This song opens shortly after the passing of the signless; the four chimes signal his loss and the sad flute her grief. This continues into the arrival of Marquise Spinneret Mindfang: someone Dolorosa may have initially hoped would provide a safer refuge but Mindfang had her own plans for the political prisoner. While the potential for a red relationship between the two was hinted at, it certainly began with empathetic possession which is explored in the second movement of the song: Dolorosa struggles but eventually falls under Mindfang's spell. Darker sounds speak of that despair and when Mindfang finally lets her be, she feels more alone and empty than ever, wishing for someone to come and set her free. Unfortunately, she gets her wish - at the hands of Orphaner Dualscar who frees her of her very existence, solely to spite his soon-to-be former kismesis. The six bell chiems as she passes away echo the beginning of the song and the end of her son. Like many of my songs, it is in 6/8 time: Maryams being the sixth troll on the hemospectrum, Serkets the eighth while the snare drum at the end makes eleven hits to represent Ampora. It's a "dark mirror" to [[Dear Heart]] but follows the sad canon story told by Mindfang's journal. I hope you found I did this unfortunate chapter of the Ancestors' story justice. <i>Oskarna:</i> The death of the Signless marks the beginning of a very different chapter of the Dolorosa's story, and this song does a wonderful job setting the tone for it. I wanted to focus on her initial emptiness - the instigator of this chapter of the Ancestral tale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Dualscar's Lament Artist: not-the-kind-you-save Track Art: Lou Chastain -Duration: 2:46 +Duration: '2:46' Art Tags: - Dualscar URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/dualscars-lament - https://youtu.be/YmOr_qLr_hQ -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- First things first she says your name<br>You gotta hear it to believe it and it gets in your grain<br>You think "uh oh, she's the one"<br>There's hate in her eye and it's turning you on You haven't really met her, you don't know her<br>She's a black box<br>One controlling mind, when she talks it's<br>Hopeless, helpless, hate cascades<br>Before you even know it you've been taken up in spades I am royalty, not prone to jealousy<br>But<br>In this case I think my head's gone up in<br>Flames of something I can't place<br>I saw the look on the slave girl's face @@ -734,16 +734,16 @@ Lyrics: I have never had a strong sense of humor<br>I get off on rumors everywhere I go that she has<br>Gone to the east, or the west, or to hell<br>No matter where, I know her well It's sad that it should end like this<br>One of us will leave this dead<br>It's not my fault she struck me when she knew our black was red I'll find her<br>Don't know where<br>But she'll know what a broken heart feels like<br>When I send the clown after her head -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>not-the-kind-you-save:</i> I wanted to write something that was basically the antithesis of what we know about Dualscar's personality, at least musically speaking.

There's no question that it was an insidious trap for the Condesce, but what is the true nature of the curse spoken by Doc Scratch...? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Handmaid's Lament Artist: Sara Stebbins Track Art: Sigourney Martin -Duration: 3:03 +Duration: '3:03' Art Tags: - The Handmaid URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-handmaids-lament - https://youtu.be/9-6r_T_3poQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Sara Stebbins:</i> This piece is written about the Handmaid's struggle against the Condesce, her ultimate defeat, and a sort of butter-tinged relief she feels from it. I wrote parts of this piece in twelve-tone, alluding to the twelve zodiac signs and the twelve numbers on a clock. I tried to keep this piece as simple as I could because I feel that the Handmaid has this silent, brooding austerity with a sense of anger within, which I tried to bring out in occasional dissonance. <i>Sigourney Martin:</i> So right away this song made me feel /really/ sad. For Handmaid I mean. She needs hugs. But yeah, this song really makes me hear and or see her pain and I suppose relief from just being away from Lord English's grasp.

So I created a melody to fit this description, and it blossomed from there. <i>Gilwing:</i> The only time Pyralspite and Redglare are shown together in-comic they're busy raining hellfire on Mindfang's fleet, so I wanted to create a more intimate moment to showcase their relationship. A monstrous and powerful, but loving, dragon mother surrounds and protects her cocky, talented daughter with a dangerous passion for justice.

They are not particularly exciting in and of themselves, so instead I'll speak a little about Disc 1 itself. Disc 1 is the part of the album initially designed to contain the twelve "principal tracks", invisaged as the main theme for each of the twelve Beforan trolls. At the start of the project, musicians could actually reserve these spots, but a lot of shuffling happened towards the end. Eventually, each troll ended up having multiple themes on the album, but Disc 1 still contains what can probably be considered their "main" theme, due to its location at the start of the album. With only twelve tracks and the short bookend piece, Disc 1 is far smaller than the longer Disc 2 section. <i>Elanor Pam:</i> This is the third artwork I completed for the project, and once again it ended up being a broup shot-- this time at the mod's request. Since it was the introductory artwork for Disc 1, it felt appropriate to me to depect them on the place where it all started, where Meenah claimed to have found the game after running away from her duties: the Pink Moon.

CHORUSx2 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Neon Zenith:</i> This work was originally intended as a simple cover for a competition on battleofthebits.org. To make it more unique, I took some inspiration from a song by maxvdubs and wrote some original lyrics; originally they were written about the plot of Dark Souls and the frustrating sense of hopelessness within. When considering what sort of song to make for this album, I realised how well the lyrics seemed to resonate with the story of Damara Megido, and adapted them accordingly. I also recently created an introductory segment (based on the pre-chorus and chorus of the song) intended to depict a sort of inner turmoil as one enters a dark period of their life and is confronted with various emotions including despair, horror, and hatred. The name of the song refers to the concept of rpedetermination and fate. Damara's wiki page notes that she holds "much fatalism and frustration" within herself; considering that I had named the set of Souls-themed lyrics "Frustration," it felt somewhat fitting that "Fatalism" be its counterpart. Note that although the lyrics are mostly directed towards Damara, the second and third stanzas of the second verse refer to the Handmaiden and her service to Lord English. (Many thanks to my friend Chris for helping me better understand the plot details.) <i>Amelia G.:</i> Drawing this piece and listening to Neon Zenith's song really made me look at Damara differently. I wanted to highlight the inner turmoil that people tend to look over, adding the Handmaiden to show those feelings that she hides. Damara is an incredibly interesting character, and I was just telling someone that I don't draw enough Megidos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ♉ - Breathtak1ng Artist: Rhyselinn Track Art: doodlebonez -Duration: 5:30 +Duration: '5:30' Art Tags: - Rufioh URLs: @@ -108,72 +108,72 @@ References: - iRRRRRRRRECONCILA8LE - Penumbra Phantasm - track:doctor -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Rhyselinn:</i> Hi! I'm Rhyselinn, the composer for Rufioh Nitram's track "Breathtak1ng." I admit, I had difficulty trying to categorize the Nitrams' music while doing research for this track. By my best estimation, Breathtak1ng is an upbeat flamenco/salsa hybrid. It includes excerpts from (in approximate order): [[Do The Windy Thing]], [[dESPERADO ROCKET CHAIRS,]] [[Bronze Rebel]], [[iRRRRRRRRECONCILA8LE]], and [[Savior of the Waking World]]. (And the ending is reminiscent of [[Infinity Mechanism]], for whatever that's worth.) The middle section also includes excerpts from [[The Lost Child]], a Damara Megido song, and some machinery noises in homage to Horuss Zahhak. Rufioh's character arc in Openbound focuses heavily on his romantic entanglements with these two characters, so I wanted Breathtak1ng to emphasize Rufioh's nature as a freedom-oriented Breath player, and portray him breaking free of these toxic attachments. As a result, the two interludes feel darker and less energetic to contrast the moment iRRRRRRRRECONCILA8LE kicks in. That's when Rufioh metaphorically spreads his wings, breaks free of those binding attachments, and is finally able to fly and succeed in the most amazing, breathtaking way. <i>doodlebonez:</i> The idea for this art was to have Rufioh flying away from the ones who have made his life hard. The papers flying about are meant to be seen as him finally pursuing what he loves. Ideally I would have loved to have him fly into the sun, but as I imagined him as being alive rather than dead, this was not ideal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ♊ - The Mituna Method Artist: psithurist Track Art: slitherbot -Duration: 2:46 +Duration: '2:46' Art Tags: - Mituna URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-mituna-method - https://youtu.be/yXB8fYZFRq0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>psithurist:</i> I was asked to make a track as a theme for Mituna, so my first thoughts were 1. chip sounds and 2. guitars. The first draft of the track was a lot more chaotic, with the melodies being played on live guitars, and it didn't really work out, so most of it ended up being cut - only a couple of backing guitar tracks amde it onto the final piece. The title and theme of this track is based on a (somewhat infamous) fan theory, which speculates that Mituna's injuries come from him burning out whilst using his psiionic powers to propel Prospit's moon from the alpha trolls' session into another, allowing the remaining living trolls to use its quest beds to go god tier. I don't know if that idea will pan out at all, but I thought it was interesting enough to write a song about!

I wanted to produce a track that captured the feeling of Kankri's self-assured snobbery and pseudo-intellectualism as it was presented in his first appearance in Openbound, but from his own perspective. I imagine the feel of the track is rather what Kankri thinks of himself in his crusade for social justice. The structure of the melody was inspired by certain works of baroque classical music, although I can hardly have been said to have stuck to any one particular convention! The track was originally intended to be modified somewhat, but due to technical issues I lost the progress file for it! Hoewver I didn't want to see what I had to waste, and I believe that the track stands up solidly on its own in its current form. I hope you think so too! <i>Taylor Leong:</i> For this piece, I was thinking particularly about how the track is meant to be how Kankri views himself within the greater context of Beforan society. I thought that the classical Baroque influences in the music really reflected the rigid pseudo-benevolent social strucutre and pretensions within Beforan society that Kankri seeks to criticize and improve upon, albeit in his own flawed way. Visually, I drew influences from various religious artworks, including Medieval iconography as well as the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio, referencing both Kankri and the Sufferer's roles as a play on traditional literary Christ figures. Overall, Kankri takes himself extremely seriously, and the track art reflects that self-image in the form of a somber, messianic martyr heroically withstanding the persection of people triggering and encroaching upon his personal space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ♌ - MOG^3 Artist: Dallas Ross Hicks Track Art: felicitousArtisan -Duration: 7:01 +Duration: '7:01' Art Tags: - Meulin URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/mog-3 - https://youtu.be/4GqkApgXiQU References: Nine Lives One Love -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Dallas Ross Hicks:</i> MOG^3<br>1.

Like 9L1L, it's also in 9/8 time and the opening bells tap out the morse code for MOG. The second part starts suddenly as she "meets" a peculiar purpleblood... one Kurloz Makara. The organ is prominent but also lots of whimsical synth sounds to suggest he's an entertainer but with a more sinister side. The cymbals tap out 10 hits as Makaras are the tenth troll on the list from low to highbloods. A slow romantic transition follows, reintroducing the Leijon bells over Makara's organ sounds and then into the third section, where the heavy drums pound out a heartbeat for the Mage of Heart and you can hear voices for both Kurloz's seductive whispers and Meulin's joyous song. As she falls asleep in his arms, he too begins to dream... the chiming bells signal the arrival of the Vast Honk and the tinnitus that recedes into Meulin's deafened silence. <i>felicitousArtisan:</i> I've always found Meulin slightly unsettling, so I was pleased to be assigned art duty on a track that explores all facets of the character, rather than just "she's cute and likes cats!". Meulin happily ships and memes her way through a surprisingly tragic life; she's fine that Kurloz deafened her, she's oblivious that he's mind-controlling her. I wanted to reflect that with a smiling mouth and eyes full of stars and the beauty of it all, but a sense of emptiness and loss as the Vast Honk obliterates her hearing and she's left with a meaningless future.

Admittedly I wrote this song less about Aranea's story and more about a folktale called the spider's thread, which ironically ties into Aranea's story well. I'm not gonna go into details about the folk tale but basically Aranea has a spider theme (obviously) and she came out of a pseudo hell by clinging to a small hope, only for her selfish desires to drop her back where she came from. Man none of this was really about the music aspect, uh, I wrote the song in 4-5 days. That's cool I guess. <i>HermesNitram:</i> I intended to stay faithful to Aranaea's arc and showed her nature through the clothes and facial expressions she wears in "Homestuck". The whole piece was inspired by the theme of spider - how it spins a web through the story, trapping and ensnaring others in the plot, but, if lost, might end up trapping itself in the cobweb. The string figure made from the necklace she wears is called "The Hangman's Trick." It was heavily inspired by the bouncy theme of the music. It shows how she has trapped others (portrayed by paper dolls, a callback to wooden dolls of regeneration and French Pantins, otherwise known as jumping jacks), and herself in it: one wrong move and she'll be left hanging! Of course, one cannot forget about the visualization of the Light aspect, the immortal sun - both holding and being trapped by the web, just like Aranea herself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ♐ - Creeping Blue Artist: smear Track Art: Gene -Duration: 2:38 +Duration: '2:38' Art Tags: - Horuss URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/creeping-blue - https://youtu.be/KaK8z8buRhA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>smear:</i> This track was inspired by the fact that Horuss was a very mean kinda dude before the game, and very early on in his relationship with Rufioh.

With the appearance of a juggalo, mime and skeleton combined, how could he not? He's apparently calm but creepy or terrifying and boisterous depending on who he's talking to, which is something I wanted to emulate in this track with the contrast between the first section and everything afterwards. However, his true, clownish nature shines at the end, when he takes the last resolving note hostage then rubs it in your face. What a rascal. This went through a few (very incomplete) iterations before I finished it, mainly because I wasn't sure where to start expressing Kurloz's character; in the end I combined melodies from different versions to make the final product. It's neat how music can work that way! (P.S The Morse code sounds out "HONK". Because of course.) <i>Robin:</i> I really liked the idea of Kurloz and puppets, and obviously, you need strings to move puppets. From the thought of puppets, to strings, to the red string of faith. And yknow, a string for each finger equals to five strings. It reminded me of piano and such, so from that I just put on some notes onto the bloody strings.

You might note the Megalovania reference in the ending guitar. Coupled with Rex Duodecim Angelus (their session's defeat of the Black King) and English (her alternate self's employment by Lord English), this piece covers Meenah in her entirety. At the end, Meenah is reflecting. She sees herself as evil. Reminded of her final moments in her session, as she detonates the bomb sending all of them as ghosts into the Farthest Ring, she severs ties with Vriska, and returns to lead an army. <i>Rangzhe:</i> I wanted to reflect on what the musician wanted to portray Meenah on the track, but also my ideas of Meenah's similarity in personality with her Alternian counter-part, the Condesce.

Unlike Disc 1, which consists of individual themes for each of the trolls, Disc 2 is a narrative depiction of their story. Each song, be it a theme for a particular aspect of a character, a soundtrack for a particular event, or else a scene-setting piece, has been arranged so that Disc 2 roughly forms a narrative story in chronological order, which can hopefully be seen in the music and artwork. Because this was not specifically the intention from the start, and because some tracks have been arranged in particular awys due to reasons other than theanarrative order (such as when track art depictions do not fit the original order), in some places the placement of tracks is not perfect, or at the very least might be debated. Overall however I think Disc 2 forms a relatively complet, in depth and coherent tale in musical form, and it was definitely my favourite part of the album to put together. <i>Lovisa Lassen:</i> The tracks on Disc 2 follow a narrative approach to the story of the Beforus trolls and I wanted to show that by using dream bubbles, which contain the memories of the dead.

It's actually a fairly simple track, made in Sibelius with nothing but built-in instruments and ambient sounds, but I've grown to like it a lot. (People who are into brazilian folk songs can probably feel the influence here.) <i>Sallidido:</i> I chose the three trolls that I did because they had the biggest impacts on the sufferer's life, so adding their less violent and warmer counterparts was the comparison, but I added the whole gang in another version because I wasn't quite sure you woulda ccept it with only 3 beforus characters. I listened to the song you sent quite a few times and the background was based on it. (I got the general barren but soft vibe from it?)

Overall, I tried to capture the feeling of flying through space and leaving everything stressful behind. As far as structure, the beginning part represents Meenah starting to feel better, but still holding back a bit on good feels. Then, after the drop represents when she finally lets go of everything that once troubled her. The song ends similar to how it started to sort of foreshadow her return to power in the end. Funny story: the song started out with a 4/4 time signature. When I made the drop, I was making it in 6/8 without really realizing it, and then after I figured it out, I rewrote the beginning part to fit the new signature, and it felt so much smoother and better. And that's how I found out about time signatures :P <i>Danna Vital:</i> I've actually never drawn Meenah before and at first I was a little nervous but as soon as I heard the song I got very inspired and came up with a bunch of concept sketches.

Horuss for me, despite his humorous characterisation, has always had this sort of aura about him, this cloud of smoke and steam - a sort of sense of an industrial force wrapped up in this one, lonely individual. His steam automata and his manner, naturally brooding beneath the forced cheerful exterior, almost feel like Equius but somehow more mature, with more gravitas. I tried to put all that into this track. It's a lot more slow moving and atmospheric than my usual work. I imagine a steam engine locomotive building up speed, slow but inexorable, and impossible to stop once unerway. Fun fact; free steam samples are hard to find. Aside from the one locomotive sound effect I did manage to source, most of the pneumatic hiss you hear is in fact me blowing on my microphone. <i>Cakelets:</i> When I heard this track the first thing that came to me was an industrial vibe so I tried to stick with that impression by adding the steam and darker colros coupled with the bright orange. This piece was also very atmospheric so I tried to emulate that by having the smoke almost engulfing Horuss as well as adding the fkecls of black to represent oil and further the industrial feel of the piece.

In this case, I envisioned Beforus' "years in the future" scenario as being not quite as refined as the Midnight Crew's city, since I kind of doubt the Beforan trolls would have enough teamwork to bother exiling them, but with much more room to build upon than pre-Scratch Earth since the Red Miles and Bec Noir ruined any potential our original exiles had. So the buildup of this song really represents the growth of the Beforan exiles (whoever they may be) and their community itself! (Of course, there's still the issue of Spades Slick eventually shooting a bullet and destroying the entire universe... yikes. Guess they can worry about that later...?) <i>Neiratina:</i> I've always liked the juxtaposition between photography and illustrations drawn on top of them, especially creatures and critters interacting with everyday objects as if they were part of our routine, something unseen but still among us. For this piece, I wanted to create something similar, but with a little twist. I wanted both worlds to fuse and be a part of each other. And to answer the "what ifs" by presenting another question: what if, years in the future (but not many) our own universe becomes their reality? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Skaia Ad Infinitum Artist: Seijen Track Art: Lovisa Lassen -Duration: 5:19 +Duration: '5:19' Art Tags: - Kankri - Damara @@ -647,16 +647,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/skaia-ad-infinitum - https://youtu.be/Iwr1yI5G5mA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Seijen:</i> 3 days before the finalization of my track marked one year since I took on to music production.

The floating left-hand chord pattern that is heard throughout the song is inspired by [[Flare]], and [[Three in the Morning]]. The piano portion was composed before I even knew of the fan album, so it was mostly in the additional elements (the strings, woodwinds, percussion, etc.) that the character was shaped. As the track progressed, I began to see more and more elements of Rufioh in it. The track follows Rufioh's storyline in that, at the beginning, it is calm and simple, reflecting his life before sGrub and his relationship with Damara. As the tension mounts in the drumline, we discover his feelings for Horuss and the beginnings of his fights with Damara as the strings kick in. The gradual crescendo to the end shows the challenges he faces during the game and the desparation to save the world how he knows it. As his life ends, he reflects back on it, wondering if he could have made other choices to have kept this from happening. <i>Neiratina:</i> The real challenge about illustrating this song was the fact that it depicted so many different emotions I couldn't just choose one to stand out from all the rest. Together, they spoke of a lifetime summed up in one melody. In the end, I felt like it was a revelation: the experience of having your life flash before your eyes. "The Explored Ruins" doesn't necessarily need to be referring to a physical place, I realized. What about the ruins of your own existence? Since both Damara and Horuss played such important roles in Rufioh's life, I really wanted to include them in what ended up being not so metaphorical objects: the roses, representing passion but also strangling, hurting love; and the arrows, symbolizing a new union and a new direction. Yet, in the end, everything fades away with one last Breath.

I was originally considering writing something more lively, like an instruental sea shanty, but I decided that solace fit the two best. I imagine it wasn't a loud or busy relationship, and so neither is the track. My concurrent goal was the ncourage listeners to look into the future themselves. Just a track to take a breath to, look at the sky to, contemplate. At the very least, to imagine this pair doing so, in their time together.

I've made music before relating to a similar topic ([[Void Session]]), but that was more relevant to the alpha kids. The functions and mechanics of Sburb has always been one of the most facinating aspects of the Homestuck universe to me, so it's always fun to explore that inspiration. <i>Gilwing:</i> The challenge here was to depict the glitch in the session itself, which is a pretty vague concept; the alpha trolls' ectobiology took place after the scratch, they weren't born in their own session. This is also Lord English's calling card, which is represented by the orb kinda looking like Scratch's head depicting the ectobiology lab in universe A2. I originally wanted to include all the trolls in the piece, but it was way too cluttered so I just went with their colors instead. I didn't want the whole thing to be about Kankri since this is about a game concept in general, but the reason I used him was becuase to my (questionable) knowledge, he probably would've been the ectobiologist if their session wasn't glitched, like Karkat.

The world of Homestuck is always so wonderful, and I feel like people forget about it sometimes.

Anybody. This song captures the style of music from that time, starting with Cronus's generally pleasant mood but giving way to his overbearing on-the-make obnoxiousness that invariably drives people away. This doesn't make his loneliness any less real, which is illustrated at the end of the tune by a slow, sad finale. I grew up listening to this kind of music on my parents' radio so I really enjoyed bringing elements of my favourites from the Fifties to life in this song! <i>Cro:</i> It's amusing once more to be drawing Cronus; he's practically a staple for me. That being said, I had a challenging but workable idea of how I wanted to present the piece. Seeing Cronus on a quest for love but failing would eventually lead to that path of sulking, and that is presented within his gray, stormy scheme (that, and the 50's barely had much in color still). With the fact he's outside of a dream bubble (a watery, lily pad dream bubble) where a red string of fate passes, it's almost like he's fishing for a pirze without really getting any bites. T oget even deeper into this harshness, the fact that it's a dream bubble can only leave for his hopes to be trapped in that; a dream. Something that could come so close, yet so far, and he continues trying to get a fish to catch his hook. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: STRONG Like Hoofbeast Artist: theh0nestman Track Art: felicitousArtisan -Duration: 3:32 +Duration: '3:32' Art Tags: - Horuss URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/strong-like-hoofbeast - https://youtu.be/rjm5pMs7I8I -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>theh0nestman:</i> I liked the strong man character type and wanted to take a simple piece of music and build strength.

After playing around and switching up orders i ended up with something that just felt right. The first part represents hir first impression, the downtempo part is dedicated to her more serious 'libra side'. In the end it will all come together and really emphasise the radical personality she has created for herself. <i>oxfordroulette:</i> The DJ scratches in the track reminded me of some kind of golden age of hip hop/Blade Runner fusion.

Latula allows herself to let go of her "rad girl" act around Porrim, which she uses as a defense channel for her insecurities regarding her lacking hte sense of smell. When Porrim and Latula interact, they are able to openly ponder about life and the mysteries of universal questions, such as the possibilities and the capabilities of fate, should fate truly exist. The heartbeat-like rhythm symbolizes their open heart-to-heart conversation, the chimes representing Latula's carefree spirit, and the mallets exprses Porrim's inquisitive thinking. <i>Josefin B.:</i> Porrim and Latula's interactions have always been one of m yfavourite parts of Homestuck as a whole. Their conversation, to me, seems like a break from the actual story and we get two adult women being friends and discussing spiritual, universal and personal matters. I wanted to capture that, but also their own personalities in the art. We have Latula, who happily leans over Porrim as a greeting, trusting her to be there. We have Porrim, calmly waiting for Latula whom she trusts will arive.

That song is about Porrim, and incorporates ideas of her radiance as a rainbow drinker, and so I had those images in my mind when I was putting this song together. However, for my own spin on the LMDLMG leitmotif, I wanted to give the track a broader meaning, so I decided to turn this into a song about the Green Sun, and how its light shines through the furthest ring and presides over the Beforan session (and many others). I used a similar set of sounds to those which I incorporated into [[Formant (Sprite Chorus Mix)]], the eponymous Formant synth common in both tracks always having given me the feeling of radiant light. <i>Circlejourney:</i> The track is nominally about the Green Sun, but the inclusion of the main leitmotif in Porrim's principal track links the Sun to Porrim specifically. I found that an interesting relationship and decided to explore it in the track art.

The theme sounds dark and emotional, which rpompted me to, humorously, think about that meme where a person is on a stool with a microphone and has faded versions of their face around. Obviously I didn't do that here, but the more I thought about it seriously, the mroe I thought it'd fit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Madam Firefly Artist: violasarecool Track Art: magnoliajades -Duration: 2:19 +Duration: '2:19' Art Tags: - Porrim URLs: @@ -1485,39 +1485,39 @@ URLs: References: - Homestuck Anthem - track:skies-of-skaia -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Madam Firefly,<br>Blinking in the sky,<br>Swim through the stars to find your place,<br>You're wandering through endless space.

I focused on the mood of the song (and how the sound of the vocals made me feel) more so than the lyrics, and tried to capture those moods in this picture.

Uptown Funk is undoubtedly one of the best records of this decade so far, and, what with the concept of the Homestuck song parody having a fairly rich canon at this point, I thought it was a shame that it had yet to get the same treatment. I thought a fairly tongue-in-cheek "East Beforan Funk" re-arrangement and re-lyricised cover of the track would be a fun thing to slot in at the end of the album. Several times I thought that I might not finish it in order to make the cut, especially seeing as arranging the entire track with new instrumentation in FL was incredibly painstaking, but I got there in the end! The whole vocal portion of the track is somewhat of an homage to a failed project that I was working on with the pseudonymous "The D" some years ago, "Scourge Siblings", to record some of the lyrical accompaniments that I'd written for various Homestuck tracks over the years. None of that ever really came to full fruition despite our best efforts at the time, but I think this is probably the best thing that could have come out of that failed project! I hope it as fun to listen to as it was to make. <i>memento vivere:</i> I figured that a parody of a real song deserved parody album artwork to match, so of course I ended up Funkifying Rifoh and Damara and mimicking the actual Uptown Funk album artwork. Considering the state that we saw Damara and Rufioh in Openbound, it was kinda nice to be able to draw them from a time when they were having lighthearted fun together! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Rex Duodecim Daemonia X (ReDuX) Artist: Veritas Unae Track Art: HermesNitram -Duration: 7:40 +Duration: '7:40' Art Tags: - BK - Kankri @@ -1584,18 +1584,18 @@ References: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/rex-duodecim-daemonia-x-redux - https://youtu.be/Cve3V9NnEPE -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Veritas Unae:</i> This piece... I don't think I've ever had a chance to write anything like it. It was insanely challenging, least of all trying to find some way to fit in all of the principal tracks. I've tried my best to include something that sort of sounds close to each of the tracks while telling a story, but I apologise if it's not exactly what or as much as you expect. The King Awakens. Kankri's Rally. Horuss and Rufioh's Attempt. Meulin and Kurloz's Carnival. Damara, Centre Stage. Retaliation and Aranea's Failure. Porrim's Glow. Cronus's Final Stand. Mituna and Latula's Efforts. Aranea's Return. Meenah's Finale. I could spend a while talking about this so I'll just note a few things: Kurloz mimics RDA like Gamzee did. Aranea attempts to make a big show against the king around 4.33, but fails (Porrim steps up to help after this). The Thirteenth Hour appears at the end of the Mituna/Latula section as well. It's something "ve always wanted to reference in a track and seemed appropriate for thsi song that was literally finished in the last hours of the project. I hope you've enjoyed this album as much as I enjoyed spending several long nights toiling over this piece. <i>HermesNitram:</i> The fight with the Black King is surely one of the most exciting parts of the game, and I tried to show the spirit of the fight that each Beforus troll would have. The order of trolls on the picture follows the track, and each one has been assigned the most possible fitting weapon that would help them fight the Black King. In order of appearance: Kankri (Social Justice speech), Horuss (untamed strength of bare fists), Rufioh (spear and shield), Kurlzo (chucklevoodoos and needle with thread), Meulin (written fanfiction), Damara (wands), Porrim (glow and the Gigli chainsaw), Cronus (Ahab's Crosshairs), Mituna & Latula (Troll Playstation), Aranea (dice and Mindfang's sword), and Meenah (2x3dent).

So I did my best to convey all of that. The track uses many synth sounds, or at least *some* synth sounds, and to me that was enough to justify going for the 80's neon aesthetic. I used mainly triadic palette where each colour corresponded to one of the characters: orange for Dirk, violet for Rose, teal/turquoise for Terezi. The theme of "three" is also reinforced by the triangle shape, which I referenced in composition as well as by slapping a big fat triangle in the middle of the picture. It works as a visual portal and also represents the letter Delta (as in Deltritus, the name of the new planet). The idea of actual assembling of the game is referenced through the Venn diagram glyph inside the portal and by those sick grid mountains in the background that I totally didn't trace from some random stock image.

Even the same symbolism can be found in other pieces: Theseus streaking across his face, shatters of memories lost to space. Mine started to mutate though, to take on a form beyond my control. My skill to render the memories failed me: WIPs show the corpse of John, the beheading of Dirk, other fragments of the Epilogues. The main decisions of the piece happened spontaneously: fragments of a clock reforming to Dirk's silhouette, Theseus moving from the corner and taking its place as Dirk's glasses. The colors went through many iterations, a volatile photoshop file of hue shifts and stacked filters. The final nail in the coffin for any hope of a semblance of normalcy in this came with my most baffling decision of all: splashing my previous two track arts for UMSPAF over this one. My original monochrome draft for Diverging Delicacies' "Dirk's Dreamers" became the only shattered memory, a destruction of art I birthed but am not fond of.

I knew that I wanted a scene of Tavros, in his Peter Pan outfit, staring out as the friends and army they'd worked so hard to gather get eaten by the black hole. The ghosts are just as much the ‘Lost Boys' here as Tav is himself. I was going for a ‘wistful, but resigned' sort of feeling for this, since all Tav can really do now is watch.

The laughter was an interesting example - It’s from one of those collections of samples of voice that are usually terrible and added to 90s dance tracks (Shouting something random if its a male voice, like “CHECK THIS BASS!!” or “YEAH!” and moaning something incoherent if it’s female like “Oooahhhawoooahhayeah!”.

While we really wanted to jump in and get to making more Homestuck music following Volume 9, we decided to wait and discover more of the two characters until December when Radiation re-organized the effort. He proposed the Jekyll / Hyde alternating pace of the album culminating in “Eternity Served Cold” and had the group split into pairs, each musician working with a partner on a track with the same themes and motifs. I worked with Erik, who sent me the at-the-time unfinished Calliope composition “Constant Confinement" for me to base my Caliborn track around. Erik’s track was so meditative, it was actually difficult to recognize the slow-paced woodwind melody over the course of the piece, which pulses onward without any strict meter. This melody had to be expanded upon a lot to match the pace of "Constant Conquest" - it actually flies by at breakneck pace in the first measure of the piece before settling into its groove. Conquest in many ways resembles [[Ruins Rising]], another electronic track based around one of Erik’s piano compositions. Like in my approach to “Ruins" I arranged the melody sparsely and created a very dense environment of drums and percussion sounds to convert Erik’s pulse into a groove. Same input, same solution, although this time I went much, much heavier than ever before. I had a handful of different drum kits going all at once, each with unique effects chains, to create more of an ensemble sound than a clean dance beat. What really sealed in the atmosphere of this track was the huge slather of pads that adorned the track, most of which were created using analog equipment. I fed the signal from an old Radio Shack keyboard with basic midi patches through a pawn shop guitar pedal to create the many layers of sound that fill the background. Some of the most excellent sounds on the track (especially that snarling synth at 2:57) were created by hammering the mod knobs and wah-wah pedal while playing atonal pitches. The result is distorted synth excellence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Lyrist Artist: Thomas Ferkol Track Art: rumminov -Duration: 3:35 +Duration: '3:35' Art Tags: - Calliope URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-lyrist-2 - https://youtu.be/Tybj0RZoGks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Lordling Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: rumminov -Duration: 2:51 +Duration: '2:51' References: The Lyrist, Flowey's Laugh Art Tags: - Caliborn URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-lordling-2 - https://youtu.be/nLrChSME0T8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Eternity Served Cold Artist: Malcolm Brown Track Art: rennerei -Duration: 8:20 +Duration: '8:20' Art Tags: - Caliborn -- cw: blood +- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/eternity-served-cold-2 - https://youtu.be/wg9jows9Yfo @@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ References: - track:ruins - Penumbra Phantasm - track:doctor -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Malcolm Brown:</i> First off, a thanks to the folk who enjoyed EsC.

This was one of my favorite pieces to work on and even today I’m still pretty pleased with how it turned out, from the striking staccato and col legno strings opening the song to the frantic violins, melancholic chromatic percussion, deep brass, and fast-paced drum grooves. I wanted the song to be big, epic, a little scary. If I may be so immodest, I think I succeeded. Rust Servant was the only one of my three contest submissions to remain allocated to the character I had in mind while writing it, Aradia’s tragic ancestor and Lord English’s dreadful Handmaid (although the name was changed from the terribly uncreative Handmaid of Death to something more apt for the naming scheme of the album). When I wrote this song, I had just taken an Intro to Hinduism class the previous fall and had written a short research paper on Kali, the Hindu goddess of time and death (more remembered for being related to death—those of you who have seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom must be familiar with the Thuggees, a cult of Kali-worshipers infamous for conducting human sacrifices—and, apparently, ripping people’s hearts out and setting them on fire as well). And, of course, because I am A SHAMELESS HOMESTUCK NERD, I immediately thought, “Time? Death? THAT REMINDS ME OF ONE OF THE TROLLS” (no I didn’t write my paper on that, i’m not that terrible). It doesn’t come through much in the song itself, but that’s where I got the inspiration from. And the moral of this story is, take a theology class (or two, or three) on a religion you know nothing about. It’ll give you all sorts of new ideas for Homestuck fanart. Also when the album came out and this song was the first song on the album after Radiation’s intro I was all “HOLY SHIT RADIATION LIKED THIS SONG SO MUCH HE MADE IT THE FIRST SONG” and started pelvic-thrusting across my dorm room. Then I realized that it was only first due to all the tracks being organized from lowest to highest by the blood color of the troll they represented. I continued pelvic-thrusting across my dorm room anyway. And to wrap things up, milkmanner’s art for the track is just perfect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Bronze Rebel Artist: Yan Rodriguez Track Art: Kitsu -Duration: 4:13 +Duration: '4:13' Art Tags: - The Summoner - Tavros URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bronze-rebel - https://youtu.be/5z4ctxDKCVM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Yan Rodriguez:</i> This track is one I sure as hell put a ton of effort into, as it was my big chance to finally do something with my music. I was at a pretty good time of my life and I was able to work on this thing day in and day out, and so I did, but first I put a lot of though into what I wanted to actually do. I’m a bit of a contrarian when it comes to making music, always trying to figure out what everyone else does so that I could do something different, and so I wanted to make a theme for Tavros that looked at his character from a more serious perspective about what he was and what he wanted to do. It’s original title, “If I were like Rufio,” reflected the melancholy desire to be something or be in a world where he was great, where he was a hero but in reality he couldn’t really amount to much, and it was his own fault. For the style of the song I ended up falling back on one of my main styles, which I called “orchestral cinematic/game with a hint of latin rhythms and harmonies.” I don’t really know what it might actually be called. Unfortunately, while this made the song accomplish what I wanted it to, it can be a bit hard to listen to at times, for being too dependent on situation and scenery. However I’m very proud of it! I got to practice a lot of new and old things and combine them into what’s currently my longest song! Well, longest I’m not ashamed of.

Even now it’s still my least favorite of the three songs I submitted. Why Radiation picked it along with my other two, I’ll never know. I certainly wasn’t expecting it to be chosen. With over a thousand submissions I’m sure there was no shortage of Redglare songs for him to choose from. Maybe the $20 I slipped him when I submitted my songs had something to do with it But his ways are not our ways. When Volume 9 came out, a lot of people looked at Radiation’s arrangement of Stress by Buzinaki and started noting similarities between it and Teal Hunter. Radiation wrote about why the two songs sound similar in his commentary for Stress. If we’re going to talk about “what sounds like what”, then I’ll lay my cards on the table and state that Teal Hunter was begun as pretty much a direct reference to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt_0Lg4-RkE">00 Gundam</a> from the Gundam 00 soundtrack (if you can’t tell by now, I really like Gundams). When I started the piece, the first draft was more or less a low-rent version of that song, in the same way a cartoon that wants to parody Indiana Jones would get a song that sounds close to John Williams’ Raiders March without being close enough to qualify as plagiarism. So I just kept fiddling with it until the two melodies sounded different. By the time I got to the final product and had added the buildup in the beginning, the two had nothing but their rhythm and syncopation in common. Teal Hunter’s original title was Bête Blanche, a play on bête noire, a French phrase literally meaning “black beast” that the fan name “Bec Noir” is most likely a reference to. As evident, the song was originally allocated to PM, the one Exile powerful enough to battle Jack Noir to a stalemate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cobalt Corsair Artist: Max Wright References: Hallowed Halls Track Art: Grue -Duration: 4:14 +Duration: '4:14' Art Tags: - Mindfang URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cobalt-corsair - https://youtu.be/FhFw9mhGf84 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Max Wright:</i> For those of you who didn’t know, Cobalt Corsair was originally a theme for Hussie.

I tend to listen to the kind of music I like to compose and compose the kind of music I like to listen to. Before I started composing this song I listened to a shit-ton of battle music from Koh Otani’s Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack, and it shows. Oh, boy, does it show, especially from 0:49 onward with the rhythm and percussion of the piece. Violet Mariner was the first song I started working on for the Homestuck music contest that eventually became the coloUrs and mayhem 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 Showtime, 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 Violet Mariner 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, Heirstrike, yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Fuchsia Ruler Artist: Kezinox Track Art: Mel -Duration: 4:07 +Duration: '4:07' Refrences: Liquid Negrocity, twoward2 the heaven2 Art Tags: - The Condesce @@ -224,14 +224,14 @@ URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/fuchsia-ruler - https://youtu.be/AgOGQVszHbY - https://soundcloud.com/kezinox/witching-hour -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Kezinox:</i> Obviously with a name like Witc)(ing )(our, this song is for the condesce/batterwitch/etc. I always figured a sexy psychotic space empress bent on universal domination needed an over-the-top evil, but also dance-able track.

Disgaea 4 was my most anticipated title of yesteryear and I ended up clocking roughly 300 hours in it. Playing it was essentially what finally made me look at the bigger picture when it came to how Disgaea structured it’s entire universe, and if you know me, I love fictional universes with established rules and boundaries that are cleverly told. During the time I was playing the game I had roughly three or four pipe-projects when it came to comics or visual stories in general, some of which I will delve into soon enough, but generally I come up with ideas for storytelling around one basic principle and I keep them in an idea bucket for whenever I plan on working on them. The projects are things I hope to blend audio and visual presentations to, and as such I often tend to compose music with these projects in mind. Playing Disgaea as such gave me a new idea for a story I since abandoned, and was basically a story of a witch traveling worlds. I decided eventually to experiment a bit with creating some music for a scenario I had in mind, and the only thing I would eventually get out of it was a clarinet melody. The original inspiration was to be Tenpei Sato’s compositions but I never really got to finish it since my laptop had a meltdown. @@ -259,7 +259,7 @@ Commentary: The idea was to have it be a bit of a grim little insidious melody for a title character, but somehow it ended up being slightly more Grant Kirkhope-ish during the N64 era in retrospect, which is something I have to say I’m kind of proud of since he’s a massive inspiration. I eventually got the call back from Radiation during late February and was told that it won a spot. I was in shock and awe at that point, as it meant that I finally got somewhere substantial with my work. Immediately I re-rendered Rust Maid; then titled Apocalypse Maid, and Orange Hat, and sent it along What Pumpkin’s way. Here’s a fun fact though. When Radiation contacted me, he told me that the song was to be retitled “Rust Servant”, and was to be the Handmaid’s theme. This was something I was okay with, but he immediately contacted me a while afterwards and reassigned the character to it’s original intended character. Between a few e-mails exchanged by me and him, we still referred to the actual track as “Rust Servant”, until I got my contract which had it titled “Rust Maid”. I thought this was a contract mistake of some sort, but imagine my surprise when I saw the first track on the album thinking it was mine and not realizing it was adhering to a color scheme. Rust Servant was fucking awesome though. Another fun fact - there’s a cowbell right at the start that wasn’t supposed to be there. I don’t even know how it got there. The original sound file was a reverse cymbal. It happened sometime after I recovered the file and I didn’t notice it until after I listened to the remastered version again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Bronze Page Artist: Ian White, Eston Schweickart Contributors: Ally Clark (vocals) @@ -270,143 +270,143 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bronze-page - https://youtu.be/2ZmG8q5z1XE -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- There is a land that I know, it is real and not just make believe<br>One where friends will defend one another to the end, and you never have to leave A boy with the love in his heart, 'boldened by the courage in his soul<br>He will fight for the rights of the fairies and the sprites, a hero among trolls You sitting there watching troll TV, get on up and come with me!<br>Adventure lies and soon you will be, watching Fiduspawn!

And not one of them has ever guessed Baten Kaitos, which provided the primary sources of inspiration for this track (the two Chaotic Dance songs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B64f48ewdo">link</a> - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ftFQ_ToXvA">link</a>). Absolute madness. So. Gold Mage. Originally known as "Playtime is Over" and written for Dirk Strider before being repurposed to Sollux. Probably my most successful song, before I wrote that remix of Amalgum from Undertale. The very first piece of music I ever made money on. I shan't lie; I'm not as fond of this song as I used to be. Not because of the Homestuck connection or anything; simply because it's just too repettitive. Enough so that it lead to why the eventual remix of it turned out the way it did (too busy and cluttered in places - [[track:gold-mage-playtime-is-over-mix]]) It was so with purpose; I did intend for lyrics to go over this- I even wrote a few- but never recorded anything. But honestly, I can't quite bring myself to hate it. The chords are quite nice, what melodies there are + the basslines are pretty slick, and it was my first major musical success. Though the royalties have since slowed way, way down- it's like £10 every four months, if that- it was a major deal when it first dropped as a part of coloUrs & mayhem: Universe A. Even Toby Fox and (assuming I'm not misremembering entirely) Andrew Hussie had nice things to say about it- directly comarping it to EarthBound-type stuff and being astounded it was written, from the ground up, in a PS1 game. I may not be much into Homestuck these days, and I definitely think the song is showing it's age... but, hell, it's special to me all the same. One of the most integral pieces of my early music career by a wide margin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Iron Knight Artist: DJ最テー Track Art: Emma Glaze -Duration: 4:07 +Duration: '4:07' Art Tags: - Karkat -- cw: blood (abstract) +- 'cw: blood (abstract)' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/iron-knight - https://youtu.be/Nv6hGW8cou4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Olive Rogue Artist: Eston Schweickart Contributors: Alex Amlie-Wolf (bass) Track Art: Grim Harlequin -Duration: 4:57 +Duration: '4:57' Art Tags: - Nepeta - Karkat URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/olive-rogue - https://youtu.be/L2BLUyv7UT0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Astrom:</i> (Bonus art!) <img src="media/misc/olive-rogue-bonus.png" width="600" height="600"> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Jade Sylph Artist: Frank Haught Track Art: Michelle Czajkowski -Duration: 3:50 +Duration: '3:50' Art Tags: - Kanaya -- cw: blood (abstract) +- 'cw: blood (abstract)' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/jade-sylph - https://youtu.be/oT-iHcyEjGQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Teal Seer Artist: Kera Jones Track Art: Sangcoon -Duration: 2:32 +Duration: '2:32' Art Tags: - Terezi - Pyralspite - Scalemates -- cw: hanging +- 'cw: hanging' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/teal-seer - https://youtu.be/Dwcn4q4X0OQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cobalt Thief Artist: Ray McDougall Track Art: Shannon -Duration: 3:22 +Duration: '3:22' Art Tags: - Vriska URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cobalt-thief - https://youtu.be/44un1ADquPA -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- .--. .-.. . .- ... . / .... . .-.. .--. / .... .. -- (<i>Please help him</i>) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Indigo Heir Artist: Paul Tuttle Starr Track Art: Erupan -Duration: 5:00 +Duration: '5:00' Art Tags: - Equius URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/indigo-heir - https://youtu.be/tdzG9kkxGt8 -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- ... --- ...

I was a little disappointed about that, but after having spent days staring at the ceiling trying to figure out what I should do, I realized I just needed to make something. The drums were the first thing I had in my mind that I knew I needed to make a certain way, and the way I made the guitar do 9th intervals was initially an accident that worked out for the best.

Running through a few ideas I landed on doing a kind of jazzy shuffle piece around the main theme from ‘The Beginning of Something Really Excellent’. As soon as I hit the first chord with the Rhodes piano it became smooth. The writing process was really quick and the piece was almost completely sketched out on the keyboard in one go. As the piece was intended for Jade - given the use of the earlier theme - I added in a little bass solo. Technical note: Sometimes when I think I’ve finished writing something I’ll find that it’s a bit too long and something needs to change, this was one of those times. The sound you hear at 3:53 is the sound of me finding a way to avoid playing an extra intro/verse and tightening up the song a bit. Using almost the same build up heard earlier in the piece and changing the resolution at the end has the added advantage of (hopefully) making you think it’s heading back towards the intro riff until the key shifts in the last bar and the song jumps straight to the final chorus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Side 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ~~SIDE 2~~ Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: none @@ -119,11 +119,11 @@ Directory: side-2-universe-b URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/universe-b-side-2 - https://youtu.be/fhaFzwEZ-VI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cyan Beast Artist: David Ellis Track Art: PaperArtichokes -Duration: 3:44 +Duration: '3:44' Art Tags: - Jane - God Cat @@ -131,16 +131,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cyan-beast-2 - https://youtu.be/qhP_QTvAeQg -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>David Ellis:</i> This piece started as an offshoot of a song that was very loosely based on John and Jade’s three year voyage between the two windows. I felt that the theme that became the chorus to this piece needed to be at a higher tempo than the rest of that song so I took it out and based this tune around it instead. It was originally titled ‘Heir of the Dog’ as I was still thinking it could be either a Jade or a John piece at the time and wasn’t certain who I’d end up submitting it for (also because terrible puns). Technical note: Although the piece features keyboard and guitar solos the bass was actually the hardest part to play, in particular during the chorus and the part behind the guitar solo. Extra: This is no longer true since I recorded <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGLUBAgOS7E">the video</a>. For the original recording the two handed parts in the verses and the outro were originally done as 2 separate takes for each one. It wasn’t until I started the video that I thought ‘I could turn these into single parts’ and made things really difficult for myself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pink Cat Artist: Ryan Ames Track Art: MissNK -Duration: 3:52 +Duration: '3:52' References: - track:chorale-for-jaspers - track:aggrieve @@ -148,11 +148,11 @@ References: Art Tags: - Roxy - Cats -- cw: alcohol +- 'cw: alcohol' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pink-cat-2 - https://youtu.be/mF7WdQcSkHI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Ryan Ames:</i> I don’t want to clog up the audio post so I figured I’d make a separate post for my reasoning behind the different parts of the song!

The song finally ends on an ominous and spooky note as Roxy drifts further and further into the void. Wow I did not expect to type this much.

Uh. So I definitely wanted to do a song for him. The main idea I started out with was that I’d do a song with two parts, the first part representing Grandpa Harley, then I’d have it morph into the second part, which would be for post-scratch Jake. I first thought of having a literal record scratch but man that sounded dumb :] I referred to the first part, to myself, as Grandpa Harley, and the second part as Hellmurder Island. For the Grandpa Harley part, I spent about half an hour listening to/watching ragtime piano and vaudeville acts on youtube, to refresh myself on the types of intervals and suchlike that they used. Then I just made it up. I wanted to make Hellmurder Island really dramatic. I had some (not particularly complicated) scenes of Jake running around on his island that I was making it a soundtrack for. Like…the first section is just…running around in the jungle. Then there’s him standing at the top of this huge waterfall, and some birds take off, and the last part is him fighting something or being about to enter the SBURB session. Whatever shit is about to get real for him. :3 The song is mainly influenced by ELO’s ‘Jungle’, haha. Mainly in the way it goes, “duh DUH, duh DUH!” I love how that sounds. I tried to do more jungley percussion but it didn’t end up sounding that good. I made the drum track in this app, which I pretty much use for all my drum tracks cuz it’s awesome. I did everything except the guitar - which was my bandmate playing - in Garageband using my midi keyboard and various soundfonts. I’m so in love with the one that does the main melody. It’s a flugelhorn. It just sounded so much like Jake to me! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Additional Mayhem -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ~~ADDITIONAL MAYHEM~~ Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: none @@ -205,17 +205,17 @@ Directory: additional-mayhem-universe-b URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/universe-b-additional-mayhem - https://youtu.be/GetfDAZKshg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Squiddle Song Artist: Maya Kern Track Art: Maya Kern -Duration: 2:27 +Duration: '2:27' Art Tags: - Squiddles URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/squiddle-song-2 - https://youtu.be/eWNMf4-ZMOQ -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- (<i>C G6 Am F</i>) wake up in the morning<br>there's a brand new day ahead<br>the sun is bright and the clouds smile down<br>and all your friends are dead but the ocean is so friendly<br>the bright blue diamond stratosphere<br>and you know you're gonna have buckets of fun<br>as soon as you can get out of here @@ -232,40 +232,40 @@ Lyrics: (<i>G F C G6</i>) running from skipper plumbthroat<br>why must squiddles meet such an end?<br>hiding from skipper plumbthroat<br>it's time to make new squiddle friends it's time to make new squiddle friends -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Maya Kern:</i> well i really love the squiddles?

The basic seeds of this track belong to PoisonedElite, who left behind a minute-long demo of harpsichord and strings. Imagine my surprise when her MIDI was handed down to me and there were the beginnings of an electronic drum track I didn't get to hear in her exports! So the concept was set, orchestra with electronic rhythmic backing. Mom always seemed like quite the intimidating figure to those who met her. Perpetually drunk, with an endless, seemingly vindictive collection of wizard paraphrenalia, Mom was more living myth than parental figure. While most might soften those figures over time to be more relatable, not Hussie, and not Mom! She handles a massive Sburban monster with ease, demonstrates martial arts and weapons expertise, and catches the romantic attention of Dad without so much as breaking a sweat. All I could think of putting this track together was "classical badass." So here's to you, Ms. Classical Badass. <i>nights:</i> I wanted to try something new for this piece, so I went with a lineless minimal style. For the art, I wanted to draw both of Roxy's post and pre scratch selves, not just Mom Lalonde, since I adore both equally!! While working on it, I wanted to somehow connect the two versions of Roxy together with something common. Eventually, I settled on the scarves, and used them for composition and filling in blank spots in the art piece. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Meteor, Schmeteor (I'll Cut That Thing Right In Half) Directory: meteor-schmeteor Artist: Chaosvariant Track Art: ackro -Duration: 2:38 +Duration: '2:38' Art Tags: Dave's bro References: - track:beatdown-strider-style @@ -125,80 +125,80 @@ References: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/meteor-schmeteor-ill-cut-that-thing-right-in-half - https://youtu.be/aYC3XRHFOkQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Chaosvariant:</i> Hi I go by Chaosvariant.

I started it in March of 2017, and though most of the compositional work was complete by July of that year, I didn't finish polishing everything up until late April 2018, after many months of procrastination and tweaking. The idea of the track is simple, it's Jake's Grandmother, Jade English, writing a song for her signature eclectic bass sometime in the 80's, which you probably already knew from the title. Anyway, I wanted to make a song that you could supposedly 'play' on the eclectic bass, which meant I had to figure out what exactly the components of such an instrument were (see [[media:misc/eclectic-bass-diagram.png|the accompanying diagram]]). I chose the iconic Yamaha DX7 (used in tons of 80's pop) to be the keyboards of the instrument as it could make the sounds I wanted, it was from around the right time, and I had an emulation (Digital Suburban's "Dexed") on hand. Other instruments used in the song were Karfoyer Audio's "Pastabass" and "Swagbass" for the bass guitars themselves, as well as Full Bucket Music's "Ragnarök" (used to flesh out some bass frequencies at the song's peak), and some built-in GarageBand instruments (drums) and effects. Compositionally, I started out with the ostinato that closes [[track:rhapsody-in-green]] (Clark Powell) from the Felt album, but played in reverse, adding in an FM pad (the aforementioned DX7) and [[track:skaianet]] by Mark Hadley on the other bass guitar. The introduction section transitions into variations on [[track:verdancy-bassline]] by Kalibration, and closes the track's first half with a medley of various Jade-related songs. The second half is an original thing (though the beginning is a variation on [[track:afraid-of-the-darko]] by RJ! Lake) that I had build in complexity and intensity before dropping off to end the piece. Reference-wise, I tried to keep things centered roughly on Jade, as well as some other skaianet/felt sort of stuff that I thought fit the Alpha world and Jade's place in it, but I did end up throwing in a couple memetic references, see if you can find them both! <i>Jas:</i> Grandma Harley often wrote her grandson about the tyranny of Lord English, obviously not able to hide everything from the enemy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Felidae Superior Artist: WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES Track Art: shu -Duration: 3:44 +Duration: '3:44' Art Tags: God Cat URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/felidae-superior - https://youtu.be/l0Izf8Sl7LI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</i> This song took remarkably long to put together.

I wanted to capture a feeling of dread by making that part of the song methodical and delaying the payoff of some of the notes by a beat. It would also be a stark contrast to have this straight section in solo piano right after a climactic section with plenty of instruments in a swing beat! I was inspired to incorporate a musical palette from the 30s-40s because that's when I estimate Condy took over as Betty Crocker and started doing her guardian things. In the original song, I planned for the bass to carry most of the weight with regards to rhythm, but eventually, I was persuaded to add percussion to the track after helpful feedback from a few of the organizers, and I think it helped a lot! Hate You is quoted 3 times, although the first two ended up a bit disguised by subsequent layers of instrumentation. With regards to the rest of the composition, I tried to have fun! In a way, this song is supposed to tell the story of The Baroness. The beginning hook and the next section portray the mask she wears as Betty Crocker upon arriving to earth, and the persona that caused her husband Colonel Sassacre to fall in love with her. That part of the story is pretty funny to me. The following section introduces the mystery of her real identity with a jazzy Hate You quote before returning to the first section, and finally the climactic transition of the song represents the death of Colonel Sassacre and the beginning of Crocker's reign of terror proper. Finally, at the very end of the song, there is a piccolo harmony which just sounds like aliens to me, possibly because it sounds a little like a theremin. I learned a lot composing this song! Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed!

The drums start out muffled, as if heard through shell and chorion, and the sound only begins to take shape towards the middle of the track as the riffs grow more complex. @@ -451,18 +451,18 @@ Commentary: I'd love to thank the mods for their feedback, which truly helped me turn this track into what it is now. <i>ackro:</i> this piece is probably the most complex one i did for the album, and i think it payed off in spades. i used a lot of elements from the scene in which terezi's dragon hatches and is immediately killed by a falling meteor, which might be one of the best looking parts in homestuck, although its hard to choose since the first half of homestuck is littered with striking imagery. oh my god just look at it. so good. so fucking good guys. its really good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Arachnida Antecessor Artist: arcaneGemini Track Art: Caitlin Beamer -Duration: 2:11 +Duration: '2:11' References: - track:MeGaLoVania -Art Tags: Vriska's lusus, Vriska, cw: arachnid +Art Tags: 'Vriska''s lusus, Vriska, cw: arachnid' URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/arachnida-antecessor - https://youtu.be/oP8Y3OVrxY8 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>arcaneGemini:</i> Well hey, would you look at that: my first ever track with the Homestuck Fan Musicians Crew.

The scene in which Gl'bgolyb was revealed was, to me, one of the several "holy shit" moments of Homestuck, and instead of trying to depict the vastness of Feferi's lusus, I went for a sense of mystery and foreboding more closely matching the tone of the music, by revealing nothing but its tentacles in silhouette. Finding the right balance between silhouette and rendering proved one of the primary challenges of completing this piece. Too much light meant the image lost its spooky, foreboding tone; too little made it look flat. In the end I came out with something that roughly strikes that balance, though I still feel that it loses some of the spookiness of the sketch.

Scratch has always been one of my favorite characters in Homestuck. When I read through the comic for the first time I loved how he orchestrated the destruction of two entire universes but managed to give an air of dignity and style to such a nefarious event. His demeanor was never overtly evil: it was unsettling at times, sure, but he always acted the part of an excellent host through and through. I tried to represent this atmosphere in my own song. Its jazzy feel ripped from "Drawing Dead" or "The Felt" definitely brings to mind a comfortable stay in Scratch's parlor, but if you listen closely you can notice sinister undertones lurking beneath the surface through the decaying bells and whistling winds. Of course, I had to throw in some reverse piano in the mix as well. It wouldn't be a Felt-centric song without one. Towards the end of the track the piano backmasks some iconic Beta Kid motifs, showing how Scratch is acutely aware of every piece to his puzzle (even when we're not). What kind of an excellent host would he be if he didn't keep tabs on his "guests", after all? <i>Ephemerald:</i> So! The Puppet Master. The laid-back yet sinister vibe this song gives off felt fitting for Scratch, who, for most of the comic, just creepily stands and watches things happen. That's why I decided to not have Scratch do some Cool Actiony Villain Pose - he's a puppetmaster. He just needs to lounge. Yazshu took care of the Alternian planet, moons, and the cueball/sun/thing, so thanks to her for the backdrop! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Disc 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Disc 3 Directory: disc3-cosmic-caretakers Artist: psithurist @@ -597,31 +597,31 @@ Art Tags: Gamzee, Cherubs URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/disc-3-3 - https://youtu.be/Z3C-qzpXNcI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>psithurist:</i> Since Disc 3 only has a few tracks, I went for a simpler approach here, and ended up with a quirky refrain of the theme present in the other jingles. s/o to the Tetris DX soundtrack for getting jazzy chiptunes stuck in my head forever. <i>Jas:</i> Styled after old album covers that always seemed to be scraped up and have that off yellow color. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: HONK FRIEND.

Five years later, it's finally done, stitched together from the composition and/or actual audio clips of like 4 FLPs (I went through about 6, all in all). Funnily enough, the scribbles I had for this song in 2014 then are completely different composition-wise from what ended up being made, but the narrative loosely remains in this track: the cherubs' mother drifts through space, searching for her mate. She spots him, taking off at full speed, following him as he leaves a trail of destruction across the universe. Their eventual meeting is tense, cold. Saying nothing, they transform into unfathomable astral serpents, and battle to create the most innocent muse and most shitheaded gremlin to ever exist. I attribute the latter half of this track to listening to a lot of Hawaii: Part II, which is also sampled at the end. Listen to Hawaii: Part II. <b><i>Ephemerald:</i></b> The game of choice for cherubs seems to be chess, or at least, some neon-green candy-red shitty-twist variant of the game, but I'm getting real playing card motifs here. Two identical, serpentine warriors, millions and millions of miles long, locked in a symmetrical whirlwind of a strife. Reminds me of the art to [[track:noirscape]] back on Volume 9, though that's a more literal example. The spiraling, iconic egg in the middle, shining like a light in the darkness, is a very clear reminder of what these two are fighting for: the right to force their opponent to give birth to literally the worst entity in all of existence. But I suppose it didn't matter who won or who lost. After all, he was already there. -Lyrics: - Then all the planets fell to dust -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Lyrics: Then all the planets fell to dust +--- Group: Bonus tracks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: It's Ogre Artist: Circlejourney Track Art: Jas -Duration: 3:03 +Duration: '3:03' References: All Star, Eridan's Theme, I'm A Believer, Violet Prince Art Tags: Eridan, Shrek URLs: -

The blood remembers a dream of the sea, the scars in scattershot filigree.<br>See through the eyes, the eyes of the child, the old, haunted forests stretch out whispering and wild. We have cracked the heavens themselves apart,<br>And their numbers are joined with our own,<br>Against the wretched, bitter heart,<br>That sets our world ablaze with drones. The reverend mother's bones grow dolorous with vines, upon the shores of the great oceans, sometimes pale moonlight shines,<br>Twin eyes glare from the Alternian sky, where from time to time her graceless warships drift by. We will paint the firmament in flame,<br>Offer up our blood in sacrifice,<br><i>Sic semper tyrannis</i>, a baptism,<br>In the milk of paradise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Postscript (Sugar Mix) Artist: pizzagremlin Track Art: Mikkynga -Duration: 2:00 +Duration: '2:00' Art Tags: -

This is Part 1 of 4. If you like the album I encourage you to purchase it if you are able, as it helps support me and it will be that much easier to bring you more music in the future! - <hr> - I, Alex Rosetti, intend to make this a pleasurable experience for those of you looking for additional insight on the long-winded and self-absorbed music of this album. I assure you the commentary will encapsulate those qualities as well, perhaps even more so! - So, what’s this all about? - Genesis Frog is an album about the eponymous amphibian’s journey from paradox slime to universe. Specifically, it is about the frog Jade Harley attempts to breed and grow so that He may reach His pond in Skaia and fulfill His role as the next universe created by SBURB. Some themes of the album also address the Genesis Frog that Earth already inhabits, while still other themes could be applied to any Genesis Frog in paradox space. In more general terms, it is an album about Sburb’s mythology, which is both and remarkable and hilariously ridiculous in its ability to tailor fit itself into each unique session it is in. - When I first envisioned Genesis Frog, I did not imagine the album’s focus would be on a single entity from Homestuck. In fact, my first idea was to create a sort of “Homestuck Bestiary” soundtrack, giving themes to all the creatures and citizens of Sburb. The seeds of the album’s current form were planted when I decided I wanted to make a “Frogs” theme at the beginning and transform it into “Bilious Slick’s Theme” by the end of the album, thus symbolizing the overarching purpose of Sburb. I gradually fell more in love with the concept while more information on the Genesis Frog was covered in the story such as frog breeding, the Prospitians’ and Consorts’ worship of the deity, and Derse’s detestation of it. - I began to realize how important the Genesis Frog was to Homestuck’s big picture: the goal of Sburb is creation, and the main conflict in the story is preventing destruction. The most intensely cinematic End of Act as of this writing involved the assassination of two of these frogs as the result of a beautifully intricate plot and pushing the story towards its climax. One of my favorite aspects of Homestuck is its world-building (in some cases world-destroying), and I thought it would be fun to compose an album about an entity that quite literally contains its worlds. - Alright already, I get it, but what about the music? - From the very beginning I decided I wanted Genesis Frog to have its own unified sound, even back when it was “Homestuck Bestiary”. To accomplish this, I treated the album as a sort of orchestral suite, and it could certainly be referred to as such. Of course, getting a real orchestra to record this music is well beyond my means as an amateur composer, but I think the samples used in the album are high-fidelity and well-sequenced enough to be enjoyable. - There is a lot of continuity between tracks on the album, which lends itself well to the idea that it is an orchestral suite. Genesis Frog is really a singular work rather than a collection of somewhat related songs—I paid very special attention to the order of tracks and when certain recurring themes appear. The album has three main recurring musical motifs: the “Pondsquatter” theme (the main theme of the album and most frequently used), the “Divine” theme (which first shows up in Our Glorious Speaker), and the “Folklore” theme (which first shows up in Prospitian Folklore). - There are also a handful of musical devices and ostinati that find their way into various nooks and crannies that help contribute a sense of unity and are certainly fun to spot if you pay attention. I like to think all these snippets of musical material are treated the same way that repeated dialogue, situations and every other kind of callback are in Homestuck. If you recognize them you will enjoy the experience that much more, though the callbacks in the album are not that difficult to spot in my opinion, so it shouldn’t take as much effort as noticing Colonel Sassacre’s Daunting Text of Magical Frivolity and Practical Japery was heavy enough to kill a cat, and then finally doing so several thousand pages later. - While the album does deviate somewhat from the orchestral sound in a few small instances, the instrumental ensemble remains relatively constant through each track, with the exception of percussion instruments that come and go and a short appearance by an electric guitar and bass, as well some much more eccentric instruments than those. - <hr> - <b>Some final thoughts, thank you’s, and croaks of acknowledgement</b> - Wow, did I really make it through the entire commentary without typing the word “ribbit”? Those of you who know me and my love for animal-based onomatopoeia are probably as shocked as I am. Perhaps more shocking is that I composed an entire album and only included two tracks with ribbits and croaks in them. And one of them is a bonus track, it’s a new personal record of some kind! Of course you shouldn’t expect me not to put animal noises in any album I ever compose, so don’t even go there. Alright, enough of that. - I would like thank everyone who took the time to listen to Genesis Frog. The fact that I have an audience at all is something to be thankful for, and even if you didn’t enjoy it I appreciate you giving it a chance. Thank you to everyone anticipating the album for all their patience and support in the time before its release. Unfortunately I wasn’t ready to release it before the Homestuck Kickstarter happened, so it had to be delayed quite a bit. However, I believe the album is all the better for the extra time I had to work on it. Thanks to everyone on the MSPA Forums who voiced their excitement in the Homestuck music thread, or otherwise interacted with me or gave me advice of any kind. Thanks to all my Tumblr and Twitter followers for actually caring enough about what I have to say to follow me. I hope everyone who knows me or pays attention to what I do musically enjoyed this album, as well as people who were not familiar with me until now. I appreciate every single listener I have, and without you guys the only person listening to my music would be my mom and close friends, and somehow that doesn’t have the same sense of accomplishment to it. - I have two very big thanks reserved for my two artists and collaborators, Marina and Rikuru. In a lot of ways this was a joint project, and their art is just as important to the album as the music. From the beginning I decided I wanted the album to be as unified visually as it is aurally, so I tried contacting two artists who were friends with each other and were capable of drawing in a unified style together. As it turned out I could not have made a better decision. Both Marina and Rikuru have knocked every piece of track art out the park the instant I saw them. Their artistic vision matched mine perfectly, and I truly feel that each piece of art they made was a faithful visual interpretation of my music in terms of color, tone, style and pretty much anything you could think of. - The three of us tossed around ideas a lot; I looked at sketches, I explained what each piece of music was about, the feelings the music conveyed were discussed. Amazingly the two of them were able to produce all the art necessary for the album and we didn’t end up needing any outside help. One of this album’s greatest strengths is definitely its unity, and working closely Marina and Rikuru ended up with a product I think we can all be proud of. Thanks so much for all your hard work, both of you. The album is that much better thanks to your artistic visions, and I hope you had just as much fun as I did working on it. - You can find the work of the artists here: - Marina - <a href="https://sylladexter.tumblr.com/">sylladexter.tumblr.com</a><br>Rikuru - <a href="https://quipster-rikuru.tumblr.com/">quipster-rikuru.tumblr.com</a> - I would also like to thank Toby “Radiation” Fox for being a constant friend and getting this album up and running. He’s always been a source of inspiration for me whether he knows it or not, and every time he’s given his input on my music it has helped me. Kudos to him taking care of so much business on behalf on the Homestuck music team and finding talented musicians in the community to help showcase their music in addition to the “official” (pfffahahaha) team’s. - Of course I would like to make an obligatory thank you to Andrew Hussie for creating Homestuck, the entirety of which inspired this album (even the bits of it that don’t have frogs). Without his story I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to grow and interact with similar-minded musicians the way I have. And without his permission, I certainly wouldn’t have this album to show for myself. - Genesis Frog has undergone quite the journey over the last couple of years, even if the larger portion of it took place inside my head as vague bubbles of inspiration. I was finally able to compose the music I had always wanted to compose and contribute my own voice and interpretation of Homestuck to its discography. This is an immense privilege and one I will always carry in my mind as one of the most important opportunities I ever had in my life. It’s an excellent time to be making music, and I will take everything I have learned in making this album with me as I continue to compose in the future. Thank you once again for listening, and make that a double thank you if you read through this extremely long-winded commentary. - I am Alex Rosetti and I am a composer who loves video game music, whether it is listening to it, studying it, or making it.

The piece opens with a quartal chord in the harp, and after the atmosphere is established a solo clarinet introduces the main theme of the album. A portion of the orchestra comes in after that and there’s a small swell before tapering off into a cello solo. The ensemble is pretty scarce in this one due to its subdued nature. There’s not a lot going on in this track overall, but it does its job both as the prelude to Pondsquatter and the album as a whole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pondsquatter Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 5:11 +Duration: '5:11' Art Tags: - Genesis Frog URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pondsquatter - https://youtu.be/tt9EOkbyv64 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> If Genesis Frog were a game, this would play at the title screen. It is a full realization of the album’s main theme, this time with the entire orchestra in tow and plenty of thematic development. I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this track. For one thing, it is the first piece I composed for the album and its melodic material served as its main groundwork, so it’s really important in that respect. But at the same time I had the least experience while initially composing it as compared the album’s other tracks, so I had to spend a lot of extra time fine-tuning it and developing it more (the original was barely under two minutes long). Still, considering the amount of work I had to put into it, it was one of the more rewarding tracks to work on. The combination of Prelude and Pondsquatter to open the album with is something I thought about a lot, and in many ways they are one piece split into two parts. Consider this Movement II. Pondsquatter flows right out of Prelude and gradually adds to the orchestration. After a brief celesta interlude, the theme gets going in full. This piece has a sense of emerging, particularly out of the empty space of Prelude. There are plenty of woodwind trills and harp runs; I wanted them to feel like they were bursting out of the texture, and the openness of the quartal harmonies was eventually replaced by more triadic chords. Quartal chords retain some significance through the album, however, though they are certainly not prominent. I aimed to make the climax of this piece very satisfying, with the gong practically screaming “we’ve arrived!” but I was afraid of having too much of a sense of finality so I didn’t give the piece a proper ending. Instead it goes straight into the next track without only a hint at a cadence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Our Glorious Speaker Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 5:10 +Duration: '5:10' References: Pondsquatter, Sarabande Art Tags: - Carapacians @@ -87,26 +191,26 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/our-glorious-speaker - https://youtu.be/Xqf92y6W48M -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Much like Pondsquatter, the concept for this piece was conceived very early on in the album’s life before it became Genesis Frog. It was supposed to be a theme for the Prospitians, and it still mostly is, but now the piece focuses more on their devotion to the Speaker than the citizens themselves. The chess-people of Prospit are referenced a few times in Homestuck as worshipping the Genesis Frog, and it is through perusing their lore in various updates (mostly Seer: Descend) that I got inspiration for several tracks on the album, including this one. The music was representing devotion, so I wanted it to have the warmest, most tranquil tone it could. There are two chorale-like sections, the first being the passage the strings play in the beginning, and then later in the brass when the rest of the orchestra drops out for a while. The style of this piece was inspired by Taku Iwasaki’s scores, which often feature very beautiful and lush string textures. I actually don’t think I captured that very well, and in fact strayed from that idea as the piece went on. But the core of the inspiration remains and I think one can tell if they are familiar with his style. Of note is the last third of the piece which is a self-indulgent, overly-romanticized arrangement of Erik Scheele’s Sarabande. It’s such a beautiful piece and I knew from the day I started working on this that I wanted to include it, no matter how schmaltzy I made it sound. Give me a break, it was fun, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Prospitian Folklore Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 3:38 +Duration: '3:38' References: Pondsquatter Art Tags: - Carapacians URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/prospitian-folklore - https://youtu.be/QLEJynNmhpM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> “Though we adore Him we shall never enjoy His beauteous Croak. We spill our blood on acres of black and white so they may cross the yellow yard. At last in Skaia’s reflection through broken glass He may find the pond in which He’s meant to squat.” – Book in Prospit Library (from Seer: Descend) This piece is a musical retelling of the above passage. If you read it while listening to the music, the tone should match for the most part (as long as you are reading very, very slowly). This track’s melody appears several more times throughout the album, and represents the “folk tale” and more legendary aspects of the Genesis Frog as seen through His followers. Because of this I tried to make it sound like a genuine folk tune, and ended up with something vaguely resembling a tune out of Eastern Europe. It’s a melancholic sort of melody, which suits the grim tone of the text it is based on. It is passed through several instruments: first a solo oboe, then the violins, a soprano recorder, and a trumpet. After the main section is over, the piece shifts into a short woodwind chorale, and then into what I can only call a cadenza made up of tense suspended figures in the strings with an out-of-meter pulse underneath. I kind of wrote this last section accidentally, since it somehow started flowing out of the chorale and I just went with it. It seemed to have an air of urgency and importance to me, so I kept it in to represent “Skaia’s reflection through broken glass”, which is such a fascinating image. Broken glass has been a recurring motif in Homestuck and seems to hold important consequences every time it occurs, and the text implies it will be significant in the Genesis Frog’s final destination. So the atmosphere of this final section felt significant and fitting to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Consorts' Intermezzo Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 0:28 @@ -122,16 +226,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/consorts-intermezzo - https://youtu.be/kV5rl3XTgAE -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Part 2 covers all the Consort themes! <hr> After the introductory tracks are over, the album shifts gear and an intermission of sorts is instigated by the Consorts, who love the Genesis Frog very much and worship Him the same as the Prospitians do. I decided it would both be fun and shake things up if I composed a theme for each group of Consorts we meet on the kids' four planets during their Sburb session. Represented are the Crocodiles of LOHAC, the Turtles of LOLAR, the Salamanders of LOWAS, and the Iguanas of LOFAF. Some are more characterized than others, but I made do and crafted a unique theme for each of them. The character of the music during this section is a bit different than the rest of the album due to the inherent silliness of the creatures it is representing. The Consorts are all also, for lack of a better word, dumb. The music reflects that too. This intermezzo transitions from the serious tone of the first section of the album into the absurd rom that is about to follow. The idea of including two intermezzos in this album came from the Actraiser Symphonic Suite, a collection of orchestrations from the SNES game Actraiser that used this classic "in between" sort of music as a way to reiterate a recurring theme. I use these little movements in a slightly different manner, but the spirit is the same. Musically, this is a simple interlude that states all the Consort themes that are to come in a solo viola accompanied by pizzicato strings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Buy NAK Sell DOOF Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 3:50 +Duration: '3:50' References: - track:atomyk-ebonpyre Directory: buy-NAK-sell-DOOF @@ -146,7 +250,7 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/buy-nak-sell-doof - https://youtu.be/ar66fitxQRs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Where do I even start? This is one of my favorite tracks that I’ve made, and by that I mean to say I’m really amused I was able to come up with this in the first place. It originally wasn’t part of this album at all—it was supposed to be a short jingle for the LOHAC Stock Exchange! But it was too much fun to let go of and soon it morphed into a full-fledged character theme for everyone’s beloved, excitable consorts. The general idea behind the music was this: Jit may have made a silly arrangement of Atomyk Ebonpyre, but what could I do to put it in an even more ridiculous context? And so it was that it became the manic violin and xylophone old-timey television music-inspired (this was my only frame of reference for what I thought stock exchange music should sound like) tune that it is now. And wouldn’t you know it, this type of music turned out to fit the personality of the Crocodiles like a crocodile-fitted glove. In terms of pacing, I thought it was crucial to place this as the first Consort track. The first four tracks of the album all range from relatively slow to moderately less slow, so I really needed something to break out. This is the most energetic and fast-paced of the four Consort themes, so for my money it was the best choice to introduce this section of the album and keep interest instead of having too many low-energy tracks in a row. However, this isn’t to say I was able to resist the temptation to put a slow middle section into this piece, which provides a little break from all the pandemonium. But more importantly, it set the stage for an incredibly silly idea I had to record a bunch of people nakking like maniacs to sound like the Crocodiles, and then have that gradually crescendo into the last section of the piece. @@ -162,52 +266,52 @@ Commentary: - Ben Sharrin - Max Wright - Katie Caldwell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pink Shells Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 3:22 +Duration: '3:22' References: Pondsquatter Art Tags: - Consorts URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pink-shells - https://youtu.be/CReFCSa8SFc -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This was a difficult one to compose. The Turtles in Homestuck haven’t been given much characterization other than the ones quaking in fear of Rose, and even then that characteristic is basically the extent of it. I wondered if it was even worth writing a theme for them, since their importance to the story is minimal; what kind of music would I compose for them, anyway? But in the end I decided if I was going to do a set of Consort pieces I was going to do it right and that meant composing the whole package. There was going to be a cycle of fun, lighthearted pieces on this album regardless of characterization or story relevance. Unfortunately, by the time I decided this I had absolutely no musical ideas. I knew I wanted to give the piece a sort of awkward, wooden sound, so I had a pretty good idea of what timbres I needed (wood blocks, marimba, bassoons, etc.). Then I decided to just outright make it as quirky as possible and added a contrabassoon, even giving it the melody at one point, because hey, I might as well have fun with a track where I’m making up 90% of a character interpretation. Violin was included to fit the theme of the Consorts’ music matching their kids’ instruments. I eventually settled on a tired-sounding little melody, and while it is appropriate it’s the not my favorite one I’ve ever written. You can probably tell too, since it never seems to go anywhere, and when it finally sounds like it is it drops out and a different variation starts playing. The middle section is a very loosely based on the Pondsquatter theme, and the high register marimba interjection makes it obvious in case you didn’t pick up on it in the first five notes. This eventually leads back into the main melody of the piece, and a couple sequences later it ends. I wonder how much it shows that I was really short on ideas for this piece. Any time it was playing up the comedy in timing or shifting feel, it felt more like I had no idea what to do and desperately stuck something in so the piece could move on. Maybe I’m being hard on it; I still think it is enjoyable to listen to. But from a compositional standpoint, it is probably the weakest on the album. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Entrance of the Salamanders Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 2:56 +Duration: '2:56' References: Our Glorious Speaker Art Tags: - Consorts URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/entrance-of-the-salamanders - https://youtu.be/kU55FMWbmaQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This piece picks up where Buy NAK Sell DOOF left off, meaning it goes right back into a silly, dimwitted march. This time however, we are joined by John’s signature instrument, the electric organ! I also put some piano in there I guess, but baby, it is all about that organ. Maybe it gives it a bit too much of a “baseball flavor” but that’s okay, the Salamanders are sporting folks. Right off the “bat”, you will notice the opening ostinato bears a strong resemblance to Danny Elfman tomfoolery, which is entirely coincidental; not that I have any problems with Danny Elfman tomfoolery, in fact I enjoy it very much. Like the Crocodiles, the Salamanders have gotten plenty of characterization in Homestuck, so it was pretty easy to write their theme. They actually have a lot in common with the Crocodiles (mostly that they are enthusiastically unintelligent), which is why I decided to give them the same kind of style. There is a primary theme and a secondary theme, and they are both developed throughout the course of the piece. I realize this is an incredibly simple and non-specific description, but it is a very straightforward piece in that regard, and I don’t know what else to say about it. The first theme is a bouncy little tune, and the second theme is more legato and chromatic, and they fit together in various ways when they interact with each other. I sort of envisioned this composition as a dual piano/organ concerto in terms of how I treated the instruments. Both are featured over the orchestra, and play off it with plenty of silly textures and orchestrations. Stylistically, the oom-pah marching characteristics combined with the instrumentation may call to mind images of a circus, which is in fact how the piece got its name. It’s kind of a veiled reference, but if you know what the title is referring to then it’s easy to figure out why it resembles circus music. And of course in the spirit of things, for one last antic I finished it off with a slide whistle; an instrument I thought represented the salamanders’ bubbles pretty well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Thip of the Tongue Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 4:09 +Duration: '4:09' References: Stoke the Forge Art Tags: - Consorts URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/thip-of-the-tongue - https://youtu.be/AFPBfMdqKEU -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> If you asked me what title on this album I am most proud of coming up with, it would be this one. Ever since the Iguanas were introduced I was terrified someone was going to use this pun before I had a chance to put it out in an official capacity. I wanted to be the thip king, and despite being nervous about it for almost two years no one usurped my throne. Even as of this writing, searching for that exact phrase on the internet will yield no results. Obviously if you are reading this, that is no longer true. But I digress. As for the piece itself, I decided to separate it into two very distinct sections. The first depicts the Iguanas’ life in the Land of Frost and Frogs before Jade stokes the Forge (which, incidentally, is the name of a later track which takes this concept even further); the second part depicts their life after the frost has melted away. Due to this structure, the first third of the piece is subdued and establishes a calm atmosphere with the strings and woodwinds, with not a single brass instrument to be found. The opening motive that continues to be used throughout the piece is an almost exact repetition of the Salamanders’ main motive. All the Consort tracks are connected, but these two take it to the next level by building this piece’s base off the main material of the last. The second part is where things get interesting. It is the only section of the album where I drop the orchestra shtick completely and use an ensemble of recorders, crumhorns, pipes, and an unconventional rhythm section featuring a dulcimer. I thought about what kind of music the Iguanas would make if given the opportunity. I figured they would have a lot of primitive instruments at hand and would produce simple, joyous music. This whole section is unabashedly a tribute to Kumi Tanioka’s work in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. It’s a sort of re-imagining of this world of ancient instruments that she created, and it was one of my earliest influences. There are also seeds of Yasunori Mitsuda in here; it is such a fun piece that I don’t mind citing very strong influences here if people want to hear similar music to this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Frogs' Intermezzo Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 0:14 @@ -219,16 +323,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/frogs-intermezzo - https://youtu.be/lDGQ_3qgByU -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This covers the Frog act of the album.

Every track from here on out details the journey undertaken to create the Genesis Frog, as well as its ultimate fate. From the ectobiological breeding (Breeding Duties), to the unfreezing of the Land of Frost and Frogs (Stoke the Forge), to the hunt for frogs (Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009), to the mysteries and certain doom hiding in the frog temple (The Temple’s Withered Bloom), and finally to the destruction of the universe (Bilious), a story is told through music. As a conclusion, we bear witness to the fate the Genesis Frog is meant to fulfill: finding His pond in Skaia (Speaker), and signifying the creation of a new universe (The Vast Croak). This intermezzo changes the tone from the lighthearted Consort music to something more full of wonder to suit the story to come. It is a simple swell based on the Pondsquatter theme, and once it settles down, the texture becomes very sparse so as to lead into Breeding Duties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Breeding Duties Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 5:09 +Duration: '5:09' References: Pondsquatter, Prospitian Folklore Art Tags: - Jade @@ -236,30 +340,30 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/breeding-duties - https://youtu.be/-BPCS9eHWFg -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> <code style="color: #008141">GA: But Regardless I Think Our Roles Are Approximately The Same Since We Are Both Stokers Of The Forge<br>GA: As Well As Holders Of Breeding Duties<br>GA: However I Should Clarify That My Earlier Counsel Was Mostly Academic<br>GA: It Takes Weeks To Do All Of It Properly<br>GA: You Wont Have Time</code><br><code style="color: #4ac925">GG: breeding duties?????</code> This entire piece was inspired by Kanaya’s awkward phrasing. It’s a great line, and Jade’s dumbfounded reaction is even better. Naturally I wanted this to be an awkward-sounding piece, so in the beginning there is plenty of pizzicato strings, strange pauses and the like. Of course, more thought went into the mood than that; Jade has a small association with witches, even if it is only in title and costume. The idea that she is the Witch of Space and is dabbling in ectobiology with frogs put a lot of images in my mind, the most obvious connection being a witch’s cauldron. How would this type of music sound, exactly? Eventually I settled on the sort of faux-baroque feel mixed in with plenty of silliness, since this is a piece about Jade and frogs, after all. The orchestration is full of fast-decaying timbres like the aforementioned pizzicato and liberal use of harpsichord. I also included celesta since it adds a sort of whimsy to the piece, and it has the added bonus of calling back to the beginning of the album. The main motive is a very baroque sort of device, and I used it that way a little, though I mostly put it in ridiculous contexts. The opening is very stately and lively; what a way to open the last third of the album! But after the first phrase it immediately drops out into a very spacious world, and it is during this section that I explore a variety of colors while playing with the motivic material. Then I prove how short my attention span is because the music goes a lot of places fast after that. First it takes a sweet tone with a celesta melody, and then feels majestic with a lyrical cello line and a call in the horns. If you were to think about this piece programmatically, then that might be the moment when Jade finally successfully breeds the frog with the right genes. In which case the rest of the piece is about hundreds of frogs hopping around or something, which is an explanation I like, but will not officially state since I wasn’t actually thinking much about a story when composing this. But still, I did have a lot of scenes brewing in my head with this one, so I think it is totally appropriate to imagine a story going along with it. Anyway, the majestic section cuts off for a few seconds, then a booming section based on the opening stumbles in and leaves as fast as it entered. From that point on the material from Pondsquatter comes in and is given the same feel as the rest of this piece, and if there was any one word I had to describe this last section with it would be, “shenanigans”. Incidentally, I consider this and Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009 to be the heart of the album. There will be more on that later in the commentary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Stoke the Forge References: Prospitian Folklore Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 3:43 +Duration: '3:43' Art Tags: - Frogs URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/stoke-the-forge - https://youtu.be/6jLZLPJE_Qc -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Why did I compose this piece? Well, mainly because I wanted something bombastic to use an anvil as percussion in. But I also wrote it because of its importance in the role of each Space player’s planet and their frog breeding duties. Not only that, but it acts as a transition from the darker Breeding Duties to the lighter, more energetic Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009. More specifically, it extends the idea behind Thip of the Tongue to three tracks instead of one; it is a progression from the planet’s frosty beginnings to a sudden and beautiful spring, and this piece heralds that moment. In any case, I ended up with a pretty fun piece that may not be the most impressive on the album, but it definitely serves a purpose and keeps the flow intact. The piece opens with a brass fanfare based off the Folklore theme interspersed with anvil and bass drum hits. The decision to feature the anvil came from Dave’s denizen, Hephaestus, who is referred to as “Lord of the Forge” with little explanation other than he desired access to Jade’s Forge to repair the Caledfwlch. In fact, the entire piece has the feeling of hammering, since harsh gestures in the brass and strings are common in combination with liberal usage of timpani and bass drum. The entire piece is in Dorian, which is a mode I can rarely resist composing in, and it lends a big sense of adventure to it. Formally there is not a lot going on, other than a melody being repeated several times with different orchestration and transposition. An interesting moment occurs when the entire ensemble drops out and a flute solo comes in playing a lighter, more humorous version of the tune before heading towards the climax. All in all, it is a pretty standard theme with a solid tune despite the fact that nothing extraordinary happens for its duration. But hey, we wouldn’t want overkill would we? I was saving that for the next track. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009 Track Art: Sylladexter -Duration: 4:55 +Duration: '4:55' References: Pondsquatter, Our Glorious Speaker Art Tags: - Jade @@ -267,16 +371,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/great-lofaf-expedition-of-2009 - https://youtu.be/J161hcxSTkg -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Ah, frog-hunting music. I had the idea for this track brewing long before Homestuck Volume 8 was in the works, so you can imagine my horror when not one, but two tracks with this subject were on it. I have to give props to Jit and Bowman, those are a couple of great pieces and they both explore the idea in unique ways. I lamented however, worrying my track would be extraneous. How many times could we repeat the same, specific idea, after all? So I had to think outside the box a little bit. I would try to capture the entire experience of not just the hunt, but exploring LOFAF after the Forge had been stoked. This piece is programmatic in the same sense Breeding Duties is—it is meant to be a collection of musical ideas depicting any number of scenes the listener might imagine. Which isn’t to say the music isn’t thematically grounded; it is essentially based on one theme in addition to the Pondsquatter theme, which also has a large presence. Earlier in the commentary for Breeding Duties, I referred to that and this track as being the heart of this album. It may sound hokey, but when I think of Genesis Frog I think of these two tracks. I think they exemplify the kind of music I’ve had in my head for two years and wanted to compose most. When I first thought of them, I knew Genesis Frog as an album would work, this was the kind of music I had always wanted to listen to but no one had quite made yet. This isn’t to say it’s anything new or innovative; merely that it is a specific sound I love that I wanted to hear. I think the album experience is purest during these two tracks, as ridiculous or pretentious as that may sound, but I don’t know how else to say it. Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009 is made up of so many of my favorite things to do in orchestral music, so for better or worse you can use this as a roadmap for my compositional output and ridicule me as I become more and more of a slave to my own style. It opens with a solo horn call to signify the beginning of the hunt. Normally these sorts of calls are based around perfect fifths, but I totally broke the rules like the rebel I am and used it as a way to introduce the main theme. After that, the piece is split into three sections, the first being a march featuring a piccolo playing a variation on the Pondsquatter theme. The orchestration gradually fills in, and an ostinato is introduced in the xylophone and santoor (a string instrument native to India) that is used throughout the piece. After the march, we dive into the undergrowth, represented by the next section. The music makes a shift into 7/8, though no true pulse is really established. As a result, many different lines of counterpoint come in at disjointed intervals, lending to the image of a lot of different frogs hopping around in the depths of the forest. The pace picks up again when the music shifts back to simple meter and the march rhythm is brought back. There is more counterpoint here with the main motive of the piece; it is overlayed with itself in several different rhythmic rhythmic transpositions over the march ostinato. Then, after a brief interlude, the piece shifts back into 7/8 with more of a pulse, and the Pondsquatter theme is repeated in full followed by a coda based on this piece’s motive. This is one of the few pieces on the album that ends on an unambiguous tonic chord, which I thought was very refreshing at this point. Especially in light of this piece, which I promised would be overkill thanks to all the ridiculous directions it manages to go in for its duration of five minutes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Temple's Withered Bloom Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 2:55 +Duration: '2:55' Art Tags: - WV - PM @@ -285,15 +389,15 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/the-temples-withered-bloom - https://youtu.be/wq6cPhclEsk -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This is an interesting one, since it has probably undergone the most change in terms of concept and musical ideas before I finally composed it in earnest. It started out as a general Frog Temple theme, and all along I had the idea to explore sweeping chords in the strings and choir, which I did end up doing, albeit in a very different fashion than I expected. I tossed around the idea of including material from Jit’s Ruins, then I thought about adapting an old wind ensemble piece of mine. Conceptually I switched from the idea of the Frog Temple to the hieroglyphics inside, tentatively naming it “Temple Walls”, then “Glyphs”. What ended up happening was that I ended up composing this and the next track as one whole, and then split them into two, so in a lot of ways the two of them combined could be considered a single piece. In fact, I would venture to say the last four tracks on the album could be considered four connected movements among the greater whole, since I added more continuity between them than any previous tracks on the album. Because of the connection to the last track, which is heavily about Jack Noir, I decided to have this music represent the Lotus Time Capsule he went through during Cascade. The lotus being in the frog temple was very convenient for me since I got to keep that idea without straying too much from the theme of the album. So this track ended up being the calm before the storm as it were, representing the menace hiding inside the temple for centuries before coming out to wreak havoc. The piece opens with a major chord in the strings, as if to continue the train of thought left behind by the previous track’s end. However, the chord quickly changes into something more dissonant, and the tone shifts from light to dark. The choir answers the strings, and the piece progresses in this manner with the two sections being featured the most. A gamelan ensemble plays in the background, very out of tune with the rest of the ensemble, lending to the sense of foreboding. There is a musical device in here that represents Jack, a descending line that implies a tritone. It comes in quietly and at irregular intervals, indicative of the murderous asshole lying in wait among the confines of the temple. As the music progresses, this motive comes in more and more until it is an ostinato under the chordal strings and choir. Eventually the piece crescendos and leads into the next track, where Jack is finally the star of the show. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Bilious Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 4:05 +Duration: '4:05' References: - Prospitian Folklore - Liquid Negrocity @@ -304,30 +408,30 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/bilious - https://youtu.be/wyh3pBZZsaA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Poor Bilious Slick. Every iteration of Him we’ve seen in Homestuck has been brutally murdered in one way or another. As if that wasn’t enough, He is primarily known by the spiteful nickname Dersites have given Him. In composing this album, I would have missed a big opportunity if I didn’t take material from those in Derse that oppose creation, most specifically Jack Noir. The title of course came from the name Bilious Slick, but it also has the benefit of adding grotesque imagery to a piece of music about Jack slaughtering a giant universe frog. It is a continuation of The Temple’s Withered Bloom, and it picks up where it left off with Jack exiting the Lotus Capsule, escaping the session and eventually going on to destroy the universe he emerged from. The piece opens right away in 10/8, and an electric guitar, bass, and drum set are added to the ensemble. I decided that among the pastoral and bouncy, lighthearted pieces in this album, there was no single track that felt like a hook to me. I wanted to attempt to compose something that just plain kicks ass, some climactic piece that could act as a reward for listening through the relatively calm album. Naturally I came to the decision to include guitar and drums and let more rock influence come through. The theme is based on the Folklore theme, which I thought was appropriate and somewhat ironic, since what represented creation before was now being used to represent destruction. The guitar takes over the melody as the meter goes through several changes, and after several consecutive contrasting sections that play with different motives, the guitar once again begins the next section by establishing a triplet ostinato. At this point I figured, what the hell, I’ll quote Black. It actually fits quite well with the “Jack” device from The Temple’s Withered Bloom that I bring back here, thanks to the fact that they both emphasise on the tritone. My own Jack motive begins to take over from Radiation’s, and eventually the strings are playing it in canon as it gets more and more chaotic, until everything drops out and the lower piano register begins an ostinato based on it. The orchestra builds again into more chaotic textures, the tension drops briefly, and then the theme is recapped as the climax. All in all it is probably the most exciting piece on the album, and for my first foray into more action-like music, I think it does its job well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Speaker (Skaia's Reflection) Track Art: Sylladexter, Rikuru -Duration: 2:57 +Duration: '2:57' References: Pondsquatter Art Tags: - Genesis Frog URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/speaker-skaias-reflection - https://youtu.be/zKpqOvFTvLA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Out of destruction comes nothingness, and the only sounds are sparse and atmospheric. The nothingness persists for a bit, a result of the universe’s destruction in the previous track. If I were feeling really dark I could just end the album there, but I wanted there to be a sense of conclusion and returning to what once was. What better way than to have the music rise from the ashes and the solo clarinet come back to play a new version of the Pondsquatter theme? The idea behind the countless Genesis Frogs is that they propagate one another, each frog producing the next, and behind this lies the idea of infinity and repeated processes. So I wanted the album to do a Mobius Double Reacharound as it were, and end as it began. So the pairing of Speaker and The Vast Croak echoes the earlier pairing of Prelude and Pondsquatter. This piece even has the same structure and general idea as Prelude before going into a full statement of the modified theme. As a result it is difficult to talk about its composition, since it is virtually the same as Prelude only with varying material. The clarinet emerges out of the atmosphere just as before, and a texture-based section builds this time not into a false climax, but into a fuller orchestration of what the clarinet was doing earlier. It ends simply and quietly in the woodwinds, allowing the next and final track to proceed with its exciting start. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Vast Croak Track Art: Rikuru -Duration: 5:08 +Duration: '5:08' References: - Pondsquatter - Prospitian Folklore @@ -338,22 +442,22 @@ References: - Frogs' Intermezzo Art Tags: - Genesis Frog -- cw: body horror (abstract) +- 'cw: body horror (abstract)' URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/the-vast-croak - https://youtu.be/gW0CGMh6CNg -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> After six notes from the drumset, the grand finale begins. I still don’t have a clear idea what prompted this sort of conclusion to the album. For the longest time I intended to end it the way Speaker did, and that track indeed had a finality of its own. But I wanted something exciting at the end, and I felt like there was still momentum left over from Bilious that I could do something with. So despite only having a vague idea of what the Vast Croak probably was at the time of this composing it, I ran with my assumptions and based the album’s last hurrah around that idea. What little information existed implied the Genesis Frog will Croak once He has matured, and I can only assume it signifies the birth of the new universe in some way. I hope my interpretation does not end up conflicting with canon, and even if it does with any luck the music will still match the tone of it and my thoughts will remain hidden in this commentary. Kanaya described the Vast Croak as the most amazing thing she had ever seen. I doubt anything I compose could possibly match the scope of such a cosmic event, but I at least attempted to capture the excitement of such a thing happening. When one thinks of the Vast Croak being put to music I’m sure bombastic orchestrations come to mind, like bass drum hits and gongs swelling, the brass going wild. Maybe that would have been the right direction to go in. Of all the tracks on this album this one probably puzzles me the most, since I’m not sure exactly why I decided to go in the direction I did musically. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people think it isn’t appropriate for its namesake, and maybe someone else could compose something more suitable at some point. All I can say is that I wanted to capture the excitement of the moment and create something that felt like joy spilling forth. I wanted the music to have a big sense of happiness and accomplishment, a feeling of “yeah, we did it!” Even if it did not capture the feeling of the Vast Croak in as literal a sense as it could have, the music has the kind of feeling I imagine players would have upon reaching this final, monumental goal. That is my defense, and I am sticking by it. The sense of excitement is what prompted me to bring the drumset back. I thought the piece needed a percussive drive like Bilious had, so I employed the same method. And hell, if I’m going to bring drumset into an orchestral setting then I might as well do it a second time. The Dorian version of the Pondsquatter theme played by the horns and trombones is reminiscent of its use in Prospitian Folklore. In fact, the second phrase appears exactly as it did in that piece and after repeating it goes straight into the Folklore theme. At this point in the music I thought it was appropriate to quote some of the themes from earlier in the album as a sort of “B” section. I mixed together all the Consort themes once the Folklore theme ended and snuck in a little bit of Breeding Duties. I liked the idea of bringing all these themes back, since presumably all of them would have a role once again in the new universe being created. The A section then returns in a transposed form before the piece ends in a very big fashion. When all appears to be said and done and the very last of the reverberation is dying off, the harp comes in. It is followed by clarinet, piano, celesta, and finally the violins playing harmonics; this is the instrumentation the album opened with. This small ensemble plays a subdued arrangement of Pondsquatter, and the album ends as it began in the vastness of paradox space. If you start the album over again, you will find that it flows seamlessly from the ending to beginning. Somewhere in this revelation lies my ultimate artistic intent with Genesis Frog, which probably involves something about infinity’s endless repetition, or life always finding a way forward, or something along those lines depending on how pretentious you want to think of me as. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Bonus tracks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pondsquatter (Live Chamber Version) Track Art: none -Duration: 6:02 +Duration: '6:02' References: - Prelude - Pondsquatter @@ -362,19 +466,19 @@ References: - Breeding Duties URLs: - https://youtu.be/l07w1i-C7hs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This is the last of the commentary for Genesis Frog. It seems the hype wave has died down since its release by now. I hope people are still enjoying it and continuing to discover little nuances I hid in the music. Thanks so much everyone. <hr> During my Junior year of college, I had the opportunity to have one of my pieces read by the acclaimed Talea Ensemble, a chamber group that was visiting my college and doing a performance there. They graciously offered to read through student works and provide commentary for us. I took advantage of this in an odd way and arranged Pondsquatter for Pierrot Ensemble, an instrumentation that consists of piano, violin, cello, flute, clarinet, and in some cases percussion. This recording was made during a runthrough they did of it, and what you should keep in mind is that this was all sightread. Obviously the performance is not perfect, and I’m slightly afraid of sharing this in case I embarrass the ensemble with it, but I can guarantee that had they prepared it beforehand, it would have been perfect. However, even without prior preparation, the performance is astounding and I thank them dearly. In case you are reading this online and are unable to buy the album to obtain this bonus track, you can find it on both my website and my music blog, the URLs of which are provided at the end of this commentary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Frogsong Track Art: none -Duration: 2:24 +Duration: '2:24' References: Pondsquatter, weird moody horse shit URLs: - https://youtu.be/xINZv3-S6xU -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This was originally going to be in the album, but I excluded it because it didn’t fit enough with the orchestral feel and I didn’t really know where to go with it after the first minute.

I LOVE the mood of the transistor soundtrack and you might notice this drum beat and title are a very obvious nod to the song "Old Friends" (though someone else named it, years ago) I was specifically instructed "make it sound like this song" but since then I have worked to make it sound like more my own thing. you can see the influence of that soundtrack on all my work, though. the slow driving half-time beat. the airy reverb on chordal tones. the dirty bass. originally meant as a placeholder i never got over how the beat drops the backbeat on every other 4.

If you don’t know what happened, up until half-way through Act 4 a guy called Bill Bolin was on the time, one of the original members. He was a great musician, that much can’t be denied; he wrote a lot of tracks that appeared in early act 3; Jade’s bass solo, the remix of it, the last part of the Dave and Bro battle… some others I forget. During that flash with Dave and Rose on Derse the original music was five Bolin tracks, ones he wasn’t all that happy with. He flipped out and did a lot of things that ended up with him dropped from the team, and his music replaced. I called replacing Jade’s bass solo (I was enthusiastic about getting something of mine into the comic). We figured there’d probably be an existing piece of music used for the remix on Prospit so there were a couple of different versions remixing different tracks until Something Really Excellent was locked in. We were on a strict timetable at the time, so I didn’t get the chance to find a really good bass voice or find a good rhythm. That was much improved for the actual release in Volumes 1-4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Showtime Remix Directory: showtime-remix-vol-1-4 AKA: track:showtime-remix Artist: Gabe Nezovic -Duration: 2:02 +Duration: '2:02' References: - track:showtime-piano-refrain Samples: @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ Samples: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-remix-3 - https://youtu.be/ENWA9aNEkXk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Aggrieve Remix Directory: aggrieve-remix-vol-1-4 AKA: track:aggrieve-remix @@ -193,11 +193,11 @@ References: - track:aggrieve-violin-refrain Samples: - track:aggrieve-violin-refrain -Duration: 2:11 +Duration: '2:11' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/aggrieve-remix-3 - https://youtu.be/KilKZfggMOU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Verdancy (Bassline) Directory: verdancy-bassline-vol-1-4 AKA: track:verdancy-bassline @@ -206,10 +206,10 @@ Duration: 0:52 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/verdancy-bassline-3 - https://youtu.be/Hhwop2K7zt0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Potential Verdancy Artist: Robert J!

This has undoubtedly been the busiest year (or two) of my life, and I am only now returning to reacquaint myself with what the heck is up. Malcolm wrote the chiptune version of Showtime first. I heard it, dug it, and created a piano arrangement just for the hell of it. Like Malcolm has said - earlier on, we didn't necessarily know what we were writing for, so we just wrote whatever spoke to us. I had posted a "Work in progress" version to the music boards, and I received some positive feedback. Positive enough for me to elaborate it into a full piece. As luck would have it, Andrew was finishing up the first playable page of Homestuck just as I posted the full version. As such, I was lucky enough to have the honour of first musical appearance in Homestuck, but most of the credit should certainly go to Malcolm - for defining John musically at such an early stage of the game, and for being the sole inspiration behind this track. Oh, side note: My midi keyboard was misbehaving when I wrote this, so every note of the piece was clicked into a sequencer.

Since it was still early on in the comic, I decided to do it in an 8-bit style, and I figured that I could make remixes of it later if harlequins still turned out to be important in the comic. It turns out I didn't have to very much, since a lot of the other music team ended up remixing it!

Difficult to fully recall what was going on with this one, but from what we knew about John at this point (i.e. Bit of a prankster, likes his movies) there was something about the name and the melody that just fit. Early on in HS Music dev, Andrew would basically announce "Need boss music for upcoming battle: go!" and we'd all whip up some music and present it. These days that doesn't happen any more (larger team, ludicrous amount of already made-but-not-used music) but back then it was a fresh slate. I personally whipped up 3 30-second 'Looping boss battle music in the style of NES chiptunes' as per the original request. (I think it was Andrew's idea to start things off chiptune style and we've been evolving since) The other 2 unused tracks (Which I still have somewhere) were ok - One was very piratey but quite sinister, the other was incredibly evil sounding, but Showtime had that initial-boss 'fun-ness' to it and apparantly just hit all the right notes. The melody itself is very simple: It's just a square wave doing some broken chords. For the album version we were told to add some bits to the loopable tracks to make 'em 2 minutes long and have a proper ending, so the album features an intro and second part with a little solo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Sburban Jungle (Brief Mix) Artist: Michael Guy Bowman -Duration: 1:36 +Duration: '1:36' References: - track:sburban-jungle Samples: - track:sburban-jungle URLs: - https://youtu.be/DKmXadfEnog -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Aggrieve (Violin Refrain) Artist: Andrew Huo Contributors: Gabe Nezovic (mastering) -Duration: 1:34 +Duration: '1:34' References: - track:aggrieve URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/aggrieve-violin-refrain-3 - https://youtu.be/h46wSFVeWAs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Andrew Huo:</i> Ahh, the glory days, when we had no idea we were going on a universe-destroying/creating adventure, or even a world-destroying one. This was when the music team's main scoop on the kids was that they were going to have theme instruments that somehow function as their weapons or special abilities as well, although I guess this has only mostly come to fruition with Dave's turntables. Well, I'm primarily a violinist, and Rose's instrument was to be violin/strings, so this was right up my alley. I love just randomly improvising on the violin, exploring different poetic areas, if you will, and coming up with things that sounded beautiful to me. At this time in particular, I was doing that a lot. Hadley's Aggrieve was created first in this case, and I had roughly dictated it, so I knew the notes. I fooled around with it a couple of times, playing with a haunting/sad-but-hopeful tone, and the arrangement that you hear was recorded literally the first time it was played - the first time those notes were played in that rhythm, tone and order was the same time it was recorded. That version, cut, is what you hear in the comic. I reverse-engineered the sheet music from my own recording to do a recording for the album. Unfortunately, I was, and I suppose am still today, new to the recording game, and so there are mistakes I cringe at in both the comic and album versions. Gabe Nezovic's mastering helps to cover most of it, but I still feel kind of guilty about it. Oh well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Sburban Countdown Artist: Mark Hadley Duration: 0:38 @@ -78,56 +78,56 @@ References: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-countdown-3 - https://youtu.be/C3cvihYafCs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Mark Hadley:</i> I really liked Sburban Jungle and felt it was iconic enough to be considered a theme song for Sburb (not just the loading screen as it was originally presented).

I think, at least if not Jade then certainly something about Dreams (Which a lot of the story was turning into via the Prospit/Derse stuff). It was prevalent that a lot of Jade's character was coming from vague aloofness, yet a degree of precognition via dreaming that would prove central to the character and the concept of Sburb. Thus, it's a playful kind of dream-like melody. A little scatterbrained a quite unusual (Namely due to the time signature which is something like 6/4). I came up with the melody years ago, and it's mostly just playing about on the sharp/flat keys on a keyboard. I generally don't like incorporating it too much because the chord progression sounds a <i>bit</i> too close to Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" (Which was released way after I originally came up with the melody for BoA, but is infinitely more popular) Despite being used in 'The Flash Where Nothing Happens' and also being quite long, it's still one of my closet favourite tracks.

The only thing I can really remember was that Super Smash Bros Brawl came out right before I finished it.

Though it never seems to come out exactly as I plan it, I enjoyed the results. I will say that I cannot truly believe how many people have remixed it. The arpeggio part at the end goes between the left, both, and right speakers sequentially.

I wanted something big and dramatic, so I went the semi-orchestral route, and completely transformed the context of the two melodies I used to suit the mood of the piece. In particular, Harlequin seems almost unrecognizable unless you're paying attention or have a good ear.

It came about in a strange, almost fateful way, and I think the final product reflects that. It was the first thing that Radiation and I worked on together, and it was through Hardchorale that our friendship started. He approached me with a MIDI file he had made, intending it to be a sort of "boss battle" arrangement of Chorale for Jaspers in the style of Harleboss. He asked if I would be interested in producing it, since at the time he was just starting out and had no means to do so. I agreed, Chorale being one of my favorite Homestuck tunes. So I produced it in a DAW to make it sound "good", and relative to the MIDI file it sounded great, and we were both really happy with it. Radiation got Bowman to record some heavy metal meows, which he apparently almost got kicked out of his apartment for recording and claims to have video of, though I have yet to see it. Once I found out it was going to be on Vol. 5, I added a section to it (roughly the last third of the piece) and at the very end sneaked the Squiddles theme just because I could. I realize that was more of a narrative than a commentary, but it's the history behind this piece that I find fun to talk about more than the piece itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: An Unbreakable Union Artist: Kalibration Track Art: cityinthesea -Duration: 2:30 +Duration: '2:30' Art Tags: - Jade - Becquerel URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union-2 - https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Q -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Skaian Ride Artist: Seth Peelle, Andrew Huo Track Art: awildcale -Duration: 3:04 +Duration: '3:04' References: - track:aggrieve - track:showtime-original-mix @@ -181,11 +180,11 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-ride-2 - https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: White Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: RainbowCookiz -Duration: 1:25 +Duration: '1:25' References: - Liquid Negrocity Art Tags: @@ -193,11 +192,11 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/white-2 - https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Octoroon Rangoon Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: enjistier -Duration: 2:11 +Duration: '2:11' References: - Liquid Negrocity - The Ballad of Jack Noir @@ -210,27 +209,26 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/octoroon-rangoon-2 - https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8w -Lyrics: - Make her a member of the Midnight Crew! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Lyrics: Make her a member of the Midnight Crew! +--- Track: Pumpkin Cravings Artist: Seth Peelle Track Art: freckledOctopus -Duration: 3:57 +Duration: '3:57' Art Tags: - John - Rose - Dave - Jade -- cw: eye horror +- 'cw: eye horror' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings-2 - https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Welcome to the New Extreme Artist: Robert J!

It's actually a really simple tune, and I've wanted to expand on it for ages but never got around to it. The entire piece consists of the same simple chord progression, but it's a good, if played out, progression. That and the beautiful harmonies one is guaranteed to find with it is why I think this is one of my more popular songs. It's not as well-composed as I'd like it to be, but it is definitely catchy. And Radiation was responsible for the name, jokingly calling it "crystalanthemums" after I described it sound like a crystalline flower.

Well, simply put, I really liked the chord progression, and I really enjoyed one of the remixes that was formerly in the discography. Because of both, I decided I wanted to do something with a bit of a heavier sound to it, but keeping consistent with the light and vibrant tone qualities. The bassline and drums definitely helped give the song a much heavier feel than the original, showing an earlier example of what I feel has become my typical contrast in music. I very much enjoy contrasts in all art forms. Unexpected contrasts that are executed well just really made me happy. I can’t say I’m particularly happy with the bassline now, but back then that was pretty appropriate for my skill level, plus having an arpeggiating sound that I really used to do too much. Of course, the comments I see the most on this song are on the improvised piano part. Before I was on the team I started doing a regular broadcast on the skaia.net internet radio, and I’d improvise over this song pretty often back then. I eventually figured out a few parts that I wanted to keep consistent, and I did a bunch of takes to finally get to what you hear in the final song. Of course, MIDI never seems to record very accurately, and I’m not actually the greatest at piano (!!!), so I had to do some fine-tuning on the note timings to make them actually sound precise. But those really fast runs were definitely real, and, no, don’t ask me to play it again. I won’t be able to. It was a really good day for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Sarabande Artist: Erik Scheele Track Art: Sollay -Duration: 2:18 +Duration: '2:18' Directory: sarabande-vol5 Art Tags: - Rose URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sarabande-2 - https://youtu.be/bkzYLa9iR6Q -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> I’ll never really know what happened to produce this. Not really, never. I wish I could remember if there was some thought process behind it, some sort of inspiration, but I really can’t remember any. Most likely, that was for the better. What I mean is, I used to do a lot of improvisation after theater classes, instead of practicing, while my mother would clean up the various classrooms that were used. There was never really any inspiration for things that I can remember, and they were just a lot of off-the-cuff experiments of a sort, I guess. Some probably turned out great, and there were probably more than a couple days where nothing happened. I can remember trying to emulate different video game soundtracks or bits from them, but that was never really a norm. The only thing I’d ever think regularly was how no one would ever actually hear the improvisation I was playing, and I was okay with that. This was before college, anyway. My point is, improvisation rarely had a point, so it’s really impossible to nail down if there was any reason for playing Sarabande that night. The way it went about, I just played the piece, exactly how it was recorded, aside from one little mistake. Then I stopped, went “Okay yeah, that was good”, packed up, and left. A while later, I needed to play things for the composer concert, so I performed it from memory, and that’s where the recording came from. It’s kind of gained a status among the fandom for being music for when John reads Jade’s letter, which I think is a rather good place for it to go. Although, I think I actually called it “Rooftop Waltz” at one point, for Rose/Dave shipping stuff, buuuuut I’m rather glad that the “purpose” and title is changed now. “Rooftop Waltz”, that’s such an awful cheesy love title, plus, the piece really is a sarabande. I mean literally, it fits the genre fairly well, plus my composition prof called it “a perfect sarabande”, so there we go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Clockwork Sorrow Artist: David Ko Track Art: Prince -Duration: 1:04 +Duration: '1:04' References: - Clockwork Melody Art Tags: @@ -312,11 +310,11 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockwork-sorrow-2 - https://youtu.be/fMn4Iehh2A4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Phantasmagoric Waltz Artist: Alex Rosetti Track Art: Dzu -Duration: 1:43 +Duration: '1:43' Art Tags: - John - Rose @@ -325,18 +323,18 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phantasmagoric-waltz-2 - https://youtu.be/WnqZR9rzEJA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> This is exactly what it sounds like.

It was the first piece I made upon my return to the music team (I was in it since the beginning, but never made anything worthwhile and left for a few months since I was starting my first year of college) <i>(extra comments in reply to a Tumblr question)</i> For some reason waltzes, Lydian mode, harps, and bell-like timbres seemed like the most appropriate ways to evoke dreams for me.

Given my lack of any truly convincing string samples, I chose instead to use deliberately mechanical strings, gently de-tuning them to sound a bit reminiscent of early string synthesizers, somewhat inspired by “Crystal Japan”, a creepy instrumental by David Bowie. Some of the other elements of the ambiance (the wind, the really high notes that echo for a long time) I drew from the soundtrack to World of Goo, specifically the track “Jelly” which I noticed bore a strong resemblance tonally to Jit’s composition. To seal the melancholy, I doubled the piano melody on guitar using a very cool, muted sound with a lot of echoes and pitch bends. I signed the tune by adding a cadence from “Sburban Jungle” at the very end. Really, the track should probably be listed simply as “Ruins” if not for the fact that there is not official piano rendition of the piece. I think it would be really cool to hear such a version of the tune if Jit ever found himself recording material in a studio again (as he did for James’s piano suite Sburb). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Ectobiology Artist: David Ko Track Art: Kirvia -Duration: 1:39 +Duration: '1:39' Art Tags: - John - Rose @@ -566,40 +564,40 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ectobiology-2 - https://youtu.be/3dS73kM5EIE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Upholding the Law Artist: Alex Rosetti Track Art: vorpos -Duration: 1:44 +Duration: '1:44' Art Tags: - AR URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/upholding-the-law-2 - https://youtu.be/xrKUOCR55sA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> I consider this an important piece to myself, but not to Homestuck music in general.

This was the first piece I ever composed where I explored colorful and playful orchestration. The xylophone and pizzicato strings that I was playing around with would become my bread and butter a couple years later. I'm not currently known among the Homestuck musicians as being an orchestral composer, but I've reached the point where there's nothing I like composing more than fully orchestrated pieces.

And not just fully orchestrated either, there's a certain sense of color I love exploring and I like making lighter sounds despite using a bigger and more imposing ensemble. I haven't released anything that showcases that yet, but I definitely will be in the future, so I think that's something to be excited about. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Underworld Artist: Steve Everson Track Art: Koukouvayia -Duration: 2:25 +Duration: '2:25' Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/underworld-2 - https://youtu.be/TzVrxUlBYOA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Steve Everson:</i> My other favourite from Volume 5. It started life as a theme for the Aimless Renegade, inspired by a “Desperado” theme which I believe was written by Bolin back when he was still part of the team. I wasn’t really running on any particular goal of contributing so much as liking the style and wanting to make something similar. Imagine the piece as it is now played by some sort of mariachi band and you might have the right idea of what it originally sounded like. Naturally, it didn’t quite fit. I liked the melody but it just wasn’t working for the whole desert hero thing. So I flipped through my library of voices (small though it was back then) and came across the more electronic one that plays the melody now. I re-tooled the accompaniment to fit, and it became a piece that I always considered a theme for Derse. Hence its title. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Crystamanthequins Artist: Erik Scheele Track Art: Jenny References: - Crystalanthemums - Mannequin -Duration: 3:10 +Duration: '3:10' Art Tags: - Aradia - Terezi @@ -607,18 +605,18 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystamanthequins-2 - https://youtu.be/9YhdlvBqG5w -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> Probably the thing I’m best-known for off of Volume 5, which is slightly ironic given how rushed it was. No kidding, I finished it up the night that Hussie was rounding up tracks to go through, and threw it in as a last-minute thing, “hey I just finished this can it go in??” deal. I mean, I’d had inspiration for it earlier, but never got around to making it until it was almost too late! Yeah, this one definitely had inspiration. To answer a quick question you might have though, no, I didn’t know about the trolls beforehand, or what Hussie was going to do with the music. I didn’t even find out until Albatross Soup told me about it, a few weeks before it happened. Moreso, the inspiration came from a sudden image I had one night during the summer, in which Jade’s planet, at that time unknown, was highly unstable, and Noir had purposefully upset the balance in order to try and destroy her planet. So the entire first bit is her trying to save her inhabitants, while Crystalanthemums plays. The reason for having that motif, well, I’d had this very strong feeling that it should be Jade’s planet theme. So, it got used. (The mental images of one of the kid’s planets getting broken/torn apart like I’d imagined still give me the shivers. I still love Hussie so much for creating a villain that actually did something upon gaining obscene amounts of power; rather than just retreating and launching some master plan, he actually went around and started doing shit with his powers. Not something you even really see in Hollywood villains nowadays, far as I know. The protagonists and antagonists are always very separated, no interaction between one or the other, nothing like what Noir does. At least, that was my experience at the time.) As for the second bit, well, I’d wanted to make an “industrial, heavy action, stuff going to shit” remix of Perrybob’s Mannequin for quite some time, and it seemed to fit to transition over to that. In my head, the action was going to shift from Jade’s planet to LOHAC, where unspecific action was going to take place. I really don’t think I gave the Mannequin section enough time to develop, or really do much, but time constraints dictated I give the music over to the volume 5 collaborative -right then and there-, so it had to be cut off. Mannequin’s really great, though, you should give it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAyPFa3nEK4&feature=youtu.be">a listen</a>. Also, as a sidenote, my like for Beck is rather shown in this piece, as is evidenced by my direct attempt to semi-recreate main beat in Replica to transition between the two sections. #MUSICSECRETSSSSSSSS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Endless Climbing Artist: Perry Sullivan Track Art: allyssinian -Duration: 2:12 +Duration: '2:12' References: - track:endless-climb Art Tags: @@ -626,11 +624,11 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/endless-climbing-2 - https://youtu.be/zBh8V5EonSs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Land of the Salamanders Artist: David Ko Track Art: Kisbys -Duration: 1:44 +Duration: '1:44' References: - track:doctor - track:sburban-jungle @@ -644,27 +642,27 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/land-of-the-salamanders-2 - https://youtu.be/bfKXw-kSnq8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Medical Emergency Artist: Alex Rosetti Track Art: Nolvini -Duration: 2:08 +Duration: '2:08' References: - Savior of the Waking World Art Tags: - John -- cw: blood +- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/medical-emergency-2 - https://youtu.be/aCci9GxbsSM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> Radiation gave me a MIDI of Savior of the Waking World to remix shortly before he figured out how to do it himself.

The bass progression matches Skies of Skaia's, with more bounce to it, and the melody of Skies of Skaia was quantified/simplified into a repeating motif. It was mostly composed by feel the rest of the way. I actually had writer's block for a while after I reached about 1:02, and it never really got resolved, which is why 1:21 onwards feels kinda awkward and not so great. I kinda wish I could go back and redo it so it sounds better. But what Radiation did with it turning it into Skaian Skirmish worked really well. There was some vague artistic direction from the Big Man that helped with this a little bit. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of "okay, maybe you can bring it down a bit in the middle, then ramp it up for the big finish." So I tried to do that using a new bassline, using wandering skips of third and fourth rather than downwise step in an attempt to mirror Skies of Skaia's original melody, as well as scrambling the repeating sixteenth note motif based on the original melody. Like I said, though, I would say it worked out awkwardly rather than well. It does create a certain mood, which, like I said, Radiation capitalized on. Whoops, I just repeated myself, but in more detail the second time. What's that called in literary device terms? Amplification? Yeah, let's go with that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Throwdown Artist: Steve Everson Track Art: Gene -Duration: 1:36 +Duration: '1:36' Art Tags: - John - Rose @@ -749,37 +747,37 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/throwdown-2 - https://youtu.be/pe-4Gsc6TMI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Steve Everson:</i> Man, this track goes way back.

Not really as well-known as the other three, I don’t think, but I’m still happy with various aspects of it. Not really any specific inspiration, I just started out with the thought of wanting to make a contrasting piece to Black. Especially with the opening piano line, but overall, something more pure and light. Of course, by the time I got around to finishing it, Radiation had already stolen the title “White”, so I called mine “Light” instead. About the middle section, I think that needs a bit of talk about it. I’d just been talking with a friend about Homestuck, telling him about the numerical motif 413, and telling him various examples, and he went and said “Yeah, that could be a chord progression too”, and I was like “whooooooooooooooooah”. So I used it as a chord progression. For the first while, though, I had this dual guitar line instead of Showtime, and it was sorta eeeeenh and I didn’t know where to go from there. It sat for a while, then suddenly one day in church I was like “oh holy shit showtime would work so well in there”. It was like suddenly remembering you left a cake in the oven on 500 degrees for the last two nights, that sort of realization. So it went in, and it worked much better than the stupid two-guitar thing. 413 as a motif, I’ve used it in various ways. Not saying anything, though, not even sure about spoiling its use in Light. If you ever analyze various bits of music, though, you might notice it popping up, or other little fun bits. That’s all I’ve got to say about that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Softly Artist: Robert J!

The whole thing was written more or less on the fly. The chord pattern is one that I’d liked for several months, possibly even a year or two, without ever having come up with something good enough to write to it. Then, one evening while I was in the shower (all of my best ideas come from the shower) my mind pulled together a half-remembered bassline from an obscure-ish Sonic the Hedgehog game and a brief snippet from an old quiz show called Catchphrase, and strung them into the main harmonies of the piece. From there I just lay an improvised piano melody on top. When I presented it to the music team it was pretty well-received, and with some of their guidance the whole piece ended up pretty polished. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Snow Pollen Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: Rozenn-blog -Duration: 2:10 +Duration: '2:10' References: - Lotus Art Tags: @@ -857,32 +855,32 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/snow-pollen-2 - https://youtu.be/xFTuVM3nACY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Candles and Clockwork Artist: James Dever Track Art: Quibbs -Duration: 2:34 +Duration: '2:34' Art Tags: - Dave -- cw: corpses (abstract) +- 'cw: corpses (abstract)' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/candles-and-clockwork-2 - https://youtu.be/gTNWsk3dKqc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Can Town Artist: Alex Rosetti Track Art: taqibun -Duration: 1:40 +Duration: '1:40' Art Tags: - WV URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/can-town-2 - https://youtu.be/-BP2X5opz4M -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Plague Doctor Artist: Steve Everson Track Art: ghostecutioner -Duration: 1:13 +Duration: '1:13' References: - track:doctor Art Tags: @@ -890,14 +888,14 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/plague-doctor-2 - https://youtu.be/SnVdIDSx5-I -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Steve Everson:</i> I’m sure you all know the story behind the Doctor remixes.

The replacements work incredibly well for trying to give an icy sound, and I’m pleased with how it turned out. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to doing songs that are this ambient and minimalist, because my composing skills have progressed significantly since then, and I require much more complexity in my work. Also, now that this song is actually over two years old (for me), I’ve noticed how flawed it is. But nonetheless, this is probably one of my best songs, and it’s well loved by the Homestuck fandom.

Ultimatly it ended up being used for something completely different than originally intended, and oddly the name ("Black Rose") became oddly apt once she went all grimdark and tried to fight Jack ("Green Sun").

Around 1:00 we here the music box chords from Black Rose/ return, then at 1:20 it's another Keytar Solo from me (I'd just bought it and was feeling cocky). The rhythm guitar and guitar solo at the end was also me and also something I was terrified to do since I don't normally do "Live" playing (Everything is usually sequenced). In this case, a lot of it was so difficult to do (Because I can barely play guitar. At all) at this speed most of it was played at a slower tempo and then sped up digitally (HAX!). The drums were easily the funnest thing to sequence in this thing, mainly all the awesome fills and the double bass step at the end. The final guitar solo is an attempt to reference Rose's original "Strife" theme - Aggrieve. It's very loosely there, and I reckon needs to come back in some fashion since it's actually kind of awesome.

The scene inspiring it was obviously Terezi's ancestor Redglare vs Vriska's ancestor Mindfang during the sort of mock-trial that ended in Mindfang mind-controlling the crowd and hanging Redglare. Felt like a nice scene to try some musical accompaniment, so I did. So a combination of liking Terezi's theme and getting my hands on some new samples and voices, I decided to whip this together. The idea was a very tribal, savage kind of military march (and chanting) to represent the lower class masses baying for blood. It starts off using Lemonsnout Turnabout for Terezi, but then quickly changes to Crystalanthemums -- Specifically for the reference to "Make Her Pay" and Crystamanthequins as a kind of "Vriska vs Somebody" theme. Ideally it would've just evolved into Vriska's theme, but I find that one a bit tricky to work with. Finally it throws in a string glissando as tension mounts, and then snap! Dead! (The snapping is some kind of double bass string snap.) The little eerie female vocalist thing didn't really work and is a bit cliched, but I kinda like the rest of the track.

Then as I was writing the brass became more and more of a foreground element, and that’s how Spider8reath became the screamy shrill funfest that it is now. People who said that the exposed guitar solo at the start reminded them of Van Halen were totally right, because the song ‘Eruption’ was more or less a direct inspiration for it. I think it turned out really well, and it serves as a great intro to the song! Really though, the main inspiration for this song simply comes from building on the previous Vriska songs that Radiation did. While the brass was a new, spur-of-the-moment addition, the guitar riffs and melodies were always supposed to be reminiscent of stuff like Spider’s Claw, Killed by Br8k Spider and MeGaLoVaNia. People definitely seem to associate this song with Vriska too now, so mission accomplished I guess? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Lifdoff Artist: Malcolm Brown Track Art: Stevie -Duration: 2:38 +Duration: '2:38' Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lifdoff-2 - https://youtu.be/8NvMi8GJKUM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Malcolm Brown:</i> Name's fairly obviously a reference to SB&HJ And also the bit where John's car takes off, as the song is a reference to.

The original plan was "Showtime in the style of a soaring, brass-filled JRPG Airship theme (ala Highwind, Ragnarawk takes to the skies, Wings etc.) and that's where the first bits come from. Around about 0:56 I wanted to try some cool chord progression as a kind of extension of John's theme (Something I've used in future i.e. Do You Remem8er Me).

Things changed though. Once I had actually started writing and refining it, I decided to change its message, from a mad owl thing to the mysterious demon in the troll’s session which had been recently mentioned in the comic (I wrote this sometime in Fall 2010). Also, yes, that is why there is distorted owl screeches at the end, although they were more meant to evoke the horrorterrors crying out in pain than owls by the time it was finished. Contains some very powerful organ and some great chord progressions, but also some structural choices I am not completely proud of, which remained in the piece until its release months and months later because the original Finale file crashed on me before I had a chance to save it.

First main goal was some kind of Doctor remix, on the ground that I never actually did one (Took my hiatus around the time of Vol 5.) so this was partially a jokey attempt to "Join in the fun". Secondary goal was mainly a combination of liking the track this is mostly based on (Waking World) and the concept of Godhood ascension (Didn't have a particular character in mind at the time). There's also a little bit of wanting to try some new instrument samples (Namely choir and guitar) so there was a bit of experimentation in this one too. The working title for this one was "Doctor on the Bridge", because the choir instrumentation at the start reminded me a bit of "The Bridge of Khazad-dûm" (the bit after Gandalf dies in the LOTR movie). The final product aimed at being a bit closer to the original SotWW so I gave it a kind of darker twist - "Dreaming Dead" worked quite well as a title and Homestuck concept (And kept the alliteration). The ending I like, it channels a bit of danger and kickass before ending rather uncertainly. I wasn't fully 100% on this one to begin with - There were parts I liked and parts I didn't - And it's not as faithful a 'Doctor/Waking World' homage as it could be... The mastering also isn't brilliant - Quite bass heavy in places. But. After it was used in Cascade, particularly with Rad's additions to the ending and generally going along to the animation of Jade Being Awesome and Universes Being Destroyed it's hard for me not to like it now - Particularly when the end cuts hit and everything's starting to head towards disaster. I don't think it's one of my best, and I would love to go back and try making it better, but I'm happy enough that it was used at one of the biggest moments in the comic, and still stands as a fairly harmless, simple and straightforward bit of music. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Bonus tracks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Maplehoof's Adventure Artist: Michael Guy Bowman Track Art: Carla Bravo -Duration: 3:01 +Duration: '3:01' Art Tags: - Rose - Maplehoof URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/maplehoofs-adventure-2 - https://youtu.be/d-7SMRSvnv8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Sburban Reversal Artist: Mark Hadley Track Art: Devin H-S -Duration: 3:51 +Duration: '3:51' References: - track:sburban-countdown Art Tags: @@ -311,14 +310,14 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-reversal-2 - https://youtu.be/oL3r83dPcMs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Mark Hadley:</i> Not long after I made Sburban Countdown, I made a version that rewinds back to the beginning again and called it 'Sburban Reversal', just in case it might be useful someday.

It wasn't really anything except for the reversing, so I eventually decided to extend it out to a full song.

What I’ve enjoyed really intensely about Andrew’s sense of humor in Homestuck and his other adventures is his gradual elevation of silly details onto the pedestals of utter drama, and with this track I tried to recreate that. You laughed at the honks and the chanting before - now your heart races (at least I hope). There was a certain difficulty in making “Calamity” really work for me. I had a couple of different sounds I was attempting all at once, each working on their own but sort of fighting for control when mashed together. The introduction and conclusion of the song using a theme from “Walk-Stab-Walk” needed to be really punchy, while I really needed the middle of the song to glide, and the connecting bits with the chanting needed to build and build in tension. There are a lot of different sounds in the song’s palette, the most difficult of which to utilize was the enormous saw synth that dominates the middle. Getting that thing to be grand without utterly overpowering the rest of the song was incredibly difficult. Overall I was really satisfied with how much excitement there is in this song. It’s got a big simple melody but it doesn’t outstay its welcome. As the album opener, it sets up the stakes and excitement of Homestuck without sort of beating the point into you by lasting too long. I think of it as a cousin to “Sburban Jungle” or at least another song approached in that dramatic, electronic way. The countdown sample is from a NASA recording, I believe it’s the launch of Apollo 11. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Do You Remem8er Me Artist: Malcolm Brown Track Art: Richard Gung -Duration: 4:28 +Duration: '4:28' References: - Lifdoff - track:showtime-original-mix @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-remem8er-me-2 - https://youtu.be/x8mLKTY5TWM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Malcolm Brown:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> Alas poor Vriska.

I completed most of the piece without drums or effects at first, but felt something was missing. After messing around with some different bits of drum samples, I found beats that were suitable for what I was going for, and those helped give more definition to the meter of the piece as much of it was long chords that made it hard to distinguish at times, then added some occasional filter effects to increase the overall spacey feel.

There, I said it. I’ve mentioned before how awesome it is and how dramatically it has undersold compared to the rest of our material, but apparently everyone is too terrified of its My Little Pony meets Cthulu approach to give it a shot. Trust me, you’ll like it more than you think you will. Anyway, one of the most surprising tracks on that particular album is “Ocean Stars”, a peaceful, mysterious little ditty imagined by Mark with a nautical theme in mind. I thought it had a beautiful little structure, and I guess the song must have stuck with me because at some point I found myself playing its chords over and over on my keyboard faster and faster until I was sure it would make for a great little indie rock inspired track. So I did just that. This song takes its cues most heavily from “Regatta de Blanc” by the Police and “Life in Technicolor” by Coldplay - the meditatively simple rock backup is accompanied by a huge chorus of wordless vocals provided by countless overdubs of Tavia and myself. These middle voices are bookended by the twinkling bell sounds in the high range and the rumbling drums and guitar in the low range to make for a very full mix that really surprised me with its depth. I threw in some slowed-down bubble sounds (the same samples from “Mister Bowman Tells You About the Squiddles”) to create the ocean ambiance, something I’d really gotten the chance to hear on a scuba dive I’d done over the summer. This is another example of a song that has the “just right” feeling about its length. I could probably have easily repeated the vocals endlessly as though I was attempting to induce transcendental meditation - it would probably have had the same effect as “Hey Jude” or any number of other great songs. Owing though to my sense that this album was going to be a long one (my contributions alone come out to more than 20 minutes of music) I decided to capitalize on having achieved the harmony and just let it end when its thought was fully expressed, not unlike the original composition by Mark. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Escape Pod Artist: Michael Guy Bowman Track Art: Paige Turner -Duration: 2:58 +Duration: '2:58' Art Tags: - WV - CD URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/escape-pod-2 - https://youtu.be/GJo7ZH6p6wA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> Before going into a description of this track, I must make a long-overdue rebuttal to the factors that overshadowed its reception. Yes, I know this song and its track art pertain to the Wayward Vagabond. Yes, I know it’s sad that Andrew “killed off” the Wayward Vagabond on the same day that this album was released. No, I had no idea that would happen nor do I care how incongruous the song’s mood seems in relation to that particular plot point. Anyway, now that I finally said my keep on that, “Escape Pod” was a really really fun track to do. It’s a rock track with a feelgood video game attitude - I’ve heard it described as Sonic music a lot, though to be fair my main reference were Nintendo games, particularly Earthbound from which I borrowed the deliberately fake brass. It also shares some similarities with the Mario sound, kind of really owing to the competitive games such as Mario Kart and Mario Party. The track also pulls a lot from actual rock music - the Roxy Music track “Street Life” was a big cue here, and the start-stop structure on the second chorus was really inspired by Tally Hall’s track “<a href="https://youtu.be/8sV1EOJQTEI">Greener</a>” of which the effect can only be described in exotic dance. I really wanted to pull out the stops on this one and make it catchy as hell, but apparently the two tracks book-ending it on Volume 8 steal its thunder. What more can be said about it? This is about as totally poppy (or perhaps J-poppy) as I get. Compared to stuff like “Greenhouse” and “Squiddle Samba” this track is right up my alley. It in contrast with some of the other stuff that I’ve made appearing on the very same album (the minimalist piece “Gust of Heir” which I collaborated on with James Dever comes to mind) you’ll see that I can go just as far in the saccharine direction as I can into the abstract. For me range has always been an asset I’ve felt was important to nurture, so with Volume 8 I set the pace for my work ethic on Ithaca in terms of never settling to have “found my sound” no matter how well any one idea works. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Davesprite Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: P-RO -Duration: 1:41 +Duration: '1:41' References: - Hawkeye - track:atomyk-ebonpyre @@ -194,19 +194,19 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/davesprite-2 - https://youtu.be/Iy5fKp-aV4o -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Airtime Artist: Robert J!

Maybe it’s because I was busy surprising myself with this one as well. I’ve mentioned Weather Report a few times as an influence, and while I can’t bring even a fraction of that band’s musicianship to my work, I really attempted to bring their sense of atmosphere to the piece. There’s a lot of elements thrown in there - the wacky time signature (17/8 if I recall correctly), the meandering syncopated piano, the funk breaks, all that latin percussion, plus a pile of odd sound effects. I threw in some frog ambiance using some really odd synthesizers and a toy accordion as well. The point of this song was to kind of put the action, the drama, and all that teenage chemistry on hold so I could focus on a moment in the story that might be just a little bit more peaceful. Going on a safari for frogs on a newly-awakened alien forest world seems to beckon a very different angle than the heated stakes typically associated with Homestuck. Plus, I’ve always felt that the environment of Homestuck deserves a little more attention given that nearly 99% of all art generated by the fans are homages to their favorite characters and not the fantastic places imagined by Andrew. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Terraform Artist: Solatrus Contributors: Thomas Ferkol (electric guitar) Track Art: Richard Gung -Duration: 4:35 +Duration: '4:35' References: - Terra - track:frost-vol6 @@ -237,16 +237,16 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/terraform-2 - https://youtu.be/bWp5uUxarAQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> That’s a remix of Terra and (obviously) Frost.

The first of the two was “Gust of Heir”, a track that James Dever wrote and for which I did the production. James and I are both fans of minimalism, specifically the work of Philip Glass. An eerie-looking autographed program from the Philip on Film tour graces the wall of my room, and the primary piece of music that got me interested in composition is Einstein on the Beach, a five-hour opera consisting largely of slowly-evolving repeated figures using chanted numbers and solfege. Those otherwise unfamiliar might know his music better from the many movies he’s scored including Secret Window, The Truman Show, and The Hours. Anyway, I knew right away where James was coming from when he sent me a midi demo of “Gust of Heir” though originally it was arranged as a piano solo. Without access to a pro recording situation as on the Sburb piano suite, we knew there would have to be an alternate solution, hence the electronic approach. I played pretty heavily with a set of new sounds, specifically the soundfonts of Ethan Winer, an audio professional whose work was recommended by Radiation a good while back. As I have on many occasions I took cues from <a href="http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/">Oblique Strategies</a> to get some ideas for the arrangement. Part of the intrigue in producing this piece was that it was fully written, meaning that in some ways I was boxed-in to a complete journey for the song to take musically yet in others free to really explore and discover a unique sound for the song. I really played toggling a slew of effects until this tune became rendering hell for my computer. I stepped a bit outside my own range of comfort and got some drum loops from Clark Powell to really polish off the piece, adding a touch that otherwise would probably have eluded me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Afraid of the Darko Artist: Robert J!

With little conscious attempts at maintaining structure (other than the section after the intro, which appears a few times to hold things together), it can come off as a wild ride through a bunch of interesting ideas just sort of strung together like a glass mobile made with craft glue and shiny twine. And that is a pretty accurate description. The piece was sort of an experiment for me, filled with a lot of concepts that might even have needed a separate piece to flesh them out properly, but I made this piece with the Volume 8 submissions deadline looming over head (I think it was a little under a week until final decisions on tracks were supposed to be). This is also an example of a piece where I set out with a clear mindset for what I wanted. Seeing there was no piece based on Echidna and Jade’s encounters (Radiation didn’t show us his tracks until around when the order was being decided hehe), I wanted something majestic and regal, something befitting of a monstrous queen in ancient stone halls of a frozen world. Eventually it developed into a sort of audio tour of Echidna’s palace and highlighted the conversation, never fully revealed, that took place between Jade and Echidna as they struck a deal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Frostbite Artist: Toby Fox Contributors: Marcy Nabors (flute) Track Art: Nic Carey -Duration: 3:51 +Duration: '3:51' References: - Gaia Queen URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frostbite-2 - https://youtu.be/Gdb_nZs6plw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Lost Child Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: Sarah Fu -Duration: 2:54 +Duration: '2:54' References: - psych0ruins Art Tags: @@ -461,26 +461,26 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-lost-child-2 - https://youtu.be/-OFQHEy5TDw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Questant's Lament Artist: Thomas Ferkol Track Art: Fibug -Duration: 3:13 +Duration: '3:13' Art Tags: - WQ URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/questants-lament-2 - https://youtu.be/ILt6Qyxc1bw -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Thomas Ferkol:</i> Questant’s Lament is one of my favorite tracks that I’ve made.

Soon some big drums and some spacey guitars found their way into the mix (in my attempts to make something on the line of ambient black or doom metal). Finally, I added Dave’s “blast off” to help Rose with a metal-ified version of Atomyk Ebonpyre (which people keep requesting a full version of... maybe). This was another track that I had a clear design for, following as best as I could the events surrounding Rose and Dave’s chat on Derse before creating the Green Sun, focusing more on the atmosphere surrounding the debacle than what they talked about. After putting the original version up for the team to see, Plazmataz offered to spruce things up. And they did. And it was awesome. And then Radiation said he could make some crazy drums for the last section. And he did. And it was awesome too.

Because as a chip tune it had been long overlooked, I decided to take a whack at producing it in a different style for inclusion on Volume 8. I had been looking for a piece that would work as a rock tune, and “Dirgeish” really struck me because of the heavy involvement of drums, its steady pace, and dynamic structure. The unique challenge of arranging “Revered Return” was pinning down exactly what was what - “Dirgeish” had maximized use of its resources as an electronic composition, shifting instrumentation several times in ways that wouldn’t translate to a rock context. I found myself in a very subjective position, kind of picking and choosing what things would stay in and what things would be changed, while overall trying to maintain the original structure of the song. The structure I think might be the most unique part of “Revered Return” - it doesn’t waste time by really repeating itself a lot. Nine out of ten times I work on a song I find myself writing or arranging something that moves in a very basic structure like ABAB or AABA or other variants, etc. “Dirgeish” gave me the challenge of establishing coherency in a piece that seemed to move almost completely linearly, and I made sure to preserve its sort of ABCDEFGBA-type structure in arranging “Revered Return” for Volume 8. <i>Nick Smalley:</i> Remember that thing about ORGMaker? Yeah, this song, too. Except add me asking Andrew Huo to help finish it and Bowman to ramp it up, and you’ve got Revered Return. :3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Judgment Day Artist: Toby Fox Contributors: Kelly Sadwin (violin) Track Art: Lazylaz -Duration: 2:00 +Duration: '2:00' References: - track:ruins Art Tags: @@ -577,22 +577,22 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/judgment-day-2 - https://youtu.be/MD2TLTtyfDE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Lotus (Bloom) Artist: Seth Peelle Track Art: myluckyseven -Duration: 4:05 +Duration: '4:05' References: - Lotus URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lotus-bloom-2 - https://youtu.be/RrIofwv86HM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cascade Artist: Toby Fox, Tensei, Clark Powell, Malcolm Brown Contributors: Toby Fox (editing) Track Art: none -Duration: 13:14 +Duration: '13:14' References: - Cascade (Beta) - Flare (Cascade) @@ -601,11 +601,11 @@ References: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cascade-2 - https://youtu.be/Ckr6KyZoS58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew (Acapella) Artist: David Ko Track Art: Vivian Ng -Duration: 2:50 +Duration: '2:50' References: - I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew Art Tags: @@ -613,7 +613,7 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/im-a-member-of-the-midnight-crew-acapella-2 - https://youtu.be/Br294PLbHBA -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- I hate a moral coward, one who lacks a manly spark<br>I just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark<br>I always spend my evenings where there's women wine and song<br>But like a man, I always bring my little wife along!

Hence, for Volume 8, I decided to do a more serious version of “How Do I Live” that doesn’t mortify me entirely. I always had thought of “How Do I Live” as a breakup song, so as an anthem of dependency between generic 90’s lovers I was underwhelmed. However, in Con Air it’s meant to be the love theme of a woman whose husband serves in the military, giving the song a very different meaning. The stakes are not whether the singer’s lover will stay or leave but whether they will live or die, a thought that is instantly more resonant for anyone who has been in love I think. The trick to this one for me was cutting out all the bullshit really - the ridiculous key change is removed and the drums are minimal to the extent of sounding like a funeral march. Rather than starting off with chipper little electric organs and keyboards, this version takes a cue from “Purple Rain” and uses only electric guitar and vocals for the first minute. The vocals start off sounding a million miles away and are subtly brought closer and closer until the other instruments join in on the second verse. I added a new bridge section in so that Thomas Ferkol could have a chance to play some real guitar in this one, and of course he showed his colors as a metal guitarist, sending me a duet between harmonized voices. David Ko also appears on this track as the gently-spoken backup vocalist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cascade (Beta) Artist: Tensei Track Art: Mia Schwartz -Duration: 4:06 +Duration: '4:06' Art Tags: - John - Dave @@ -661,32 +661,32 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cascade-beta-2 - https://youtu.be/Svy9DBBZKpk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Black Hole / Green Sun Artist: Malcolm Brown, Toby Fox Contributors: Tensei (electric guitar), Kelly Sadwin (violin) Track Art: none -Duration: 2:30 +Duration: '2:30' References: - Black Rose / Green Sun - track:sburban-jungle URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-hole-green-sun-2 - https://youtu.be/B6e2XacZSIs -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Malcolm Brown:</i> Not much to say on this really except the title is kind of an ode to Soundgarden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Carefree Action Artist: Mark Hadley Track Art: 8bitkitten -Duration: 2:08 +Duration: '2:08' Art Tags: - Dave - Jade URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/carefree-action-2 - https://youtu.be/saFRtTDSVKQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Mark Hadley:</i> Back when we knew Jade as just GG, I wrote the first part of Carefree Action as a possible upbeat strife theme for her.

Computers were turned on, headphones were turned up. It was here that Crystalmethequins, begun so many weeks earlier, was finally completed. After deciding that the track art would not be a hastily photoshopped image of troll Bryan Cranston, I came to someone I trusted. Richard Gung is unarguably the master, and his track art was well worth the cost he took from me in that dark alley. The song was chosen from among its peers to open Volume 9.

Housetrapped was a story about an alternate Sburb session and “Another Jungle” was a the-same-but-different theme for the loading screen of that universe’s Sburb client. Sound familiar? When we shifted into gear to create new Homestuck music following the start of Act 6, I was asked to refurbish the forgotten 40-second theme I’d written as the theme to Sburb Alpha. “Another Jungle” is thus the alpha equivalent of “Sburban Jungle” which I had written back when Homestuck began - structurally both songs are very similar, but each with their own melodies and sound choices. “Another Jungle” has the benefit of years of experience with production I did not have when Homestuck began, and to me the fidelity difference really shows. Since writing “Sburban Jungle” I’d become far more familiar with automation, recording, eq, mixing, mastering, and all the techniques that polish a music project. “Another Jungle” is far more dynamic than its predecessor, with each subsequent section of the song having its own unique way of using the instruments and sounds in the project. My favorite touches to this one are all the very mellow sounds that contrast with the brisk pacing of the track - the various pads, the wah-wah guitar, the echoing melody, all of it underlined by drums and brute synth loops. The sudden change in energy when the guitars duck out in the middle and the melody of “Showtime” whispers in is a favorite moment of mine. The very pop ending with its retro house sound was another choice I wouldn’t have seen myself making three years back. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

For me it was a cue that there needed to be a Sburb Alpha universe parallel for the song [[track:maplehoofs-adventure]], which in itself was a spiritual sequel to [[track:pony-chorale]]. It’s sort of a reality check to realize that I have written not one, not two, but three songs for cartoon ponies now - I guess that’s part of this disease we call the Internet. As with the previous installments, I used a sample of Tavia Morra saying “neigh” to punctuate phrases, this time sped up to about double speed to have that chipmunk-esque effect. Everything about this song is a bit faster-paced and squeakier to reflect the stature of the tiny horse. The orchestration was largely inspired by my last trip to Disneyland - the whistles are arranged to sound a bit like the teapots from Alice in Wonderland, and the horn synths were selected because of their resemblance to a merry-go-round organ. @@ -360,11 +360,11 @@ Commentary: The track art was done by Tavia Morra. <i>Tavia Morra:</i> Bowman and I quickly settled on the idea of a picture emphasizing the size of Minihoof, but couldn’t decide on a specific way to show it.

The energy of the track made us think of little Minihoof running through an obstacle course Dirk set up for her on his desk, thus the stapler, the tacks, the brads, the pencils, and the GameBro Magazines.

Jake English is sort of the archetypal Roosevelt-type swashbuckler with all the bravado of a turn-of-the-century primitivist. For him, the palette of sounds is instantaneous: heavy percussion rumbling at a breakneck pace. I threw in chimes, timpani, xylophone, glockenspiel, cymbal crashes, and an uncompromising drum machine to get the atmosphere I wanted. I had a nice, retro-sounding portamento synth as a lead, a quick little intro, and a couple of smart little themes going on right at the beginning, and I was all set for this to be one of those simple, memorable themes not unlike one of the previous Strife themes (“Beatdown”, “Showtime”). Then, at 44 seconds in, something snapped - I suddenly decided that what I was writing was boring and that nothing could be normal from that point on. Inspired by a few listens to “Rollo Interior”, I wrote a rhythmically unconventional breakdown followed by the whole song shifting into “Zappa chords” for a little while. What was excellent about working on this track is it’s one of the first instances in a while where I had really freed myself from any preconceived goals for the song’s form and just decided to write a track from start to finish and see what felt right. I ended up at sort of the golden length - the song begins to loop at 2:15, making it still functional as video game music, and fades out by 2:39. Tavia pointed out to me that pop songs that run a bit short of 3 minutes tend to be incredibly satisfying, especially for a first time listener, as they ask for your attention for an amount of time that doesn’t wear you down. Out of all my tracks for Vol. 9, this is the one I find the easiest to listen to on a loop.

Composer Hideki Naganuma has created some of the most intricate and engaging pieces of dance music I’ve ever heard - his signature approach is his construction of entire songs around only a handful of samples (check out “Funky Dealer” for a good example). Going off of the notion that there aught to be some music dedicated to the 3 years that John, Jade, and Davesprite spend by killing time in Ghostbusters 2 MMORPG, I recorded myself singing the famous exclamation uttered by Ray Parker Jr partway through the legendary 1984 single. What is the deal with that line, really? Apparently chasing ghosts isn’t just a public service for Mr. Parker - it gets him off. The majority of the track is driven by drum and crowd samples with some very funky but intentionally primitive synths on top. I liked the idea of building up to some big climactic house beat, and the climax of the song is sort of an homage to Kalibration and his EDM project Screamcatcher (albeit missing all the cool).

When Tavrisprite appeared in the comic, I challenged myself to make a suitable theme at the same pace I might once have cobbled something together back in 2009. I posted the resulting demo track on my Soundcloud the same day as the character made its debut. My demo fused the Spanish sounds associated with Tavros and the electric lead guitar associated with Vriska. The result was just over a minute of power-flamenco silliness which I planned to expand upon heavily until suddenly Tavrisprite exploded less than an hour after I uploaded the demo. I decided the song aught to be short and sweet as well, so I asked Thomas Ferkol to play some additional metal guitar at the end before dropping in an explosion effect and a distantly echoing “honk” from a certain codpiece-wearing merchant.

The Midnight Crew, while fashion-savvy, are cold-blooded murderers, and I’d been curious as to what a darker version of their signature song might sound like. The inspiration for this “post-punk” arrangement comes specifically from the Iggy Pop track “Nightclubbing”, which was produced by David Bowie during their stay in Berlin in 1977. The Iggy Pop and Eddie Morton tracks are very different takes on a night on the town, and I was utterly fascinated by the thought of injecting the old ragtime track with the same seedy atmosphere of Iggy’s sardonic croon. I’d been playing this particular arrangement live at live shows for a while, and for this recorded version I brought in bandmates Erik Scheele and Marcy Nabors to record their respective parts. Erik delivers the excellent jazz piano, while Marcy added some amazing textures by playing theremin and accordion. I made full use of the wah pedal on my guitar to deliver the very textured guitar performance, and copied Iggy’s beloved drum machine loop for the main percussion.

In a great many ways it was an important song for me. For one, it was the first song I’ve ever written, by which I mean a short, lyrical work written in a structure including verses and choruses. On top of that the music and the melodies came unusually naturally to me, and it all felt organic and expressive of my situation in life at the time of writing. Serenade is by far the closest emotional connection I have to Homestuck. Naturally I wanted to do things properly if I was going to revisit a tune so personally significant. As part of a larger project I was tentatively calling “cellostuck” I decided to tackle Serenade and record a version with live cello parts, hopefully bringing rich textures and lyricism to the song to reflect the musical and personal progress I had made since writing the original. It came out beautifully, much more so than the other experiments I had tried with other songs. I called the final mix Requited, implying that the song can be seen from the opposite side. Consider Requited the pre-Scratch counterpart to Serenade. For the artwork on this track I asked my chum Dodostad to draw something up.

The art pretty much sums up the scene the music was meant to be describing at the start though (assuming jack has a few more knives up his sleeve for the other guards) so I thought I’d include it here. <img src="media/misc/noirscape.png" width="776" height="776"> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Dogfight Artist: Team Dogfight Track Art: Molly Gur -Duration: 3:40 +Duration: '3:40' Art Tags: - PM -- cw: body horror (abstract) +- 'cw: body horror (abstract)' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dogfight-2 - https://youtu.be/t7jg87kn5ps @@ -862,11 +862,11 @@ References: - Courser - track:doctor - Black Rose / Green Sun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: A Taste for Adventure Artist: Seth Peelle Track Art: minty -Duration: 8:24 +Duration: '8:24' References: - track:dissension-original - Carefree Action @@ -876,47 +876,47 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/a-taste-for-adventure-2 - https://youtu.be/S4kIfIUSV6o -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Stargaze Artist: Nick Smalley Track Art: Tavia Morra -Duration: 1:24 +Duration: '1:24' Art Tags: - Jane - Roxy - Dirk - Jake - Lil Cal -- cw: alcohol +- 'cw: alcohol' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/stargaze-2 - https://youtu.be/ZTkdO7c4MEE -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Tavia Morra:</i> Nick Smalley approached me about this one with a very specific image for this one.

When the concept of the record was changed, it was decided that this relatively short song would be included as a bonus when you purchase the full album. The track art is by Emery Ferguson. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Frustracean Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: Homestuck -Duration: 2:47 +Duration: '2:47' References: - track:crustacean Samples: @@ -925,7 +925,7 @@ Samples: URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om3VC6ru4yk - https://youtu.be/om3VC6ru4yk -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- That was the plan, to give you a boner<br>And you GOT ONE Ha-HAA boner diff --git a/album/hush.yaml b/album/hush.yaml index d871cde1..d93a78bd 100644 --- a/album/hush.yaml +++ b/album/hush.yaml @@ -1,26 +1,26 @@ Album: Hush Artist: Michael Guy Bowman Cover Art: Michael Guy Bowman -Has Track Art: no +Has Track Art: false Date: August 19, 2015 Date Added: February 12, 2021 -Color: #da3434 +Color: '#da3434' Groups: - Michael Guy Bowman - Beyond URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/album/hush - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nB5-QshLTbHnnUmt-jJYSI7qVSWKEPCF0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> Fall in the Hush. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: I Have A Plan -Duration: 3:18 +Duration: '3:18' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/i-have-a-plan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfA0PDMOFr8 -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- The conclusion that this journey Has me hurdling toward Is terrifying @@ -73,13 +73,13 @@ Lyrics: For the one that follows you You will know, you will know I HAVE A PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Hush Fell -Duration: 4:14 +Duration: '4:14' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/hush-fell - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiLZkP5_Bvw -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- The HUSH that FELL stopped them cold Upon these streets where dreams are sold Cheap cologne, cheaper thrills @@ -115,14 +115,14 @@ Lyrics: The HUSH that blows On all of us The ones who know -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Synchronize Directory: synchronize-hush -Duration: 3:54 +Duration: '3:54' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/synchronize - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDdzKy4Fcow -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- All I want to do is SYNCHRONIZE with you, babe All I want to do is SYNCHRONIZE with you All I want to do is SYNCHRONIZE with you, babe @@ -148,13 +148,13 @@ Lyrics: All I want to do is stimulate All the feelings we could consummate If you’d let your heart negotiate with me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Tribes -Duration: 3:51 +Duration: '3:51' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/tribes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYcbEKrrpqw -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Just a word to the black-and-white Hungry for the latest fight When you draw lines in the sand @@ -188,13 +188,13 @@ Lyrics: Filled with anger we did not choose to receive Some will fight, some will fall How can anybody choose what they believe? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Redshifts -Duration: 4:36 +Duration: '4:36' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/redshifts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Af7R-OUdlU -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- This is no debate This is no apology Things fall apart, you know @@ -230,13 +230,13 @@ Lyrics: Give back to what you're given And as long as you're still living You'll know you're not the only one -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Rage -Duration: 4:16 +Duration: '4:16' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/rage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LzemZ9_ynA -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- I'm feeling shaken by the changes at this stage Though I can't count to it, I know I have an age Don't make me think of it, I'm writing on my page @@ -263,13 +263,13 @@ Lyrics: You're just another stranger I will soon disperse Please love me at my best, for you will know my worst Know my worst -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Wrong Or Right -Duration: 4:22 +Duration: '4:22' URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/wrong-or-right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfiKfWKbf2Y -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Wide awake in the dead of night Hung up on a losing fight This debate has lost its sight @@ -313,13 +313,13 @@ Lyrics: Haven't I been hurt enough?

Scattergun in its genre and chaotically retro in its fashion, Ithaca is an eclectic mix of songs both personal and abstract. Bowman once again brings his familiar voice and ever-changing production style along with several friends from the Homestuck music project and elsewhere. Ithaca is calling.</i> After spending years making music exclusively for Homestuck, I branched out with 2012’s Ithaca, my first independently released album. Following up on my album-within-a-web-comic [[album:mobius-trip-and-hadron-kaleido]], I moved away from my palette of digital synths to focus on a classic rock style. Out come the guitars, the bass, the little toy harp. Shades of Eno, Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, even a swing tune. It’s a freaky affair. The ideas came from everywhere. There’s a song based on something I heard in a dream when I was eight years old, ([[Old Buggy Now]]). There’s one about an engineer who falls in love with an experimental aircraft ([[Tacit Blue]]). There’s a carriage ride through a Manila’s Chinatown district ([[Kalesa In Binondo]]). The title track [[Ithaca]] recalls Odysseus, a bowman himself.

Hello everynyan! I'm konec0. Sometimes I do fanmusic. Sometimes that fanmusic ends up being non-Nepetaquest related (rare!) and finds its way on to the Fanmusic thread. This is not one of those songs. Near the start of this fanmusic album project orngjce223 asked for someone to remix MK_97's "Homestuck Title Theme", while incorporating more motifs from Homestuck's music. I decided sure why not? And then this song was born. So Beginnings is a remix of a remix, really. The original was a remix of "Skies of Skaia" - I added the motifs from "Homestuck" and "Alternia" because I felt they were representative of the kids' and the trolls' journeys respectively. I mean come on, the title is RIGHT THERE. So yeah. 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"). 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Downtime Artist: Thomas Ibarra Track Art: JNJ -Duration: 2:15 +Duration: '2:15' References: - track:showtime-piano-refrain - Showdown URLs: - https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/downtime - https://youtu.be/IKnJNJHty2U -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>SparksD2145:</i> My younger sister is responsible for my admiration of MSPA: she desrves the first line of this commentary, because she is awesome. Problem Sleuth has always held a place in my heart; with the rise of Homestuck, MSPA continues to be a beacon of awesome. I have never before been faced with such a preposterous amount of talent in any fandom, and the MSPA Community continues to grow and evolve in such a way that smashes through any "threshold" of artistic creativity. I am inspired, and wish to inspire. My knowledge in FL Studio is limited to what I have learned over the years in tinkering with it, to be honest. As such, my composition "Downtime" is actually pretty simplistic from a technical standpoint; my teachers have always told me, "the simpler, the better." I have always disliked this sentiment, but reluctantly I've come to understand the necessity of simplicity in my works. My sister - who wishes to be unnamed becuase "lol, internet" - was the mastermind behind this piece; I functioned as merely the interpreter to her excellent judgment. I was given the task of weaving Showtime and Showdown together, and my result became Downtime. Honestly, I never thought Downtime would receive as much attention as it has, let alone its own place in an awesome fan-music album alongside (in my opinion) better artists than myself. I'm grateful that it's well received, and I hope to continue composing - even if only to inspire those that listen. Thanks, MSPA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Doctor (Deep Breeze Mix) Artist: Solatrus Track Art: august -Duration: 4:36 +Duration: '4:36' References: - track:doctor Art Tags: @@ -103,17 +103,17 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/doctor-deep-breeze-mix - https://youtu.be/L25OBcThKc8 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> I started reading Homestuck in mid January of 2010, but never really found myself absolutely hooked. So, I really took my time getting through it, especially Acts 1 and 2. By the time I had gotten to the start of Act 4, I was a month behind in the story. However, just hearing Doctor for the first time completely blew me away, as I'm quite sure MANY fans reacted. The first thing I did? Started making a fan remix. I didn't want to work on it for too long, but I figured I should register and post what I had on the MSPA Forums. It was called a "First Pwnst" by Dacen, and brought the Music Team's very own Perry Sullivan (perrybob) "to tears."

When we first meet her in the Hivebent act, she's an emotionless ghost who later becomes a ghost frog, then a ghost in a robot body (or a "ghost in the shell" :rimshot:), before making her final sea change into a cheerful fairy god with time powers (which explains the ticking and subtle reverse melodies of the song, at least). The peppy piano and melancholy backing strings and woodwinds represent these aspects of Aradia's presonality - accustomed to death, she acts as a cheery Charon for her fallen teammates. I built the piano melody (and the title) out of Alex Rosetti's "Crystalanthemums" because to me, ever since [[flash:2578]], the tune has been irrevocably linked to the trolls, Aradia, Terezi, and Vriska in particular. It also translated to a peppy piano melody much better than Toby Fox's "[[psych0ruins]]" would have. This song is also an homage to Michiru Yamane's impressive body of soundtrack work for the various Castlevania games. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Land of Wind and Shade Artist: Kristian Anderson Contributors: Eston Schweickart (mixing) Track Art: melodiousDiscord -Duration: 3:17 +Duration: '3:17' Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/the-land-of-wind-and-shad - https://youtu.be/nFAMTC_I-Ns -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Kristian Anderson:</i> The cool blue landscape of LOWAS, with its winding rivers of oil and bio-luminescent sky, has always been one of my favourite pieces of imagery from the Homestuck Universe.

I brought it up when we were trying to hash out some Troll leitmotifs and instruments for the Hivebent Radioplay (remember when that was a thing?) It was for Eridan(!) I guess I liked the idea of him pining over a giant pipe organ cause he thought that's what evil guys are supposed to do whenever they get scorned, by girls usually. I myself felt the sick sting of scorn when Dacen suggested an accordion or French horn might suit Eridan better. WELL FUCK YOU DACEN. LoWaA was the last in a series of 12 short songs I made for the Troll Planets. It was actually revealed a solid 4 or 5 months after the other 11, so I really wanted to make it stand out as the big finale of my (kind of pointless) musical excursion. I'm also lazy though so I just rehashed an old melody I had lying around. Then I threw in some rocking guitar and pounding drums and angry synths and called it a day. At some point I realized that the initial melody kind of gets lost in the balance, so I repeated it at the end all clear and pretty-like with harps and clarinets, which actually turned out to be my favourite part of the song, so yay. Mud Fact: I wrote the second part of the melody when I was 12 and trying to play the Castlevania 4 theme by ear. I was kind of dumb when I was 12. <i>melodiousDiscord:</i> LoWaA was the first piece where I started to get creative. I saw a really cool looking LoWaA on DevArt and wanted to replicate the gothic atmosphere it created with the same color scheme. So I came up with this.

The lyrics came from Something Awful, and the music is from a midi that Tynic scrounged up from somewhere. Someone at the Penny Arcade MSPA thread mentioned having seen a supercalifrag parody at Something Awful, and after Googling I found the lyrics, and decided to try my hand at it. Tynic volunteered her voice, and after she got the midi accompaniment, we bounced back and forth with it until it was the right key and speed. From there she recorded her part and I did mine, etc. To this day, I don't really like listening to myself in this song, I just don't think it came out how I wanted it. That doesn't seem to matter to everyone else, though. I never imagined it could have taken off like it did, but it very quickly spread and apparently became a thing. I'd always hoped that I'd eventually come out with some Homestuck thing that would be well remembered by the fans.

Explore forever has an association with ectobiology because the scene where it plays in Descend is of Egbert sending babies onto meteors. For the album, I added reverb onto the orginal, which I felt was a little too dry due to being recorded with an acoustic-electric guitar plugged directly into a mixer.

The bells worked to set the atmosphere while piano handled melody. Then everything got doused in reverb. So much reverb. Maybe the reverb has reverb. But voila. This is one of my favorites from before I was on the music team. <i>catastrophicGenesis:</i> So many layers, so much transparency, but I think it worked out quite well.

The inspiration from Professor Layton, drawing from video game themes, also affected my choice to make this loop(able). House of Lalonde was always intended from the start to be the theme for some sort of home. Orginally, it was going to be for Doc Scratch's study... but the only reason that never happened was because I couldn't find the right organ sound (the kind you hear in [[Scratch]]).

I wrote the beginning of a song at the beginning of Hivebent called Lusus' Lament. It was supposed to be like a [[track:chorale-for-jaspers|Chorale for Jaspers]] but for the trolls' custodians. This was before I even knew Alternia was in the works. After hearing psych0ruins I loved those beginning arpeggios and crying effect. So when Rad mentioned the idea of having troll planet themes, I jumped at the chance of making one for Aradia. I used the beginning to Lusus' Lament and then combined it with those beginning arpeggios and the first phrases of psych0ruins. Aradia's planet is the Land of Quartz and Melody, so I ran with the music box motif and added glockenspiel for a crystal-esque noise. The beginning section is kind of like what Sburban Jungle is to Rose. Music to add to her trying to enter the medium. There is a pause as she succeeds and enters and the mood of the music shifts completely. The second half builds more of the Quartz feel. The title is because Nick thought we should have a foreign name. <i>umibouzu:</i> I picked up "L'état de L'ambivalence" before I knew what it was about. When I found out it was an Aradia land theme, I kind of panicked.

So I guess I stole that. They probably weren't brothers though on account of how one was blue and the other was a robot I think. Lemmings had an influence too, which is to say that's where I stole those high-pitched bleeps from. I didn't even think to use Beatdown for the melody until I had prety much built the rest of the song around it. I had an old midi (by Tenebrais I think) and started goofing around trying to play it out in a major key and it fit pretty well sooooo that's that story. Also I have no idea what record scratching actually sounds like so I just downloaded a bunch of cheesy "dj sound fx" and tried to make a cool rhythm out of them. That little breakdown in the middle is supposed to be Bro playing a line and then Dave answering. Then they trade off some more. Then they both start playing at the same time, like back to back or something cool like that, and then it goes back to the main melody. Did I make that obvious enough? Maybe I should've made Bro a bit louder in the left speaker and Dave a bit louder in the right.

When I create music I tend to visualise very specific scenes which take place when it plays. Farewell was originally intended to accompany the scene where John discovered Mom and Dad were dead. At this point in the story it could have gone any way, so I started playing around and doing improvisations based around the Showtime theme, being a theme central to John. After messing around some more for a while I realised that a more bittersweet touch worked better though, and that instead of being used for lamenting, in my minds eye the piece seemed to fit something more akin to a goodbye, such as a scene displaying the kids and trolls parting ways. <i>melodiousDiscord:</i> This piece is based on what I hope will happen (still). After joining forces to defeat Jack, the kids' ultimate reward is unlocked and the trolls either go back to their won world, or accompany the kids. John is the last to leave and you can see the shadows of Terezi and Karkat. John gives a final wave before stepping through the door, Karkat gives a last farewell gesture in response. A bittersweet ending indeed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ~ Heir - Seer - Knight - Witch ~ Artist: Joe Griffith Track Art: kayak -Duration: 7:59 +Duration: '7:59' References: - track:doctor - track:endless-climb @@ -1214,23 +1214,23 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/heir-seer-knight-witch - https://youtu.be/YT2a2jI8_Yo -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Joe Griffith:</i> Generally speaking, it's fairly uncommon to find a Remix or Arrangement authored by me; I much prefer to write from scratch, using my own material. However, one stormy winter night as I slept curled up in my cave, the spirit of a great troll came to me... Hold on, I think I have the wrong story. Anyway, shortly before Christmas, a friend of mine suggested in passing that perhaps I could put my musical talents to some practical use in the context of Homestuck, which he'd recently managed to convince me to read and I'd become instantly hooked on. We tossed around a few ideas and eventually came up with the idea of stringing together the land themes of the four kids to create some sort of medley. Unfortunately it was a fairly busy time for me, with lots of projects requiring my immediate attention. However, as Christmas approached, I made the decision to inform all my clients that I would be taking time off writing music for a few weeks to "celebrate the holidays", which in actual fact resulted in the creation of this arrangement!

Around this time I was still really just a budding musician, and I wanted to make something heavy out of the Showtime theme by Malcolm Brown. The idea was imagining what kind of soundtrack would be backing the kids as they face Lord English in a climactic battle. I was proud of it at the time but in retrospect it never really aged that well. Despite this it remained one of my most popular works. Around the time I finished [[Rust Maid]] and [[Orange Hat]], I was approached for the inclusion of the remix in LOFAM2. While I was happy to have the opportunity to give people the download so many of them clamored for, I really, really had to fix so many of its glaring issuse, and as such I remastered it for the album. <i>devonianecho:</i> Showtime has always been one of the most memorable pieces of music in Homestuck, forever representing a (if not the) quintiessential "strife" theme. With this in mind, I think I had almost too much freedom in choosing the conflict I wanted to depict in this piece. Initially, I was going to make it John vs. Dad from Act 1... but that ended up being a little too underwhelming in comparison to the song it was for. So, in the end, I settled upon focusing the piece on a determined-looking John about to face down the underling horde at the beginning of Cascade. I'm pretty happy with the end result. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Soulb0t Artist: Charles Neudorf Track Art: Somnivus References: psych0ruins -Duration: 3:42 +Duration: '3:42' Art Tags: - Aradia URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/soulb0t - https://youtu.be/3d0jm_sPD9A -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Charles Neudorf:</i> Soulb0t was conceived after I tried writing the familiar Psych0ruins apreggio to test out a new synth I downloaded.

This was what I was originally going to use for the fan album, but I decided to drop it half way through making it on the grounds that it didn't sound like a Homestuck song. Jack Noir (and by extension, Bec Noir) always struck me as a tragic character. The way I see it, he's always violent because of the abuse he receives from the black queen. He's physically shut down all other emotions save for hatred because as far as he's concerned, there is no such thing. However things change for him when Bec becomes prototyped. He suddenly has a heart and has new feelings. Bec's influence taught him what it's like to feel for someone else, although Jack desperately tried so hard to ignore these feelings. When Jade died, Jack finally knew what it felt to lose someone so close to your heart. A tragic character indeed... <i>Corrina:</i> Given the fact that the song references Jade's theme, I thought that I'd go with something that has to do with the characters' relationship. in the picture, I had originally intended Jade to be a sort-of ghost image, as if she wasn't really there. I wanted to show that Jack was alone, but I later changed that aspect, despite how much I loved the idea.

And I wanted to show that sort of unity and friendship the kids have, even after all they've been through. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Jade Aubade Artist: Trent West Track Art: nappotuna -Duration: 3:59 +Duration: '3:59' Art Tags: - Jade URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/jade-aubade - https://youtu.be/NHjYM56U2os -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>nappotuna:</i> Listening to the song, I immediately wanted to do something involving Jade doing something cool.

I'd never made anything as complex as Indigo Archer bfeore and on top of that I had massive anxieties about getting into the competition. I was stressed out! So Blood Knight nearly never happened. About a week before the music contest ended, I was talking to my best friend and he said he thought I could make a kickass song for Karkat. I didn't really believe him at first. Karkat is one of my favourite characters and I didn't feel confident about capturing him at all. But my friend persisted and threw a few ideas at me. Eventually I found myself in Cubase making music again with my best friend to thank for it. Immediately, I knew it needed electric guitars. That was problematic for me as I'd never, ever gotten synthesized guitars to sound halfway decent before. Heck, I'm still not entirely sure how I managed it, but I'm super happy with how it turned out. The feel of it matches what I was going for; not quite metal, not quite a ballad, kind of melancholy but also kind of in your face. Sort of. You might be able to tell that I had an easier time making it than describing it, heh. Pretty darn proud of this piece. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: In The Shadow of a Fractured Sun Artist: Artisticpolo Track Art: megalovriska -Duration: 4:44 +Duration: '4:44' Art Tags: - Aradia - Sollux URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-shadow-of-a-fractured-sun - https://youtu.be/Mu93RembYqM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Artisticpolo:</i> Initially a [[track:frost-vol6]] remix but it became something else. The square-wave arpeggio that you hear is probably the only thing that is now reminiscent of that remix. It was because of the harp that this grew into something different. I actually composed this while the composition was playing. I would listen to the notes I had composed, and I would just place new notes where I think they would work while listening. Somehow, everything just seemed to fit together - the violins, the synths, the percussion - everything just worked. The structure of this composition just flowed. I'm pretty sure this is one of my best pieces so far. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Red Miles Artist: David Dycus Track Art: Amethyst Barron -Duration: 2:25 +Duration: '2:25' References: - track:sburban-jungle Directory: red-miles-lofam2 Art Tags: - Jack Noir -- cw: blood -- cw: body horror +- 'cw: blood' +- 'cw: body horror' URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/red-miles - https://youtu.be/uYkKgHTi-S0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>David Dycus:</i> Red Miles was the first Homestuck song I ever completed, early in 2011. I had just installed a new copy of FL Studio after losing my old copy in a hard drive crash two years earlier. I imemediately threw together about five Homestuck songs in a desperate attempt to get on the music team. Shortly thereafter, I discovered about a thousand other fan musicians like myself (and also LOFAM I), and quietly accepted that I would never, ever be on an official Homestuck album. A year and a half later, Red Miles definitely sounds like a first attempt. My only objective was to try to make the most over-the-top, attention-grabbing chiptune-metal song I could muster, so I threw in every trope I knew: the pipe organ, the wall of 8-bit synths, the Inferno electric guitar patch, and the Sburban Jungle motif (which I would use many, many more times). It may have been a bit much, but it was a necessary first step. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Elegy for a Thief (Dreamscape Remix) Artist: Willow Ascenzo Track Art: Cap -Duration: 1:48 +Duration: '1:48' References: Spider's Claw Art Tags: - Vriska URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/elegy-for-a-thief-dreamscape-remix - https://youtu.be/dod8eS9-JMc -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Willow Ascenzo:</i> I wrote <i>Elegy for a Thief</i> back in August 2011, inspired by the evocative image of ghost-Vriska standing in the snow outside John's house. After re-arranging it into a solo piano piece, I sat on it for a while. Eventually I began to work on another remix, but forgot about it. Then the song was nominated for Land of Fans and Music 2, and I rushed to polish up the song now that I had better tools and more skill. But I'd lost the original file, and the only remaining part of the scrapped remix was the right-hand piano notes (luckily, those were the most important part of the song)! The new remix is exotic and a bit hypnotic, syumbolizing John and Vriska's journey through the surreal and fantastic memory-realms of the afterlife. <i>Cap:</i> Originally, I planned to do a sentimental image of Vriska standing in the snow, but it turned out pretty lame. Then I figured hey, since I'm making somethin for a fantastic song for an amazing troll, why not make the piece almost as gr8t as her? So the snow idea melted and turned into this bizarre, dreambubble-ish creation! Now imagine my surprise when I heard that Ascenzo later remixed the song and made it like 16,777,216 times cooler. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: We Won't Wander Alone Artist: Land of Ships and Music Track Art: tacostothenorth -Duration: 3:54 +Duration: '3:54' Art Tags: - WV - PM @@ -1165,7 +1165,7 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/we-wont-wander-alone - https://youtu.be/xFXXrQoAZs4 -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- PM: You have ensnared me with your democratic charm<br>And I know that together this land won't fall<br>I'd like to be the one hanging on this mayor's arm<br>We can rule these sands until the trees grow tall WV: Your royal quest has brought you here to me<br>From the golden castle in the night<br>and I would venture to call it destiny<br>and we dance beneath the fireflies' light Chorus: From Prospit to Derse<br>For better or worse<br>We won't wander alone<br>We'll find our new home<br>Here on this barren land<br>our love will fill these exiled sands<br>We won't wander alone @@ -1173,25 +1173,25 @@ Lyrics: WV: You have become my one and only queen<br>and your radiance has fully consumed my eyes<br>And you know I would never dare give up this scene<br>Even here beneath the blood red sky (Chorus) PM: And if you ever get hurt<br>I'll do whatever works<br>to bring you home to me<br>We won't wander alone -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Embittered Shore Artist: Max Wright Track Art: clumsyroyalty -Duration: 3:22 +Duration: '3:22' Art Tags: - Mobius Trip - Hadron Kaleido URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/embittered-shore - https://youtu.be/6NIkdexVdT4 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Max Wright:</i> I've always liked the idea behind Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, and the mysterious character canvas that the album brought across. So, from there, I wanted to contribute my own ideas of how MTaHK were represented, and ended up with Embittered Shore. I wanted the piece to have that 'Bowman' quality to it, while still refraining from outright copying his ideas off in any particular way - the heavy use of guitars and fleeting synths was my way of capturing the emotion that Bowman injects into his music, to bring across his characterization. Ultimately, the piece ends the way it started - it is a brief window through which the troubled characters may be projected and represented. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Ye Flarey Gentlemen Artist: Clark Powell Track Art: Dawn Davis -Duration: 2:46 +Duration: '2:46' References: - Flare - God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen @@ -1201,33 +1201,33 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/ye-flarey-gentlemen - https://youtu.be/AWWt9nhx6t0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Clark Powell:</i> This song was made at Christmas.

The main melody has some resemblance to the Black King's theme from [[Rex Duodecim Angelus]] by Malcolm Brown, but not enough to qualify as a remix or arrangement. <i>Ducky Senpai:</i> I initially had no idea what I was going to do for this song. I skimmed through the tracks and noticed this one by Willow Ascenzo (who did some of my favorites on coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A like [[Teal Hunter]] and [[Violet Mariner]]), and I was instantly sold probably because of my love for pipe organs. Anyway, for a lack of better inspiration, I used the description left on soundcloud - "Final battle with Lord English."

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?

The first Land of Fans and Music had two of my early songs on it, and I felt it was appropriate that I do my best and show how far I'd come in a year for the second album. "Ave Dei Novi" takes its cue, partially, from the bombastic and incredible Gundam Unicorn soundtrack by Sawano Hiroyuki, especially in the orchestra and percussion grooves, which I worked very hard on.

To try to do that, I threw a whole lot of reverb and delay at pretty much every track. I really did not know what I was doing, but it was fun. The vocal lines were an afterthought. Actually, no, they were less than an afterthought. They weren't actually something I thought I should include at all, but the assignment had a requirement of at least four recorded audio tracks. I threw those lines together at home on Cubase (I don't actually have a Mac, let alone Logic!) the morning the piece was drew it, slapped them onto the piece with Logic that day and got the assignment in just in time.

The song (and image, for that matter) both follow this concept of 'togetherness', no matter what may face them -- and you'll see that The Disciple keeps her promise, as she is found in our night sky beside the prophet Cancerian. <i>Brad Griffin:</i> Don't see much art or songs for the Ancestors.

I was surprised anyone remembered it enough to nominate it for Land of Fans and Music 3, but I suppose I should never underestimate people's willingness to dig years back through a fanartist's works. Anyway, like I said, it is very old and absolutely no mastering was used on it whatsoever (I'm scared to actually look at its waveform) since back then I didn't know what mastering was. The song ended up sounding quite beautiful, and I sitll think so today, despite my relative lack of skill. Of course, this track being so old, I'd long since deleted the original FL Studio project file during spring cleaning, so I didn't have access to any of the MIDI data (the same thing happened with [[Sign of the Scorpion]]). I couldn't even properly remaster the song since I no longer had a lossless source. That's why I made a brand-new arrangement of the piece for LOFAM 3 that captures the piece's ouriginal beauty and romantic feel while only adding to its richness and elegance. Both Dance of Thorns and Endless Climb are hinted at in the composition, and while there aren't any quotes from Alternia/Bound, the stately elegance of the piece is meant to recall Kanaya. <i>rosesarecrimson:</i> This was a piece where I had the concept from day one.

At the time this song was created, I had no recording equipment other than a mic on my webcam (and I actually used that same thing to re-record the vocals). Since the audio quality was incomprehensibly bad, I ended up messing around with equalization and limiting a lot, and because of that, I had to change the song to compensate. It went from a more acoustic song, to a song that used a lot of percussion, to even chiptune at one point. It finally settled on this pad-synth kinda' style, and I'd say I'm pretty pleased with that. Excluding the actual production, hte subject and title of the song, "Medium", really stood out to me while I was making it. The Medium holds all of the planets, all of the life, and all of the excitemnt of S___b. Actually, it holds everything that there is about the game. So, I wanted to make the song sound vast, but I also wanted it to be a bit more personal. Maybe "vastness of the mind" could be a good description.

As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to do a jazzed up remix of her theme. So for about two days, I transcribed the melody, worked out some chords, and did up a bassline and drumbeat. It was kind of weird working on this song, since I was using the unconventional 8/4 time rather than 4/4 time. The reason for this was to make the eight-note swing sound like sixteenth-note swing.

When I woke up, I begain thinking about what the dream could have meant. My conclusion was that I should probably listen to Trepidation some more. And I did. And it ended up becoming my favorite Homestuck song. About seven months later, I reminded myself about the fact that the LOFAM 3 project was probably about to start soon. Resolving to make a quality song before the selection process began, I decided to make a Trepidation rearrange, given that I practically knew all its notes by heart by then.

It doesn't quote any Homestuck themes (I don't believe the original did at all), except for a brief mention of Spider's Claw right at the end.

This piece was a huge undertaking that started back when I first played Eden sometime... last year I think? I really connected with James's piece, so much so that I made sure to let him know (and continue to let him know) how easy and intuitive it felt to play. I experimented with it, transitioning into psych0ruins, and then into Doctor. Being heavily inspired by Konec0's dance medleys, I thought to extend the piece, and extend it I did. Up until the Walk Stab Walk / Earthsea Borealis section was all ad lib'd on my piano, as I picked pieces I thought I could move between, and beyond there I wrote original scores straight into Sibelius which I could barely dream of playing. This piece developed into what you hear today, including the seret ending! I hope it moves you, as all of Homestuck's music has moved me. Enjoy listening to this 31 song medley! Some day I'll learn to play it. A 'quick' fact, I had planned to continue the Killed By 8r8k Spider section through over the top of the Unite Synchronization ostinato, but when I played back the section after the high G, stacatto F into the ostinato, I felt a powerful urge to just get straight back into the final version of Eden, which was written on whim straight into that 4/4 pattern and more fluidly in B minor.

I started with the drums, which were just an attempt to create a kit from scratch that I didn't entirely hate, plus a ton of reverb. Next came the atmospheric elements - the distorted tremolo synth, the piano, the echoing synth bleeps which to me are a signal intended to guide the player, decayed over the aeons the planet has waited for Dirk's arrival, and the nearly-metronomic hat-click to reinfore the senes that, now that he's here, his limited time is rapidly ticking away. Finally I tried a few string melodies for the middle section, but simply nothing says 'towering ancient remains of a lost civilization' as effectively as Erik Scheele's Ruins, so I stole it and added a sort of contrapuntal harmony underneath. And now I give it to you. <i>fueledbyanimation:</i> I was beyond excited to get to be part of another fan album, especially to be drawing for a song connected to Dirk's planet, since he's one of my absolute favorite characters. Every kid/troll's planet reflects them and also challenges them at the same time. LOTAK is one of the more dangerous planets, with its constant raging lightning storms and the most powerful denizen at its center, fitting for Dirk who is a determined, skilled fighter. The planet is also a contrast, a planet full of tall buildings for someone who grew up in an ocean surrounded by nothing. I really wanted to show LOTAK as an extension, or part of, DIrk himself. The song itself gives a sense of floating, or as the musi artist said themselves, a very spacey feeling, so I tried to capture this as well, with the overview shot of the planet that Dirk appears to be floating over.

This idea was, obviously, a total joke; nevertheless, we kept at it. The song ended up getting to a point where we realized the joke had been lost, and something awesome took its place. To put it simply, what started out as us dicking around ended up becoming one of the coolest songs we've done together. <i>devonianecho:</i> Doing art for a dance remix of Frost wouldn't have proved tricky if not for a perplexing (but very cool) track title. And so, here we have Jade and some frogs integrated as part of a... metaphoric-circuitboard-type-thing by Echidna. I think if you imagine the song set to a trippy frog-gathering montage on LOFAF with this imagery, you'll get a better idea of what I was aiming for. At any rate, I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I hope I've done the track the justice it absolutely deserves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Pirates of Alternia: Dead Troll's Chest +--- +Track: 'Pirates of Alternia: Dead Troll''s Chest' Artist: Willow Ascenzo Track Art: Ducky Senpai -Duration: 4:13 +Duration: '4:13' References: Cobalt Corsair, Violet Mariner Art Tags: - Mindfang URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/pirates-of-alternia-dead-trolls-chest - https://youtu.be/z2TOLOWdlGU -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Willow Ascenzo:</i> 0:00-0:14: An unassuming troll merchant ship sails the ocean, its precious cargo of shitty romantic comedy movies tucked safely within its lower decks, unaware of the danger that approaches. 0:14-0:24: A pirate ship suddenly appears from out of the fog, closing in fast!

I have no idea, but if it exists, I hope this sounds like it. This song is pretty important to me. Prior to completing it in March 2012, I had really only been making small loops in FL Studio that only had one or two instruments, save for two submissions I'd sent to the Homestuck fanmusic contest, which, while pretty good in terms of structure even by my standards today, didn't exactly have much to them in production value. But when I took it upon myself to rearrange Explore, that suddenly changed. I was extremely self-deprecative about it at first, but as I began to listen to it more, I realized that it didn't sound all that bad- in fact, it even sounded.. tolerable, compared to everything else I'd made. And that was essentially when I resolved to work on making my music sound even better. In fact, people liked it enough that it was nominated for LOFAM 3, no more than a year later. Having improved a lot by that time, I decided to touch it up a little, and this version is the result. I didn't really change all that much, besides adding and tweaking a few instruments, but I hope it sounds better nonetheless. <i>Lunise:</i> My interest in doing Homestuck fanart has waned over the past few months, but I will always have a soft spot for the exiles no matter what.

Frost and Clockwork is about the planets in the medium, and the things residing upon each one—hummingbirds, fireflies, cogs, falling snow. The comic discusses fate and determinism all the time, but I like to think about how it is to simply exist in this universe, without awareness of purpose or destination.

If anything, I'd say it was directly copied from Black, and that I did a mostly poor effort to recreate the style... Nonetheless, I did focus on trying to incorporate some transition points in the song where it would actually deviate from the original arrangement, and I suppose it works quite well even when it's not on paper. The main motif was taken from midnight suffers... A bluesy jazz type theme that was made with no real direction intended. This song is not necessarily "catchy", but at least it has direction and sounds good, which is always nice!

Thinking about it inspired me to make a song about the retcon; specifically, the introduction of John's powers, followed by the way they're used to save the entire timeline from its catastrophic doom. This time around, the game gets completed... but maybe the ending isn't so happy, as we're reminded there's still four kids trapped in the retcon juju, waiting endlessly for freedom in paradox space. Some trivia: this song was named after an update discussion thread on the old MSPA forums. Apparently, that thread was in turn named after a TVTropes page. Also, alongside a Homestuck Anthem quote at the end, the music box refrain featured throughout the song quotes the foley on Homestuck's title page. That's both because it's where the retcon arms first appear, and because I always wanted to reference those windchimes. Now you know! <i>William Leonard:</i> I've always loved the 'John's retocn adventures' section of Homestuck, and I think it has to do with how it leads both the characterts and myself along a brisk rollercoaster of twists and turns, through unknown paths - this sense of adventure is what I tried to convey in this art. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Formation Artist: Hadron Track Art: meigender -Duration: 3:43 +Duration: '3:43' Art Tags: - Caliborn URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/formation - https://youtu.be/dml3MDHvjmM -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Hadron:</i> This song is for Cool and New Webcomic, but I like it a lot and a lot of people like it too, so I want the world to see it.

You can't really see all that the future could hold. You couldn't take it, anyway. At the time I wrote this song it was mostly theorizing, but it's helpd up through the years (thankfully), so I took the chance to rework and record it for this album!

He was running the fan adventure Loftlocked at the time, and I'd supplied the comic with a lot of music in conjunction with Kurtis (who is also on this album! Check him out!) Pat had approached me to write a haunting refrain for a harp playing character, Eliza. This theme would eventually form part of several songs written by Kurtis and myself, and the most prominent of which, Lamental, was made into another song, Infinity's Lament. It is a fun, jovial melody that turns darker as Eliza becomes less sure of herself and her playing. However, in a Homestuck specific context, consider Rose playing the rain, plucking strings but quickly finding herself at odds with her own land quest. Who knows? The beauty of music is that you can make your own interpretations. <i>Circlejourney:</i> This track was initially left open to interpretation but being in contact with Veri, I asked him for a recommendation for its subject. Apparently, while Glide was oriinally composed for a fan adventure, the main motif features in a large and yet-unreleased track concerning Alt!Calliope. Veri ultimately decided that I should draw Alt!Calliope, which I was happy to, seeing as Calliope is my favourite character in Homestuck and in dire need of more fanart. We've only ever seen Alt!Calliope looking extremely grim in the comic so I thought it might be a nice change if I were to depict her in a more clement mood. Imagine her soaring through space, creating and destroying galaxies. I gave her wings just so that the illustration would remain relevant to the title of the piece. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Limelight Artist: psithurist Track Art: Jenny -Duration: 3:11 +Duration: '3:11' References: - The Lyrist - Flare @@ -422,30 +422,30 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/limelight - https://youtu.be/nHOzQpvGbHY -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>psithurist:</i> Limelight was made for the unfinished Act 8 fan continuation of Homestuck, and was used in the flash [S] Resolve.

This song is meant to be a theme for late-game PS, with the first half representing the over-the-top surrealism of Higgs Bonehead's sacrifice, and the second, the far more interesting rush to beat DMK. I pretty much spent the ages 10-12 listening to Daft Punk and Digitalism near-exclusively, and I think the influence shines through pretty clearly here. The second half is a slight nod to the rush of [S] Dirk: Unite and Synchronize, which I feel is stylistically similar to the pacing from the end of PS. <i>Elanor Pam:</i> The futility of a sacrifice, the chaos of a final battle, the wrath of an arbiter, the finding of love after death, the absolute ownage of a sharply written missive.

It was based on the hypothetical question "What if Rose went grimdark?" which was based off of a series of shitposts on the /r/homestuck subreddit. With this song, I tried to make it mirror the chain of events that occur to Rose before and after she goes grimdark in the comic. It starts off relatively simple, but quickly goes ominous and unsettling as she stares into the cueball in "Seer: Ask." Then suddenly the song explodes into a blistering drum-and-bass track with booming organs to tell you that, in fact, shit just got real. The song was meant to be reminiscent of "Your Best Nightmare" from Undertale, and I hope I was able to pull that effect off. The song concludes in much the same way it began as Rose, in her newly darkened state, flies into space. All things considered, I had a lot of fun making this song. This track received brand new art for its release on LOFAM4, courtesy of the talented Neiratina! With this song portraying Rose succumbing to the broodfester throes and going Grimdark, this art features Rose beginning to slip away to the eldritch Horrorterrors as well. WIth her wand gripped firmly in hand, Rose looks fiercely determined to destroy anything in her path. Her aura of golden is inexorably being snuffed out by the black tentacles that pour out of the image, even interfering with the designs in Rose's shrit and snaking their way into the background. Marked with jagged lines and dripping ink, this piece perfectly caputres Rose's last moments of innocence as she throws caution to the wind and turns herself Grimdark. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: My Lady Greensleeves Artist: Shandy Track Art: Shandy -Duration: 2:21 +Duration: '2:21' References: - Black Rose / Green Sun - Greensleeves @@ -478,46 +478,46 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/my-lady-greensleeves - https://youtu.be/0lfeOeIA4is -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Shandy:</i> Some ships may come and go, but Rosemary is forever.

At some point one of the later versions ended up getting accepted to LOFAM4, which was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, and so I wrapped up production. Some other facts about this song: Quite a bit of the unstrments (I'd say about 80% or so) are modifications of default Garageband synths/presets. This is the first song I've ever made that regularly causes audio overloads on my computer from just playback.

I was keen on having it be grand and sweepking—essentially, doing everything my initial remix did, except bigger and badder than ever before. To that end, I started tossing in some extra motifs and making the composition even mroe frantic than before, but I was keen on keeping the overall rhythm and classical-esque style of Scratch; it's been a very long time since the cueball-head was directly relevant, but it's important to remember that that's where so much started!

There's a nice contrast between the organic and textured forms of his suit and the precisely geometric shapes such as his cueball head, the triangle cutting through his chest, and the halo of squares over him.

You may remember him as the composer of [[track:sburban-jungle|Sburban Jungle]], one of the comic's most iconic songs, the angelic voice that captivated your ears in [[How Do I Live (Bunny Back in the Box Version)]], or maybe even as the "face of the fandom" for his famous Homestuck videos and convention appearances. What isn't as well-known is that he's also an incredibly hilarious individual with dozens of sketch comedy videos - often featuring his equally sidesplitting friend, Scott Stutzsman - and I wanted to bring these two worlds together. With the release of Volume 10 in June, and the resulting focus on the Homestuck music team, Bowman appreciation had a resurgence in the fandom (especially one particular video, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cqZlNGBcwA">Bowman's Credit Score</a>). I got caught up in the fervor as well, and made my first foray into music remixing to put together the first iteration of this tribute to Michael Bowman. The remix includes notable quotes or samples from every video that Michael Bowman and Scott Stutzman collaborated on, as well as many of their individual comedy videos. If you liked Bowman's Homestuck stuff, love comedy videos, or were just too damn intrigued by this song to stay out of the loop, I recommend giving <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoOnh0MiKsmJb0CsYOTzkihMcNSl6-ruw">the Stutzbows</a> (as I like to call their videos) a watch. Whether it's Scott singing you the jingle for his favorite breakfast cereal, Bowman informing you about his credit score (spoiler alert: it's 720), or both of them having some good, old-fashioned backyard fun, I'm certain there's something to enjoy for everyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Schrödinger's Harbinger Directory: schrodingers-harbinger Artist: Noisemaker Track Art: Benedict Ide -Duration: 2:21 +Duration: '2:21' References: - track:aggrieve - track:chorale-for-jaspers @@ -860,12 +860,12 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/schr-dingers-harbinger - https://youtu.be/n39rrqi8XPM -Credits: +Credits: |- <i>Noisemaker:</i> Initially from call and new 2: locomotif under the name Excess Express, I wanted Schrödinger's Harbinger to be Jasprose-themed to compensate for the lack of tracks in that category, as well as to make some additions to the original trakc. <i><b>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</b></i> I can't believe that Roxy thinks that Rose smothering herself in response to the heinous evils of Jasprose is so "wonderful".

Though the idea never came to be, he made a couple songs for it, which then languished on the main tab of our organization sheet. Reading through the list of semi-abandoned songs there, I convinced him to put it on our Volume 8, so it ended up with some 8-related action. At some point, either the LOFAM judges listened to the album and felt it was a standout track, or Xoro submitted it on his own. The latter is possible since right around then was when Lambda put out an open call on /r/homestuck for song submissions. Either way, Xoro felt the song could bei mproved, so the song as presented here is an even more polished version of the v8lume one. Relistening, many of the changes jump out. Right away you can tell some of the instruments have changed. (Enemy Approaching, the Undertale song, is still an obvious compositional inspiration, even though the instrumentation being less electronic makes this version less similar in that sense.) Some of the mixing is better and more punchy, a skill that Xoro excels at. Terezi's theme opens the bridge, after which the song contains new composition. Returning to the original motifs of the song after the bridge, it continues to put a new spin on them. I never cease to be impressed by the musical improvements of my friends in the Homestuck fanmusic community. And I'm glad that in a managerial role, I can facilitate others' improvement.

My first piece of Homestuck fan music, my first time composing for an ensemble of orchestral instruments, and the uh... second song I ever wrote in a digital audio workstation. I read Homestuck in a feverish marathon in the Fall of 2010 while taking a class about playing in a rock band and recording music (my high school was very cool). Around that time, I'd also been sequencing MIDI files in Anvil Studio (a program which was also the genesis of Bowman's MIDI experience), and had only recently discovered that Logic also had MIDI sequencing capabilities. After falling madly in love with the Homestuck soundtrack, I had an epiphany to the tune of "holy shit, I know how to make stuff like that!" and Atomyk Clockwyrk was thus the result. I've come a long way since then, but it's a testament to the quality of Logic Pro's stock library that I managed to make it sound this good with minimal knowledge of production. A little volume automation, slap a limiter on top (not even Logic's wonderful Adaptive Limiter?

Around this time, a couple of us on the Vol. 10 project decided to have some fun with the speculation and put together a fake version of the album to "leak" to the fans, so we gathered a few WIPs that'd been cut from Vol. 10 and arranged them at the beginning of the album for an illusion of Authenticity™.

The items in question, the socks, are lying in plain sight. However, there is an unintended turn. Sweet Bro spins off into a monologue, nay, a soliloquy as to the nature of socks and marijuana consumption. Hella Jeff did not forsee this consequence. But he does not hesitate to capitalise, fulfilling his desire nonetheless. The vehicle in possession, the theme of walking backwards into the future is rendered physically manifest, with the metaphor of reversing Sweet Bro's car into a large body of water outside the companions' lakeside property. This is the point from which I drew my inspiration for my illustration. This is the now. This is the moment. Where is Hella Jeff going? He knows not. There is dramatic irony here: we, the readers and long-time followers of Dave Strider's work know full well what will unfold: nothing, ad infinitum. But Hella Jeff is living in the moment: he HAS the car. He knows not what awaits him. He makes eye contact with you, slyly breaking the fourth wall. Almost... beckoning. Come with me, he says.

It's a track about Crowbar, but more specifically Crowbar's crowbar. Its long chronology goes nearly entirely under the radar, as does the smooth green mobster named after it. Think of this track as a means towards rectifying that. The song was made with a particular narrative in mind, with each section of the song signifying another step in the juju's journey. Crowbar leads the Felt on Alternia, crowbar in hand. Slick steals the crowbar and opens the Felt vault, distorting spacetime. Kurloz finds the crowbar in a memory and hands it to Gamzee. The meteor reaches B2, and the crowbar is given to B2 Jack Noir. He destroys his prison, then fights some kinds and himself on top of a building. He and the crowbar are sucked into a black hole. The juju is thus brought to a dead Earth. Gamzee again hands the crowbar to his lord, Caliborn. With the crowbar in his possession, Caliborn trudges through his Sburb session, planet by planet. He builds an ensemble of loyal leprechaun people, including Crowbar himself. Finally, the crowbar is given back to Crowbar, who will later lead the Felt on Alternia. With so many diverging timelines in the intermission alone, we are left to guess whether the cycle will repeat again, or be cut off. <i>Griever:</i> You know, the great thing about Homestuck is that a lot of panels are so iconic that Hussie more or less traces over them to make a new panel, and it still looks great, and people love him for it.

Perhaps you're wondering why someone would release a track on CaNMT, before putting it on LoFaM, but that was due to my joining LoFaM after this song was published. I worked on this song for nearly 2 months, so the production was a pretty complicated process - but at least I could finish it. It doesn't matter how long it took, what matters is that it's done. Originally, using pianos wasn't a part of my plan - the step before it was to use violins and Pavellion strings, because violin is Rose's instrument. But I couldn't pull it off so I switched to extremely romantic pianos midway through production.

It's also intended as a left hand practice piece so the left hand is much busier than in most of my other work! <i>Sozzay:</i> This idea came to me after scrapping a few rought drafts. Originally I planned for an artwork starring an original hero, but decided to change it to something involving John because his associated instrument is a piano. It was a difficult piece to draw, but I am very happy with the finished result and feel I created something really dynamic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Wicker Kingdom Artist: Kurtis Burton Track Art: PatManDX -Duration: 3:58 +Duration: '3:58' References: White King Art Tags: - WQ @@ -2402,18 +2402,18 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/wicker-kingdom - https://youtu.be/ZawHf_JbItw -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>PatManDX:</i> RND and I used to collaborate on projects years ago so we've become very familiar with the other's work.

The song felt very grand and frenetic, while giving a sense of regality and awe, so I did my best to capture those feelings into the track art. I knew that I had to put in the White King as the main focus on the picture, since the song is a remix to a certain other song. There is a great emphasis on texture and desaturated colors, to help make the piece feel almost ilke a worn tapestry. I added a bloom filter to add to this effect. <i><b>Kal-la-kal-la:</b></i> <i>Musing upon the king and my brother's wreck, and upon the king my father's death before him.

At the time, I think I was mainly excited about the track’s aggressive time signature changes. Over the years, I’ve assembled a laundry list of things I’d change in the piece if I were to start again from scratch. But I’m still proud of the original product, and grateful for the reception thus far. I feel content with this being my last major contribution to the HS fanmusic space. For the time being. Many of the motifs and quotes in this track are lifted from CANMT tracks. What a fun group!

Originally, I started out with the intention to do a remastered and updated version of my track “[[The Puppetmaster]]” from our previous release [[album:friendsymphony|Friendsymphony]], but slowly, I came to realize that the remaster kind of sucked, and all traces of it were eventually wiped from this track. The intro (can you call it in intro if it’s more than half the song?) came to me about half a year after the main body of the song, it was the first thing I ever recorded vocals for, and may well be the last. Not much point in putting lyrics down though, cause all they are is “ooOOOOooo”. I was listening to a lot of Colin Stetson’s music during the time I made it so that probably played some influence in it. Then another half year after that I replaced the main body of the song too, because after listening to it with fresh ears, it was kind of a discordant mess. I kept the original idea behind [[The Puppetmaster]], a distorted mix of [[WORST END|Worst End]] and [[English]], but that’s about it. I might release that version eventually, but it won’t be on this album. This was some of the first non-pixel digital art I ever did, and for that, I think it turned out pretty well.

While I had a lot of fun making that album, over the years I've come to regard its composition and instrumentation as somewhat amateurish; I was still rather new to Famitracker, the software I used to make all those songs. While I had at one point wanted to remake the entire album using the chiptune skills I know today, the only song I ever ended up remaking was "[[Madame Controversielle]]", the album's song for Vriska. The remake was put on the CANMT album "troleplanet", and the reasoning behind its title was simply to take the original one and slap a 2 on it! So yes, there is indeed a Madame Controversielle 1, but I really don't get why you would want to listen to it over this version. <i>Gryotharian:</i> I’m not sure about how this one turned out.

And while the rest of the track is wonderful in its own right, it’s never stuck in my brain quite as much. So the idea with this track was to attempt in my own flawed way to extend those first 45 seconds into a full track, and for the most part the way I chose to do that was to work in pieces of [[The Thirteenth Hour]] (along with adding in some original stuff). Hope you guys like it! The title is in reference to a baker’s dozen (13), which alludes to the use of [[The Thirteenth Hour]].

A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date.

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. <i>Makin:</i> This amazing redux version of the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Colours and Mayhem: Universe A]] track was hidden away in the musician’s <a href="https://103records.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a>, known to few.

Like Moonshine it still has a soft spot in my heart. It’s not as compositionally impressive in my opinion, but it was the first in a long line of quirky tracks I have made for Homestuck. The vibraphone and electric organ were incredibly fun to use, and the whole thing ended up having an Elfman/Kirkhope vibe to it. Now, I don’t have synesthesia, but for some reason whenever I think about this song, I think “green”. Just some useless trivia for you. Looking back on Drawing Dead as a whole, do I think it was a good album? No, not really. It was good for us at the time, but it was so all over the place, almost completely devoid of mastering, many of the songs used inferior samples, and most of us just weren’t as experienced with composing back then. Mostly it was a case of having no centralized idea of what the style of music should be, and the clashes that followed. I don’t mean that to knock any of us in any way. It was an important step for all of us as musicians and we have been constantly improving since then. I still look back fondly at it, since it was my first ever album release, after all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Ante Matter Artist: Mark Hadley -Duration: 2:33 +Duration: '2:33' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ante-matter-2 - https://youtu.be/2uYFtCSxoPk -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Mark Hadley:</i> It's hard to find things to say about this one.

They were actually made based on a short fruity loop that The Big Man Andrew did, called haunt.wav or haunt.mp3 or something like that. A jam on his theme, logically, would therefore be called "hauntjam," with the opportunity for naming puns including "hauntjelly." His theme appears mostly unchanged as the bassline for the first part of the pieces. At this point in terms of instrumentation, we were still mostly striving for faithfulness to the canon Midnight Crew "band," as can be seen in <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000018.html">the Extras page</a> wherein the MC fill 'em with midnight (bottom), so Hauntjam employs trombone, string bass, piano, clarinet, and sax (I forget which because I've lost the file and am not a band person, but I think it was alto). From there on, it was fairly straightforward to write a haunting refrain and then solos for each instrument. I will admit I got a little writerblock'd for the second part, which was sort of a brief modulation to the dominant, so it sounds a little strange. But it still has its own little charm, with the almost annoying trill put in for a spooky ghost-like effect. In Hauntjam, Bowman did some good stuff with bringing out moving parts in the first refrain. In Hauntjelly, Xerxes emphasizes the spookiness by changing instruments for more electric organ. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Carbon Nadsat / Cuestick Genius Artist: Robert J!

I so wish we had done more with this concept. Since the very beginning of Homestuck, Andrew had this idea that the kids would have fake bands they were into, and we would make MySpace band pages with a few of their songs on them as a fun supplement to the comic, in the same spirit as <a href="https://dstrider.blogspot.com/">dave strider’s blog</a> or <a href="https://www.homestuck.com/sweet-bro-and-hella-jeff">SBaHJ</a>. <s>(both of which I would link to if tumblr wasn’t bugging out right now and preventing me from doing so)</s> The first one was the Midnight Crew, and Andrew made the cover art before anything else happened, if I recall correctly. That project hung around for a while until the Midnight Crew Intermission, when Andrew decided to expand the “fake band” idea and release our MC as a full album on bandcamp, along with the Homestuck Volumes. Incidentally, I believe Squarewave and Sawtooth were originally going to be a fake band as well, and Dave even had a poster of them on his wall. Reeeaaally wish we did that one, but oh well. At least we got Anbroids. In light of the fact that the Midnight Crew were going to have a real album and that I had just rejoined the team, I was eager to contribute to it. The first song I made for it was Moonshine, which strangely enough to some I’m sure, I still consider one of my better Homestuck tunes, if only technically. Yeah, the instruments I used were atrocious, but I think it would be a fun piece if it were actually played by people. I had a good idea of its form and I was really able to get into the style of music I perceived the Midnight Crew would play. The instrumentation was based off the instruments each character played, with Slick on piano, Droog on sax, Boxcars on bass, and the last one I changed from Deuce’s oboe to clarinet, which is seen much more in jazz. Not that jazz oboe doesn’t exist! Still, it seems very like CD to play jazz on such an instrument. The song itself is more dissonant than most Homestuck music, having a lot of clashing harmonies and tritones which I love but can understand a lot of Homestuckers probably don’t, at least not in this context. The name “Moonshine” came out of how drunk the music sounds, especially in the middle where it picks up a bit and is more obviously in 6/8.

During the time I was initially formulating a concept for a fake band during the summer of 2010, I thought it would be interesting to do something with a nautical theme. One night as I was falling asleep, I very vividly imagined a melody and accompanying refrain “my heart so full of love”, which I sketched and eventually transformed into “my heart lies with the sea” to fit the concept. Ultimately I ditched the nautical theme for the band after Squiddles! Sing-along came out and resolved to develop the concept that became Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido with Tavia.

I drew farily heavily from the sensibilities of Gorillaz in chosing synthesizer sounds on tracks like “Rhinestone Eyes” and “El Mañana” and also pretty closely studied the mix on Daft Punk’s “Something About Us”, a down tempo track I greatly admire. The thing that most strongly made me feel comfortable using this track on Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido was its inspiration from dreams and the sense that it generally echoed the thought of being swept away in a wave as mentioned in “Dawn of Man” earlier on the album. Originally I even recorded an alternate lyric to the melody of “Sburban Jungle” to open the second verse which I ditched that went as follows: “Down, down far below, somewhere safe/ Lost in the wave once again.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Chain Of Prospit -Duration: 4:37 +Duration: '4:37' Art Tags: - Mobius Trip - Hadron Kaleido URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/chain-of-prospit - https://youtu.be/c9XA_P5g_4w -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Hold up<br>Before your hopes and dreams are sold up<br>You haven't failed yet don't hold up<br>Don't cut the tape before it's rolled up<br>You've always got a chance Rock it<br>And if the picture isn't clear just shop it<br>You're swinging by the chain of Prospit<br>The future's always there so pop it<br>Back into its place You've got a reason to live<br>Got a reason to live<br>No matter what you say<br>No matter what you take away<br>There's always something you can give<br>And buddy that's the reason<br>That you've got a reason to live<br>Got a reason to live<br>Don't care what you've been through<br>Don't care what people think of you<br>There's always something you can do<br>And no one knows it better than you @@ -151,24 +151,24 @@ Lyrics: Reversal, all matter and its great dispersal<br>The secrets of the universal<br>This isn't just a dry rehearsal<br>We're living for today You've got a reason to live<br>Got a reason to live<br>No matter what you say<br>No matter what you take away<br>There's always something you can give<br>And buddy that's the reason<br>That you've got a reason to live<br>Got a reason to live<br>Don't care what you've been through<br>Don't care what people think of you<br>There's always something you can do<br>And no one knows it better than- You've got a reason to live<br>Got a reason to live<br>No matter what you say<br>No matter what you take away<br>There's always something you can give<br>And buddy that's the reason<br>That you've got a reason to live got a reason to live<br>Don't care what you've been through<br>Don't care what people think of you<br>There's always something you can do<br>And no one knows it better than you<br>And no one knows it better than you<br>And no one knows it better than you -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pumpkin Tide -Duration: 3:31 +Duration: '3:31' Art Tags: - Hadron Kaleido URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-tide - https://youtu.be/lyxw3e3RvzE -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Destroy your desk, it's useless now<br>Build yourself a fort to hide<br>Close your eyes and crawl inside<br>You're sailing on the pumpkin tide The ship you're on is yours alone<br>The wind will push your sweet sweet ride<br>But this foreign wave just appearified<br>You're sailing on the pumpkin tide Focus on the sound of my voice<br>You are under my control<br>Obey my will or I'll bury you alive<br>And it's you who'll dig your own damn hole Forget your friends, what good are they<br>Suckers filled with words that chide<br>Heads green with envy but orange with pride<br>Screaming at that pumpkin tide Listen to their whispering voice<br>The current where the pumpkins roam<br>You never saw a thing<br>Never saw the thing you think you saw<br>Just shadows looking for a home The door into your heart is locked<br>Its [gun] is buried in your mind<br>Too heavy to carry but too huge to leave behind<br>Without it you will surely die<br>But even that's just another lie<br>Sailing on the pumpkin tide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Deeper You Go -Duration: 3:36 +Duration: '3:36' References: - track:sburban-jungle Art Tags: diff --git a/album/moons-of-theseus.yaml b/album/moons-of-theseus.yaml index afc649dd..a99537cf 100644 --- a/album/moons-of-theseus.yaml +++ b/album/moons-of-theseus.yaml @@ -3,25 +3,25 @@ Cover Art: Nick Tucker Wallpaper Art: Nick Tucker Banner Art: Nick Tucker Banner Dimensions: 1100x203 -Wallpaper Style: +Wallpaper Style: |- opacity: 0.35; filter: grayscale(0.4); Date: June 8, 2019 Date Added: January 12, 2021 -Color: #ffec14 +Color: '#ffec14' Groups: - Unofficial MSPA Fans - Fandom URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/album/moons-of-theseus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Home Artist: Grace Medley, SplitSuns Track Art: ricemilk Contributors: - Ucklin (vocals) - WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES (vocals, additional guitar) -Duration: 10:25 +Duration: '10:25' References: - Forever - Dawn of Man @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ References: Art Tags: Hadron Kaleido URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/home -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- O darling, what have we become?<br>Has all been said, has all been done?<br>And after all that we’ve been through<br>Am I still me, are you still you?

Fitting, too, that it's named for the paradox in which every piece of an object is replaced gradually until it has nothing physically in common with its original state. The idea for Home we had back then is nothing like what you hear now. SplitSuns and I didn't know what we wanted back then, beyond "Oh hey, you want to make a tribute to Forever? Me too!" It's safe to say that little to none of that initial desire to reimagine Mobius Trip's overture has bled through into the finished product, but it's safer still to say that this song wouldn't be possible if it had been approached any other way. That's not the only thing that's changed in the meantime, either: since we initially promised to collaborate on this, we've both improved as composers and producers, and our styles have evolved, our influences are different, and the zeitgeist of what it means to be a Homestuck fan, particularly a Homestuck music fan, is practically unrecognisable. For me, making Home was one hell of an experience. I taught myself a lot of new techniques while co-writing and co-producing it, and I'm proud of it in a way I've never been proud of anything else before. Much like the song itself, I'm no longer the same weedy, slightly annoying kid who made a bunch of tracks on [[album:weird-puzzle-tunes]]. That kid couldn't dream of making something like this. Strictly speaking, I couldn't either. This was a team effort with one of the best friends I've made through UnofficialMSPAFans. So a huge thank you to SplitSuns for pushing this song to its maximum potential is in order, as is another to our two fantastic vocalists, Ucklin and WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES. I also want to thank all of the friends I've made through Homestuck music, and by extension, the comic itself. I don't think I'd still be making stuff with this project without your love, kindness, and good humour. @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ Commentary: I honestly can't recall exactly when the first time Grace and I discussed our love for Forever was, or when that love transformed into making a full-blown tribute, but over the many, MANY months, our pact to realize our emotions in song finally came to fruition. This is the first time I've done such a large-scale collaboration, and it's safe to say that it exceeded all my expectations. Neither of us thought that a track tributing a three minute opener would turn into a multi-part 10:25 epic, but life tends to have ways of surprising you. It wasn't easy balancing the track's complexities, which is why I was beyond grateful to have Grace help out with organizing things. This song would not be what it is without her; it wouldn't even exist at all, really! Her skills cannot be overstated. The first components of the song were completed by Grace. She wrote and composed the lyrics for the vocal section, and produced the majority of the guitar breakdown/climax towards the end of the track. From there we planned a road map of the song's progression to link together what had been completed: an ambient intro similar to Forever, a transition to lead into the vocal section, the vocal section, another transition to lead to the climax, the climax, and then an ending. I produced the majority of the intro and first transition, with Grace providing additional production and WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES playing live guitar! My goal was to create a composition with the same sense of scale and drama as Forever while having a unique mood, playful and hopeful all at once. I produced the vocal section to match Grace's songwriting, with additional production from Grace; MINES' lo-fi strains contrasted with Ucklin's ethereal melodies very nicely, right on top of a groove I never anticipated coming out of the project. The second transition was done entirely by Grace, bridging the gap between the dance that came before and the cinematic breakdown coming after. Finally, I provided additional production on the climax and created the ending. We wanted something like, in Grace's words, "the digital-age counterpart to the end of Have a Cigar." The result was a little bit more violent than that, but it provides a thrilling conclusion to the experience all the same, jettisoning off into the Incipisphere. The varied parts of Home take you by the hand and guide you on a journey throughout time and space. It is my belief that by listening, you're taking the same journey Grace, myself, and all the other creatives involved in this album took in the process of making the project a reality. It's been a long and winding road, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

That was the penultimate song on that album, and this is the second on this album. So in a way, they're like weird bookends. More to the point though, this song ended up as an unintentional but fortuitous continuation to the "voyage" brought up in Home, both physical and metaphysical. In literal terms the lyrics are about the crossing of humans along the Bering Strait, but another interpretation is that they're a reflection of a process all humans go through: the pursuit of a purpose, the satisfaction of completing a goal, and the perennial urge to find new things to do, new things to learn, to experience, to travel. It's a fundamental feeling, true from the dawn of you, to your last sail on the pumpkin tide. <i>Tipsy:</i> Naturally when everyone else is going for wild, creative concepts, I fall back on making it Homestuck... when I heard Cait's song it made me think of the Battlefield, and when I read the lyrics, I thought, what better thing to depict than the moment Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido look into the clouds for the first time and witness the secrets of the universe? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Unchained Artist: Kanishka Track Art: Skyplayer -Duration: 3:24 +Duration: '3:24' References: - Chain Of Prospit - The Deeper You Go - Amen, Brother URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/unchained -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Kanishka:</i> I've always had a soft spot for Chain of Prospit with its quirky lyrics and extremely uplifting chorus, so when the time came to start working on a tribute album it didn't take me long to decide which song I'd bastardize. A departure from MTAHK's mellow sound, Unchained ended up being rather frantic and abrasive, resembling something akin to an explosive release of all the suppressed emotions that have been bottling up inside one's heart for way too long - destruction of emotional shackles, in other words. As for Skyplayer's artwork, I think it compensates for what the song might be lacking in terms of depth. Vivid 3-dimensional imagery paired with vibrant colours definitely makes it stand out from other illustrations. <i>Skyplayer:</i> Chain of Prospit has always been one of my all-time favorite Homestuck songs.

All the songs, including a 12-hour "extended" version of Penumbra Phantasm, a rock opera made out of Michael Guy Bowman memes, and a sequel to the Baby is You, were painstakingly produced based on the ideas (and jokes) the track names suggested. Each song's length was the same as it was in the original image, and photoshopped reviews were even added on the album's page using dummy accounts! For my song (originally called "The Return of Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido") the team was planning on playing it straight and producing a medley of songs from MTaHK. I went with their idea and made a mega-mix of every song on the album, with the caveat being it had to be 6:12 long exactly! I first planned out the structure of the song on a single piano track to make sure it fit the time limit, then went back in and fleshed out all the instrumentation. I wanted it to be reminiscent of Bowman's work, with his classic guitar flourishes, but put my own spin on it all the same. The whole project kind of crystallized over the course of a single week I spent stuck to my computer 24/7, continually tweaking it to make sure the track flowed despite its disparate parts. If you're interested to find out more about its production process check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqpcqEpMndA">this video</a>. All in all, it's a fast-paced schizophrenic redux of the highlights of MTaHK (which is to say, the whole album) that even now I'm still proud of. I'm happy to have the opportunity to put it on this amazing album! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Pumpkin Tide (Gourdian Sea Version) Artist: Ucklin Track Art: piskomil -Duration: 2:39 +Duration: '2:39' Art Tags: Mobius Trip References: Pumpkin Tide URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-tide-gourdian-sea-version -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Destroy your desk; it's useless now<br>Build yourself a fort to hide<br>Close your eyes and crawl inside<br>You're sailing on the pumpkin tide The ship you're on is yours alone<br>The wind will push your sweet, sweet ride<br>But this foreign wave just appearified<br>You're sailing on the pumpkin tide Focus on the sound of my voice<br>You are under my control<br>Obey my will or I'll bury you alive<br>And it's you who'll dig your own damned hole @@ -212,45 +212,45 @@ Lyrics: Listen to their whispering voice<br>The current where the pumpkins roam<br>You never saw a thing<br>Never saw the thing you think you saw<br>Just shadows looking for a home The door into your heart is locked<br>It's gun is buried in your mind<br>Too heavy to carry, but too huge to leave behind<br>Without it you would surely die But even that's just another lie<br>Sailing on the pumpkin tide -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Ucklin:</i> The tambourine sound is actually a belly dancing belt with bangles... and yes, I did wear it and dance. This is an update to the version of Pumpkin Tide that I did on my iPad when I was in the hospital, recovering from my bone marrow transplant. I took some comfort in the way that the lyrics seemed to fit my experience leaving school for my treatment and being thrust into an unwanted "adventure." I wanted to keep this version pretty simple, so it's almost entirely just multitracked recordings of my acoustic instruments. I did add a touch of phased and flanged reverb because I wanted it to feel like a live performance on another world. <i>piskomil:</i> A remake of my old piece from 2013.

And by beginning, I mean "the morning of 4/13/09, John's birthday and the beginning of it all". So I wanted to take time with this piece, and create a sort of smooth, shifting landscape, illustrating the sun rising over John's neighborhood before he wakes up. This was mainly achieved by intersparsing little melodic hits on instruments with each other, building up and fading out in turn. The opening from a rather old tune of mine, "Light" from Volume 5, also makes an appearance in here to further the overall effect. I imagine, if this piece were performed live, it would do best with all the instrumentalists scattered to some degree.

This one just started out because I wanted a tight ensemble to play something together, something sort of bouncy and light. Before that, I'd been making a lot of pieces that felt unnecessarily large, sticking in instruments for just one little section and not using them the rest of the time, so something lighter with more emphasis on individual parts seemed like a great idea. I had no idea what to call it, though, and it didn't really seem to have much context in terms of the album either, until I was looking through the 2010 calendar that the art team made, and came across the October artwork. Immediately it was like, that was it, the piece both fit the "kids and fun" aesthetic that lasted a while in the beginning, and the artwork fit too, so it achieved purpose and title both at the same time. Instrumentally it fit too, it had piano and bass and bitcrushed drums that sounded somewhat like beatboxing, which were three out of the four instruments the original kids used. There's definitely a discrepancy with using synth vs. violin, though. Before anyone asks, I definitely spent time trying to fandangle string patches into it, but it just didn't work. So you can imagine Rose playing an electric violin, that's what I do.

Everything's dark, except for the stars above, but as we found out, they were really fireflies trapped in the clouds. This was one of the concepts I latched onto rather hard with this piece, the mass of sparkling and blinking above John as he traipsed about. I've been lucky enough to live in a more rural area for most of my life, and being able to watch the stars was always great, so I could only ever imagine what LOWAS's clouds looked like. Anyway. I kept the sparkling mainly to the piano, higher register work with some delay making a nice twinkling effect. I'd also just gotten some wonderful "piano in an attic for 80 years" samples, which came with a large variety of inner-piano works, like tapping or heavy strokes of the strings, and I sprinkled those rather liberally in places to try and get the effect of thunder. (After all, what sort of lightning storms could a firefly cloud have, anyway?)

Not really a whole lot of deep thought or anything with this, I just thought the melody sounded cool and it could work for a sort of high-energy swooping-around sort of thing. And then later, I associated it with John's jetpack flight after he gets warned off from dying to his planet's Denizen, so that's what it became. On a completely random note this piece always makes me want to go out running, and I have done so to this piece a few times.

And a little later, I was fortunate enough to get a good recording of it before heading home for the summer. The piece itself is meant to go along with John discovering Jade's dead dreamself, after waking up on Skaia for the first time. I know a lot of people associate [[Sarabande]], from Volume 5, with that event, or at least with John reading Jade's letter, but I couldn't help but want to at least touch on it while going through his timeline.

That's kind of a confusing explanation, I'm sure! Basically all you need to know is that there's a car that can fly and it's flying. Like pchooo flying. It's awesome. For the piece, I went with this old idea I had a few years back in college, a 13/8 double-piano piece. Seeing as I'm not two piano players, though, I wanted to orchestrate it out a bit, so I put some brighter instruments to double the melody, over top of the original riff, and beefed it up with some light strings and drums. A few other instruments come in later as the piece developed, but like [[October]], I tried to keep it all to a small group and not let the orchestration explode. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Cancerous Core Track Art: Dawn Davis -Duration: 3:30 +Duration: '3:30' Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/cancerous-core - https://youtu.be/hQcYa03LOkQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> The descent into Skaia and the exploration of its interior, I feel, went by too quick. It might just be because the Tomb Raider series was a favorite while growing up, but I've always loved old, unexplored ruins, arcane or mystical elements hinted at with wall carvings or murals, that sort of thing. And Skaia, being the center of a sort of central planet to everything in Sburb, could be chock-full of old buildings and mystical secrets to explore. So, to try and accompany the general air of mystery and exploration that would have gone with a long journey into the center of Skaia, I took an old idea in Locrian mode. If you're a music person, Locrian is when you take a major scale, but start it on the last note. It's a rather off-kilter scale, and it can't ever really resolve to the tonic chord like most other scales can, which made it rather suited to a piece about the sort of strange secrets and landscapes that could be hidden in the center of Skaia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Game Over Track Art: Sarah Fu -Duration: 3:42 +Duration: '3:42' Art Tags: - John -- cw: blood +- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/game-over - https://youtu.be/II2Fgetf2So -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> This is most likely the first piece that was ever made and put into this album. It might even be from before I started on the album, I'm not sure. At any rate, when John was stabbed and "died" (god tier characters can only truly die from a Just or Heroic death), he stayed dead for a few minutes. And for those few minutes, I imagined that he came to a sort of Game Over screen, or, if you were playing a video game of Homestuck, you would come to a Game Over screen. From there, you could either continue or give up, which is a pretty staple part of game over screens, I think. At any rate, the music I went for was to just go along with that, a peaceful song for his demise before he came back. It feels kind of morbid, but since the concept of death has kind of gone out the window and back again in Homestuck, it's hardly as morbid as it could be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Unlabeled Track Art: Vivian Ng -Duration: 2:36 +Duration: '2:36' Art Tags: - John - Rose @@ -171,61 +171,61 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/unlabeled - https://youtu.be/xVuZ5DGLsNk -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> This is the second of the solo piano pieces on this album, at least in the main tracks, and a really late release as well, given that it first appeared in the comic some time around a year ago.

This piece marks the beginning of my writing into "events that have not yet occurred". At the time, the scratched copy of Sburb was just starting to show some real-world effects by making the "game" (aka our viewing experience as an audience) glitch up. So, I set about making some heavier action music for it, incorporating heavy use of weird, messed-up glitching sounds and a few heavy-handed uses of numerical motifs. I also brought in Ruins, one of the first piano pieces I ever recorded, the latter section of Wakl-Stab-Walk, and Crystalanthemums. Overall, in my opinion at least, the piece turned out a little strange, a little awkward, and not really nice, but really that works just fine for me. Everything was really going for the characters at the time, after all. People were getting hunted down, friends were turning on each other, nobody in the fandom really knew who was going to be next. Was this person? Or this person? Were you next? It all led to a heavy air of unease that sort of manifested itself in the odd piano riff and distorted drums that were used, and all the heavy glitching that led us up to... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Scratch Track Art: Brian Griv -Duration: 7:34 +Duration: '7:34' Art Tags: - John -- cw: blood +- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/the-scratch - https://youtu.be/5UrMv4IQclk -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> Aka "the big reset button for the universe". It was hinted at for ages in the comic, and finally happened at some point after this piece was made. It also served as the inspiration for a project that my third-year piano studio did. In the comic, this event was basically a way to reset the universe, everything inside it, and recreate it in a different way, one that would make the game winnable. So, in my head, a mass de-compilation of everything, like a massive maelstrom building as bits of data are pulled apart. A black hole, in other words, but arcing out in waves of energy ilke lightning. Mother Nature ain't got crap on this beast. The piece started out as extreme laziness on my aprt, just idle playing around with various distortion on synths and samples, until the school project came up and wanted results fast. So I threw some things together until they formed the opening, and took a very lax approach to the piano part, a sort of "here's a riff, now play around with it, there's your part" with a drum loop over top. Thankfully my laziness didn't extend to the whole thing, and it all got more polished up and developed over time. It still keeps the "improvised piano part based off one riff" idea, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Respit Track Art: K -Duration: 2:33 +Duration: '2:33' Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/respit - https://youtu.be/9eSnvqGpzj8 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> To separate the big glitched-up waves from the final battle and rest up ahead, I wanted to stick something right in the middle just to give the listener a break. And, in some games I've played, there's a sort of resting area before the final boss, or a small break to prepare yourself before the last battle. This is what spawned Respit, the idea of a light and airy, calming piece. I was also pretty reminded of Kingdom Heart's usage of the "resting area" trope, which was a small chamber with several large crystals around. So, I went with the idea of a large, reflective area, someplace in the dream bubbles perhaps, where the heroes could rest and reflect. This is another one of those tracks, too, that tried to predict a future event but was overtaken as time went on. The concept of the dream bubbles and the long voyage John took fit my original idea well enough, though, so that's what the piece molded itself into being. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Negastrife Track Art: Amethyst Barron -Duration: 6:29 +Duration: '6:29' References: - track:showtime-original-mix - Cascade (Beta) @@ -236,17 +236,17 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/negastrife - https://youtu.be/e5LP87QF9p0 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> And now that everyone is prepared....it's time for the final fight.

It pulls from Showtime, the original strife music, and also (ironically enough) from an idea I had when I was around 11 and wanted to make something spooky for Halloween. Let me tell you, it worked way better in this context than my original plan. So seeing as this is the final boss fight, there wasn't really any reason to hold back while adding in instruments and layers. To this day, it's definitely the largest piece I've made in instrumentation, and also the first to make me render everything out into separate files because my computer just couldn't handle it. Suffice to say, it's a pretty large piece, for a pretty large fight. There's a rather intentional and large nod to the aesthetic in [[Rex Duodecim Angelus]] by Malcolm Brown as well, since his piece was about the trolls' final fight with the Black King at the end of their session.

First thing I'd ever recorded, too, and I want to say it was done a few months after Homestuck had started. In my head, it fit in as a possible refrain for one of the characters, and the idea always stuck in my head that it could also work as a piece for the very ending for Homestuck, a sort of "all is well" refrain. After two years, I was finally able to make something like what I was thinking and put it in the right context. Like the [[Homestuck Anthem]], I went with using the four kids' instruments: piano, strings, drums/percussion, and bass, and stuck mainly with those. I also got some help by Mr. Lake of Awesome Beats Inc. who was way better at beats than I am, and he made it way better too. Big props to him. With the new universe and many new characters being explored, this piece might not work for "the end of Homestuck" anymore, but if anything, I see it as a sort of moving forward. John's journey on that one day, when he turned 13, matured both him and his friends. Like many others, he took the hero's journey, and grew as a result of it, and so this piece could very well fit him leaving his universe and going on to the next, bringing his experiences and knowledge with him, just as well as it could fit him moving past Sburb to whatever adventures lie ahead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Bonus tracks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Another Chance Artist: Eston Schweickart Track Art: dapperpixel -Duration: 5:01 +Duration: '5:01' References: Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/another-chance-bonus - https://youtu.be/gfw3ALlYnmY -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> BONUS TRACK TIME!

I mean, all the kids had fight music, why not him? Anyway, between a chiptune variant I started and Trollcops, it's had a bit of a journey, but when it turned out alright on piano too, I didn't see any reason not to record a few takes. Let me just put this out here, I'm not a jazz pianist at all, nor is this really jazz. Not very complicated jazz, at any rate. I know there's way better jazz playing out there, and probably quite a few pianists that'll be wondering why some pianist douchebag thinks he can play jazz, well rest assured, I'm not claiming I'm amazing at all. Of course, not being able to play something magnificently and to the best form of the genre didn't really stop me from playing around with this piece. So I did. I also think it would fit in during the first Intermission, with all the under-the-hat chicanery and stabbings that went on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Mother (Piano) Track Art: none -Duration: 3:07 +Duration: '3:07' URLs: - https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/mother-piano-bonus - https://youtu.be/utXsOEmFVds -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Erik Scheele:</i> This is the original recording that [[Mother]] came from, made years back when I thought the only way to avoid clipping while recording was to play the softest I possibly could.

You, the listener, would have been guided along a journey, first to Derse, going through the Darkened Streets, up the Obsidian Towers to where the Derse Dreamers were jamming out, before heading deep into the Core of Darkness, until you were suddenly transported to Prospit, appearing in the Hallowed Halls before repeating the journey with Prospit’s counterparts. Honestly, if you listen to the album as Derse & Prospit instead, you still can kind of get that vibe! You can definitely hear the idea of that in how it goes into The Obsidian Towers, but I ended up removing the more seemless transitions in favor of just having two somewhat parallel albums, and stuck with the parallel idea for awhile. This is the most obvious in the first two songs of each half. Hallowed Halls is based on Darkened Streets, and The Golden Towers is based on The Obsidian Towers.

More importantly, however, I’m thrilled this song is enjoyed by so many people, and I’ve been blown away how people have have been using this song in their own derivative works. It’s just really heartwarming as an artist to see my work out there having a life of its own. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Core of Darkness Track Art: Shad Andrews -Duration: 3:14 +Duration: '3:14' Art Tags: - Rose - Dave URLs: - https://music.solatrus.com/track/core-of-darkness - https://youtu.be/VEJ3hfCnW_w -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> Best song on Prospit & Derse.

It is the bastard child of my hopes and dreams and my most recent accomplishments and ordeals. I set out to write music to capture everything going on in my life as well as find out who I am and what I am as far as a composer. What ended up happening was the creation of twelve powerful pieces that are close and dear to me and are a road map of my trials. The album has a biblical theme with the titles as to fit with the concept of the story of Homestuck being that of creation. Sburb ends up being the catalyst for the existence of our universes and every other one. I hope you appreciate them! These are my comments about each piece as well as a few comments on how exactly I played some of the crazier parts. @@ -37,14 +37,14 @@ Commentary: Originally written for Homestuck in 2011, Sburb is the first major composition I ever wrote. The pieces were written when I was seventeen, over my junior and senior years of high school and performed and recorded the following summer. The album released about a month before I set off to college and the whole experience was phenomenal. While I have long lost track with MSPA, I still am good friends with my fellow musicians from the Homestuck Music team including Erik "Jit" Steele, who performed on these recordings. Looking back on it now, I love how obvious my early inspirations are but I do love the work I was able to create during one of the most tumultuous times in my life.

It actually came about from me trying to figure out the chords the harps play in the quiet last section of Saturn from Gustav Holst's The Planets. When I started writing Sburb I decided that it would fit perfectly with the theme that the game creates. The structure of the chords is not unlike how the game actually functions. They work as a juxtaposition of good and evil by using relative major and minor chords. It starts off quietly and on higher octaves to introduce the mood. The next section brings in the Homestuck Anthem as an introduction to the album itself, signaling the beginning of the entire process. The piece suddenly grows in intensity as the left hand C octave ostinatos enter the phrases followed by the calm of the storm. The piece does not resolve, however it does lead straight into the next. @@ -52,66 +52,66 @@ Commentary: The introduction to the suite lays the fundamentals and ideas present throughout the rest of the movements. A juxtaposition between major and minor are in every chord creating a backbone of polytonality that I wanted to explore as I formulated the album. The main Homestuck anthem is weaved through the chords as this album was originally written for and published through MS Paint Adventures and What Pumpkin. The original theme was composed by Clark Powell. The album in its entirety is performed by Erik Scheele. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Genesis -Duration: 2:26 +Duration: '2:26' URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/genesis - https://youtu.be/qOkMYB-r6b8 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> This song begins with a C minor chord that both resolves the last piece and immediately sets the mood for this piece. Genesis marks the beginning of the biblical terms as well. The Book of Genesis is the first book of both the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament. It is interpreted as the Chosen People being lead to the Promised Land. Sburb is the pathway that leads the kids into the game that is suppose to eventually grow a new universe. It starts off quietly and builds into a fast paced journey. Genesis also introduces my favorite music technique: hemiolas. The right hand plays a melody in triplets while the left hand harmonizes in eighth notes. This creates a strange rhythm and continues the juxtaposition theme created in The Prelude's chords. Continuing the concept of two extremes but together, the song goes into legato, quiet phrases that are immediately followed by staccato, loud phrases. <i>(commentary redux)</i> The previous track sets up the resolution that the opening measures provide here. This movement introduces the two against three polyrhythm idea that continues throughout the album as well as a few choice hemiolas. Coming from a percussion background, I find a lot of melodic potential in rhythmic content and this whole suite was a place for me to test that out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Eden -Duration: 2:06 +Duration: '2:06' URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/eden - https://youtu.be/hcXixYBLk_8 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> The Garden of Eden is where the first man Adam, and his wife Eve, lived after their creation. It is suppose to be a beautiful, blissful utopia. It also becomes the origin of sin. The piece reflects that concept. The flowing and adventurous nature of the piece is suppose to reflect the beauty and majestic qualities of the land. As far as the kids story goes, it represents the infinite potential of Skaia. This song also continues the same hemiola motif as Creation with triplets played by the right hand and eighth notes played by the left. The glissandos at the beginning and in the middle is an E flat pentatonic run, which basically means I only played on the black keys. Since it's completely ad libbed I wrote out a small little example. Basically, the left hand just continues up normally while the right hand goes back and forth while slowly climbing up (if looking at the sheet music, each note alternates on the hands). <i>(commentary redux)</i> The goal here was to feel like a breath of air after the first two movements had a much more minor modal center. The three over two polyrhythm keeps powering through the movement as I start introducing bass ostinati that act as the pedal tone to the melodic content. Still in love with those flourishes after all these years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Exodus -Duration: 2:08 +Duration: '2:08' References: - track:sburban-jungle URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/exodus - https://youtu.be/UnbRhrKFofY -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> The Book of Exodus comes after the Book of Genesis. It narrates the mass journey out of Israel by Moses. In Sburb, the players must go through a set of tasks to escape impending doom. This song reflects the process of entering the medium. This is why I encorporated Sburban Jungle into the beginning and end. The first time Sburb is booted up you hear a bit of Sburban Jungle, just like at the beginning of the song you hear the bottom chords. Later, when John enters the medium (as well as Rose) you hear the song in more complete forms like the end of the piece. When playing, the trickiest part is definitely the triplet ostinato that continues throughout the entire song. The best method to pulling this off is by playing the note on the beat (which will always be either E flat or G) with the left hand and the rest of the notes on the right hand. You will notice that when there are lower notes, there are rests in the ostinato so that you can quickly jump down the piano. <i>(commentary redux)</i> Continuing the Homestuck homages, this piece prominently features the bassline from Michael Guy Bowman's Sburban Jungle. When I was writing this movement I really wanted to explore how much I could utilize the different registers of the piano while keeping a constant ostinato running through the middle register. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Requiem -Duration: 2:56 +Duration: '2:56' URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/requiem - https://youtu.be/cVKRJOqKMDY -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> Requiem masses are masses for the dead. Requiem is the anthem for everything and everybody lost. One portion of Homestuck never focused on is the direct aftermath of the destruction of the Reckoning. Requiem is a theme for all the people and things lost on Earth. The song itself could be very tricky to play depending on how familiar you are with time signatures. The piece is in 4/4 for the majority of the first half. It enters a 5/4 section with a 4/4 continuation of the "siren" effect overlapping. The hemiola only occurs the first time, the second time bringing in a 5/4 melody to accompany it. Immediately afterwards the piece shifts into mixed meter. The 7/8 section is briefly interupted by an apostrophe of 5/8. The ending shifts to 6/8 as the tone shifts from minor to major. <i>(commentary redux)</i> Continuing my quest to explore rhythm and melody, Requiem's goal was to keep a melody whipping between different time signatures while not feeling jerky or sudden. I tried to hide the resolution at the end by having a quiet final note low in the bass after the bell like ringing of the final major arrival to add finality while also trying to let the unresolved final chord linger. Erik's performance really nailed it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: The Meek -Duration: 2:16 +Duration: '2:16' URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/the-meek - https://youtu.be/hKEylNAp1-Q -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." The Meek is the theme for the Exiles. They are the ones left to fix and save the Earth 413 years after its destruction. It starts off solemn as the concept occurs to them that it is their duty to repopulate and rebuild. As the piece goes on it gets more intense to reflect all of the shenanigans and gun pointing that occurs as they all converge and meet. After the tension dies away the mood from before is recapped before resolving at the end. However, the last run ends in dissonance, because we don't know how the exile's story will play out. @@ -120,40 +120,40 @@ Commentary: The Meek continues the idea of bouncing between time signatures while trying to keep a sense of structure. Where Requiem was more about a constant pulse, I decided to play with elongated pauses to stretch the phrases. The second section was during a time where I was really starting to love the idea of modes and modal mixture and just had fun with it. Still one of my favorite passages from the entire album!

Homestuck does not follow a chronological structure in the slightest. Chronicles is a piano version of Candles and Clockwork. Candles and Clockwork in itself is a massive hemiola as each voice exists in a different time signature. The melody is adapted in this piece to match the 3/4 arpeggio. The piece keeps changing to reflect each leg of the journey the kids have to experience in order to finish the game, not necessarily in order. <i>(commentary redux)</i> Chronicles is an adaption of an earlier Homestuck track I wrote, Candles and Clockwork. It was one of the first compositions I ever finished and, true to form, is a big hemiola. I wanted an ostinato in a different time signature than the melody which is what I focus on during the first section as I introduce the melody. The second part of the song introduces the final major motive of the suite, a sextuplet accompaniment outlining the tonic and dominant. A staple of the western art canon, it was a good foundation for me to work on some melodies that weren't purely rhythmic noodling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Rapture -Duration: 1:52 +Duration: '1:52' URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/rapture - https://youtu.be/zqbExJ93rXo -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> Boss fight music! Kind of. The rapture starts off quietly and peacefully before the sirens break the silence. The sirens lead into a fast paced hectic section before dying down as quickly as it appeared. A sudden destructive force that comes and goes in an instant. This song uses two motifs throughout the album: the siren and hemiolas. Measures 17-19 are more than a little tricky to play. I left a note in the sheet music to help with the ending line. <i>(commentary redux)</i> Rapture was the boss tune of the suite. The big bad of the album, it brings back the bass and sustain pedal heavy ostinato while trying to juxtapose a simple and quiet melody that bookends it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Creation -Duration: 4:02 +Duration: '4:02' References: Homestuck Anthem URLs: - https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/track/creation - https://youtu.be/XorynbzZQpI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Dever:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> The song that means more to me than any song I've ever written and possibly will again. Sburb is all about creating worlds, thus the resolution of the album comes after the storm (Rapture). No matter how harsh the process may be, the result is beauty and endless potential. This song is completely based around the hemiola motif and the origin of it. It is also designed like a day. The song starts off quiet and slow as the sun rises and slowly gets more complex and full fledged as it rises until mid day when it is most busy. As the sun sets into the later half of the day the song slows down and gets quieter toward the sunset. It resolves with the Homestuck Anthem to imply the loop to the beginning.

Solving and understanding is the purpose behind the entire concept, however it can completely be overlooked and is not necessary to completing the rest of the process. Thousands of people can play the game and create their own universes but never quite solve the riddle.

Quiet save for birds, barking dogs, and the subtle but constant drone of faraway highway noise, it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to live. Unfortunately, life in Ashburn can get a bit dull after high school: Friends leave for college and there’s no easy public transportation to the hour-away city, so there’s not much to do outside the house except take walks through the scenic woods and hillsides. If you’re not the outdoorsy type (and especially if you work from home), a reclusive life can be easy to fall into. With this song I intend to convey the strange dichotomy between the semi-natural beauty of Ashburn’s ample wooded landscape and carefully maintained lawns, and the ever-present plasticity that permeates both the town and my necessarily internet-centric lifestyle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: 14121 Artist: Catboss -Duration: 4:16 +Duration: '4:16' URLs: https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/14121-2 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Catboss:</i> 14121 kilometers is the approximate distance from Singapore (i.e. where I usually live) to Westwood, Los Angeles, where I currently stay and study.

The first few days of the semester came just fine, but the following weeks slowly fell into the same, everyday rut and I found my routine pretty quickly tiring. For me, the start of every day would be crossing that main street in the city, which had a walk signal, as most city street crossings tend to. I'd push the button, which would evoke a very sharp click (and honestly, it was pretty satisfying to push; the morning ennui pushed me to observe that) and then the walk sign would come on, very rhythmically, stating, “WAIT.” When it came time to cross, it always repeated, “WALK SIGN IS ON. WALK SIGN IS ON. WALK SIGN IS-” at which point it would abruptly cut off and begin counting. The total time for crossing came to about thirty seconds or so, and I'd put my head down and walk along with the other freshman or whoever came to that street corner to walk at that particular time. As the semester dragged on, I started to imagine songs in order to break up the monotony a little, to the point where I would be walking across the street completely absorbed in my thoughts until the beeping of the walk signal, awaiting its next input, would come in and I'd find myself across the street. North Walk/South Walk encompasses the feeling of that 30 second time period, and indeed, the essential spirit of my freshman year in Norfolk. -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- wait<br>wait<br>wait walk sign is on<br>walk sign is on<br>walk sign is twenty seven twenty six @@ -91,35 +90,35 @@ Lyrics: two one wait<br>wait<br>wait<br>wait<br>wait<br>wait<br>wait<br>wai -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Loop 1 Artist: Michael Guy Bowman -Duration: 5:51 +Duration: '5:51' URLs: https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/loop-1 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> Loop 1 is the formal name for the Mopac Expressway in Austin, Texas.

There are no direct, obvious references as to what song corresponds to which character, though there are quite a few indications: each song uses an instrument that is typically associated with one of the kids in a pretty prominent way: whether it’s the piano lead in Heir Conditioning, the solo violin in Dance of Thorns, the bass and flute (shakuhachi, actually) in Atomic Bonsai, and of course the sampled beats and scratches in Time on my Side. I suppose the titles count as somewhat vague references to the characters as well. With that said, I’m still not going to explicitly say “This song is actually a strife theme for Dave” or something like that. If Andrew chooses to interpret it as a good backdrop for a fight between Dirk and Jake, I am totally fine with that. Hell, I can totally see it working (And in fact it DID work, since the flash turned out pretty damn awesome) @@ -70,9 +70,9 @@ Commentary: The original inspiration for this song probably comes from the least likely source imaginable. It’s not The Prodigy or Goldeneye 64 music, but actually the original score to the movie Space Jam. You probably don’t even know or remember it, but a lot of the songs have a very distinct looped hiphop beat, guitars, and orchestral stabs all over the place, much like a large portion of this song. Seriously, listen to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBenCP-51Qw">this</a> from about 0:50 onward and you should hear the resemblance. That aside, obviously stuff from The Prodigy’s Fat of the Land album bears some resemblance as well, especially with the cheesy bassline. I know that a few Prodigy songs have been used in the otherwise kinda shitty Charlie’s Angels movies whenever shit was about to go down, and that’s really the kind of vibe I was going for as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Atomic Bonsai -Duration: 4:20 +Duration: '4:20' References: - The Raising Fighting Spirit - Reverse Situation @@ -80,21 +80,21 @@ References: URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/atomic-bonsai - https://youtu.be/ncLsScNc4ZY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Knife's Edge -Duration: 4:05 +Duration: '4:05' References: - To Make the End of Battle - Cascade (Beta) URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/knifes-edge - https://youtu.be/eYdneOkIvvc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Group: Bonus tracks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Make a Wish Track Art: none -Duration: 1:32 +Duration: '1:32' URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/make-a-wish - https://youtu.be/P0nogEQf3BI diff --git a/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.yaml b/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.yaml index d5ddc561..eeeea2ab 100644 --- a/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.yaml +++ b/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.yaml @@ -4,15 +4,15 @@ Cover Art: Tavia Morra Wallpaper Art: Homestuck, Quasar Nebula (edits for wiki) Banner Art: Homestuck, Niklink (edits for wiki) Banner Dimensions: 1100x200 -Wallpaper Style: +Wallpaper Style: |- opacity: 0.6; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; filter: hue-rotate(45deg); -Has Track Art: no +Has Track Art: false Date: August 1, 2012 Date Added: November 15, 2019 -Color: #dd5544 +Color: '#dd5544' Groups: - Clark Powell - Official @@ -20,9 +20,9 @@ URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/symphony-impossible-to-play-with-medium - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGj-hDDFktI - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnVpmehyaOFbZGlJ_NhUuG0yPfBRzFpfv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: I - Overture -Duration: 7:00 +Duration: '7:00' Directory: overture URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/i-overture-2 @@ -38,17 +38,17 @@ References: - track:explore - track:upward-movement-dave-owns - Even in Death -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: II - Sarabande -Duration: 2:36 +Duration: '2:36' References: track:sarabande-vol5 Directory: sarabande-symphony URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ii-sarabande-2 - https://youtu.be/iADicSzT0VE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: III - Serenade -Duration: 5:44 +Duration: '5:44' References: - Serenade - track:ruins @@ -56,9 +56,9 @@ Directory: serenade-symphony URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/iii-serenade-2 - https://youtu.be/wjvxf4QiHfU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: IV - Anthem -Duration: 3:48 +Duration: '3:48' References: Homestuck Anthem Directory: anthem URLs: diff --git a/album/the-baby-is-june.yaml b/album/the-baby-is-june.yaml index c8a06c84..c679557b 100644 --- a/album/the-baby-is-june.yaml +++ b/album/the-baby-is-june.yaml @@ -3,15 +3,15 @@ Artist: Funk McLovin Date: November 23, 2020 Date Added: April 12, 2021 Cover Art: Funk McLovin -Has Track Art: no -Color: #00c0ff +Has Track Art: false +Color: '#00c0ff' Groups: - Funk McLovin - Fandom URLs: - https://funkmclovin.bandcamp.com/album/the-baby-is-june - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVNREaFFhdM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Meat Nor Candy Duration: 0:37 Contributors: @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ Contributors: - Bucky Grant (Karkat) URLs: - https://funkmclovin.bandcamp.com/track/meat-nor-candy -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- DAVE: so june DAVE: did you pick meat or candy JUNE: dave??

I love the melody of Endless Climb. I loved the music box-esque remixes on Volume 5 even more. Before I got on the team, I had written Clockwork Apocalypse, an orchestrated version of Clockwork Melody. After realizing Audacity could reverse music, I started experimenting. Since the Endless Climb melody was so memorable and it had served as good sort of interlude tracks on Volume 5, I decided to try to make something in a similar vein. Oddly enough, I think the reversed version of the Clockwork Reversal sounds even better than both Clockwork Reversal and Clockwork Apocalypse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Chartreuse Rewind Artist: Solatrus -Duration: 4:57 +Duration: '4:57' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chartreuse-rewind-2 - https://youtu.be/TBsDTu-NOkA -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> I was honest to God surprised that Chartreuse Rewind made the cut for the Felt.

Trace and Fin follow past and future trails, so I made the first melody in the first half hollow and somewhat indistinct, since it is a "future trail" for the second melody that will come in a few bars later. In the second half I reverse this and have the indistinct melody come afterwards, a "past trail" of the melody that just played. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Baroqueback Bowtier (Scratch's Lament) Artist: Clark Powell -Duration: 4:06 +Duration: '4:06' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/baroqueback-bowtier-scratchs-lament-2 - https://youtu.be/leIKuIH2FIg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Scratch Artist: David Ko -Duration: 3:10 +Duration: '3:10' References: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Ultimate Koopa URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch-2 - https://youtu.be/3OVpWgisy0o -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Omelette Sandwich Artist: Mark Hadley -Duration: 3:32 +Duration: '3:32' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich-2 - https://youtu.be/a1FivIzXv48 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Mark Hadley:</i> I imagined this song being played by Eggs and Biscuits. Shortly after the melody plays, it stops and rewinds back to the beginning, adding more instruments and speeding up the song slightly. This repeats until it is barely the same song anymore, fast and furious instead of the simple cello and viola duet that it starts with. After all the parts are in place, the parts start dropping out one by one until it goes back to the simple start.

Basically what happened was: I am visiting somewhere in Chicago with only my phone’s connection to the internet, check the MSPA forums and find a message notification waiting for me. Radiation congratulates me on getting on the team. After some moments of sputtering disbelief, I read on. He says if I want to get started on something, the Squiddles was being finished up and the Felt was on the table. So, for the next couple hours I was invigorated, consumed wholly during the car ride and time in the hotel before I finally fell asleep with working on a track for the Felt. Time Paradox was made. Originally, I made it imagining the recruitment of the Felt, picturing Doc Scratch warping across time and space, assembling the green goons from who knows where, and then witnessing the construction of the Felt manor. It’s a fun track, more energetic than a lot of things I had worked on and definitely influenced by Radiation’s style. The last two sections are still some of my favorite phrases that I’ve written. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Eldritch Artist: Alex Rosetti -Duration: 2:02 +Duration: '2:02' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/eldritch-2 - https://youtu.be/6hDMo_pcaD8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: English Artist: Toby Fox -Duration: 3:30 -Art Tags: cw: blood +Duration: '3:30' +Art Tags: 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/english-2 - https://youtu.be/6zMnNCDaKuE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Variations Artist: Robert J!

This piece is actually pretty old, going back to before Volume 5, where it was much simpler (playing out more like a round) and with poorer sound quality in general. Like most of my music it was inspired by a similar piece from somewhere else - in this case, the original Bionicle flash adventure game that used to be on the Lego website way back. If you’ve played it, you might notice the similarity, at least as far as instrumentation goes. It had been many years since I’d last even seen the game, long after it fell off the site, so I couldn’t recognise what I liked about the piece and so the imitation I’d made was pretty poor! Fast forward a year or two. Some discussion with internet friends had led me to find that old flash game again, and I heard my old favourite tune in all its glory (significantly less glorious than I remembered; nostalgia does that to you). Still, it showed me the main place I was going wrong, which was that I’d neglected harmony. All of the three or four lines of music that piece had were monophonic, making a really drab sound, while what I needed where chords. A stupid mistake? Sure, it was, but then, I wasn’t that good a musician when I first wrote the piece. I started over, applying all the experience I’d got both from writing music and simply listening to it with a critical ear to get my main contribution to the Wanderers album, and something I could be proud of. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Requiem for an Exile Artist: Solatrus Track Art: Zilleniose -Duration: 2:01 +Duration: '2:01' References: track:requiem Art Tags: - WV @@ -149,15 +149,15 @@ Art Tags: - AR - WQ URLs: https://youtu.be/aAphwUVKFm4 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> I made James’s great composition sound, well, better.

I'm not fully ruling out that at some level I was remembering ST when making LR, but I honestly could not recall the song until someone linked a video, and even afterwards I don't recall the song from the game.

Its focused premise, interesting takes on a theme, and general aesthetic all appeal to me. Not to mention the fact that it contains some of the best songs in the Homestuck discography. This song is not one of those. I don’t mean to sell myself short, but What a Daring Dream is hard to appreciate on its own as music, and this was intentional. As a matter of fact, I wrote it to underscore WV’s dream sequence, which is one of my favorite parts of Homestuck. And even then, my approach wasn’t as programmatic as Malcolm’s, as he had the same idea with his track, Nightmare. Funny enough, we even ended up giving our pieces the same title, but he was generous enough to change his so that I could keep mine. Of course, because of this the two songs compliment each other very well, and make for a great double-closer to the album. @@ -223,22 +223,22 @@ Commentary: I wanted the music to be very hazy and meditative, very much like a dream (naturally). Unclear sounds fading in and out, soft messages you’re not quite sure you’re hearing. The use of Morse code was an obvious choice, though I did not have the patience to translate every single line of code in that sequence. I just used the same sample repeatedly, altered it a bit, and panned the two versions of it to each side of the mix. I did, however, think it would be worth my time to whisper the English translation of the Morse code, so throughout the piece you hear my voice narrating ever so slightly in the background, even up to Vriska’s dialogue. The instrumentation was a lucky coincidence since I modeled parts of it off the Evangelion score, and those happened to fit the very broad “Eastern music” theme we were going for for the most part. So the piece turned out to be a great candidate for the album and I worked on it a lot more before submitting it to be on there. Overall it was one of the most fun songs I’ve had the pleasure of making for Homestuck, and the fact that it spooked some people is an added bonus. Speaking of bonuses, Noot did the art we used for this track. It was one of a few pieces of track art that weren’t commissioned.

I had written a really somber and melancholic track for the area outside the hive (the farm in the concept art) and changing it into something a little goofier and weird presented a unique difficulty for me. I just didn't know what to do for the first time in like actual YEARS i had no idea where to even start. I kept at it for a very long time and eventually just muscled through it with sheer force of will. People often ask me the hardest track or my least favorite to work on. it was this one. silver lining: its also become one of my favorites. i love how it came out. thats the power of determination. did you know you can't say determination anymore. this was written for, yes, the fabled beekeeper troll that nobody will talk about. its become some sort of myth as to what happened to her but the truth isn't that exciting. in early hiveswap days each member of the crew got to "pick" a character that they could choose one design element of. The person who picked beekeeper just had a fantroll based off of herself. they also just... drew micro/macro porn of themselves? a power move, honestly. I met them in person and they offered me weed within literal minutes of meeting so i mean i guess they seemed nice. when they no longer worked for the company it was just simpler to redesign the character than deal with literally any of that. mystewy sowved :) at the point in production where they were figuring out names/personalities/traits they kinda thrust this one on me because it "would make the most people angry." beekeeper troll was beloved by a very specific kind of horny dude. you know the kind that regularly says "lewds" or w/e. nothin wrong with that i guess. chase your bliss. but in an effort by my SO CALLED FRIENDS to antagonize me, they were like "heh h h e h he e e he h what if we make this cute girl character that hornyboys love into a dumpy little round dude and then say we based him off james who they already do not like." thanks guys. anyway zebede's bullet points and even his name are references to me but thats kinda where it ends. st. james son of zebedee is also known as santiago, which is my birthname. the tongva were "maybe" the indigenous people of long beach, where i live, which is "too far to visit" which is a joke about The Greater Los Angeles Area.

I knew if I was going to use the theme from endless climb it wouldn't feel right accepting any money for it. These things don't exactly pay well to begin with tbh, so i thought I would use the platform i've been given to try and do something... even a little positive. at first the song was just going to be called "play the rain" because naming it something stupid, while keeping up with tradition, seemed like it would be in bad taste. at some point while i was working on it i started looking into various charities i could donate the proceeds to, and it hit me that i could just ask to make the title in the credits a link to the charity. suicide is something that is hard for me to talk about. its very personal. i tend to internalize feelings in order not to.. bother anyone. a few months ago i called a suicide hotline when i hit a really low point and i think just the act of calling made me feel... in charge somehow? feelings are fucked up. don't be afraid to talk to someone. even if it is a stranger at the other end of a call. take that step. you're not bad for feeling that way. so anyway. endless climb was one of the very first homestuck songs that really drew me in, and doing a cover of it all those years ago really got me back into taking composition seriously. it could easily be argued that this song changed my life for the better. if you want to know more about the trevor project, or just suicide prevention in general visit <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/">thetrevorproject.org</a> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: 2chords Artist: James Roach Track Art: Homestuck -Duration: 1:13 +Duration: '1:13' References: - track:upward-movement-dave-owns URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3JQPZ2T03k -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: ill probably just name this one something normal oh no wait oh jeez aw beans Artist: James Roach Track Art: Homestuck -Duration: 4:50 +Duration: '4:50' URLs: -- https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/pesterquest-ill-probably-just-name-this-one-something-normal-oh-no-wait-oh-jeez-aw-beans +- >- + https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/pesterquest-ill-probably-just-name-this-one-something-normal-oh-no-wait-oh-jeez-aw-beans - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DREQ4rJUXXQ References: Davesprite -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> well cats outta the bag i did the dave route. when andrew approached me about writing it i had very little writing experience outside of my personal projects. im glad andrew had faith in me and i hope you guys like it. itll come out at 11 AM EDT. for this one and the next routes music im gonna try and keep with the tradition of uploading it the morning of. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: 24/7 lo fi anime beats to question your sexuality to Artist: James Roach Track Art: Homestuck -Duration: 2:51 +Duration: '2:51' URLs: - https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/pesterquest-247-lo-fi-anime-beats-to-question-your-sexuality-to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I2ufAhRbf0 @@ -456,30 +457,30 @@ References: - 2chords - track:upward-movement-dave-owns - track:sburban-jungle -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> i just wanted to do more than one song so i did two and a half. hope you like it. thanks for all the support! also im in this image can u find me LMAO <img src="media/misc/lo-fi-cover.jpg" alt="Pesterquest art of the inside of an Olive Garden, packed with Homestuck team members." width="500" height="500"> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: CAREFREE VICTORY (REMIX) Artist: James Roach Track Art: Homestuck Contributors: Speak-N-Say (featuring) -Duration: 6:02 +Duration: '6:02' URLs: - https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/pesterquest-james-roach-ft-speak-n-say-carefree-victory-remix - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8aZFD8ic9A& References: - Carefree Action - track:carefree-victory -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> jades theme! wow we've really come a long way huh fellas? i always really liked carefree victory and its really one of the only songs that felt like uniquely hers. towards the end i try and do something that like... every homestuck musician i think tries at least once: getting all 4 of the kid's instruments to play something nice together. i think i did alright, i subbed in beatboxing for daves turntables cause its not like you can just carry those anywhere. i guess as opposed to johns piano??

I give my thanks to all of you for listening to my shitty music, haha. This is one of my tracks for the CaNMT's almost-vaporware all-vaporwave album, CANWAVE 3. In its current iteration it's a take on 2814's sample-free approach to the vapor aesthetic through ambient and techno albums such as 新しい日の誕生 and Rain Temple. It's one of my most complex songs yet and it took a lot of work to make, but the end result is something very awe-inspiring, even to me. (Originally this song was a straight-up cover of Voidlight that was much more laid-back and repetitive, but I scrapped it in favor of this version.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Die.

I get asked a lot for this, so I decided to give it some extra love and attention. I have attempted a number of times to put together a mix of Flare that utilized the distinctive crescendo that is recognizable from Cascade, but it never seems to work well without the cinematic context. The buildup sort of leads to nothing, and then the track either ends awkwardly or fades out, and I have something personal against fade-outs. Maybe I’ll talk about that someday. But not now. I gave it another go, this time trying a decrescendo to bring the song back down from all the energy it riles up, then ending it on kind of a creepy note. I had more success here than I ever have in past attempts to cut the song together in this way. Flare was a pretty big hit in its own right, so there’s always the pressure coming from the responsibility to handle this properly. I hope you enjoy it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Flare (Green Sun Remix) Artist: Clark Powell -Duration: 4:08 +Duration: '4:08' URLs: https://soundcloud.com/plazmataz/flare-green-sun-remix -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Flight of the White Wolf Artist: Malcolm Brown -Duration: 4:45 -Has URLs: no +Duration: '4:45' +Has URLs: false References: - Rex Duodecim Angelus - Cascade (Beta) - track:dissension-original -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Flow Artist: Solatrus -Duration: 6:26 +Duration: '6:26' URLs: https://youtu.be/gbiS4WkCOVo?t=9580 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Four Kids and a Game They Play Together Artist: Robert J!

This piece has kind of evolved as the music has been reworked so there is an emphasis on the planet of fire and the multitude of neurons firing to send thoughts, actions, and commands across the span of the brain field. <s>(look mom! i'm using my medical knowledge for something dear to my heart!)</s> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Red Pulse Artist: ehlsea Track Art: Elanor Pam -Art Tags: cw: blood (abstract) -Duration: 3:25 +Art Tags: 'cw: blood (abstract)' +Duration: '3:25' References: Karkat's Theme URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/red-pulse - https://youtu.be/uZrnoad2yUQ -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>ehlsea:</i> As I was writing this song, I wanted it to sound like a video game styled theme for the land. A pulsing beat drives the song with hazy pads and synths. <b><i>SplitSuns:</i></b> LOPAH is home to an oppressive and bloody landscape, quite literally so. I mean, the oceans are legitimately made of blood. If that isn't metal I don't know what is. Anyway, this artwork conveys the hostility of stepping foot in such an environment masterfully, with the moody skies, foreboding architecture, and blood-rivers that cut into the terrain and seem to take up the entire canvas. There's great care taken into even the most minor aspects of the lighting so that the piece as a whole feels truly complete. The end result: a pretty cool-looking place, all things considered.

(I never heard that one!) I started composing it with the little kalimba riff and added from there. I was excited to create a song using instruments that I actually play, and most of the song is acoustic - but time constraints proved to stop me from getting good ocarina takes for the lead, so I scrambled at the last minute to find a replacement and ended up using touch control erhu on my iPad! I wasn't and still am not completely satisfied with the melody, but I felt better about it after I incorporated a version mostly in the pentatonic scale along with the original version, which was then used as a development. I think my main inspirations for this song were the tea and Asian-looking mountains of Nepeta's land, as well as the "snowy" landscape. <i>TheChaoMaster:</i> This is painted in acrylic, as I was inspired to paint more after finishing my high school major work which also focused on backgrounds and landscapes. I thought it would be good to try my hand at a fantasy setting. Lolcat is a very cute land and is very bright so I incorporated both of those aspects into my piece. The acrylic paints also match the acoustic song. <b><i>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</i></b> huzzah the nine kettle pots we<br>on sugar we rest on you see<br>friends of the cat<br>nothing wrong with that<br>now shut up and have some damn tea -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Light Like Raindrops Artist: Grace Medley Track Art: Circlejourney -Duration: 3:15 +Duration: '3:15' References: Frog Forager, track:theotokos URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/light-like-raindrops - https://youtu.be/7at_By7l078 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>Grace Medley:</i> I made this really touching piano piece a fwe months ago, then I realised that it was just an unintentional cover of Magicant from Mother. So I started again (Sorry CJ!!). By that time CJ had more or less finished their cover art for this track though, so I decided to take inspiration from that, and wrote a piece supposed to sound like a string quintet playing by the ocean at night. I had an idea for a viola line, which I built as the main melody, and later realising how well [[track:frog-forager]] would work with it (especially, you know, because of all the frogs), I had the second violin play that melody while the first follows it as sort of a canon. Then I got writer's block. Then [[album:ancestral]] happened, and I instantly came to love Skip's track [[track:theotokos]], so I built a section around that, too. The title was suggested by Kal-la-kal-la around the same time I finished it. <i>Circlejourney:</i> The Land of Rays and Frogs is, to me, one of the most aesthetically pleasing lands in Homestuck, with everything submerged underwater and beams of light ascending like infinitely tall pillars from the sea. That, coupled with the incomplete version of the track that Grace had shared at the time, made this an easy pick for me. I did my best to capture the grandeur (as I picture it) of the Land of Rays and Frogs in my illustration for this wonderfully serene piece of music, focusing on reflections of the light rays in the water, which this track brings to mind.* *This is only accurate assuming Power doesn't completely rework it considering it's an unintentional Magicant arrangement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Delta Divination Artist: ndividedbyzero Track Art: Chumi -Duration: 3:27 +Duration: '3:27' References: Retconjuration, Terezi's Theme URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/delta-divination - https://youtu.be/GcXi5JoU_94 -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>ndividedbyzero:</i> "Time is like a river that splits into creeks or pools into lakes or careens down waterfalls.

Thankfully, the theme of caves gave me something to work with, and I decided to lean into the soft, echoing quality of underground spaces. I decided that the best way to convey the "silence" would be to have a slowly building intro defined by subtle sounds and silent breaks, with the melody coming in as a subtle echo that slowly builds to crescendo. I tried to give the lead instruments a diffuse, echoing quality to carry on the theme. I'm hoping the builds and silent breaks give the desired effect without ultimately being too minimal and drawn-out. I felt that dripping water was another strong but subtle scene-setting sound element. It also gave me a sound concept that I used for the glass bells, which I tried to give the same feel while building to an arpeggio-style melody to give the track some velocity. Most of the time I spent on the track probably went into arranging the bells, as a lot of thought had to go into the note placement, and I ended up having to compose the part twice after I realized too late that the first version didn't sound correct alongside the main melody. In terms of influences, I think the piece takes some cues from one of the slower pieces from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, particularly for what became the cello section. Oh, and of course I couldn't write a Homestuck track without including at least a nod to the OST, so I snuck in a little bit of Indigo Heir at the end for Equius during the final contemplative fadeout. Overall I'm pretty proud of this track, and I hope you enjoy it! <i>Cosmic:</i> I had lots of fun working on this piece, and the input from others really helped me learn new ways to do things and helped the piece come together to what it is now. I feel that the hardest part was making all the pieces of the art meld together into one cohesive and nice to look at image. I hope everyone listening enjoys the song and the art, and I hope they like the album as a whole as it was put together with help from all sorts of talented musicians and artists whom I respect greatly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Carnival of Nescience Artist: WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES Track Art: genericDragon -Duration: 2:05 +Duration: '2:05' References: - track:miracles-icp URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/carnival-of-nescience - https://youtu.be/Bjwg6RjvTzI -Commentary: +Commentary: |- <i>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</i> Gosh, I started this song way back in March, when I was starting to get some dim idea of how the fuck music works.

As I first added drums, I thought of using noise channels, but was too lazy to actually find good settings, so I bit-crushed normal sounding drums as a placeholder. Rather than change it later on however, I found that the drums already worked quite well as normal fucking drums, so I kept them as is. After that, I added a synth arpeggiation, which much much later at the suggestion of SplitSuns I put an automated pitchbend over, which might be a <i>little</i> hard to hear in the final mix, but eh. Can't particularly say anything that more interesting about the production. That about wraps it I'd say. Even though this song is fairly old by now, I'm still fairly happy with it. Rather works well for the subject matter, not to toot my own horn. <i>genericDragon:</i> This piece was a bit of a challenge for me, since landscapes aren't really my strong suit. This was also my first contribution to unofficialmspafans. To me, the song had a kind of dreamy, hazy feel to it, and I tried to reflect that the best I could in the artwork.

There's a curious contrast between these vast, looming cathedrals, that I like to imagine full of immeasurable stillness and silence, and the destructive war behind the violet-blooded seadweller and the wrathful angels that dwell upon the planet. This piece is intended to represent something of that duality. Title arising from the movement for solidarity between mariners hunting great white perfectly harmless monsters. Big ups to SGM cello and whatever Serum present I used for the wobble bass. Obnoxious bro-step approximated roughly 4 lyfe. <i>Caitlin Beamer:</i> LOWAA is my favourite land, so I was very excited to get to draw this piece.

This wiki aims to be an interesting and useful resource for anyone interested in that music, as well as an archive for all things related.
