The best to represent the song in my opinion was Rosebot: in the song the singer is repeating "you just made a monster," acknowledging that they themselves are no longer a person and informing their initiator of what they had done. While designing the drawing I decided that rosebot had to be the center of attention of the piece so I focused on her color pallet and her aspect, light, was made to be just as robotic as she is, with orange metal linings as an example of ult dirks influence on her. The purple background is taken by her lunar sway, also, it was a good color to accompany the yellow in the piece. The rest are random metal plates with lining in between each plate forming a sort of tunnel with the only light being Rosebot and a clock of the moon and the sun surrounding her, each with their own meaning. In the end I love how the final piece came to be, I feel that it represents the song very well, and I had fun sharing with the organizers and the other artists. To be the first time working in this manner in a community was nice and I hope in the future to have similar opportunities like this.

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.

This image of Terezi standing in the Land of Thought and Flow is what inspired the opening arpeggio for Frost. The whole Land’s environment is fascinating to me, and I simply had to write a theme for that medium world. As I have probably mentioned, my preference in writing music is for settings, which gives me my really ambient sound, contrary to other musicians on the team who prefer to write melodical songs describing emotions and people. I ended up realizing an industrial kit would work extremely well for an unusual drum beat, particularly to contrast the incredibly ethereal sound I had already established. Hell, this song is so ambient people have a hard time telling what the melody is… and no, it’s not the french horn. :D @@ -71,7 +72,8 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/k_-LPPdHEyA?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ Commentary: <i>Erik Scheele:</i> - <img src="misc/gamebro-original-1990-mix.jpg"> + <img src="media/misc/gamebro-original-1990-mix.jpg"> + <img src="media/misc/gamebro-original-1990-mix.jpg"> THE GAMES, WILL, NEVER STOP THE GAMES WILL NEVER STOP you know the rest @@ -93,7 +95,8 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/xStVhvhg1i4?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ Commentary: <i>Erik Scheele:</i> - <img src="misc/tribal-ebonpyre.jpg"> + <img src="media/misc/tribal-ebonpyre.jpg"> + <img src="media/misc/tribal-ebonpyre.jpg"> naknaknaknaknaknaknaknaknaknak Although I didn't think the crocodiles would be so low, but whichever ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/album/homestuck-vol-8.txt b/album/homestuck-vol-8.txt index d532cf51..ff78b290 100644 --- a/album/homestuck-vol-8.txt +++ b/album/homestuck-vol-8.txt @@ -228,7 +228,8 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/7aYso7j8wsw?list=PLnVpmehyaOFa9Ssz0RANELG8eSoUeOQiC Commentary: <i>Hilary Troiano:</i> - Someone sent me a PM asking for some commentary about my two MSPA songs, so <a href="misc/hilary-troiano-commentary.mp3">here it is</a>.

Buzinkai’s usage of PXTONE is indeed charming and nostalgic-sounding, but I wanted to push things bit further.

My strings then sound more “lush” but less “urgent.”</p></li> <li><p>I added a section between the original A section and B section with lower intensity. This was because the song got a bit too repetitive and static simply repeating like Buzinkai’s. Oddly, the repeats didn’t bother me in his track.

I’m really grateful to be included on the album and I’m glad people seem to like the track. Fun if somewhat nerdy fact: The power down sound that leads into the guitar solo section is actually the sound made when the Hammond organ is switched off while holding down the last chord. The tonewheels inside the organ that generate the pitches start to slow down before the amplifier cuts out so you can hear the pitch lower before the sound stops.
