There are heavily vibrato'd strings... wavering, luscious 7th chords... melodic piano... lots of arpeggios... and a general uplifting feeling of satisfying, calm emotion. She is one of the very few characters in Hivebent that I would categorize as "sane" by human standards, and thus actually one of my favorite trolls. And despite the semi-low quality of the instrumentation, this is one of my favorite tracks by myself. It's all kind of ghostly and heartfelt, like a sad look out the window with a romance novel in your lap, and then a knowing, welcoming smile. I think that makes sense considering she's an undead vampire now! Or not. + + <i>Toby Fox:</i> ([toby fox portfolio page 2011 wip](https://web.archive.org/web/20111107184748/http://tobyfox.net/portfolio) - "Finished Tracks") + + In a world full of angry alien trolls ([[track:karkats-theme|see: Karkat]]), Kanaya alone is caring, polite, and motherly. She lives in a tower out in the desert trying on different fashionable outfits in the normally deadly alien sunshine, which doesn't affect her for some reason. Instrumentation is kind of like a Playstation-era song. --- Track: Requiem Of Sunshine And Rainbows Artists: @@ -771,10 +779,8 @@ MIDI Project Files: - Title: MIDI by IronInvoker47 (piano) Files: - "Eridan's Theme - IronInvoker47 (piano).mid" -Commentary: |- - <i>David Ko:</i> (lyricist, booklet commentary) - - (Eridan Walkabout) +Lyrics: |- + <i>David Ko:</i> (booklet lyrics) O come all ye scallywags, sing along with me,<br> (For) we are the royal trolls, the terrors of the sea!<br> @@ -822,12 +828,18 @@ Commentary: |- Soon we'll be coming to ruin your day,<br> Just resign to your fate.<br> Soon you'll be made into Gl'Bgolyb bait. - +Commentary: |- <i>Toby Fox:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + (Eridan Walkabout) + Lyrics by [[artist:david-ko]].

However, he also suffers from teenage angst issues and is pathetically lonely. Oops. Instrumenation is modelled after the Sega Genesis. The slower middle section is an arrangement of Alex Rosetti's [[track:catchyegrabber-skipper-plumbthroats-song|"Catchyegrabber,"]] which I had the pleasure of singing in, actually. --- Track: Nautical Nightmare Artists: @@ -1318,6 +1330,10 @@ Commentary: |- (God-Vriska's Finest Hour) What's wrong, baby?

This song wasn't used in Homestuck, but it'd be pretty fitting.

Same with the roaring cymbals and the jumpy bassline. The orchestra hits have a bunch of cool effects on them, too - vibrato, echo, pan, pitch shift... all within the limitations of something a SNES could do!
