Doing CANHS in a more serious manner (all my other ones have been jokes) is a funny thing; you have to make a song that fits the feel of the flash while avoiding replicating the original song. I got a boost here by not being the first person to replace the music on this flash; [[group:toby-fox|Radiation]] did it when [[artist:bill-bolin|Bolin]] left, and I still prefer the original, which is why the opening is a riff on his opening. I went for a much softer approach than Toby's harsh synths/strings for the second half, too. Formation is an underrated motif, even if my transcription is rather imperfect. - <i>nights:</i> (Artist) + <i>Nights:</i> (Artist) i drew this with a broken mouse. the wheel doesnt work. the right click and the left click do double clicks at random. i want you to know how much suffering ive endured, only to be told that nobody has to time to buy me a new mouse. i will forever have to live with a broken mouse, for the rest of my life. also, this track is good and deserves better art. <i>Wheals:</i> (Composer) @@ -407,10 +407,10 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Courser Commentary: |- <i>cookiefonster:</i> (Interloper) - If this song had [[track:snow-halation|Snow Halation]] in it, it wouldn't be the worst song on the soundtrack anymore. + If this song had [[Snow Halation]] in it, it wouldn't be the worst song on the soundtrack anymore. <i>StarlightCalliope:</i> (Composer) - Cookie, please, we all know that [[track:we-are-number-one|We Are Number One]] is a vastly superior [[artist:siivagunner|Siiva]] meme to Snow Halation.

Originally, I was inspired by how one Homestuck Musician, (if I recall correctly it was [[artist:erik-scheele|Jit]],) said that he felt like Crystalanthemums was going to be Jade's Land Theme. As this was to be a remix for Jade's Land reveal, my original starting concept was, "Frost but with Crystalanthemums."

The only thing that really remained unchanged was the Violin Arpeggio. I had planned to use [[track:frog-forager|Frog Forager]] as a continuation melody to Crystalanthemums at this time, but that melody didn't quite seem to fit the song, and I instead replaced it with a change to the Drum Beat at that point (said drum beat pretty heavily inspired/referencing Crystamanthequins or whatever the name was for the one in [[flash:2578|[S] Make Her Pay]].

Regardless of that, it was a pleasure to make this song for any productive work, and to have hadron remake it in his own style. This song was made without any real acquired inspiration from other songs, which believe it or not is what I typically don't do when I make music. I really like the way I arranged the song, and how it sorta shifts into a piratey theme towards the second half in the full version (I'm not sure if that makes it into the overall act 7 theme). <i>Wheals:</i> (Composer, 2:12-2:35) - CRASH.

Initially I attempted to fuse the end of that song with Even in Death, but that idea had little success. Frustrated, I settled for the acoustic guitar part of beginning of the piece (with some changes) and added in some atmosphere, which noatably included Foley, used near the very beginning of the comic.
