After the release of the incredible [[album:homestuck-vol-10]], which was a sort of epitaph to the official music team, [a Q&A stream was held with the musicians](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJWqqikd6S0). There was a bittersweet tinge to it, not just because of Homestuck's recent ending, but because they reflected on their artistic trajectories and how they had been musical amateurs that had been able to refine and hone their skill through the comic's run. To me at least they had always felt like inimitable performers, even if I'd always aspired to be as good as them or as the high-quality fan music that was being made at the time. But their encouraging talk about how they had progressed as artists over the years led to an idea formed right there, in the livestream chat.

I can explain, okay? This is an oblique reference to the album [[album:medium]]. When it was initially released, there was a lot of speculation, particularly on the MSPA Forums, around the idea of combining or layering the different tracks on the album to find cool mashups, particularly the matching song pairs for each Land. It was even implied that this was a specific musical choice by [[artist:clark-powell]], to make 'hidden' music (she immediately denied this, but it had no effect). Ultimately it culminated in the creation of 'Medium - Mega Mix', which was for all intents and purposes all eight tracks in the album sandwiched on top of one another into an ungodly sound wall, which was nevertheless positively received by fans. This worthless shitpost of a song is based on that phenomenon, as well as being a sort of 'tribute' to [[album:homestuck-vol-10]] which had after all been the insipration to establish CaNMT in the first place. @@ -1526,5 +1526,5 @@ Art Tags: - Hecka Jef - Earth Commentary: |- - <i>Niklink:</i> + <i>Niklink:</i> (wiki editor, 3/29/2022) Another art self-assignment, but I think it ended up alright.
