Back when I joined the DMT, I wrote a song called [[track:cooldown-desynced|"Cooldown"]] that was intended to be Dad Bedford's Strife theme. Initially I had intended it to be a strife theme for both Dad and Kate sort of how [[track:aggrieve|"Aggrieve"]] from the Homestuck OST was a strife theme for both Rose and Her Mom. However, as I read the comic further, I understood that Dad probably would never raise a hand toward toward his daughter (but dear-person is different story). With this in mind, I decided to set out and make a strife theme specifically for Kate. I had intended this song to be on [[album:desynced-vol-2|Volume 2]] but we needed to round out the track list for Volume 1 and my song fit the general tone of the album. As for the song itself, I decided to go for a more 8-bit direction that was reminiscent of the early Homestuck strife themes like [[track:showtime-original-mix|Showtime]] and Aggrieve. I incorporated elements of Kate's theme, [[track:daughter-desynced|"Daughter"]] as well as the previously mentioned "Cooldown" I'm fairly proud of how this track turned out, especially with the Cooldown section towards the middle. --- Track: Temporal Guardian Artists: @@ -173,6 +177,10 @@ Cover Artists: - Siedlag Art Tags: - Kate's dad (Desynced) +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WDN1T5Q12c), excerpt) + + Cooldown is a bit special to me since it was the first track I wrote when I joined the desynced team back in November 2019. [[artist:dizzims|Dizzy]] needed a strife theme for Dad Bedford since the person who was initially going to make it left the project before I joined and I was more than happy to fill in. Seeing as this was going to be the first strife theme for Desynced, I took major inspiration from the track [[track:showtime-original-mix|"Showtime"]] by Malcolm Brown as that was the first strife theme in Homestuck. I wanted to created a melody that was as catchy, memorable and remixable as Showtime's main melody. Despite it being my first song for Desynced, it still one of my favorites compositions. --- Track: Behind the Door Artists: @@ -405,6 +413,10 @@ Art Tags: - Gaea (Desynced) Referenced Tracks: - track:daughter-desynced +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lfj9Et420Q), excerpt) + + [[artist:dizzims|Dizzy]] wanted a theme for Kate's Denizen, Gaea that was a variation of The song [[track:daughter-desynced|"Daughter"]] by PotatoBoss. So I took the opening chords and arranged them into the repeating motif you hear throughout the song. I got the idea from listening to the track [[track:penumbra-phantasm|"Penumbra phantasm"]] and hearing how that track arranged the chords for [[Doctor]]. --- Track: Noir Directory: noir-desynced @@ -446,6 +458,10 @@ Cover Artists: - artist:dizzims Art Tags: - Evan (Desynced) +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgJWjLDRdxs), excerpt) + + I initially wrote this track for [[album:homestuck-vol-2|Volume 2]] as theme for Evan's Land. At time of writing, the land has yet to be revealed so I am somewhat limited in what I can say right now. Given that I was writing a land theme, I took major inspiration from some of the Homestuck land themes (I.E [[track:doctor|Doctor]], [[track:candles-and-clockwork|CaC]], [[track:endless-climb|Endless Climb]]).In terms of the song itself, I decided to mess around with counterplay between melodic lines.This experimentation led to some interesting results melody and motif wise.
