It’s so much better now than it used to be. This latest version is meant to tie in with the title screen music. It’s based around Joey and Jude’s theme, and has a few nods in there to some others if you’re listening. @@ -56,6 +60,10 @@ Duration: '2:50' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/joey-claire-extraordinaire-2 - https://youtu.be/LL5qZ5zBAIc +MIDI Project Files: +- Title: MIDI by Unknown + Files: + - 'Joey Claire, Extraordinaire - Unknown.mid' Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> When Toby sent me the original piano sketch for Joey’s theme it was real good but I thought since Joey dances, what if I made it sound like a dance recital? I used to take dance classes when I was a kid, and I have very distinct memories of a kindly old woman playing bouncy piano chords in ¾ time. One of the design choices Toby and I settled on really early on was that each character would have a “room” that be the purest form of their theme. Joey feels most at home in her bedroom, which is a sanctuary from the rest of the awful house she lives in. @@ -69,6 +77,10 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/jfdTeNsU4ow Referenced Tracks: - Joey Claire, Extraordinaire +MIDI Project Files: +- Title: MIDI by Unknown + Files: + - 'Half-Harley Manor - Unknown.mid' Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> This went through a bunch of revisions, too. It used a lot of harpsichord originally, which we then thought we’d use a little more sparingly. When we first came onto the project Andrew told us “it’s like a haunted house” so we really made it like… spooky but months down the line Andrew was like “ok lads reel it in it’s not actually haunted just lonely” so we switched it to piano and toned it down a bit. Toby ended up doing the final version of this one, though I think a piano version I did exists somewhere too. @@ -113,6 +125,10 @@ URLs: Referenced Tracks: - SERPENT GENESIS - Half-Harley Manor +MIDI Project Files: +- Title: MIDI by IronInvoker47 + Files: + - "That's How I Beat Snake - IronInvoker47 (piano).mid" Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> Originally all the strife song titles had the word STRIFE in them. This one was called “Why’d it have to be STRIFE” a reference to the classic line in Indiana Jones where Indy, a known pacifist, questions the violent tone of the film. It is an extremely important moment in american cinema AND meta comedy. I’m honestly so surprised you hadn’t heard of it. Anyway this is based off of “SNAKE GENESIS” which I wrote first.

Also him and Dammek are in a shitty rock band. So I tried to compose something that was kind of lumbering and morose-sounding, but also a bit like… a rock band? In the end maybe it’s a bit too heavy-sounding for Xefros, but I like the melody a lot. Also here’s more voluntary tubas from me. That’s all of my tuba contributions I think. @@ -288,6 +319,13 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/Du1cFu4zl4o Referenced Tracks: - Rustblood +MIDI Project Files: +- Title: MIDI by Unknown + Files: + - 'Filthy Nuclear Bunker - Unknown A.mid' +- Title: MIDI by Unknown + Files: + - 'Filthy Nuclear Bunker - Unknown B.mid' Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> James: This is the most James Roach™ track on the album and it’s extremely good. I wrote <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXIB50mB3k">this melody</a> when I was 12 and I sneak it into every major project I’m in. I have rewritten and remixed and remastered this song about a thousand times. The melody is named “Nuclear” so I made sure that was somewhere in the title. |
