The two main ones that were used for this and Hardlyquin (Both were used in the comic for more or less the same joke). The goal was to basically make something so dramatically epic and life-changing that it would just be incredibly silly. (I believe Hardlyquin ended audibly on a joke sound, while I wanted Revelawesome to be played as straight as possible). + And it was. + The music was based on some earlier work I did on an old Sonic Fangame (Completely forget which one - Think it was a boss theme) that I re-tuned for orchestra and gave it more of a buildup. The name was a play on Andrew's penchant for Portmentaeeu that-word-meaning-combining-two-words-together. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Hardlyquin +Artist: Mark Hadley +Duration: 1:38 +References: +- track:harlequin +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hardlyquin-3 +- https://youtu.be/CN04ruWv30g +Commentary: + <i>Mark Hadley:</i> + When Andrew asked us to do something for a shock and surprise for the upcoming reveal of John's Dad's room, this is what I came up with. I slipped some Harlequin in there for good measure. The original version was exactly as it appears in the comic (complete with the record scratch at the end), and I lengthened it for the soundtrack since it was so very, very short. Somehow it came out creepier in that version. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Mutiny +Artist: Bill Bolin +Duration: 2:59 +Has URLs: no +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Carefree Victory +Artist: Andrew Huo, Toby Fox +Duration: 1:36 +References: +- track:carefree-action +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/carefree-victory-3 +- https://youtu.be/2z1Rp2UynQE +Commentary: + <i>Andrew Huo:</i> + Carefree Victory is really Hadley's baby, and I would feel like I'm plagiarizing to really call it my own. I really just dictated his piece, called Carefree Action, put it into PXTone, added some lines, changed the tempo, and added a coda (which wasn't even used in the comic, I think?). + One of the lines I added, for the intro, was roughly inspired by Cave Story music. I'm pretty Cave Story-influenced, especially with Homestuck stuff. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Guardian V2 +Artist: Bill Bolin +Duration: 1:20 +References: +- track:guardian +Has URLs: no +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Contention +Directory: contention-vol4 +Artist: +- Bill Bolin +- Toby Fox +Duration: 2:28 +Has URLs: no +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Ballad of Awakening +Artist: Malcolm Brown +Duration: 3:08 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ballad-of-awakening-3 +- https://youtu.be/ZmJ3Ex2jguE +Commentary: + <i>Malcolm Brown:</i> + Jade. I think, at least if not Jade then certainly something about Dreams (Which a lot of the story was turning into via the Prospit/Derse stuff). It was prevalent that a lot of Jade's character was coming from vague aloofness, yet a degree of precognition via dreaming that would prove central to the character and the concept of Sburb. + Thus, it's a playful kind of dream-like melody. A little scatterbrained a quite unusual (Namely due to the time signature which is something like 6/4). I came up with the melody years ago, and it's mostly just playing about on the sharp/flat keys on a keyboard. I generally don't like incorporating it too much because the chord progression sounds a <i>bit</i> too close to Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" (Which was released way after I originally came up with the melody for BoA, but is infinitely more popular) + Despite being used in 'The Flash Where Nothing Happens' and also being quite long, it's still one of my closet favourite tracks. So much so I did a remake that never made it to any album because it wasn't really anything new. In any case, it's <a href="https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/joy-and-dreams-eternal">here</a>. + I then took an enormous break from HS (shortly after doing a Squiddles track that I don't particularly like) and wouldn't be back 'till around about the time of AlternaBound had started being a discussed thing. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Sburban Jungle +Artist: Michael Guy Bowman +Duration: 3:39 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle-3 +- https://youtu.be/gOSnen64a7M +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Three in the Morning (RJ's I Can Barely Sleep In This Casino Remix) +Artist: Robert J!

I then put together a larger mix of the tune with shinier production and a glockenspiel tag, and this was the version Andrew used in the end. + <i>Buzinkai:</i> + Doctor was written before Homestuck, actually. The only thing I can really remember was that Super Smash Bros Brawl came out right before I finished it. The original loop (which is not the one specifically heard in the comic, but was included in the album release) was directly inspired by music from Cave Story, and I was trying to at the time musically embody how I felt at the time, I think. Though it never seems to come out exactly as I plan it, I enjoyed the results. I will say that I cannot truly believe how many people have remixed it. + The arpeggio part at the end goes between the left, both, and right speakers sequentially. I was too lazy to set the channel settings manually, so I did each note on a different instrument, which is set to each speaker channel. Not many people know that, and I think it actually made it a living hell for remixers who got a hold of the original file. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Endless Climb +Artist: Buzinkai +Duration: 1:24 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/endless-climb-3 +- https://youtu.be/_cCc7xv6uCk +Commentary: + <i>Buzinkai:</i> + The inspiration for this was from a not-very-well-known indie game called Tower of Heaven, which has phenomenal music. Believe it or not, the arpeggios were written first, and the main melody was written last. I tend to write songs backwards sometimes. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Atomyk Ebonpyre +Artist: Toby Fox +Duration: 1:10 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/atomyk-ebonpyre-3 +- https://youtu.be/zECoOQ668nA +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Black +Artist: Toby Fox +Duration: 2:24 +Art Tags: cw: blood +References: +- track:liquid-negrocity +Samples: +- track:im-a-member-of-the-midnight-crew +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-3 +- https://youtu.be/5NACWZBDtN8 +Lyrics: + Make her a member of the Midnight Crew! + + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the Midnight Crew! + + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the- + + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the Midnight Crew! + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the Midnight Crew! + + I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the Midnight Crew! + I'm a- I'm a- I'm a member of the- + I'm a member of the Midnight Crew! \ No newline at end of file |
