But I had nothing but cheap stuff at the time, so I think this one suffers a lot. Personal regret aside, I composed this as an ode to John, so it features the themes from Showtime and Harlequin. I wanted something big and dramatic, so I went the semi-orchestral route, and completely transformed the context of the two melodies I used to suit the mood of the piece. In particular, Harlequin seems almost unrecognizable unless you're paying attention or have a good ear. I think its attempt to come off as big and noble is a little heavy-handed at times, but it would definitely be a fun one to come back to and update. @@ -85,7 +86,7 @@ Art Tags: - Squiddles URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/jades-lullaby-2 -- https://youtu.be/7gD-IPfN6FUg +- https://youtu.be/7gD-IPfN6FU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Aggrievance Artist: Mark Hadley @@ -96,7 +97,7 @@ Art Tags: - Rose URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/aggrievance-2 -- https://youtu.be/RcI76YVobAIg +- https://youtu.be/RcI76YVobAI Commentary: <i>Mark Hadley:</i> Since Aggrieve was the first song I wrote for Homestuck, I also imagined it would be the first thing I would remix.

It came about in a strange, almost fateful way, and I think the final product reflects that. It was the first thing that Radiation and I worked on together, and it was through Hardchorale that our friendship started. He approached me with a MIDI file he had made, intending it to be a sort of "boss battle" arrangement of Chorale for Jaspers in the style of Harleboss. He asked if I would be interested in producing it, since at the time he was just starting out and had no means to do so. I agreed, Chorale being one of my favorite Homestuck tunes. So I produced it in a DAW to make it sound "good", and relative to the MIDI file it sounded great, and we were both really happy with it. Radiation got Bowman to record some heavy metal meows, which he apparently almost got kicked out of his apartment for recording and claims to have video of, though I have yet to see it. Once I found out it was going to be on Vol. 5, I added a section to it (roughly the last third of the piece) and at the very end sneaked the Squiddles theme just because I could. I realize that was more of a narrative than a commentary, but it's the history behind this piece that I find fun to talk about more than the piece itself. @@ -137,7 +138,7 @@ Art Tags: - Becquerel URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union-2 -- https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Qg +- https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Q ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Skaian Ride Artist: Seth Peelle, Andrew Huo @@ -151,7 +152,7 @@ Art Tags: - Dirk URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-ride-2 -- https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4g +- https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: White Artist: Toby Fox @@ -162,7 +163,7 @@ Art Tags: - PM URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/white-2 -- https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKkg +- https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Octoroon Rangoon Artist: Toby Fox @@ -177,7 +178,7 @@ Art Tags: - Jack Noir URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/octoroon-rangoon-2 -- https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8wg +- https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8w Lyrics: Make her a member of the Midnight Crew! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -193,7 +194,7 @@ Art Tags: - cw: eye horror URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings-2 -- https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxsg +- https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Welcome to the New Extreme Artist: Robert J!

This is the reason Jit has gone on the record as saying Crystamenthequins was intended to accompany Jade's island being destroyed/her entering her land (I'm pretty sure that's how he described it) was because of this song. It's actually a really simple tune, and I've wanted to expand on it for ages but never got around to it. The entire piece consists of the same simple chord progression, but it's a good, if played out, progression. That and the beautiful harmonies one is guaranteed to find with it is why I think this is one of my more popular songs. It's not as well-composed as I'd like it to be, but it is definitely catchy. And Radiation was responsible for the name, jokingly calling it "crystalanthemums" after I described it sound like a crystalline flower. I decided that was as good a name as any, and I've had the pleasure of infecting its two remixes with such silly-sounding titles. @@ -228,7 +229,7 @@ Duration: 5:06 References: Skies of Skaia URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaia-incipisphere-mix-2 -- https://youtu.be/IaT2a68dyJog +- https://youtu.be/IaT2a68dyJo Commentary: <i>Solatrus:</i> <i>(original commentary)</i> @@ -259,7 +260,7 @@ Art Tags: - Rose URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sarabande-2 -- https://youtu.be/bkzYLa9iR6Qg +- https://youtu.be/bkzYLa9iR6Q Commentary: <i>Erik Scheele:</i> I’ll never really know what happened to produce this.

Actually, it's probably the lowest quality thing I have ever released as Homestuck music. It's just sloppy. But there's a bit more to it than that, and that lies in its instrumentation. This was the first piece I ever composed where I explored colorful and playful orchestration. The xylophone and pizzicato strings that I was playing around with would become my bread and butter a couple years later. I'm not currently known among the Homestuck musicians as being an orchestral composer, but I've reached the point where there's nothing I like composing more than fully orchestrated pieces. At least as far as soundtrack music goes. And not just fully orchestrated either, there's a certain sense of color I love exploring and I like making lighter sounds despite using a bigger and more imposing ensemble. I haven't released anything that showcases that yet, but I definitely will be in the future, so I think that's something to be excited about. @@ -526,7 +527,7 @@ Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/underworld-2 -- https://youtu.be/TzVrxUlBYOAg +- https://youtu.be/TzVrxUlBYOA Commentary: <i>Steve Everson:</i> My other favourite from Volume 5.

I wasn’t really running on any particular goal of contributing so much as liking the style and wanting to make something similar. Imagine the piece as it is now played by some sort of mariachi band and you might have the right idea of what it originally sounded like. Naturally, it didn’t quite fit. I liked the melody but it just wasn’t working for the whole desert hero thing. So I flipped through my library of voices (small though it was back then) and came across the more electronic one that plays the melody now.

The bass progression matches Skies of Skaia's, with more bounce to it, and the melody of Skies of Skaia was quantified/simplified into a repeating motif. It was mostly composed by feel the rest of the way. I actually had writer's block for a while after I reached about 1:02, and it never really got resolved, which is why 1:21 onwards feels kinda awkward and not so great. I kinda wish I could go back and redo it so it sounds better. But what Radiation did with it turning it into Skaian Skirmish worked really well. There was some vague artistic direction from the Big Man that helped with this a little bit. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of "okay, maybe you can bring it down a bit in the middle, then ramp it up for the big finish." So I tried to do that using a new bassline, using wandering skips of third and fourth rather than downwise step in an attempt to mirror Skies of Skaia's original melody, as well as scrambling the repeating sixteenth note motif based on the original melody. Like I said, though, I would say it worked out awkwardly rather than well. It does create a certain mood, which, like I said, Radiation capitalized on. Whoops, I just repeated myself, but in more detail the second time. What's that called in literary device terms? Amplification?

From there I just lay an improvised piano melody on top. @@ -776,7 +777,7 @@ Art Tags: - Jade URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/snow-pollen-2 -- https://youtu.be/xFTuVM3nACYg +- https://youtu.be/xFTuVM3nACY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Candles and Clockwork Artist: James Dever @@ -787,7 +788,7 @@ Art Tags: - cw: corpses (abstract) URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/candles-and-clockwork-2 -- https://youtu.be/gTNWsk3dKqcg +- https://youtu.be/gTNWsk3dKqc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Can Town Artist: Alex Rosetti @@ -797,7 +798,7 @@ Art Tags: - WV URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/can-town-2 -- https://youtu.be/-BP2X5opz4Mg +- https://youtu.be/-BP2X5opz4M ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Plague Doctor Artist: Steve Everson @@ -808,7 +809,7 @@ Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/plague-doctor-2 -- https://youtu.be/SnVdIDSx5-Ig +- https://youtu.be/SnVdIDSx5-I Commentary: <i>Steve Everson:</i> I’m sure you all know the story behind the Doctor remixes. During the Intermission Andrew wanted a remix of that to use for LOWAS and everyone jumped at the chance. This was my contribution. It’s a pretty straight transcription to different instruments. Nowadays I find that a little disappointing. I started writing a new version not long ago; maybe one day I’ll finish it and post it here. @@ -822,7 +823,7 @@ Art Tags: - John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/enlightenment-2 -- https://youtu.be/h0UVwLDYneIg +- https://youtu.be/h0UVwLDYneI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Doctor Remix Artist: Gabe Nezovic @@ -834,7 +835,7 @@ Art Tags: - cw: blood URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/doctor-remix-2 -- https://youtu.be/EhVwra6X4B0g +- https://youtu.be/EhVwra6X4B0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Biophosphoradelecrystalluminescence Artist: Robert J!

While that was a very driving melody, I opted to come up with something that might be more suitable for credits (opening or end) or a title screen. I really like how this came out; it sounds a bit moody, but still optimistic, which is what I was aiming for. |
