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 [[track:showtime-original-mix|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. - <i>Sollay:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://vol5anthology.tumblr.com/post/159969890431/sol-lay-my-second-piece-for-the-vol-5-anthology)) + <i>Sollay:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://vol5anthology.tumblr.com/post/159969890431/sol-lay-my-second-piece-for-the-vol-5-anthology), sometime 4/13/2017 - 4/25/2017) My second piece for the Vol 5 Anthology project!! --- @@ -341,7 +341,7 @@ Commentary: |- 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 [[artist:toby-fox|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 [[artist:michael-guy-bowman|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 [[track:squiddles|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. @@ -427,7 +427,7 @@ MIDI Project Files: Files: - 'An Unbreakable Union - Unknown.mid' Commentary: |- - <i>cityinthesea:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://vol5anthology.tumblr.com/post/159956686110/cityinthesea-an-unbreakable-union-my-second)) + <i>cityinthesea:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://vol5anthology.tumblr.com/post/159956686110/cityinthesea-an-unbreakable-union-my-second), sometime 4/13/2017 - 4/24/2017) *an unbreakable union* @@ -465,7 +465,7 @@ Commentary: |- Composed by Andrew Huo.

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.

It started life as a theme for the Aimless Renegade, inspired by a [[track:desperado|"Desperado"]] theme which I believe was written by [[artist:bill-bolin|Bolin]] back when he was still part of the team. 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. I re-tooled the accompaniment to fit, and it became a piece that I always considered a theme for Derse.

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 [[artist:toby-fox|Radiation]] did with it turning it into [[Skaian Skirmish]] worked really well. There was some vague artistic direction from [[artist:andrew-hussie|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? Yeah, let's go with that. - <i>innocuoussketches:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://innocuoussketches.tumblr.com/post/159539323467/heres-my-piece-from-the-vol-5-anthology-fan)) + <i>innocuoussketches:</i> (anthology artist, [Tumblr](https://innocuoussketches.tumblr.com/post/159539323467/heres-my-piece-from-the-vol-5-anthology-fan), 4/13/2017) Here’s my piece from the [Vol. 5 Anthology fan project](http://vol5anthology.tumblr.com/) and illustrated art for the track [Skaian Skuffle](https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-skuffle-2).

The chord pattern is one that I'd liked for several months, possibly even a year or two, without ever having come up with something good enough to write to it. Then, one evening while I was in the shower (all of my best ideas come from the shower) my mind pulled together a half-remembered bassline from an obscure-ish Sonic the Hedgehog game and a brief snippet from an old quiz show called Catchphrase, and strung them into the main harmonies of the piece.
