I was walking through a small lot to my apartment in the summertime, and fireflies were all around me.

For me it was a cue that there needed to be a Sburb Alpha universe parallel for the song [[track:maplehoofs-adventure]], which in itself was a spiritual sequel to [[Pony Chorale]]. It's sort of a reality check to realize that I have written not one, not two, but three songs for cartoon ponies now - I guess that's part of this disease we call the Internet. @@ -906,7 +906,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - English - Explore Commentary: |- - <i>Mark J.

In this case, I combined 'Explore' and 'English' in a style inspired by the sailing theme from 'Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'. (It's easy to miss the theme from 'English', since it's a lot more upbeat and in a major key.)

Composer Hideki Naganuma has created some of the most intricate and engaging pieces of dance music I've ever heard - his signature approach is his construction of entire songs around only a handful of samples (check out ["Funky Dealer"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpAF8bGm-MM) for a good example). @@ -1158,7 +1158,7 @@ Art Tags: - Tavros - Vriska Commentary: |- - <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, via [early commentary collection](https://hsmusic.wiki/media/misc/commentary-collection.txt), excerpt) + <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (composer, via [[media:misc/commentary-collection.txt|early commentary collection]], excerpt) Before there was 20+ hours of music in the Homestuck catalog, the music team's task was to create new themes at a moment's notice for new elements of the story. When Tavrisprite appeared in the comic, I challenged myself to make a suitable theme at the same pace I might once have cobbled something together back in 2009. I posted the resulting demo track on my Soundcloud the same day as the character made its debut. @@ -1236,7 +1236,7 @@ Lyrics: |- Early to bed, and you'll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it can never trouble you<br>Make her a member of the Midnight Crew!

Where Courser is a theme for Bec, Coursing can be thought of as a theme for GCat, though in my mind it encompasses the idea of any First Guardian. It is not a "remix" or even an arrangement of Courser, but it is based off Courser's material and of course heavily references it and quotes it. I hope you enjoy!

"Another Countdown" was thus the sister song of [[track:sburban-countdown|"Sburban Countdown"]] - both are brief arrangements of their parent songs ([[track:another-jungle|"Another Jungle"]] and [[track:sburban-jungle|"Sburban Jungle"]] respectively) meant to crescendo towards a major climax. |
