I wrote Little Miss Fortune as a sad song for Serpaz. I felt like a lot of Serpaz’s music leaned heavily on being silly and goofy, so to stand out I decided to write something distinctly sad sounding. I remember the unreleased Homestuck song “Aradia’s Theme” was the main point of inspiration for this song. I do find it somewhat amusing that the song wound up forecasting the direction Serpaz’s story would go. Returning to the point I made at the start, if the b-section melody sounds familiar it’s because I remixed it in [[The Fool Does Not Laugh]], which was in turn remixed by both Rab in [[track:fools-plea|Fool’s plea]]. The song has a pretty far reaching musical legacy despite only now getting released. +--- +Track: Paradise Shatters +Duration: 3:11 +Artists: +- Witch's Cadence +- Nahu Pyrope (featuring) +Cover Artists: +- ValantWynn +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/paradise-shatters +--- +Track: Twice As Bright +Duration: 6:16 +Artists: +- Cristata +Cover Artists: +- Divo +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/twice-as-bright +--- +Track: DYNAMISM +Suffix Directory: true +Duration: 3:04 +Artists: +- METIANULL +Cover Artists: +- rurichoo +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/dynamism +--- +Track: MELTDOWN +Suffix Directory: true +Duration: 3:07 +Artists: +- Ucklin +Cover Artists: +- verprost +Contributors: +- Tycoon (production) +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/meltdown +Lyrics: |- + I've got this whole exclusion zone all to myself + It's winter in my room cause I make my own clouds + You love me in an instant, I hurt you the next day + You should've kept your distance or listen to them say + That I could meltdown + + You're reaching out your hand to mess with my cell + You'd have to be a fool to help me all the way out + I'm flat on my back at the bottom of the pool + I'd like to see you try to find a use for spent fuel + And I could meltdown + (Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me) + (Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me) + + Maybe with the terror there's a power as well + Marrying the pure core with the stakes and the doubt + You're okay with the risk of occupational exposure + I've put the warnings up and (all of) you still seem so sure + But I could meltdown + + (I could meltdown) + I'd like to see you try and find a use for spent fuel + (I could meltdown) + Maybe with the terror there's a power as well + I'd like to see you try and find a use for spent fuel + (Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me) + (Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me) + Maybe with the terror there's a power as well + (Don't leave me, don't leave me, dont leave me!) +--- +Track: White Vitriol +Duration: 4:13 +Artists: +- Tycoon +Cover Artists: +- TK +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/white-vitriol +Sampled Tracks: +- Spatial Lights Above +--- +Track: Flyfish +Duration: 2:54 +Artists: +- METIANULL +Cover Artists: +- Diz +Art Tags: +- 'cw: alcohol' +- 'cw: blood' +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/flyfish +--- +Track: IN IT TO WIN IT +Duration: 4:09 +Artists: +- Cristata +Cover Artists: +- captkirkland +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/in-it-to-win-it +--- +Track: The Respect You Rightfully Deserve +Duration: 7:17 +Artists: +- autumnalEquinox +Cover Artists: +- bart skrampson +Art Tags: +- 'cw: drowning (abstract)' +Referenced Tracks: +- track:the-respect-you-rightfully-deserve-soundcloud +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/the-respect-you-rightfully-deserve +--- +Track: Spiritstriker +Duration: 3:30 +Artists: +- Witch's Cadence +Cover Artists: +- verprost +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/spiritstriker +--- +Track: The Stars Speak Back +Duration: 3:20 +Artists: +- autumnalEquinox +Cover Artists: +- Awkward +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/the-stars-speak-back +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKhf2AxK0fM +--- +Track: Accel / Exceed +Additional Names: +- Name: >- + Accel/Exceed + Annotation: >- + [Composer's YouTube title](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SuHe2Vblu0) +Duration: 2:31 +Artists: +- Rainy +Cover Artists: +- bisectro +Art Tags: +- 'cw: blood (abstract)' +- 'cw: decapitation (abstract)' +Referenced Tracks: +- Like Tears in Rain +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/accel-exceed +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SuHe2Vblu0 +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SuHe2Vblu0), excerpt) + + Accel/Exceed was the first track of the new batch of songs I wrote for Vol.6 and is easily one of my favorites of the bunch. I initially wrote the main synth/piano motif when I was doing a bit of riff writing practice. I wanted to get a piano motif that sounded like the main riff from [“Lust Sin”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRMEZNW5Ais) by Daisuke Ishiwatari. I wasn’t even going to use it for Vast Error, but I felt like it was too good to not use for something. I remember reading the post-incursion part of the comic and having Hamifi fresh on the mind, so I decided to make a song for her using the motif I had written previously. When I started the song, I decided to take the song from the initial riff in a more action-y breakbeat direction in the vein of [“Fairfrozen”](https://ristaccia.bandcamp.com/track/fairfrozen-selicys-theme) by STEEL_PLUS. I’ve always associated Hamifi with “elegant” instrumentation like strings and piano in addition to corporate’s more electronic soundscape, so those made up the instrumental pallet I was working with. Writing this was different from the usual approach to song writing. Rather than focus on developing a melodic idea over the span of an entire track, I built the song with the main motif as the main backbone of the song. I think it allowed me to do a lot of different stuff structurally, such as meter changes and solos, as motif tied the whole song together. I did sneak a cheeky call back to [[track:like-tears-in-rain|“Like Tears in Rain”]] given the context of the song. I feel like its inclusion highlights how much Cecily’s memory weighs on Hamifi during her confrontation with Edolon. I’m not sure if it’s too self-indulgent to use my own track as a leitmotif like this but I like how it gives the songs layers. +--- +Track: Club Can't Handle Me +Duration: 2:14 +Artists: +- Tycoon +Cover Artists: +- Y33H0Ws +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/club-cant-handle-me +--- +Track: Bloodletting +Suffix Directory: true +Duration: 2:37 +Artists: +- Witch's Cadence +Cover Artists: +- SilentNeptune +Art Tags: +- 'cw: blood' +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/bloodletting +--- +Track: Made With Love +Duration: 1:22 +Artists: +- Cerulean +Cover Artists: +- PrincePeachu +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/made-with-love +--- +Section: Bonus tracks +--- +Track: Like Tears In Rain +Additional Names: +- Name: >- + BONUS: Like Tears In Rain + Annotation: >- + [Bandcamp](https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-like-tears-in-rain) +- Name: >- + BONUS: Like Tears in Rain + Annotation: >- + [composer's YouTube title & description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzQuczkE2V4), + [composer's track references](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SuHe2Vblu0) +Duration: 3:08 +Artists: +- Rainy +Cover Artists: +- Neviathan +Art Tags: +- 'cw: blood' +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-like-tears-in-rain +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzQuczkE2V4 +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzQuczkE2V4), excerpt) + + Like Tears in Rain is probably one of the oldest songs for Vol.6 being written in like October of 2022. I wrote this song for Cecily because at the time, she had no official music outside of her themes in Snowbound Blood. It’s funny I wrote this song early into reading of SBB, so it was largely written based on her design, inference on plot details, and some of her music from the game. I knew pretty much immediately that I wanted this song to be evocative of media like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, so I leaned heavily into retro synth sounds. I vaguely recall that Grace Medley’s and SplitSuns’ more ambient cuts inspired the composition and production. While I don’t remember as much from the process, I do think having finished SBB recently that it works well as a song for Cecily. It feels evocative of her forlorn disposition and the begrudging role she plays as a corporate enforcer, which I think its pretty cool imo. +--- +Track: Rattling Rave +Additional Names: +- Name: >- + BONUS: Rattling Rave + Annotation: >- + [Bandcamp](https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-rattling-rave) +Duration: 3:24 +Artists: +- Tycoon +Cover Artists: +- Laurence-Does-Art +URLs: +- https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-rattling-rave |
