As I was putting the ingredients back, some chunks of Showtime and Aggrieve fell into the pot. I tried to tone down the flavor by adding a little more Doctor, but then a bit of Black and Beatdown got pulled in with it.

I decided to make adaptations of Homestuck tunes for classical guitar, and they both translated surprisingly well for the most part.

The inspiration from Professor Layton, drawing from video game themes, also affected my choice to make this loop(able). House of Lalonde was always intended from the start to be the theme for some sort of home. Orginally, it was going to be for Doc Scratch's study... but the only reason that never happened was because I couldn't find the right organ sound (the kind you hear in [[Scratch]]). So, scrapping that idea, I continued to set about sculpting a theme for a sophisticated abode, and eventually reached the conclusion that it would work rather well for Rose's.

I used the beginning to Lusus' Lament and then combined it with those beginning arpeggios and the first phrases of psych0ruins. Aradia's planet is the Land of Quartz and Melody, so I ran with the music box motif and added glockenspiel for a crystal-esque noise. The beginning section is kind of like what Sburban Jungle is to Rose. Music to add to her trying to enter the medium. There is a pause as she succeeds and enters and the mood of the music shifts completely. The second half builds more of the Quartz feel. The title is because Nick thought we should have a foreign name. <i>umibouzu:</i> @@ -891,7 +891,7 @@ Art Tags: - Dave - Dave's bro Referenced Tracks: -- track:beatdown-strider-style +- Beatdown (Strider Style) Commentary: |- <i>Ian White:</i> Growin' Up Strider fills a pretty obvious niche I guess, a cutesy song to montage Bro raising/training/abusing Dave, parallel to John and dad and [[Homestuck Anthem]]. The whole time I was making it I had DJ School from Rhythm Heaven stuck in my head, which is another cutesy song about another pair of cool dudes who are also learning to scratch records. So I guess I stole that. They probably weren't brothers though on account of how one was blue and the other was a robot I think. Lemmings had an influence too, which is to say that's where I stole those high-pitched bleeps from. I didn't even think to use Beatdown for the melody until I had prety much built the rest of the song around it. I had an old midi (by Tenebrais I think) and started goofing around trying to play it out in a major key and it fit pretty well sooooo that's that story. @@ -916,7 +916,7 @@ Art Tags: Referenced Tracks: - Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!【Momo Momone】 - Tribal Ebonpyre -- track:sburban-jungle +- Sburban Jungle Lyrics: |- Nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak Nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak nak @@ -1160,7 +1160,7 @@ Art Tags: - Consorts - LoWaS Referenced Tracks: -- track:doctor +- Doctor Commentary: |- <i>The Lovable Tramp:</i> This is what happens when someone is obsessed with Homestuck and afro-cuban grooves at the same time. @@ -1293,9 +1293,9 @@ Art Tags: - Jade - Earth Referenced Tracks: -- track:sburban-jungle +- Sburban Jungle - Squiddles! -- track:beatdown-strider-style +- Beatdown (Strider Style) Commentary: |- <i>Willow Ascenzo:</i> The title is, of course, a blatant reference to Steven King's Dark Towerseries. The song is a build-up to each of the four kids entering the Medium (they're being "drawn" into the game just as Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were drawn into Mid-World, but that's enough for now about something that isn't Homsetuck), so we start out with a slow rendition of "Sburban Jungle" played on the piano (John's instrument) with subsequent accompaniment by a violin (Rose's instrument). Then, here come the drums (Dave's instrument), and we kick the song into high gear when the flute and bass (both Jade's instruments) come in. There's a long period of pseudo-improv from the bass, flute, and violin before returning to the meat of the song - and a nod to the Squiddles theme (another reference to Rose) before the finale. Curiously, the order of the instruments exactly matches the order of the kids' introduction. @@ -1356,7 +1356,7 @@ Art Tags: - Karkat - Terezi Referenced Tracks: -- track:showtime-piano-refrain +- Showtime (Piano Refrain) Commentary: |- <i>Fuzz:</i> My approach to music is very dramatic. When I create music I tend to visualise very specific scenes which take place when it plays. Farewell was originally intended to accompany the scene where John discovered Mom and Dad were dead. At this point in the story it could have gone any way, so I started playing around and doing improvisations based around the Showtime theme, being a theme central to John. After messing around some more for a while I realised that a more bittersweet touch worked better though, and that instead of being used for lamenting, in my minds eye the piece seemed to fit something more akin to a goodbye, such as a scene displaying the kids and trolls parting ways. @@ -1378,9 +1378,9 @@ Art Tags: - Dave - Jade Referenced Tracks: -- track:doctor -- track:endless-climb -- track:atomyk-ebonpyre +- Doctor +- Endless Climb +- Atomyk Ebonpyre - track:frost-vol6 - Squiddles!
