The melody is halfway between "[[track:sburban-jungle]]" and "[[track:another-jungle]]" and was probably the least involved element. Everything else was an attempt to find a heavier sound than I had attempted with either of my tracks from the Homestuck soundtrack, and I guess this time around I made it happen. While the other two score a lot more merits for memorability, composition, and length, this one was definitely the most fun to produce - unlike its two predecessors it's more of an ass-shaker than a head-banger, so I like that. + So this being arguably the third time I've written the same song from a functional perspective, "Waiting for Adventure" is definitely a hell of an exercise for me.

Then I tried to remember the first song I properly heard and enjoyed which was '[[Explore]]'. I tried to give it a highly arpeggiated sound and a low classical feel while still using synths. Once I fell into the flow of things, it was easy enough to get some basic melodies down. I split it up into two sections to explore the themes of both Prospit and Derse. In the end, I am happy with it due to this being my first attempt at composing, and I have definitely learnt from the experience. @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ Cover Artists: - Dawn Davis Commentary: |- <i>Veritas Unae:</i> - Metamorphic Choices was lovingly glitched by [[artist:marcy-nabors|Shadolith]].

We used it as an excuse sort of to really get into a lot of the specific world and sprite stuff! In the end Marcy made a Squiddle Speaker Sprite which I LOVE because of how fucking terrifying it looks with that cyclops speaker eye. Veri has his self-writing story sprite, which is much more classy. And then we got Marcy and Veri's worlds in there, too. Up top you see the Land of Beats and Stirring Sonar, and below you have the Land of Music and Technology. It seems that I forgot how much fun I have with scenery and land designs until I joined the Sburb group. @@ -209,7 +209,7 @@ Cover Artists: Art Tags: - Earth Referenced Tracks: -- track:sburban-jungle +- Sburban Jungle - track:umbral-ultimatum Commentary: |- <i>Max Wright:</i> @@ -525,7 +525,7 @@ Commentary: |- U MAD? - Seriously, though.

Don't get me wrong - it's perfectly justified within the context of Homestuck because Jack goes batshit insane after getting the bunny. But if you look at him within the context of a regular session, he's, well - a washed-up Archagent stuck in a dead-end job who hates his superior. And that's not very exciting.

Kon made the sprite that made Jack hate him at least 10 times more. A Party Cat sprite. Sadly for Jack, these are not corpse parties, these are the good old fashioned cake, confetti, and music parties. So imagine you are Jack. You went to bed feeling disgruntled as always but that's nothing new. You are then suddenly wakened by DD, HB, and CD playing a rousing and lively song outside your door.

I decided to remake it in non-chiptune form. It's supposed to sound menacing while at the same time spurring you into action. A real fight-or-die situation would have music like this. Overall, I just tried to have fun with this piece, drawing inspiration from songs like [[Chaotic Strength]] and [[Tomahawk Head]].
