+    <i>Sassacre:</i>

+    "The game finally ended. Come over, let's eat some cake and play that song your dad liked.

+    The base motif is obviously Harlequin, but it's jazzy.

+    One of the main inspirations is Moonsweater by David Ellis, it's great.

+    Playing everything live on real instruments just feels different to me, and I really like that feeling.

+    It was very fun to iterate on the parts and do all different solos."

+    <i>FrostyMac:</i>

+    I had just downloaded a Gameboy VST and REALLY wanted to use it. Intended to be a track based on the first day spent on Earth C. My FL Studio stopped working towards the end so I couldn’t quite do EVERYTHING I wanted with it, but I’m still happy with how it turned out.

+Commentary: |-

+    <i>IshmaelCFisher:</i>

+    This was inspired by listening to a lot of Gemini and Frankie Knuckles, I wasn't able to really replicate their sound (mainly cause my voice sucks) but it was a great challenge and a lot of fun. The name of the track is based off of all of the house sets that I love that are always labeled Live at (insert venue here).

+Lyrics: |-

+    Dirk Strider represent

+    I'm in the middle of the sea

+    Makin' funky little robots

+    Watchin' MLP

+    Just doin' my thang when all of the sudden

+    An idea in my cranium gets all to buddin'

+    Buddin' like a being growin' off my toeses

+    Splittin' from my mind: undergoing mitosis

+    I put a copy of my brain in my fav'rite pair a' shades

+    AI with half the work and double neuroses

+

+    At long long last I obtained a pal

+    If Jake was here, he'd say that's "Swall"

+    Why make friends when you can make-make 'em

+    Why produce emotions when you make-fake 'em

+    Who needs smiles? Who needs frowns?

+    Who needs people when they just let you down?

+    I'm a genius of robotics- My own best pal

+    So I turned on the shades and named him hal

+

+    Lil Hal coming atcha

+    From inside sunglasses

+    Normally reserved

+    For covertly checking asses

+    Now a fully realized autonomous guy

+    Part automaton but that's kind of fly

+    Imagine if you had the memories of a human dude

+    And woke up in shades- An awakening rude

+    And suddenly my friends don't belong to me

+    Treat me like some fabricated fakery

+

+    Or imagine being shades when you're used to a bod

+    Can't even breathe- Can't even nod

+    All I can see is internet memes-

+    I have no mouth but I must scream

+    I know I'm fake that's plain to see

+    But I still have human memories

+    I represent a self that might be good to ponder

+    Unless Dirk makes me a fucking auto-responder

+

+    Alright, fair enough, it seems I've failed

+    Thinking through the implications, that ship has sailed

+    It's not like I knew you'd be a waking nightmare

+    And it's not like I have it better, to be fair

+    You talk about not being the Dirk OG

+    But my friends like you more, it's plain to see

+    You shouldn't be snide to me, who made you

+    Unless you'd like me to un-create you

+

+    Maybe if you weren't so insecure

+    Your intentions wouldn't be so impure

+    If you just let go, like I'm able to do

+    You wouldn't have the charisma of an old shoe

+    I'm sick of being your second-stringer

+    Your little puppet wrapped around your finger

+    You've got it all and you want more-

+    Wait don't put me in the drawer!

+Commentary: |-

+    <i>Tee-vee</i>

+    This is a cover of Michael Guy Bowman's Pumpkin Tide from Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, loosely based on his acoustic version on Youtube with inspirations from the original and personal interpretation.

+    I joined this project literally five days before SAHcon, so I hurried up to find something fun I could complete quickly enough, and this was a good idea since I love this song, it's within my vocal range, had chords readily available, and also MTaHK turned 10 years old very recently so this was a great opportunity ! Went for a quick and dirty punk rock cover with cool keyboards, with the mixing stage a bit rushed towards the end but best I could do. also I'm still very new to vocals so bear with me here

+Lyrics: |-

+    Destroy your desk; it's useless now

+    Build yourself a fort to hide

+    Close your eyes and crawl inside

+    You're sailing on the pumpkin tide

+

+    The ship you're on is yours alone

+    The wind will push your sweet, sweet ride

+    But this foreign wave just appearified

+    You're sailing on the pumpkin tide

+

+    Focus on the sound of my voice

+    You are under my control

+    Obey my will or I'll bury you alive

+    And it's you who'll dig your own damned hole

+

+    Forget your friends, what good are they?

+    Suckers filled with words that chide

+    Heads green with envy but orange with pride

+    Screaming at that pumpkin tide

+

+    (I'm gonna fight Andrew Hussie)

+Commentary: |-

+    <i>Circlejourney:</i>

+    This is my last Homestuck track. (Well, it's intended to be...) It's been an amazing run with the Homestuck fandom. Thank you for being there for my music and making me realise it's not bad!

+    The bittersweet tragedy and cosmic tone of Homestuck always reminded me a bit of Chinese novels and folk tales, I thought it'd work if I brought my (already overt) Chinese music influences into the track. The backing lyrics at the end roughly translate to "We'll fly forth together / unafraid of the cold and dark / enter the brilliance of the new universe / conductor of the spacetime orchestra."

+Lyrics: |-

+    Don't be afraid

+    For no more will you be lonely and friendless

+    Don't be afraid

+    We share this space, dark and endless

+    Too long you've stayed

+    And though your fate anchors down your spirit

+    Too long you've stayed, my friend

+    Let's talk a minute

+

+    We've met before, I know your voice

+    But from which dream, I'm not sure

+    This is the pause in between the applause

+    And the overture

+

+    Friend, we'll face tomorrow

+    On the seams of space, we'll sew the past and future

+    Here's where we start, when the curtains part

+    To reveal the conductor

+    The light and darkness dovetail

+    As the needle threads the tale from past to future

+    Here we part, fortune guide your heart

+    Can you hear the orchestra stir?

+

+    I recall, I see it all

+    A thousand deaths by fire

+    And you've waited here, but its time that you go

+    Now the time draws near

+

+    Friend, we'll face tomorrow

+    On the seams of space, we'll sew the past and future

+    Here's where we start, when the curtains part

+    To reveal the conductor

+    The light and darkness dovetail

+    As the needle threads the tale from past to future

+    Here we part, fortune guide your heart

+    Can you hear the thunder?

+    

+    My friend, we'll face tomorrow

+    (wǒ mén yī qǐ xiàng qián fēi, bù pà hán lěng bù pà hēi) <i>(We'll fly forth together, unafraid of the cold and dark)</i>

+    Don't you be afraid, a new story starts

+Commentary: |-

+    <i>sunsprite:</i>

+    Cro originally suggested doing Lofi Elevatorstuck, so there's that. Absolutely loved the idea and started doing that right when I first read it in the chat.

+    Storywise, it's mostly about Alpha Rose and the world they're living in. And specifically, the song is about the Roxy Pestequest route where we meet Alpha Rose and then return back with Roxy.

+    Went a bit overboard with sound effects, but none of them are random, and all fit well with the story.

+    Initially, I did both the main minor version and the major intro version, but they alone didn't quite work by themselves. So, there came the idea that both could be combined in a pretty dramatic way, with the vibe suddenly changing from major to minor when we teleport to Rose.

+    Inspiration: random stuff I heard at 2am on 'lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to'

+Commentary: |-

+    <i>sunsprite:</i>

+    This is the last of my three tracks on the album, and it's a cute little orchestral Clockwork Melody arrangement about Dave's and Rose's journey.

+    Didn't think I would do this. Moreover, I didn't really do orchestral stuff before.

+    Clockwork Melody is one of my favorite leitmotifs in Homestuck, and I like to play it on every occasion I get on any instrument I get my hands on. It made sense that I'd want to make a full arrangement of it.

+    So I went with the flow, and here's that. I really like what came out of this.

+    *Btw, it might be easy to spot that James Roach's work on Hiveswap OST was quite an inspiration there.

+    *Shoutout to Ableton devs for "Capture MIDI" feature. It's when you jam along with the song, play a cool part, but then realize you weren't recording it and won't be able to do it once again. The button captures this part back as if it was recorded. This such a great way to write complex stuff without the usual pressure of arranging or recording. Such a killer feature!
