The better part of a year, in fact. It went through a LOT of different iterations and versions (at one point even being part of an Undertale fan game that was unfortunately canceled) before landing where it is now. I finally decided to finish it and let the little bird fly for this album. Fun fact: It was originally titled "Penumbra Phantasm (Frosty Edition)," but then, thanks to a typo from [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]], the "Edition" changed to "Style," and, honestly, I prefer it this way. Go figure, there would be one last change to the song before it was finally finished. +--- +Track: Solicide +Artists: +- Caelan Kier +Cover Artists: +- doctorcorby +Art Tags: +- Rose +- Green Sun +Duration: '2:59' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUUpyZPWbew +Referenced Tracks: +- Flare +- track:beatdown-strider-style +- Time on My Side +- Aggrieve +- track:upward-movement-dave-owns +Sampled Tracks: +- Derse Dreamers +Commentary: |- + <i>Caelan Kier:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + Y'know that feeling you get when you've been told by gods to blow up a sun twice the size of a universe? well if you have, i think it'd feel something like Solicide. So I was just spittin' some phat-tunes-y'all, y'know, some chill Dave song, when I was like... "Nah, this is just too spooky for Dave, but maybe spooky enough for Rose?" so I changed the idea from a song about Dave & Time to a song about Rose's (and Dave's kinda) mission to heck up the green sun. (P.S. you can't go wrong with hella' samples + at least 73 different phasers.) (P.P.S if y'all wanna see what this lit jam was like when it was just a simple "chill dave song" then too bad because the Instaudio link is dead R.I.P) (P.P.P.S lol nice name that wasn't used nerd) (P.P.P.P.S oh wait that was me...) +--- +Track: 8r8k the 8ottle +Additional Names: +- Break the Bottle (quirk-free) +Artists: +- apatheticPianist (composition) +- Pascal van den Bos (arrangement) +Cover Artists: +- Camelote +Art Tags: +- John +- Rose +- Dave +- Jade +- Lil Cal +- Gate +Duration: '4:13' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VhMGErwclI +Cover Art File Extension: jpg +Referenced Tracks: +- track:sburban-jungle +- track:showtime-original-mix +- track:endless-climb +- track:aggrieve +- Sunsetter +- track:beatdown-strider-style +- track:mutiny +- track:lotus +- track:liquid-negrocity +- Courser +- track:cascade-beta +- track:spiders-claw +- track:doctor +- track:penumbra-phantasm +- Crystalanthemums +- track:upward-movement-dave-owns +- Another Jungle +Commentary: |- + <i>apatheticPianist:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + As you've probably gathered from listening to it, this song is themed around the first five acts of Homestuck! It has a similar structure to [[track:cue-the-curtains|Cue the Curtains]], but with five parts instead of four (which is oddly appropriate, in retrospect - five parts, five acts): John, Rose, Dave and Jade, Bec Noir and Vriska's machinations that led to him, and finally the kids' ascensions and the Scratch. The title uses Vriska's quirk for two reasons: because she had a pretty big hand in the creation of Bec Noir... and also becasue she's "stealing the spotlight" from the Beta Kids. Anyways, a huge thanks to [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]] for mastering this song, and I hope y'all enjoy it! +--- +Track: Me/Ga/Lo/Vania +Directory: me-ga-lo-vania +Artists: +- Frost Carter +Cover Artists: +- Méline Hamard +Art Tags: +- Vriska +Duration: '2:40' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs79Uru26xc +Referenced Tracks: +- track:megalovania-halloween +Commentary: |- + <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + It's funny, you can't seem to go two steps on the internet without stumbling across a remix of [[track:megalovania-undertale|one certain song]] that shall not be named. Y'know, that [[track:megalovania-ssbu|one song]] that's associated with that [[track:sans|one character]] from that [[album:undertale-soundtrack|one game]]? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Well, I decided to add to the pile with this remix of [[track:megalovania-halloween|the OG version of that song]], complete with a sound effect from that other game that probably helped inspire that first game that I mentioned.

I wrote the first bass parts with some squares (the square in the middle even sounds like [[track:walk-stab-walk-r-and-e|Walk Stab Walk]] even though i didn't intend it to) to give it some variation. Then some phat beats for dave coolness and [[track:time-on-my-side|Time on My Side]] combined with [[track:cascade-beta|Cascade]] to give it max awesomeness, i guess you could see it as a strife theme for alpha Dave fighting those clowns on top of the "purple house". +--- +Section: Disc 2 +--- +Track: ~~Disc 2~~ +Directory: disc-2-stlap +Artists: +- Frost Carter +Cover Artists: +- Hilaletto +Art Tags: +- Rose +- Horrorterrors +Duration: '0:07' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKLSeqvv2NY +Referenced Tracks: +- track:aggrieve +Commentary: |- + <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + This is, as I'm sure you noticed, a quick one.

The bass in the beginning is building the tension of Rose trying to sneak out of the house, and when [[track:aggrieve|Aggrieve]] starts playing you know she got busted. I also added parts of [[track:sburban-jungle|Sburban Jungle]] to foreshadow her entering the medium soon, and the guitar just makes everything 10x cooler. +--- +Track: More Real than Kraft Mayo +Artists: +- Frost Carter +Cover Artists: +- Paula Zotter +Art Tags: +- Dave +Duration: '2:21' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_-P6O_n1co +Cover Art File Extension: jpg +Commentary: |- + <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + This song just kinda exists. I don't really remember initially making it. Maybe it magically appeared one day, ascended from Heaven to change the world and herald the 2nd coming of Christ himself.

I had an idea where I could make a song on FamiTracker and then master it on FL Studio, so I did! This idea turned out well, I just had to export each track on FamiTracker separately and then import them all to FL Studio and so I could just mix it as much as i wanted like some kind of evil scientist, but way less exciting... +--- +Track: Daydreamer +Directory: daydreamer-stlap +Always Reference By Directory: true +Artists: +- Pascal van den Bos +Cover Artists: +- OrangeKrro +Art Tags: +- Jade +- Prospit +Duration: '2:14' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuRLjkv6zUU +Cover Art File Extension: jpg +MIDI Project Files: +- Title: MIDI by Pascal van den Bos (original composer) + Files: + - Daydreamer - Pascal van den Bos.mid +Commentary: |- + <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + This is what happens when you're scrolling through your Touhou soundfont trying to come up with ideas for an original track and you find a funny thing, i also used a fretless bass to have some of Jade's wackiness. Since she's a Prospit dreamer, i based this track on Prospit and it's dreamers. That's why this track sounds so dreamy and dissonant. I was also heavily influenced by Final Fantasy themes while making this.

So when i added [[track:doctor|"Doctor"]] into it, it got even better. The sweet drums and the high square from [[track:windswept-shale|"Windswept Shale"]] by Baleish finished it up and made the song sound as good as it does. Also the title is kind of a nudge at "Rain" if you haven't noticed yet (ahahah I'm so clever HEEHEEHOOHOO). +--- +Section: Disc 3 +--- +Track: ~~Disc 3~~ +Directory: disc-3-stlap +Artists: +- Caelan Kier +Cover Artists: +- Sunbent +Art Tags: +- Dave +- LoHaC +Duration: '0:31' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ZlBHrYie8 +Commentary: |- + <i>Caelan Kier:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + Chill beats + weird pads with spooky progressions = something that sounds like LoHAC or Dave or something else I don't know don't judge me!

Back around the time I joined the music team, I was listening to Explore and thought the orchestration of the synths would translate well to strings. I'd also probably been listening to old Apocalyptica at the time, resulting in a cello ensemble with plodding gritty drum loops. While Explore soars above the remains of the world, Wander is grounded and more subdued. The interlude of ambient jungle noises was partially to reflect the world reverting back to nature, and the distant atmosphere and distorted portions are sort of the echoes and ruins left behind. +--- +Track: Take a Stand! +Artists: +- Sunbent +Contributors: +- CALIKID (some help) +Cover Artists: +- SoulofWoods +Art Tags: +- Vriska +- John +- Rose +- Dave +- Jade +- Lord English +- Victory Platform +Duration: '6:58' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM-xp_8g62M +Cover Art File Extension: jpg +Referenced Tracks: +- track:killed-by-br8k-spider +Commentary: |- + <i>Sunbent:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + A pretty long one, and i guess it's kind of a non cannon afterwards to [[flash:8087|collide]] in my mind. I refrained from using leomotifs because I honestly don't think this song needs it. Now if you watched collide, it never actually showed them killing lord English right? Well this is in my mind the battle theme to what happened there. If you want you can watch the YouTube theories but simply put, after collide vriska summons more powerful beta (and possibly alpha) kids out of her sburb house thingy. So basically it beta kids, vriska and the ghost army vs lord English. And thats the song. I considered calling it "collide v3" but i felt it was too obvious. +--- +Track: LOWAS M.D. +Artists: +- Frost Carter +Cover Artists: +- Culdhira +Art Tags: +- John +- Consorts +- LoWaS +Duration: '1:41' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hxsk1UZdV8 +Referenced Tracks: +- track:doctor +- track:megalovania-halloween +Commentary: |- + <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + This song has a truly awful name, I know.

I also used alot of spacey synths to signify Bec traveling to space and teleporting all over the place and shit. And then [[track:MeGaLoVania|MeGaLoVania]] and [[track:beatdown-strider-style|Beatdown]] are in there for some reason.

With ambience and a sick beat, this song fills every need fitted to *survive* on a barren planet that you made with your chums in a video game that may or may not destroy the world. +--- +Track: Endless Dreamers +Artists: +- CALIKID +Cover Artists: +- CALIKID +Art Tags: +- Rose +- Rose's mom +- John's dad +Duration: '3:50' +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceu24tuArCY +Referenced Tracks: +- Derse Dreamers +- track:endless-climb +Commentary: |- + <i>CALIKID:</i> (composer, booklet commentary) + + I was originally planning on doing [[track:endless-climb|Endless Climb]] but somehow in the middle it changed to [[track:derse-dreamers|Derse Dreamers]] too so I decided to go with it. It's full of action and heavy saws. I thought it would be cool to add a bit of a mellow sound to the beginning though so I went with that.

As you've probably noticed, it's separated pretty evenly into four parts: first Vriska vs. Lord English, then Terezi and the Striders vs. Lord Jack and Spades Slick, then the HIC fight, and finally an ending meant to call back (forward?) to Act 7. Also, giant thanks to [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]] for mastering it and 8r8k the 8ottle - they definitely wouldn't have had that extra Homestuck kick without his help, hehe. Aside from that, nothing much else to say about it - it's a giant pile of motifs that I really enjoyed composing! |
