The idea I proposed earlier in the year was an orchestral sound with "temporal effects." Notes, melodies, rhythms played backwards, forwards, rewinding and such, as if the music itself was subject to their powers of time distortion. The sound also took on some electronic, sort of ambient qualities as it developed. You could refer to the genre as "temporelechestral." If you wanted to say a mouthful. @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ Commentary: |- Also a lesser known fact: It was actually considered for a flash animation, in a similar vein to Alex Rosetti's Squiddles song.

I love the melody of [[Endless Climb]]. I loved the [[track:clockwork-melody|music box]]-[[track:clockwork-contrivance|esque]] [[track:clockwork-sorrow|remixes]] on [[album:homestuck-vol-5|Volume 5]] even more. Before I got on the team, I had written [[Clockwork Apocalypse]], an orchestrated version of [[Clockwork Melody]]. After realizing Audacity could reverse music, I started experimenting. Since the Endless Climb melody was so memorable and it had served as good sort of interlude tracks on Volume 5, I decided to try to make something in a similar vein. Oddly enough, I think the reversed version of the Clockwork Reversal sounds even better than both Clockwork Reversal and Clockwork Apocalypse. --- @@ -447,7 +447,7 @@ Sheet Music Files: Files: - 'Time Paradox - Thomas Ferkol (piano score).pdf' Commentary: |- - <i>Thomas Ferkol:</i> ([Tumblr](https://eidolonorpheus.tumblr.com/post/15715289410/eidolons-other-commentary-whatsits), excerpt, 1/12/2012) + <i>Thomas Ferkol:</i> ([Tumblr](https://eidolonorpheus.tumblr.com/post/15715289410/eidolons-other-commentary-whatsits), 1/12/2012) Alrighty, first off is Time Paradox. This was the first piece I submitted for an album once I got on the team. Basically what happened was: I am visiting somewhere in Chicago with only my phone’s connection to the internet, check the MSPA forums and find a message notification waiting for me. [[artist:toby-fox|Radiation]] congratulates me on getting on the team. After some moments of sputtering disbelief, I read on. He says if I want to get started on something, the Squiddles was being [[album:squiddles|finished up]] and the Felt was on the table. So, for the next couple hours I was invigorated, consumed wholly during the car ride and time in the hotel before I finally fell asleep with working on a track for the Felt. Time Paradox was made. Originally, I made it imagining the recruitment of the Felt, picturing Doc Scratch warping across time and space, assembling the green goons from who knows where, and then witnessing the construction of the Felt manor. It’s a fun track, more energetic than a lot of things I had worked on and definitely influenced by Radiation’s style. The last two sections are still some of my favorite phrases that I’ve written. --- |
