This piece is actually pretty old, going back to before Volume 5, where it was much simpler (playing out more like a round) and with poorer sound quality in general. Like most of my music it was inspired by a similar piece from somewhere else - in this case, the original Bionicle flash adventure game that used to be on the Lego website way back. If you’ve played it, you might notice the similarity, at least as far as instrumentation goes. It had been many years since I’d last even seen the game, long after it fell off the site, so I couldn’t recognise what I liked about the piece and so the imitation I’d made was pretty poor! Fast forward a year or two. Some discussion with internet friends had led me to find that old flash game again, and I heard my old favourite tune in all its glory (significantly less glorious than I remembered; nostalgia does that to you). Still, it showed me the main place I was going wrong, which was that I’d neglected harmony. All of the three or four lines of music that piece had were monophonic, making a really drab sound, while what I needed where chords. A stupid mistake? Sure, it was, but then, I wasn’t that good a musician when I first wrote the piece. I started over, applying all the experience I’d got both from writing music and simply listening to it with a critical ear to get my main contribution to the Wanderers album, and something I could be proud of. +Cover Artists: +- Emi --- Track: Requiem for an Exile Artist: Solatrus -Track Art: Zilleniose Duration: '2:01' -References: track:requiem +References: +- track:requiem Art Tags: - WV - PM - AR - WQ -URLs: https://youtu.be/aAphwUVKFm4 +URLs: +- https://youtu.be/aAphwUVKFm4 Commentary: |- <i>Solatrus:</i> I made James’s great composition sound, well, better.

And yes, yes they are. There is a subtle difference but the majority of the phrase matches. Depending on who you ask this ranges from either an atrocity or an inevitability given the limited nature of conventions and structure of music. Personally, the reference was unintentional. Let's get this straight also, I'm a ludicrously huge Yasunori Mitsuda fanboy. I'm not fully ruling out that at some level I was remembering ST when making LR, but I honestly could not recall the song until someone linked a video, and even afterwards I don't recall the song from the game. There are tonnes of tracks from CT that I recall fondly but ST just isn't one of them. This all said, there was no malevolence nor deceit intended when writing LR and I apologise to anyone offended by it. That's really all I have to say on the matter. +Cover Artists: +- Hanni Brosh --- Track: Ruins Rising Artist: Michael Guy Bowman -Track Art: Raizor Duration: '5:00' References: - track:ruins Art Tags: - WV - Jack Noir -URLs: https://youtu.be/pDYCL68d3wI +URLs: +- https://youtu.be/pDYCL68d3wI +Cover Artists: +- Raizor --- Track: What a Daring Dream Artist: Alex Rosetti -Track Art: Noot Duration: '2:46' Art Tags: - WV - Serenity - 'cw: blood (abstract)' -URLs: https://youtu.be/qtt0o-v2yco +URLs: +- https://youtu.be/qtt0o-v2yco Commentary: |- <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> The Wanderers is my favorite Homestuck album.

How you wish you could know their world. To hear one night those muted pawpads traipse up your stairs. A low but friendly growl unsettles your slumber, and as the sopor seeps from your eyes they detect a sharp pair of ears cutting moonlight. A mysterious wolven tongue invites.

In that sense, I might as well claim that Rose has to be Italian, because hey, that’s where violins originally came from! At the end of the movie Kill Bill, there’s a final showdown between The Bride and O-ren Ishii. They’re both wielding katanas and the setting is a very stereotypical, snow-covered japanese garden. You would THINK that you’d at least get some taiko drums as a backing, but nope. The song that plays is “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Santa Esmeralda, which can best be described as a flamenco/disco hybrid. And it fits PERFECTLY. In that sense, I think that this song too fits AR very well, even though his character has fuck-all to do with Native American culture. +Cover Artists: +- Lexxy |
