So I did my best to convey all of that. The track uses many synth sounds, or at least *some* synth sounds, and to me that was enough to justify going for the 80's neon aesthetic. I used mainly triadic palette where each colour corresponded to one of the characters: orange for Dirk, violet for Rose, teal/turquoise for Terezi. The theme of "three" is also reinforced by the triangle shape, which I referenced in composition as well as by slapping a big fat triangle in the middle of the picture. It works as a visual portal and also represents the letter Delta (as in Deltritus, the name of the new planet). The idea of actual assembling of the game is referenced through the Venn diagram glyph inside the portal and by those sick grid mountains in the background that I totally didn't trace from some random stock image.

My skill to render the memories failed me: WIPs show the corpse of John, the beheading of Dirk, other fragments of the Epilogues. The main decisions of the piece happened spontaneously: fragments of a clock reforming to Dirk's silhouette, Theseus moving from the corner and taking its place as Dirk's glasses. The colors went through many iterations, a volatile photoshop file of hue shifts and stacked filters. The final nail in the coffin for any hope of a semblance of normalcy in this came with my most baffling decision of all: splashing my previous two track arts for UMSPAF over this one. My original monochrome draft for Diverging Delicacies' "Dirk's Dreamers" became the only shattered memory, a destruction of art I birthed but am not fond of. Moons of Theseus' "Unchained" merged with the fibers of space, a celebrated giant looming over all my other pieces.

Since this was a chiptune track, doing pixel art made the most sense (nevermind that I planned on doing pixel art anyway). Most everything in the picture came out naturally, with a few tweaks here and there. I had John looking looking sad in one iteration, but I felt it didn't match up with the more upbeat nature of the song, so I changed it. I did sort of trip at the finish line when adding details to the buildings in the background.

A comprehensive Guardian album was an idea straight out of my original list of fan-album concepts circa 2015 that spawned Beforus, and now finally the dream of having themes for all of them is realized.

The basic seeds of this track belong to PoisonedElite, who left behind a minute-long demo of harpsichord and strings. Imagine my surprise when her MIDI was handed down to me and there were the beginnings of an electronic drum track I didn't get to hear in her exports! So the concept was set, orchestra with electronic rhythmic backing. + Mom always seemed like quite the intimidating figure to those who met her. Perpetually drunk, with an endless, seemingly vindictive collection of wizard paraphrenalia, Mom was more living myth than parental figure. While most might soften those figures over time to be more relatable, not Hussie, and not Mom! She handles a massive Sburban monster with ease, demonstrates martial arts and weapons expertise, and catches the romantic attention of Dad without so much as breaking a sweat.

In addition to writing my own song for this project, which you'll find 24 tracks from now, I mastered the album in general. In theory, this means making sure each song is around the same volume so you don't have to keep adjusting your headphones. However, sometimes I did some extra work just to polish things up.

Let's put aside his featureless visage, god-like powers and key role in creating a Soverign Slayer capable of destroying entire universes. He is a dog that likes to run around, play fetch, and eat treats like any other! This song shows that under-appreciated side of Jade's best friend. How can you say no to those Mario Paint dog barks? (If you think those are great, wait until you listen to the song for Bec's post-Scratch counterpart. Cinematic parallels, I'm telling you.) + <b><i>Ephemerald:</i></b> + Bec quite clearly doesn't have a care in the world here. You know, it's funny how omnipotent dog brains work.

I finally was able to find the time to do exactly that on... A very long and boring plane trip, hahah. While drawing it, I thought about hwo Jane never really knew her poppop, nor did she know she was the cause of his death in the first place (classic Homestuck), so I wanted to convey that bittersweet feeling through the piece. I experimented on the colors with using a couple paper-constructioney textures on it and on the backdrop. Also, the stewardess on my plane trip caught a glance of the drawing and gave me a compliment in broken English, so you know this is some certified REAL good art. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: The Light's Rebellion +Artist: Circlejourney +Track Art: gelasticat +Duration: 3:48 +References: The Thirteenth Hour, Endless Climb, Aggrieve, DAVE STRIDER'S COOL MIXTAPE +Art Tags: Roxy's mom +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-lights-rebellion +- https://youtu.be/nhtb6U-fYzM +Commentary: + <i>Circlejourney:</i> + Greatly inspired by the soundtracks of Touhou, PMMM, and various Japanese media, The Light's Rebellion is meant to sound like the overture of an epic and tumultous tale. To me, the life of Roxy's illustrious and erudite Mom - encompassing the publication of doorstepper novels, a Guy Fieri rodeo down a waterfall of blood, and death as a revolutionary at the hands of an alien empress - is the sort of capricious novel-worthy story that can only be told through battling melodies in the major pentatonic scale, 3/4 + 6/8 cross-rhythms, and soaring trumpets. + The primary melodic motif opens the piece on the solo violin - a rousing tune representing the character of Alpha Rose and her rebellious aspirations. The trumpet then introduces the secondary motif - that of The Thirteenth Hour, a melodic backbone representing (erroneously?*) the novels to which she devoted the greater part of her life. It rises and dips, shifting between lyrical solos, brassy full-orchestra segments, and percussive interludes. Two of Rose's motifs, Aggrieve and Endless Climb, are also briefly quoted. + In all, creating The Light's Rebellion was a joy and a challenge, and possibly the first and last track of its style that I'll ever do. + *The video from which I'd heard The Thirteenth Hour featured the cover of Compacency of the Learned, leading me to associate the track with Calmasis and CotL. In retrospect it was probably more about Calliope's Calmasis-like trollsona (i.e. the thirteenth "troll") than Calmasis, but here we are.

I started it in March of 2017 and though most of the compositional work was completed by July of that year, I didn't finish polishing everything up until late April 2018, after many months of procrastination and tweaking. The idea of the track is simple, it's Jake's Grandmother, Jade English, writing a song for her signature eclectic bass sometime in the 80's, which you probably already knew from the title. Anyway, I wanted to make a song that you could supposedly 'play' on the eclectic bass, which meant I had to figure out what exactly the components of such an instrument were (see <a href="media/misc/eclectic-bass-diagram.png">the accompanying diagram</a>). I chose the iconic Yamaha DX7 (used in tons of 80's pop) to be the keyboards of the instrument as it could make the sounds I wanted, and I had an emulation (Digital Suburban's "Dexed") on hand. Other instruments used in the song were Karfoyer Audio's "Pastabass" and "Swagbass" for the bass guitars themselves, as well as Full Bucket Music's "Ragnarók" (used to flesh out some bass frequencies at the song's peak), and some built-in GarageBand instruments (drums) and effects. + Compositionally, I started out with the ostinato that closes [[track:rhapsody-in-green]] (Clark Powell) from the Felt album, but played in reverse, adding in an FM pad (the aforementioned DX7) and [[track:skaianet]] by Mark Hadley on the other bass guitar. The introduction section transitions into variations on [[track:verdancy-bassline]] by Kalibration, and closes the track's first half with a medley of various Jade-related songs. The second half is an original thing (though the beginning is a variation on [[track:afraid-of-the-darko]] by RJ! Lake) that I had build in complexity and intensity before dropping off to end the piece. Reference-wise, I tried to keep things centered roughly on Jade, as well as some other skaianet/felt sort of stuff that I thought fit the Alpha world and Jae's place in it, but I did end up throwing in a couple memetic references, see if you can find them both! + <i>Jas:</i> + Grandma Harley often wrote her grandson about the tyranny of Lord English, obviously not able to hide everything from the enemy. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Felidae Superior +Artist: WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES +Track Art: shu +Duration: 3:44 +Art Tags: God Cat +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/felidae-superior +- https://youtu.be/l0Izf8Sl7LI +Commentary: + <i>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</i> + This song took remarkably long to put together.

Anyway, meow. + <b><i>SplitSuns:</i></b> + shu delivers some impressively smooth and refined art for everyone's second-favorite cat whose name begins with a G, GCAT. They say you can tell a lot about someone from their eyes, which makes it more impressive that you can glean this cat's mischievous expression without any eyes at all. GCAT is prepared for action from its carefully positioned placement on a tree branch, ready to pounce at a ball of yarn or teleport to the spot best suited for making your life hell. Some rough glitchy effects in the background add an interesting dimension to the piece, nicely contrasting against its smooth linework. This is one art you won't want to miss, and knowing GCAT's temper, you might miss it if you blink. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Sweet Talker +Artist: Ucklin +Track Art: nights +Duration: 3:24 +Art Tags: The Condesce +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/sweet-talker +- https://youtu.be/TkDZC-vTXHE +Commentary: + <i>Ucklin:</i> + The idea for this song started with the transition around 2:35 to the section with [[track:hate-you]] played in a straight rhythm. I wanted to capture a feeling of dread by making that part of the song methodical and delaying the payoff of some of the notes by a beat. It would also be a stark contrast to have this straight section in solo piano right after a climactic section with plenty of instruments in a swing beat! I was inspired to incorporate a musical palette from the 30s-40s because that's when I estimate Condy took over as Betty Crocker and started doing her guardian things. In the original song, I planned for the bass to carry most of the weight with regards to rhythm, but eventually, I was persuaded to add percussion to the track after helpful feedback from a few of the organizers, and I think it helped a lot! Hate You is quoted 3 times, although the first two ended up a bit disguised by subsequent layers of instrumentation. + With regards to the rest of the composition, I tried to have fun! In a way this song is supposed to tell the story of The Baroness. The beginning hook and the next section portray the mask she wears as Betty Crocker upon arriving to earth, and the persona that caused her husband Colonel Sassacre to fall in love with her. That part of the story is pretty funny to me. The following section introduces the mystery of her real identity with a jazzy Hate You quote before returning to the first section, and finally the climactic transition of the song represents the death of Colonel Sassacre and the beginning of Crocker's reign of terror proper. Finally, at the very end of the song, there is a piccolo harmony which just sounds like aliens to me, possibly because it sounds a little like a theremin. I learned a lot composing this song! Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed! (And thanks to nights for art more polished and gorgeous than I could hope to deserve!) + <i>nights:</i> + This very nice track gave me vibes of a casual setting with the condesce, so I thought to draw her doing a mundane but fun task - baking!

Sollux's Biclops is captured right before its imminent demise as the troll's Mind Honey-induced flip out rips through the ceiling of his hive and surrounds the lusus in a multi-colored beam of energy. The meteors illuminating the night sky further illustrate the carnage present in the scene in a fashion that pops up time and time again in Homestuck proper. If only one of those meteors could break the chain around the Biclops' leg and set it free! Wait, the resulting impact would probably just kill the Biclops anyway.

Coming from a musical background that mostly consisted of writing punk songs and making bad beats, when I started on this I sort of had no idea what I was doing?? I wanted to portray this sense of grief and sadness that would shift into a big, fun declaration of hope and all that, but really what wound up happening was me rushing through the grief and sadness to get to the fun bits with the electric guitar. I even made the fun bits with some friends watching just to make sure that it truly was both big and fun! That was the good part, in my eyes. Unfortunately, I just didn't know how to properly convey the feeling I was going for, and I really didn't know how to write a song for a character. I wasn't experienced enough and I didn't have the tenacity to stick with it. That was the first version of the song I ever made. + That's when my dog Beethoven died. He was 15 years old, but I'd only had him for 6 of those years. He was honestly one of the sweetest dogs anyone could ask for. He was intensely loyal, loved to get loved on, and would always come back no matter how far off he ran or how deep into the woods he got. He was one of my best friends, and having this happen to me was a very large shock to my system. I'd been fortunate enough up to that point not to have any close family or friends pass on me, but Beethoven was very close family and a good boy in general. It was my first time having to grapple with the overwhelming feeling of grief that comes with the loss of a loved one, even if that loved one was a dog, and I was struggling with it. I was down and out for a while. If it had been me from a few years ago, I probably would've just laid in the dark and grieved for a long time instead of doing anything useful or trying to get over it. + Instead of just letting myself wallow in it though, I decided to push most of those feelings into this song. I don't really get too cerebral when I work on music; most of the time I just make sure it sounds good and then I move on. With this song, though, I specifically wrote the middle portion with this smothering feeling I had weighing on me in the forefront of my mind. It was a really therapeutic experience for me and I think it reflects in the music. The portion before the guitar comes in has wonder woven into it, but it's also heavy feeling. It being so sparse contributes to this darker feeling which makes the brighter section feel more fun, whimsical, and most importantly, hopeful. + All in all, this was an interesting thing that I learned a lot making. It was my first time receiving real criticism on something I made and I hope people enjoy it! + <i>artisticallyCrafty:</i> + The Mothergrub has always been a fascinating creature to me in Homestuck, both as a part of reproduction and as a lusus. Especially since becoming a lusus means that you give up a life in the brooding caverns for a shortened existence to care for onechild. And with the Virgin Mother Grub drawing so many parallels to the iconic Holy Virgin Mary, I decided to draw my own parallels. I wanted this peice to be symbolic in nature towards the ideas and standards of the Mothergrub. It also may be a little sacrilegious in regards to the Catholic images of the Virgin Mary, but we'll just ignore that little fact. The Virgin Mothergrub floats with the brooding caverns behind her, and her new charge sleeping peacefully nearby, alongside other eggs nearly ready to hatch into trolls that will play a game and sacrifice to create something new. <s>(we're also going to ignore the fact that i may have had an out-of-body experience while working on this piece)</s> +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Amniotic Daydream +Artist: Circlejourney +Track Art: ackro +Duration: 4:16 +References: JUST1C3 R41NS FROM 4BOV3 +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/amniotic-daydream +- https://youtu.be/Bne6tHjEIko +Commentary: + <i>Circlejourney:</i> + I conceptualised Amniotic Daydream together with Skip: the first thing we decided was that it should be a lullaby-like track built on top of a heartbeat. I ultimately ended up working on this track alone, looking to a demo Skip made as a stylistic reference before taking it in my own direction. + Incubating within her egg for almost her entire lifetime, Dragonmom's track describes this inchoate state: the warmth and serenity and loneliness of waiting to hatch, and the constancy of the heartbeat throughout. The gradual build and elaboration of the track mirrors the development of an embryo. Pad synths ebb and flow, swelling and lulling with the beating of the heart. The drums start out muffled, as if heard through shell and chorion, and the sound only begins to take shape towarsd the middle of the track as the riffs grow more complex. + Featured in Amniotic Daydream is a delicate rendition of the motif from the Redglare/Pyralspite-related track JUST1C3 R41NS FROM 4BOV3 (also by me and Skip). This version pares away the ferocity of the original and turns it into a sweet lullaby tune. Terezi's lusus, meant to become a fearsome dragon like Pyralspite, may only dream of that destiny for now - and forever. + I'd love to thank the mods for their feedback, which truly helped me turn this track into what it is now. + <i>ackro:</i> + this piece is probably the most complex one i did for the album, and i think it paid off in spades. i used a lot of elements from the scene in which terezi's dragon hatches and is immediately killed by a falling meteor, which might be one of the best looking parts in homestuck, although its hard to choose since the first half of homestuck is littered with striking imagery. oh my god just look at it. so fucking good guys. its really good. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Arachnida Antecessor +Artist: arcaneGemini +Track Art: Caitlin Beamer +Duration: 2:11 +References: MeGaLoVania +Art Tags: Vriska's lusus, Vriska, cw: arachnid +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/arachnida-antecessor +- https://youtu.be/oP8Y3OVrxY8 +Commentary: + <i>arcaneGemini:</i> + Well hey, would you look at that: my first ever track with the Homestuck Fan Musicians Crew.

You don't want all this personal heartfelt guff? You want me to actually talk about the track? Oh alright. + Aurthor is, unequivocally, the best character in all of Homestuck.

In this case I tried to draw a HORSE (crazy i know) and used this very painting-like flat style, and decided to put Equius's signature up, effectively making it his own painting! This went through lots of colour hue alterations and was originally a very light pink desert in a sunny sky before we settled on this darker background to make Aurthor stand out more.

The scene in which Gl'bgolyb was revealed was, to me, one of the several "holy shit" moments of Homestuck, and instead of trying to depict the vastness of Feferi's lusus, I went for a sense of mystery and foreboding more closely matching the tone of the music, by revealing nothing but its tentacles in silhouette. + Finding the right balance between silhouette and rendering proved one of the primary challenges of completing this piece. Too much light meant the image lost its spooky, foreboding tone; too little made it look flat. In the end I came out with something that roughly strikes that balance, though I still feel it loses some of the spookiness of the sketch. Thanks @ the good people at the Homestuck Artist discord for the tips! +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Al-Aalam +Artist: Kal-la-kal-la +Track Art: shedonkadonk +Duration: 5:09 +Art Tags: The Dolorosa, The Signless +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/al-aalam +- https://youtu.be/gD7C0GrtJ2U +Commentary: + <i>Kal-la-kal-la:</i> + This piece is heavily inspired by the bis radio edit of Turbulence by Arab Strap - 808s and gloomy guitar lines are the order of the day. Mayhaps not the most obvious approach to a track about the Dolorosa but I take a slight measure of pride in that. Quite pleased with the middle section; the cycle of dominant sevenths with the electric piano improvisation atop it. + Grief is a strange thing and I find it rarely conveyed well in music. Another for the bonfire pile. + <b><i>Ephemerald:</i></b> + *The sound of a camera flash can be audibly heard over the music.* Yep. That one's going in my Pietà compilation. But really, is there a more appropriate parallel to make? Probably not. The parable of the Sufferer is full of religious iconography by design, which I guess means that Earth based the Bible off of it, and not the other way around? I don't know. I'll leave that commentary for Hussie, when he (doesn't) get around to it. As a side note, I love the "halos" surrounding the Dolorosa and the Sufferer here.

Scratch has always been one of my favorite characters in Homestuck. When I read through the comic for the first time I loved how he orchestrated the destruction of two entire universes but managed to give an air of dignity and style to such a nefarious event. His demeanor was never overtly evil: it was unsettling at times, sure, but he always acted the part of an excellent host through and through. I tried to represent this atmosphere in my own song. Its jazzy feel ripped from "Drawing Dead" or "The Felt" definitely brings to mind a comfortable stay in Scratch's parlor, but if you listen closely you can notice sinister undertones lurking beneath the surface through the decaying bells and whistling winds. Of course, I had to throw in some reverse piano in the mix as well. It wouldn't be a Felt-centric song without one. Towards the end of the track the piano backmasks some iconic Beta Kid motifs, showing how Scratch is acutely aware of every piece to his puzzle (even when we're not). What kind of an excellent host would he be if he didn't keep tabs on his "guests", after all? + <i>Ephemerald:</i> + So! The Puppet Master. The laid-back yet sinister vibe this song gives off felt fitting for Scratch, who, for most of the comic, just creepily stands and watches things happen. That's why I decided to not have Scratch do some Cool Actiony Villain Pose - he's a puppetmaster. He just needs to lounge. Yazshu took care of the Alternian planet, moons, and the cueball/sun/thing, so thanks to her for the backdrop! +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Group: Disc 3 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Disc 3 +Directory: disc3-cosmic-caretakers +Artist: psithurist +Track Art: Jas +Duration: 0:27 +Art Tags: Gamzee, Cherubs +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/disc-3-3 +- https://youtu.be/Z3C-qzpXNcI +Commentary: + <i>psithurist:</i> + Since Disc 3 only has a few tracks, I went for a simpler approach here, and ended up with a quirky refrain of the theme present in the other jingles. s/o to the Tetris DX soundtrack for getting jazzy chiptunes stuck in my head forever. + <i>Jas:</i> + Styled after old album covers that always seemed to be scraped up and have that off yellow color. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: HONK FRIEND. +Artist: Mathias Ramalho +Track Art: Jas +Duration: 4:14 +References: Reverie, Power Fantasy +Art Tags: Gamzee, Caliborn, cw: blood +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/honk-friend +- https://youtu.be/IynwmfnQYzk +Commentary: + <i>Mathias Ramalho:</i> + This might be the wildest take on a song revolving around Gamzee.

Five years later, it's finally done, stitched together from the composition and/or actual studio clips of like 4 FLPs (I went through about 6, in all). Funnily enough, the scribbles I had for this song in 2014 then are completely different composition-wise from what ended up being made, but the narrative loosely remains in this track: the cherubs' mother drifts through space, searching for her mate. She spots him, taking off at full speed, following him as he leaves a trail of destruction across the universe. Their eventual meeting is tense, cold. Saying nothing, they transform into unfathomable astral serpents, and battle to create the most innocent muse and most shitheaded gremlin to ever exist. + I attribute the latter half of this track to listening to a lot of Hawaii: Part II, which is also sampled at the end. Listen to Hawaii: Part II. + <b><i>Ephemerald:</i></b> + The game of choice for cherubs seems to be chess, or at least, some neon-green candy-red shitty-twist variant of the game, but I'm getting real playing card motifs here. Two identical, serpentine warriors, millions and millions of miles long, locked in a symmetrical whirlwind of a strife. Reminds me of the art to [[track:noirscape]] back on Volume 9, though that's a more literal example. The spiraling, iconic egg in the middle, shining like a light in the darkness, is a very clear reminder of what these two are fighting for: the right to force their opponent to give birth to literally the worst entity in all of existence. But I suppose it didn't matter who won or who lost. After all, he was already there. +Lyrics: + Then all the planets fell to dust +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Group: Bonus tracks

The piece opens with a quartal chord in the harp, and after the atmosphere is established a solo clarinet introduces the main theme of the album. A portion of the orchestra comes in after that and there’s a small swell before tapering off into a cello solo. The ensemble is pretty scarce in this one due to its subdued nature. There’s not a lot going on in this track overall, but it does its job both as the prelude to Pondsquatter and the album as a whole. @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ Art Tags: - Genesis Frog URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pondsquatter -- https://youtu.be/tt9EOkbyv64?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo +- https://youtu.be/tt9EOkbyv64 Commentary: <i>Alex Rosetti:</i> If Genesis Frog were a game, this would play at the title screen.

For one thing, it is the first piece I composed for the album and its melodic material served as its main groundwork, so it’s really important in that respect. But at the same time I had the least experience while initially composing it as compared the album’s other tracks, so I had to spend a lot of extra time fine-tuning it and developing it more (the original was barely under two minutes long).

But it was too much fun to let go of and soon it morphed into a full-fledged character theme for everyone’s beloved, excitable consorts. The general idea behind the music was this: Jit may have made a silly arrangement of Atomyk Ebonpyre, but what could I do to put it in an even more ridiculous context?

What better way than to have the music rise from the ashes and the solo clarinet come back to play a new version of the Pondsquatter theme? The idea behind the countless Genesis Frogs is that they propagate one another, each frog producing the next, and behind this lies the idea of infinity and repeated processes.

So despite only having a vague idea of what the Vast Croak probably was at the time of this composing it, I ran with my assumptions and based the album’s last hurrah around that idea. What little information existed implied the Genesis Frog will Croak once He has matured, and I can only assume it signifies the birth of the new universe in some way.

If you don’t know what happened, up until half-way through Act 4 a guy called Bill Bolin was on the time, one of the original members. He was a great musician, that much can’t be denied; he wrote a lot of tracks that appeared in early act 3; Jade’s bass solo, the remix of it, the last part of the Dave and Bro battle… some others I forget. During that flash with Dave and Rose on Derse the original music was five Bolin tracks, ones he wasn’t all that happy with. He flipped out and did a lot of things that ended up with him dropped from the team, and his music replaced. @@ -172,7 +172,7 @@ Duration: 2:02 References: Showtime (Piano Refrain) URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-remix-3 -- https://youtu.be/ENWA9aNEkXk?list=PL6_yub4_EV2R6PzZdPigyPIiCGFfh3Nzb +- https://youtu.be/ENWA9aNEkXk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Aggrieve Remix Directory: aggrieve-remix-vol-1-4 @@ -182,7 +182,7 @@ References: Aggrieve Duration: 2:11 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/aggrieve-remix-3 -- https://youtu.be/KilKZfggMOU?list=PL6_yub4_EV2R6PzZdPigyPIiCGFfh3Nzb +- https://youtu.be/KilKZfggMOU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Verdancy (Bassline) Directory: verdancy-bassline-vol-1-4 @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ Artist: Kalibration Duration: 0:52 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/verdancy-bassline-3 -- https://youtu.be/Hhwop2K7zt0?list=PL6_yub4_EV2R6PzZdPigyPIiCGFfh3Nzb +- https://youtu.be/Hhwop2K7zt0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Potential Verdancy Artist: Robert J!

This was when the music team's main scoop on the kids was that they were going to have theme instruments that somehow function as their weapons or special abilities as well, although I guess this has only mostly come to fruition with Dave's turntables. Well, I'm primarily a violinist, and Rose's instrument was to be violin/strings, so this was right up my alley. I love just randomly improvising on the violin, exploring different poetic areas, if you will, and coming up with things that sounded beautiful to me. At this time in particular, I was doing that a lot. Hadley's Aggrieve was created first in this case, and I had roughly dictated it, so I knew the notes. I fooled around with it a couple of times, playing with a haunting/sad-but-hopeful tone, and the arrangement that you hear was recorded literally the first time it was played - the first time those notes were played in that rhythm, tone and order was the same time it was recorded. That version, cut, is what you hear in the comic. I reverse-engineered the sheet music from my own recording to do a recording for the album. Unfortunately, I was, and I suppose am still today, new to the recording game, and so there are mistakes I cringe at in both the comic and album versions. Gabe Nezovic's mastering helps to cover most of it, but I still feel kind of guilty about it.

It came about in a strange, almost fateful way, and I think the final product reflects that. It was the first thing that Radiation and I worked on together, and it was through Hardchorale that our friendship started. He approached me with a MIDI file he had made, intending it to be a sort of "boss battle" arrangement of Chorale for Jaspers in the style of Harleboss. He asked if I would be interested in producing it, since at the time he was just starting out and had no means to do so. I agreed, Chorale being one of my favorite Homestuck tunes. So I produced it in a DAW to make it sound "good", and relative to the MIDI file it sounded great, and we were both really happy with it. Radiation got Bowman to record some heavy metal meows, which he apparently almost got kicked out of his apartment for recording and claims to have video of, though I have yet to see it. Once I found out it was going to be on Vol. 5, I added a section to it (roughly the last third of the piece) and at the very end sneaked the Squiddles theme just because I could. I realize that was more of a narrative than a commentary, but it's the history behind this piece that I find fun to talk about more than the piece itself. @@ -136,7 +137,7 @@ Art Tags: - Becquerel URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union-2 -- https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Q?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito +- https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Qg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Skaian Ride Artist: Seth Peelle, Andrew Huo @@ -150,7 +151,7 @@ Art Tags: - Dirk URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-ride-2 -- https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito +- https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4g ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: White Artist: Toby Fox @@ -161,7 +162,7 @@ Art Tags: - PM URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/white-2 -- https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKk?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito +- https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKkg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Octoroon Rangoon Artist: Toby Fox @@ -176,13 +177,13 @@ Art Tags: - Jack Noir URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/octoroon-rangoon-2 -- https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8w?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito +- https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8wg Lyrics: Make her a member of the Midnight Crew! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Pumpkin Cravings Artist: Seth Peelle -Track Art: Freckledoctopus +Track Art: freckledOctopus Duration: 3:57 Art Tags: - John @@ -192,7 +193,7 @@ Art Tags: - cw: eye horror URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings-2 -- https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxs?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito +- https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxsg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Welcome to the New Extreme Artist: Robert J!

This was the first piece I ever composed where I explored colorful and playful orchestration. The xylophone and pizzicato strings that I was playing around with would become my bread and butter a couple years later. I'm not currently known among the Homestuck musicians as being an orchestral composer, but I've reached the point where there's nothing I like composing more than fully orchestrated pieces. At least as far as soundtrack music goes. And not just fully orchestrated either, there's a certain sense of color I love exploring and I like making lighter sounds despite using a bigger and more imposing ensemble.

The bass progression matches Skies of Skaia's, with more bounce to it, and the melody of Skies of Skaia was quantified/simplified into a repeating motif. It was mostly composed by feel the rest of the way. I actually had writer's block for a while after I reached about 1:02, and it never really got resolved, which is why 1:21 onwards feels kinda awkward and not so great. I kinda wish I could go back and redo it so it sounds better. But what Radiation did with it turning it into Skaian Skirmish worked really well. There was some vague artistic direction from the Big Man that helped with this a little bit. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of "okay, maybe you can bring it down a bit in the middle, then ramp it up for the big finish." So I tried to do that using a new bassline, using wandering skips of third and fourth rather than downwise step in an attempt to mirror Skies of Skaia's original melody, as well as scrambling the repeating sixteenth note motif based on the original melody. Like I said, though, I would say it worked out awkwardly rather than well. It does create a certain mood, which, like I said, Radiation capitalized on. Whoops, I just repeated myself, but in more detail the second time. What's that called in literary device terms? Amplification?

The chord pattern is one that I’d liked for several months, possibly even a year or two, without ever having come up with something good enough to write to it. Then, one evening while I was in the shower (all of my best ideas come from the shower) my mind pulled together a half-remembered bassline from an obscure-ish Sonic the Hedgehog game and a brief snippet from an old quiz show called Catchphrase, and strung them into the main harmonies of the piece.

When we first meet her in the Hivebent act, she's an emotionless ghost who later becomes a ghost frog, then a ghost in a robot body (or a "ghost in the shell" :rimshot:), before making her final sea change into a cheerful fairy god with time powers (which explains the ticking and subtle reverse melodies of the song, at least). The peppy piano and melancholy backing strings and woodwinds represent these aspects of Aradia's presonality - accustomed to death, she acts as a cheery Charon for her fallen teammates. I built the piano melody (and the title) out of Alex Rosetti's "Crystalanthemums" because to me, ever since [[flash:2578]], the tune has been irrevocably linked to the trolls, Aradia, Terezi, and Vriska in particular.

It obviously didn't make the cut, and Jane ended up receiving a much more badass theme in the form of [[Cyan Beast]]. At the time when I wrote the song (around January 29, 2012), we really didn't know much about Jane beyond the fact that she was a nice girl who enjoyed baking. I tried to give her a theme that was quaint and melodic, not too energetic like my other submissions; compared to most of the other characters, Jane is very down-to-earth, which I admired. Structurally, it loosely parallels [[Fuchsia Witch]], which was originally titled "Jake's Theme." @@ -1041,7 +1044,7 @@ Art Tags: - Jade URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-four-thrones -- https://youtu.be/gjRlg2sGgN0?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZuWBGTwXgaTHoEU0I81xei +- https://youtu.be/gjRlg2sGgN0 Commentary: <i>Samm Neiland:</i> So this was done mostly as a self response to another fan track I did which was a minute or so long music box rendition of Showtime.

What was originally just another remix suddenly became one of my most well known and recognized songs! It all started when I saw an interesting post speculating what instruments the trolls might've played. There was harp for Aradia, there was guitar for Tavros, and for Terezi it had clarinet. As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to do a jazzed up remix of her theme. So for about two days, I transcribed the melody, worked out some chords, and did up a bassline and drumbeat. It was kind of weird working on this song, since I was using the unconventional 8/4 time rather than 4/4 time. The reason for this was to make the eight-note swing sound like sixteenth-note swing.

My first piece of Homestuck fan music, my first time composing for an ensemble of orchestral instruments, and the uh... second song I ever wrote in a digital audio workstation. I read Homestuck in a feverish marathon in the Fall of 2010 while taking a class about playing in a rock band and recording music (my high school was very cool). Around that time, I'd also been sequencing MIDI files in Anvil Studio (a program which was also the genesis of Bowman's MIDI experience), and had only recently discovered that Logic also had MIDI sequencing capabilities. After falling madly in love with the Homestuck soundtrack, I had an epiphany to the tune of "holy shit, I know how to make stuff like that!" and Atomyk Clockwyrk was thus the result. I've come a long way since then, but it's a testament to the quality of Logic Pro's stock library that I managed to make it sound this good with minimal knowledge of production.

I added a bloom filter to add to this effect. @@ -2383,7 +2386,7 @@ Art Tags: - Jade URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-rebirth -- https://youtu.be/7Uf-CCixByk?list=PLYr2YZ5D3rfQBkwagYEi_JPvVYUIVfxn6 +- https://youtu.be/7Uf-CCixByk Lyrics: (I will rise, I will go so far and)<br>(I will rise, I will go so far and)<br>(I will rise, I will go so far and)<br>(I will rise, I will go so far and)<br>Even in my death Commentary: diff --git a/album/medium.txt b/album/medium.txt index eb3f90b4..f8a7dd67 100644 --- a/album/medium.txt +++ b/album/medium.txt @@ -13,50 +13,50 @@ Duration: 5:36 Directory: light-medium URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/light-4 -- https://youtu.be/WEVS8j6bcvI?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/WEVS8j6bcvI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Shade Duration: 5:46 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/shade-2 -- https://youtu.be/uptvTul6I3Q?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/uptvTul6I3Q ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Rain Duration: 6:34 References: Skies of Skaia URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rain-2 -- https://youtu.be/WWSphawicMY?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/WWSphawicMY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Frogs Duration: 5:06 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frogs-2 -- https://youtu.be/PI785pDsR88?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/PI785pDsR88 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Frost Duration: 5:54 Directory: frost-medium URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frost-4 -- https://youtu.be/1Puozp2uaaM?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/1Puozp2uaaM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Clockwork Duration: 5:13 References: Westminister Quarters, Carol of the Bells URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockwork-2 -- https://youtu.be/AeUNnQ0ZkvA?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/AeUNnQ0ZkvA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Heat Duration: 5:12 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/heat-2 -- https://youtu.be/l_ITpDhYvaI?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/l_ITpDhYvaI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Wind Duration: 8:03 References: Polovtsian Dances URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/wind-2 -- https://youtu.be/mwFWnxZVIFk?list=PLB9D2EAC43B6195B8 +- https://youtu.be/mwFWnxZVIFk diff --git a/album/midnight-crew-drawing-dead.txt b/album/midnight-crew-drawing-dead.txt index a8f3fce0..a7ab3aa4 100644 --- a/album/midnight-crew-drawing-dead.txt +++ b/album/midnight-crew-drawing-dead.txt @@ -8,14 +8,14 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-vol-1-4-with-midnight-crew-drawing-dead - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQBK41qzhR4 -- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL83FE65DF950D7072 +- https://www.youtube.com/playlistg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Three in the Morning Artist: Clark Powell Duration: 2:49 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/three-in-the-morning-3 -- https://youtu.be/zSg6talwzbU?list=PL83FE65DF950D7072 +- https://youtu.be/zSg6talwzbUg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Blue Noir Artist: David Ko @@ -23,14 +23,14 @@ References: Vagabounce Duration: 0:55 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blue-noir-2 -- https://youtu.be/YvMyo3opDOY?list=PL83FE65DF950D7072 +- https://youtu.be/YvMyo3opDOYg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Dead Shuffle Artist: Mark Hadley Duration: 2:17 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dead-shuffle-2 -- https://youtu.be/jTIQhTdy4ZU?list=PL83FE65DF950D7072 +- https://youtu.be/jTIQhTdy4ZUg Commentary: <i>Mark Hadley:</i> The first MC-related thing I wrote, and retroactively became the MC theme song.

They were actually made based on a short fruity loop that The Big Man Andrew did, called haunt.wav or haunt.mp3 or something like that. A jam on his theme, logically, would therefore be called "hauntjam," with the opportunity for naming puns including "hauntjelly." His theme appears mostly unchanged as the bassline for the first part of the pieces. At this point in terms of instrumentation, we were still mostly striving for faithfulness to the canon Midnight Crew "band," as can be seen in <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000018.html">the Extras page</a> wherein the MC fill 'em with midnight (bottom), so Hauntjam employs trombone, string bass, piano, clarinet, and sax (I forget which because I've lost the file and am not a band person, but I think it was alto). From there on, it was fairly straightforward to write a haunting refrain and then solos for each instrument. I will admit I got a little writerblock'd for the second part, which was sort of a brief modulation to the dominant, so it sounds a little strange. But it still has its own little charm, with the almost annoying trill put in for a spooky ghost-like effect. In Hauntjam, Bowman did some good stuff with bringing out moving parts in the first refrain. In Hauntjelly, Xerxes emphasizes the spookiness by changing instruments for more electric organ. @@ -109,14 +109,14 @@ Artist: Robert J!

Fitting, too, that it's named for the paradox in which every piece of an object is replaced gradually until it has nothing physically in common with its original state. The idea for Home we had back then is nothing like what you hear now. SplitSuns and I didn't know what we wanted back then, beyond "Oh hey, you want to make a tribute to Forever? Me too!" It's safe to say that little to none of that initial desire to reimagine Mobius Trip's overture has bled through into the finished product, but it's safer still to say that this song wouldn't be possible if it had been approached any other way. That's not the only thing that's changed in the meantime, either: since we initially promised to collaborate on this, we've both improved as composers and producers, and our styles have evolved, our influences are different, and the zeitgeist of what it means to be a Homestuck fan, particularly a Homestuck music fan, is practically unrecognisable. + For me, making Home was one hell of an experience. I taught myself a lot of new techniques while co-writing and co-producing it, and I'm proud of it in a way I've never been proud of anything else before. Much like the song itself, I'm no longer the same weedy, slightly annoying kid who made a bunch of tracks on [[album:weird-puzzle-tunes]]. That kid couldn't dream of making something like this. Strictly speaking, I couldn't either. This was a team effort with one of the best friends I've made through UnofficialMSPAFans. So a huge thank you to SplitSuns for pushing this song to its maximum potential is in order, as is another to our two fantastic vocalists, Ucklin and WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES. I also want to thank all of the friends I've made through Homestuck music, and by extension, the comic itself. I don't think I'd still be making stuff with this project without your love, kindness, and good humour. + Maybe this is narcissistic (or at the very least, laughably ambitious) for me to say, but I hope that when you listen to Home, you hear some echo of the past or other that resonates with you. I also hope that it feels like something you've never heard before. Much like the titular ship of Theseus, the form has been made anew, but the essence is the same as it always was. + <i>SplitSuns:</i> + I honestly can't recall exactly when the first time Grace and I discussed our love for Forever was, or when that love transformed into making a full-blown tribute, but over the many, MANY months, our pact to realize our emotions in song finally came to fruition. This is the first time I've done such a large-scale collaboration, and it's safe to say that it exceeded all my expectations. Neither of us thought that a track tributing a three minute opener would turn into a multi-part 10:25 epic, but life tends to have ways of surprising you. It wasn't easy balancing the track's complexities, which is why I was beyond grateful to have Grace help out with organizing things. This song would not be what it is without her; it wouldn't even exist at all, really! Her skills cannot be overstated. + The first components of the song were completed by Grace. She wrote and composed the lyrics for the vocal section, and produced the majority of the guitar breakdown/climax towards the end of the track. From there we planned a road map of the song's progression to link together what had been completed: an ambient intro similar to Forever, a transition to lead into the vocal section, the vocal section, another transition to lead to the climax, the climax, and then an ending. I produced the majority of the intro and first transition, with Grace providing additional production and WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES playing live guitar! My goal was to create a composition with the same sense of scale and drama as Forever while having a unique mood, playful and hopeful all at once. I produced the vocal section to match Grace's songwriting, with additional production from Grace; MINES' lo-fi strains contrasted with Ucklin's ethereal melodies very nicely, right on top of a groove I never anticipated coming out of the project. The second transition was done entirely by Grace, bridging the gap between the dance that came before and the cinematic breakdown coming after. Finally, I provided additional production on the climax and created the ending. We wanted something like, in Grace's words, "the digital-age counterpart to the end of Have a Cigar." The result was a little bit more violent than that, but it provides a thrilling conclusion to the experience all the same, jettisoning off into the Incipisphere. + The varied parts of Home take you by the hand and guide you on a journey throughout time and space. It is my belief that by listening, you're taking the same journey Grace, myself, and all the other creatives involved in this album took in the process of making the project a reality. It's been a long and winding road, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

That was the penultimate song on that album, and this is the second on this album. So in a way, they're like weird bookends. More to the point though, this song ended up as an unintentional but fortuitous continuation to the "voyage" brought up in Home, both physical and metaphysical. In literal terms the lyrics are about the crossing of humans along the Bering Strait, but another interpretation is that they're a reflection of a process all humans go through: the pursuit of a purpose, the satisfaction of completing a goal, and the perennial urge to find new things to do, new things to learn, to experience, to travel. It's a fundamental feeling, true from the dawn of you, to your last sail on the pumpkin tide. + <i>Tipsy:</i> + Naturally when everyone else is going for wild, creative concepts, I fall back on making it Homestuck... when I heard Cait's song it made me think of the Battlefield, and when I read the lyrics, I thought, what better thing to depict than the moment Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido look into the clouds for the first time and witness the secrets of the universe? +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Unchained +Artist: M3l0m4ni4c +Track Art: Skyplayer +Duration: 3:24 +References: +- Chain Of Prospit +- The Deeper You Go +- Amen, Brother +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/unchained +Commentary: + <i>M3l0m4ni4c:</i> + I've always had a soft spot for Chain of Prospit with its quirky lyrics and extremely uplifting chorus, so when the time came to start working on a tribute album it didn't take me long to decide which song I'd bastardize. A departure from MTAHK's mellow sound, Unchained ended up being rather frantic and abrasive, resembling something akin to an explosive release of all the suppressed emotions that have been bottling up inside one's heart for way too long - destruction of emotional shackles, in other words. As for Skyplayer's artwork, I think it compensates for what the song might be lacking in terms of depth. Vivid 3-dimensional imagery paired with vibrant colours definitely makes it stand out from other illustrations. + <i>Skyplayer:</i> + Chain of Prospit has always been one of my all-time favorite Homestuck songs. Even just the title of Unchained immediately gave me visions of the Prospit Moon's broken connection to Prospit, but unlike [S] Descend, where the event is catastrophic, I wanted to depict the moon coming loose as a moment of freedom. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Dinosaur Pill +Artist: Ucklin +Track Art: Jas +Duration: 5:06 +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/dinosaur-pill +Lyrics: + You’re awake, the line is dead<br>The wires are coiled up in your head<br>Your unexpected telegram is over + Connected to a time and space<br>A trophy in a rotten case<br>That licked you on your sleeping face like Rover + A fossilized remain of a foreign age<br>Try not to let it out of its gelatin cage<br>You didn't dig the bones out of some old hill<br>Just found them in a cabinet... + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That make you you<br>Will flee now too + Curtains draw, the stage is set<br>Come on, has it started yet?<br>You're contemplating in a cloud of clover + A castle with a gear outside<br>A couple props your mind still hides<br>To stumble on when busy days are over + You never wrap them up but you can't let go<br>You find yourself in one and they overflow<br>Just distract yourself to control the spill<br>You want to but you haven't yet... + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That flesh you out<br>Will walk about + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That hold you stuck<br>Will run amok + Loyalty to your identity<br>What did that thing ever do for you? + Come with me, you don’t need memories<br>To be the you that’s listening right now + You can coast, the parts that matter most<br>Are too far in to carelessly shake out<br>To fall off or fall out + Look at all the Stockholm syndrome<br>Piling up in your childhood home + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there +Commentary: + <i>Ucklin:</i> + This song actually started as two separate ideas.

This cover is an attempt to capture what the original song might have been had it stayed on the original track listing. This is by far the most complex song I've worked on yet, I think there's like... 30 different instances of synths or instruments? At the very least?

I made it back in July of 2018 for the Cool and New Music Team's "Volume 11" project, a plan to make a fan-made meme-filled image of a fake Volume 11 from the Homestuck Music Team's Bandcamp page a reality. All the songs, including a 12-hour "extended" version of Penumbra Phantasm, a rock opera made out of Michael Guy Bowman memes, and a sequel to the Baby is You, were painstakingly produced based on the ideas (and jokes) the track names suggested. Each song's length was the same as it was in the original image, and photoshopped reviews were even added on the album's page using dummy accounts! + For my song (originally called "The Return of Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido") the team was planning on playing it straight and producing a medley of songs from MTaHK. I went with their idea and made a mega-mix of every song on the album, with the caveat being it had to be 6:12 long exactly! I first planned out the structure of the song on a single piano track to make sure it fit the time limit, then went back in and fleshed out all the instrumentation. I wanted it to be reminiscent of Bowman's work, with his classic guitar flourishes, but put my own spin on it all the same. The whole project kind of crystallized over the course of a single week I spent stuck to my computer 24/7, continually tweaking it to make sure the track flowed despite its disparate parts. If you're interested to find out more about its production process check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqpcqEpMndA">this video</a>. + All in all, it's a fast-paced schizophrenic redux of the highlights of MTaHK (which is to say, the whole album) that even now I'm still proud of.

There are no direct, obvious references as to what song corresponds to which character, though there are quite a few indications: each song uses an instrument that is typically associated with one of the kids in a pretty prominent way: whether it’s the piano lead in Heir Conditioning, the solo violin in Dance of Thorns, the bass and flute (shakuhachi, actually) in Atomic Bonsai, and of course the sampled beats and scratches in Time on my Side. I suppose the titles count as somewhat vague references to the characters as well. @@ -61,14 +61,14 @@ Duration: 4:20 References: The Raising Fighting Spirit, Reverse Situation, The Decisive Battle URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/atomic-bonsai -- https://youtu.be/ncLsScNc4ZY?list=PLy5UGIMKOXpMJhJ_NDnOG3_3kzoa48HPM +- https://youtu.be/ncLsScNc4ZY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Knife's Edge Duration: 4:05 References: To Make the End of Battle, Cascade (Beta) URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/knifes-edge -- https://youtu.be/eYdneOkIvvc?list=PLy5UGIMKOXpMJhJ_NDnOG3_3kzoa48HPM +- https://youtu.be/eYdneOkIvvc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group: Bonus tracks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -77,4 +77,4 @@ Track Art: none Duration: 1:32 URLs: - https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/make-a-wish -- https://youtu.be/P0nogEQf3BI?list=PLy5UGIMKOXpMJhJ_NDnOG3_3kzoa48HPM +- https://youtu.be/P0nogEQf3BI diff --git a/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.txt b/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.txt index 19e996ce..44f3d794 100644 --- a/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.txt +++ b/album/symphony-impossible-to-play.txt @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ Duration: 7:00 Directory: overture URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/i-overture-2 -- https://youtu.be/Fi311fNF09w?list=PLnVpmehyaOFbZGlJ_NhUuG0yPfBRzFpfv +- https://youtu.be/Fi311fNF09w References: - Endless Climb - Crystalanthemums @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ References: Sarabande:sarabande-vol5 Directory: sarabande-symphony URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ii-sarabande-2 -- https://youtu.be/iADicSzT0VE?list=PLnVpmehyaOFbZGlJ_NhUuG0yPfBRzFpfv +- https://youtu.be/iADicSzT0VE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: III - Serenade Duration: 5:44 @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ References: Serenade, Ruins Directory: serenade-symphony URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/iii-serenade-2 -- https://youtu.be/wjvxf4QiHfU?list=PLnVpmehyaOFbZGlJ_NhUuG0yPfBRzFpfv +- https://youtu.be/wjvxf4QiHfU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: IV - Anthem Duration: 3:48 @@ -49,4 +49,4 @@ References: Homestuck Anthem Directory: anthem URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/iv-anthem-2 -- https://youtu.be/FaT8T3030mA?list=PLnVpmehyaOFbZGlJ_NhUuG0yPfBRzFpfv +- https://youtu.be/FaT8T3030mA diff --git a/album/the-baby-is-you.txt b/album/the-baby-is-you.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..884c54d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/album/the-baby-is-you.txt @@ -0,0 +1,193 @@ +Album: The Baby is You +Artist: Toby Fox +Cover Art: astroliner +Has Track Art: no +Date: September 27, 2010 +Canon: Fanon +URLs: +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfiwU2f-ts4 +- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZ8yr7acSFrBeUvkA0XlDN6 +- https://recordcrash.com/tbiy/thebabyisyou.htm +Commentary: + <i>sanctfarum:</i> + (<i>From the Homestuck Sound Test 4/13/2017 Edition release notes:</i>) + Simultaneously the worst fucking thing Toby Fox has ever made and his magnum opus that even Undertale cannot surpass, even mentioning this legendary trash opera on the now-defunct MSPA forums was grounds for a ban.

Trace and Fin follow past and future trails, so I made the first melody in the first half hollow and somewhat indistinct, since it is a "future trail" for the second melody that will come in a few bars later. In the second half I reverse this and have the indistinct melody come afterwards, a "past trail" of the melody that just played. @@ -131,7 +131,7 @@ Artist: Clark Powell Duration: 4:06 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/baroqueback-bowtier-scratchs-lament-2 -- https://youtu.be/leIKuIH2FIg?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu +- https://youtu.be/leIKuIH2FIg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Scratch Artist: David Ko @@ -139,14 +139,14 @@ Duration: 3:10 References: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Ultimate Koopa URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch-2 -- https://youtu.be/3OVpWgisy0o?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu +- https://youtu.be/3OVpWgisy0o ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Omelette Sandwich Artist: Mark Hadley Duration: 3:32 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich-2 -- https://youtu.be/a1FivIzXv48?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu +- https://youtu.be/a1FivIzXv48 Commentary: <i>Mark Hadley:</i> I imagined this song being played by Eggs and Biscuits.

If you’ve played it, you might notice the similarity, at least as far as instrumentation goes.

Maybe you already know this stuff, but I'm breaking it down Just In Case. + So here's the thing: the secret buttons with extra music you find after selecting the four corner buttons on the machine are actually broken due to link rot. Somewhat unusually, the flash does indeed pull music directly from external sites which have stopped working over the years. By looking into the flash itself you can see the intended music for each button. From left to right: + - <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/00253/mspa_harlequin.mp3">http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/00253/mspa_harlequin.mp3</a><br> This one still works, as it links back to MSPA. Reused from the Act 2 walkaround, actually. + - <a href="http://www.turner.com/planet/mp3/cp_close.mp3">http://www.turner.com/planet/mp3/cp_close.mp3</a> The Captain Planet theme song, or closing credits apparently or whatever. Idk, never watched it. Visiting this link now redirects you to a redesigned Warner page instead. + - <a href="http://fozzy42.com/SoundClips/Themes/Movies/Ghostbusters.mp3">http://fozzy42.com/SoundClips/Themes/Movies/Ghostbusters.mp3</a> Ghostbusters theme song from some random-ass page that no longer exists. + - <a href="http://pasko.webs.com/foreign/Aerosmith_-_I_Dont_Wanna_Miss_A_Thing.mp3">http://pasko.webs.com/foreign/Aerosmith_-_I_Dont_Wanna_Miss_A_Thing.mp3</a> Same deal as above, but for I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing (as an Armageddon reference).... wait, that's weird. Why does that link play JOHN DO THE WINDY THING? Someone actually purchased the site domain once it expired to make it play a different song ;). + My point is that if you want to be accurate then you should probably be listing the music that Hussie originally put into the flash, since it's What He Intended, and omitting the replacement song, since for all we know it could be replaced any day with a medley of farts or whatever by the new site owner. As an extra I'm attaching the original tracks so you can check them out.

- --- - Your track listing for Dave's Phat Beat Machine, aka <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/test_index.php?s=6&p=002238">this page</a>, is kind of incorrect as listed in the music wiki at [[flash:338]]. Maybe you already know this stuff, but I'm breaking it down Just In Case. - So here's the thing: the secret buttons with extra music you find after selecting the four corner buttons on the machine are actually broken due to link rot. Somewhat unusually, the flash does indeed pull music directly from external sites which have stopped working over the years. By looking into the flash itself you can see the intended music for each button. From left to right: - - <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/00253/mspa_harlequin.mp3">http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/00253/mspa_harlequin.mp3</a><br> This one still works, as it links back to MSPA. Reused from the Act 2 walkaround, actually. - - <a href="http://www.turner.com/planet/mp3/cp_close.mp3">http://www.turner.com/planet/mp3/cp_close.mp3</a> The Captain Planet theme song, or closing credits apparently or whatever. Idk, never watched it. Visiting this link now redirects you to a redesigned Warner page instead. - - <a href="http://fozzy42.com/SoundClips/Themes/Movies/Ghostbusters.mp3">http://fozzy42.com/SoundClips/Themes/Movies/Ghostbusters.mp3</a> Ghostbusters theme song from some random-ass page that no longer exists. - - <a href="http://pasko.webs.com/foreign/Aerosmith_-_I_Dont_Wanna_Miss_A_Thing.mp3">http://pasko.webs.com/foreign/Aerosmith_-_I_Dont_Wanna_Miss_A_Thing.mp3</a> Same deal as above, but for I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing (as an Armageddon reference).... wait, that's weird. Why does that link play JOHN DO THE WINDY THING? Someone actually purchased the site domain once it expired to make it play a different song ;). - My point is that if you want to be accurate then you should probably be listing the music that Hussie originally put into the flash, since it's What He Intended, and omitting the replacement song, since for all we know it could be replaced any day with a medley of farts or whatever by the new site owner. As an extra I'm attaching the original tracks so you can check them out. If you want to verify you can open the flash in a decompiler program like JPEXS and check out where it links to. - --- - i did end up keeping [[JOHN DO THE WINDY THING]] in the featured tracks list since it's what's current and has presumably been around for a while, and is a curious case of a fan track sneaking into official media (however arbitrarily so). if it gets replaced by farts and the reference list needs an update, so be it! :P -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Creeping in My Soul Artist: Cryoshell Duration: 3:59 @@ -770,11 +998,6 @@ Artist: Electric Six Duration: 3:31 URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KgoVyloPo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Death by Glamour -Artist: Toby Fox -Duration: 2:14 -URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TgO-tN5wAM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Deck the Halls Artist: Lost in History URLs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_the_Halls @@ -795,7 +1018,7 @@ Duration: 3:26 URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lrxaY-hcvA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Eight Melodies -Artist: Earthbound +Artist: EarthBound Duration: 2:20 URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC-w9OPgRbA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -823,6 +1046,10 @@ Artist: Chrono Trigger Duration: 1:49 URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YsAyO9oW00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Frosty the Snowman +Artist: Walter Rollins, Steve Nelson +URLs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frosty_the_Snowman +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Fruity Pebbles Jingle Artist: Scott Stutzman Duration: 5:55 @@ -833,20 +1060,25 @@ Artist: N.W.A.

The jagged textures of quartz crystals provide a nice backdrop when paired with the howling, almost glowing sky. There's a ton of detail put into every area of this piece, and that's especially noticable in the Aradiabot occupying the left of the composition. Her damaged and decaying appearance helps to add to the unsettling nature of the piece. Aradia herself is also visible in the art as well. Isn't it a little weird that these two different versions of Aradia are in the same piece...?

Can't help but thank umspaf folk (especially Split) for all the feedback. + P.P.S.

I was ecstatic to be able to create something for a planet we only see twice and have very little knowledge about other than BRAINS and FIRE, so I went with essentially the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the preview of the song: a view of the vastness of the Medium from one of the tendrils of the many brains cooking near the flames. + This piece has kind of evolved as the music has been reworked so there is an emphasis on the planet of fire and the multitude of neurons firing to send thoughts, actions, and commands across the span of the brain field. + <s>(look mom! i'm using my medical knowledge for something dear to my heart!)</s> +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Red Pulse +Artist: ehlsea +Track Art: Elanor Pam +Art Tags: cw: blood (abstract) +Duration: 3:25 +References: Karkat's Theme +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/red-pulse +- https://youtu.be/uZrnoad2yUQ +Commentary: + <i>ehlsea:</i> + As I was writing this song, I wanted it to sound like a video game styled theme for the land.

I mean, the oceans are legitimately made of blood. If that isn't metal I don't know what is. Anyway, this artwork conveys the hostility of stepping foot in such an environment masterfully, with the moody skies, foreboding architecture, and blood-rivers that cut into the terrain and seem to take up the entire canvas. There's great care taken into even the most minor aspects of the lighting so that the piece as a whole feels truly complete. The end result: a pretty cool-looking place, all things considered. Just try not to lose your footing; no one should have to experience being submerged in blood. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Oolongcat +Artist: Ucklin +Track Art: TheChaoMaster +Duration: 2:43 +References: Nepeta's Theme, Horschestra, Rex Duodecim Angelus +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/oolongcat +- https://youtu.be/bQBkjUo9q10 +Commentary: + <i>Ucklin:</i> + This song was created in less than a week after another artist left the project and took their LOLCAT song with them. (I never heard that one!) I started composing it with the little kalimba riff and added from there. I was excited to create a song using instruments that I actually play, and most of the song is acoustic - but time constraints proved to stop me from getting good ocarina takes for the lead, so I scrambled at the last minute to find a replacement and ended up using touch control erhu on my iPad! I wasn't and still am not completely satisfied with the melody, but I felt better about it after I incorporated a version mostly in the pentatonic scale along with the original version, which was then used as a development. I think my main inspirations for this song were the tea and Asian-looking mountains of Nepeta's land, as well as the "snowy" landscape. + <i>TheChaoMaster:</i> + This is painted in acrylic, as I was inspired to paint more after finishing my high school major work which also focused on backgrounds and landscapes. I thought it would be good to try my hand at a fantasy setting. Lolcat is a very cute land and is very bright so I incorporated both of those aspects into my piece.

So I started again (Sorry CJ!!). By that time CJ had more or less finished their cover art for this track though, so I decided to take inspiration from that, and wrote a piece supposed to sound like a string quintet playing by the ocean at night. I had an idea for a viola line, which I built as the main melody, and later realising how well [[track:frog-forager]] would work with it (especially, you know, because of all the frogs), I had the second violin play that melody while the first follows it as sort of a canon. Then I got writer's block. Then [[album:ancestral]] happened, and I instantly came to love Skip's track [[track:theotokos]], so I built a section around that, too. The title was suggested by Kal-la-kal-la around the same time I finished it. + <i>Circlejourney:</i> + The Land of Rays and Frogs is, to me, one of the most aesthetically pleasing lands in Homestuck, with everything submerged underwater and beams of light ascending like infinitely tall pillars from the sea. That, coupled with the incomplete version of the track that Grace had shared at the time, made this an easy pick for me. + I did my best to capture the grandeur (as I picture it) of the Land of Rays and Frogs in my illustration for this wonderfully serene piece of music, focusing on reflections of the light rays in the water, which this track brings to mind.* + *This is only accurate assuming Power doesn't completely rework it considering it's an unintentional Magicant arrangement. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Delta Divination +Artist: ndividedbyzero +Track Art: Chumi +Duration: 3:27 +References: Retconjuration, Terezi's Theme +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/delta-divination +- https://youtu.be/GcXi5JoU_94 +Commentary: + <i>ndividedbyzero:</i> + "Time is like a river that splits into creeks or pools into lakes or careens down waterfalls. I have the map, and I steer the ship." -Garnet, Steven Universe + The above quote is a pretty succinct summary of why I decided to name this track Delta Divination. River deltas are where the flow of water exits into a (generally) larger body of water, whether an ocean, sea, lake, or something else - just like the narrow path of the present branches and exits into endless streams of choices and possibilities. As the planet of the mind player, LOTAF facilitates thinking about each and every direction as its own river delta. Also, LOTAF has rivers too! There's a non-abstract justification for ya! + This track let me do a bunch of things I'm always happy to experiment with, like using 80s synths with radical pitch bends, smooth guitars and bitcrushed drums, so I'm glad I got the opportunity to work on it. I made certain parts of this track represent "clearing the mind", in a sense - note how the drums get far less bitcrushy after a certain point, for instance. Also, what kind of loser references their own song??? Pshh, I know, right. [[track:retconjuration]] gave me an opportunity to narratively represent the idea of "making your own luck" though, relevant to the apotheosis of Terezi's journey as a mind player, so that's what counts in the end. + <i>Chumi:</i> + It was super fun drawnig for Delta Divination, thank you to the music and management team for putting this together! + I love Terezi, as much as I never draw her... and I also love drawing landscapes!

Thankfully, the theme of caves gave me something to work with, and I decided to lean into the soft, echoing quality of underground spaces. I decided that the best way to convey the "silence" would be to have a slowly building intro defined by subtle sounds and silent breaks, with the melody coming in as a subtle echo that slowly builds to crescendo. I tried to give the lead instruments a diffuse, echoing quality to carry on the theme. I'm hoping the builds and silent breaks give the desired effect without ultimately being too minimal and drawn-out. I felt that dripping water was another strong but subtle scene-setting sound element. It also gave me a sound concept that I used for the glass bells, which I tried to give the same feel while building to an arpeggio-style melody to give the track some velocity. Most of the time I spent on the track probably went into arranging the bells, as a lot of thought had to go into the note placement, and I ended up having to compose the part twice after I realized too late that the first version didn't sound correct alongside the main melody. In terms of influences, I think the piece takes some cues from one of the slower pieces from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, particularly for what became the cello section. Oh, and of course I couldn't write a Homestuck track without including at least a nod to the OST, so I snuck in a little bit of Indigo Heir at the end for Equius during the final contemplative fadeout. Overall I'm pretty proud of this track, and I hope you enjoy it! + <i>Cosmic:</i> + I had lots of fun working on this piece, and the input from others really helped me learn new ways to do things and helped the piece come together to what it is now. I feel that the hardest part was making all the pieces of the art meld together into one cohesive and nice to look at image. I hope everyone listening enjoys the song and the art, and I hope they like the album as a whole as it was put together with help from all sorts of talented musicians and artists whom I respect greatly. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Carnival of Nescience +Artist: WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES +Track Art: genericDragon +Duration: 2:05 +References: Miracles +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/carnival-of-nescience +- https://youtu.be/Bjwg6RjvTzI +Commentary: + <i>WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES:</i> + Gosh, I started this song way back in March, when I was starting to get some dim idea of how the fuck music works. At the time, when I was tossing around ideas for what a theme for LOTAM might sound like, I happened to keep going back to the same thing. Magical stoner guitar, baby. Zilly as it must sound, I thought it would make for a neat song. Entreated by this concept, I started work. Enter me doing something a little more different from what I made at the time. + Issue: I needed to shoehorn in an ICP reference. + Solution: I would ask Cait for an ICP clip to shoehorn in, which she assisted by sending me clips of Miracles that were flanged beyond belief, thanks. + After adding on several horn samples over an actual clip, I automated the tempo, so I could have a lurching vibe to that section, and I could get started on the song proper. + Basically, I wanted to create something that had a slight uneasy vibe to it, but was otherwise an easy listen. As it happened, I thought guitars run through many, many flangers would be a nice way of achieving that. Doped up sounding instruments would sound fairly not-high-Gamzee-y, I thought. + Can't say I had much of a plan beyond that. Hate to plan out absolutely everything in advance to be quite honest. As I first added drums, I thought of using noise channels, but was too lazy to actually find good settings, so I bit-crushed normal sounding drums as a placeholder. Rather than change it later on however, I found that the drums already worked quite well as normal fucking drums, so I kept them as is. After that, I added a synth arpeggiation, which much much later at the suggestion of SplitSuns I put an automated pitchbend over, which might be a <i>little</i> hard to hear in the final mix, but eh. Can't particularly say anything that more interesting about the production. That about wraps it I'd say. Even though this song is fairly old by now, I'm still fairly happy with it. Rather works well for the subject matter, not to toot my own horn. + <i>genericDragon:</i> + This piece was a bit of a challenge for me, since landscapes aren't really my strong suit. This was also my first contribution to unofficialmspafans. To me, the song had a kind of dreamy, hazy feel to it, and I tried to reflect that the best I could in the artwork. LOTAM is an interesting land, and I had a lot of fun drawing this. I hope that you guys will all enjoy this song as much as I did! +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Round Perdition's Flames +Artist: Kal-la-kal-la +Track Art: Caitlin Beamer +Art Tags: Angels +Duration: 3:44 +References: Eridan's Theme +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/round-perditions-flames +- https://youtu.be/331ZPNLIdZo +Commentary: + <i>Kal-la-kal-la:</i> + "I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Malestrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up" + Wrath and angels. The title of Eridan's land makes no mention of the actual <i>structure</i> of it. There's a curious contrast between these vast, looming cathedrals, that I like to imagine full of immeasurable stillness and silence, and the destructive war behind the violet-blooded seadweller and the wrathful angels that dwell upon the planet. This piece is intended to represent something of that duality. Title arising from the movement for solidarity between mariners hunting great white perfectly harmless monsters. Big ups to SGM cello and whatever Serum present I used for the wobble bass. Obnoxious bro-step approximated roughly 4 lyfe. + <i>Caitlin Beamer:</i> + LOWAA is my favourite land, so I was very excited to get to draw this piece. My collabs have almost always been written ones, never involving music, so this was an interesting way for me to try that out - especially when Kal-la-kal-la surprised me with exactly the type of music I love! +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: The Hyaline +Artist: Circlejourney +Track Art: allyssinian +Art Tags: Feferi +Duration: 4:13 +References: Fuchsia Moonrise, Love You (Feferi's Theme) +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-hyaline +- https://youtu.be/dDbC9VpsMtc +Commentary: + <i>Circlejourney:</i> + I started creating The Hyaline in March 2017. At the point when I was deliberating over which land to make a track for, I'd already composed music for both Meenah and the Condesce, and I thought it'd be cool to complete the fuchsia troll set. + For me, oceanic (or more generally watery) scenes bring to mind a classic piano + string ensemble setup, with the strings laying down a serene backdrop and the piano's broken chords calling to mind the refraction of light through waves. I had a flute play the melody becaus I relate flutes to glass (y'know, wine flutes...) and also because they're fantastic at carrying slow melodies over more hectic instrumentation. + This piece was a real pleasure to compose; it came very naturally and took me about three days in total. Back when Ver iwas still planning on doing a dream bubble medley to close the album, he asked that we give our tracks distinct melodies, and I promised that mine would be heartbreakingly beautiful; I'm not sure I delivered on that promise but I do think it sounds pretty sweet at least. + As for the title, "hyaline" has two meanings - "resembling glass" and "clear sky/sea" - in other worsd, the perfect fit for Feferi's aquarium-themed land. It's also a fairly simple but uncommon word that I figure would make it easy to remember. + <i>allyssinian:</i> + I wanted to show off the feel and personality that Feferi and her planet share, to go with the light music. In particular I wanted to reference 'Sing Sweet Nightingale' from Disney's Cinderlla, to reflect the watery, bubbly, dreamy feel of Feferi's planet. |
