Radiation wrote about why the two songs sound similar in his commentary for Stress. If we're going to talk about "what sounds like what", then I'll lay my cards on the table and state that Teal Hunter was begun as pretty much a direct reference to [00 Gundam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt_0Lg4-RkE) from the Gundam 00 soundtrack (if you can't tell by now, I really like Gundams). When I started the piece, the first draft was more or less a low-rent version of that song, in the same way a cartoon that wants to parody Indiana Jones would get a song that sounds close to John Williams' Raiders March without being close enough to qualify as plagiarism. So I just kept fiddling with it until the two melodies sounded different. By the time I got to the final product and had added the buildup in the beginning, the two had nothing but their rhythm and syncopation in common. + When [[album:homestuck-vol-9|Volume 9]] came out, a lot of people looked at Radiation's arrangement of [[Five-Four Stress|Stress]] by Buzinkai and started noting similarities between it and Teal Hunter.

Teal Hunter's original title was Bête Blanche, a play on bête noire, a French phrase literally meaning "black beast" that the fan name "Bec Noir" is most likely a reference to. As evident, the song was originally allocated to PM, the one Exile powerful enough to battle Jack Noir to a stalemate. --- @@ -385,6 +385,13 @@ Art Tags: - Mindfang Referenced Tracks: - Hallowed Halls +Sheet Music Files: +- Title: Separated Instrument Groups + Files: + - 'Cobalt Corsair Brass - Max Wright.mp3' + - 'Cobalt Corsair Strings - Max Wright.mp3' + - 'Cobalt Corsair Woodwind - Max Wright.mp3' + - 'Cobalt Corsair Perc and Misc - Max Wright.mp3' Commentary: |- <i>Max Wright:</i> ([Tumblr](https://imbrog.tumblr.com/post/26895006459/cobalt-corsair-commentary), 7/10/2012) @@ -408,7 +415,7 @@ Commentary: |- So, I've decided to chop the piece up in terms of the instrument groups, for anyone who wanted to understand what the hell is going on underneath all that sound. - BRASS | STRINGS | WOODWIND | PERCUSSION AND MISCELLANEOUS <i>(dead dropbox links)</i> + [[media:misc/cobalt-corsair-brass.mp3|BRASS]] | [[media:misc/cobalt-corsair-strings.mp3|STRINGS]] | [[media:misc/cobalt-corsair-woodwind.mp3|WOODWIND]] | [[media:misc/cobalt-corsair-perc-and-misc.mp3|PERCUSSION AND MISCELLANEOUS]] <i>(dead dropbox links)</i> --- Track: Indigo Archer Additional Names: |
