The first Land of Fans and Music had two of my early songs on it, and I felt it was appropriate that I do my best and show how far I'd come in a year for the second album. "Ave Dei Novi" takes its cue, partially, from the bombastic and incredible Gundam Unicorn soundtrack by Sawano Hiroyuki, especially in the orchestra and percussion grooves, which I worked very hard on. I think I'm most proud of the bongo groove breakdown in the middle and the "Atomyk Ebonpyre" section near the end. Those two parts ended up especially fantastic. <i>xkoraxayomex:</i> Overall I feel that the artwork suits the piece in terms of relativity and presentation. I think it looks refined and somewhat detailed, but there is room for improvement. When I read the title for the piece, Ascension, I automatically thought back to Jade's god tier, as it is simply gorgeous and I just love it. It was a milestone for her becoming an even more essential character in Homestuck. - <i>Lambda Bledsoe:</i> (album organizer) + <i>Lambda Elise Merryberry:</i> (album organizer) this song was originally titled "ascension", but there was to be another song on lofam2 with a similar title ("god tier ascension") (except now there isn't) so wmm changed it to"ave dei novi" which translates to "hail the new gods" --- Track: Nevermore (Can't Sleep, Crows Will Find Me) diff --git a/album/lofam4.yaml b/album/lofam4.yaml index a8ce08f6..d092d3a2 100644 --- a/album/lofam4.yaml +++ b/album/lofam4.yaml @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ Commentary: |- <i>Unofficial MSPA Fans:</i> *The Unofficialmspafans present:* <center>LAND OF FANS AND MUSIC 4</center> - <b>The Team:</b><br>Lambda Bledsoe<br>Veritas Unae<br>Liza McCall<br>[[artist:keyboard-cait|ndividedbyzero]]<br>Lathan Jury<br>Emily<br>ostrichlittledungeon<br>Makin + <b>The Team:</b><br>Lambda Elise Merryberry<br>Veritas Unae<br>Liza McCall<br>[[artist:keyboard-cait|ndividedbyzero]]<br>Lathan Jury<br>Archie<br>ostrichlittledungeon<br>Makin <b>Booklet:</b><br>Circlejourney <b>Additional Help:</b><br>Mark Ciocca (Dagoth Xil)<br>Yishan "Catboss."

I'm mostly just good at recognizing melodies. We didn't have anyone lined up to do the disc jingles (though I assumed maybe Veri would do then, as on LoFaM2+3) so I mentioned to Cait that I had the idea of making each disc a song representative of each prior LoFaM. I sent her files of myself vocalizing the melodies and she transcribed them. You might be tyinking, "wait, but there's not a song on LoFaM1 called Homestuck Title Screen". This is correct. Its composer was unable to be contacted during its production for whatever reason, so it was arranged into both the first and last songs on the album. So, this is sort of like a reprise of the first song on the first LoFaM.

The goal here was to make a song similar in style to Another Jungle (a very underappreciated song) without actually quoting it other than the way that song quotes Sburban Jungle. It was quite a challenge not borrowing anything else from other songs except for when I used a part of Oppa Toby Style towards the end, but this song was fun to make and I'm happy enough with the end result even if it's not as punchy as the original. - <i>Lambda Bledsoe:</i> (album organizer) + <i>Lambda Elise Merryberry:</i> (album organizer) a fair number of songs didn't have commentary from their musicians and/or artists, so i asked a few people, mostly mspafans managers to write some filler commentary for those. they'll be prefaced by bold names. <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor) For the wiki, this commentary is marked with annotations (in parentheses) instead.

Personally, I sort of think of 2 and 3 as parts of one whole because they were so close in proudction and a number of songs were moved from the former to the latter. Also for a lot of people, the most represenative songs of LoFaM2 would be things like [[Alphamatic Replacement]], [[CR1M1N4L, CR1M1N4L]], [[Fighting Spirit]], [[Dance-Stab-Dance]], stuff like that. As the, uh, co-head of Loaf 2 though, I sorta always felt that Jackpot was the "most LoFaM2" song? Not sure exactly what it was. Perhaps that it had like three remixes (two of which never made it to a LoFaM), perhaps that it was my personal #1 "why wasn't this on coloUrs and mayhem" song. But, anyway, yeah, we did Jackpot.

The title of the song is a play on the FreshJamz player which has the fruits on its interface, the Homestuck song [[Hauntjam]], actual fruit jam, and the fact that it is a song (i.e. "jam") about fruits. Neat! <i>sweetjegus:</i> Open your heart to the fruity embrace of Apple Girlington! I have the fondest memories of Jade's fruit mishaps back in Act 3 and a soft spot for fun and twangy tracks, so Fruitjam was the perfect storm.
