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. There's some more symbolism stuffed in the picture but this commentary is already too long and I'd like to leave some things open to interpretation.

Even the same symbolism can be found in other pieces: Theseus streaking across his face, shatters of memories lost to space. Mine started to mutate though, to take on a form beyond my control. 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. Much like the man this art is focused on, the very piece itself has become a distractingly shiny mirror reflecting the artist's self-indulgent nonsense.

There's something in the back of his head, something that sounds like white noise, or static, or strange whispers. He dismisses them for the moment; it's probably the headache talking, he thinks. The second thing he notices, as he forces himself to sit up, is how everything is purple. The walls of his room are lined with violet and indigo, and even his sheets and his pajamas (he didn't remember putting these on before going to sleep; heck, he didn't even remember having them) are similar shades. This must be a dream, he thinks, and yet he is unable to shake the feeling that this is terribly, frighteningly real. The third thing he notices is how dark and quiet it is. Faint light streams in through the window, from a blue planet far away. It's thin and wispy, as if shining from behind a veil. The eerie silence makes his skin crawl. He strides over to the window, and looks up, towards the endless void. There is nothing there, and yet it beckons him, and he is nearly compelled to leap into the abyss.

We see a range of personalities, from the cold, calculating Droog to the bumbling Deuce, the goofy Vagabond and the highstrung Renegade. Also, with the possible exception of Jack, they don't really seem that evil or malicious to me. If you'll forgive my use of the term, they seem like Punch Clock Villains, just out to do their job, like the soldiers of any army. That job unfortunately includes the extermination of Prospit. That doesn't necessarily mean they're the bad guys here per se! From a musical standpoint, the Dersites have also been very much linked with jazz for me, especially since the Midnight Crew album. It just seems to fit; they're dark, but not really evil. I didn't entirely subscribe to the Midnight Crew's "dark jazz," though - they're more diverse than that. So I went with a jazzy piece with different elements that hopefully capture the different personalities of the Dersites we've seen so far - lighthearted piano for the Drolls and smooth jazz for the Dignitaries. @@ -595,6 +627,9 @@ URLs: - https://youtu.be/flfyUUpN050 Cover Artists: - Esabelle Ryngin +Art Tags: +- Veil +- Skaia Commentary: |- <i>Charles Neudorf:</i> When I started working on the Veil theme, I initially had the idea to combine a song about the Veil with a song about the labs.
