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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Pondsquatter -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 5:11 URLs: - https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pondsquatter @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ Commentary: After the main section is over, the piece shifts into a short woodwind chorale, and then into what I can only call a cadenza made up of tense suspended figures in the strings with an out-of-meter pulse underneath. I kind of wrote this last section accidentally, since it somehow started flowing out of the chorale and I just went with it. It seemed to have an air of urgency and importance to me, so I kept it in to represent “Skaia’s reflection through broken glass”, which is such a fascinating image. Broken glass has been a recurring motif in Homestuck and seems to hold important consequences every time it occurs, and the text implies it will be significant in the Genesis Frog’s final destination. So the atmosphere of this final section felt significant and fitting to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Consorts' Intermezzo -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 0:28 References: - Buy NAK Sell DOOF @@ -103,7 +103,7 @@ Commentary: The character of the music during this section is a bit different than the rest of the album due to the inherent silliness of the creatures it is representing. The Consorts are all also, for lack of a better word, dumb. The music reflects that too. This intermezzo transitions from the serious tone of the first section of the album into the absurd rom that is about to follow. The idea of including two intermezzos in this album came from the Actraiser Symphonic Suite, a collection of orchestrations from the SNES game Actraiser that used this classic "in between" sort of music as a way to reiterate a recurring theme. I use these little movements in a slightly different manner, but the spirit is the same. Musically, this is a simple interlude that states all the Consort themes that are to come in a solo viola accompanied by pizzicato strings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Buy NAK Sell DOOF -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 3:50 References: Atomyk Ebonpyre Directory: buy-NAK-sell-DOOF @@ -147,7 +147,7 @@ Commentary: The middle section is a very loosely based on the Pondsquatter theme, and the high register marimba interjection makes it obvious in case you didn’t pick up on it in the first five notes. This eventually leads back into the main melody of the piece, and a couple sequences later it ends. I wonder how much it shows that I was really short on ideas for this piece. Any time it was playing up the comedy in timing or shifting feel, it felt more like I had no idea what to do and desperately stuck something in so the piece could move on. Maybe I’m being hard on it; I still think it is enjoyable to listen to. But from a compositional standpoint, it is probably the weakest on the album. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Entrance of the Salamanders -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 2:56 References: Our Glorious Speaker URLs: @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ Commentary: The second part is where things get interesting. It is the only section of the album where I drop the orchestra shtick completely and use an ensemble of recorders, crumhorns, pipes, and an unconventional rhythm section featuring a dulcimer. I thought about what kind of music the Iguanas would make if given the opportunity. I figured they would have a lot of primitive instruments at hand and would produce simple, joyous music. This whole section is unabashedly a tribute to Kumi Tanioka’s work in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. It’s a sort of re-imagining of this world of ancient instruments that she created, and it was one of my earliest influences. There are also seeds of Yasunori Mitsuda in here; it is such a fun piece that I don’t mind citing very strong influences here if people want to hear similar music to this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Frogs' Intermezzo -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 0:14 References: Pondsquatter URLs: @@ -187,7 +187,7 @@ Commentary: This intermezzo changes the tone from the lighthearted Consort music to something more full of wonder to suit the story to come.

The decision to feature the anvil came from Dave’s denizen, Hephaestus, who is referred to as “Lord of the Forge” with little explanation other than he desired access to Jade’s Forge to repair the Caledfwlch. In fact, the entire piece has the feeling of hammering, since harsh gestures in the brass and strings are common in combination with liberal usage of timpani and bass drum. The entire piece is in Dorian, which is a mode I can rarely resist composing in, and it lends a big sense of adventure to it. Formally there is not a lot going on, other than a melody being repeated several times with different orchestration and transposition. An interesting moment occurs when the entire ensemble drops out and a flute solo comes in playing a lighter, more humorous version of the tune before heading towards the climax. All in all, it is a pretty standard theme with a solid tune despite the fact that nothing extraordinary happens for its duration. But hey, we wouldn’t want overkill would we? I was saving that for the next track. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009 -Track Art: Marina +Track Art: Sylladexter Duration: 4:55 References: Pondsquatter, Our Glorious Speaker URLs: @@ -256,7 +256,7 @@ Commentary: At this point I figured, what the hell, I’ll quote Black. It actually fits quite well with the “Jack” device from The Temple’s Withered Bloom that I bring back here, thanks to the fact that they both emphasise on the tritone. My own Jack motive begins to take over from Radiation’s, and eventually the strings are playing it in canon as it gets more and more chaotic, until everything drops out and the lower piano register begins an ostinato based on it. The orchestra builds again into more chaotic textures, the tension drops briefly, and then the theme is recapped as the climax. All in all it is probably the most exciting piece on the album, and for my first foray into more action-like music, I think it does its job well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Speaker (Skaia's Reflection) -Track Art: Marina, Rikuru +Track Art: Sylladexter, Rikuru Duration: 2:57 References: Pondsquatter URLs: diff --git a/album/homestuck-for-the-holidays.txt b/album/homestuck-for-the-holidays.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a9ee3dd6 --- /dev/null +++ b/album/homestuck-for-the-holidays.txt @@ -0,0 +1,198 @@ +Album: Homestuck for the Holidays +Cover Art: Lexxy +Date: December 25, 2010 +Has Track Art: no +FG: #b5d5fb +Canon: Fanon +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-for-the-holidays-unofficial-album +- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLFAMWiDHVM2HPsgWu8_jAgF5qTHgeeOc +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Group: Main album +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Time for a Story +Artist: Nick Smalley +Duration: 1:20 +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/time-for-a-story +- https://youtu.be/u7PHEnU9YAo?list=PLLFAMWiDHVM2HPsgWu8_jAgF5qTHgeeOc +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: A Skaian Christmas +Artist: Mark Hadley +Duration: 2:22 +References: Skies of Skaia +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/a-skaian-christmas +- https://youtu.be/VPB_PlYW89M?list=PLLFAMWiDHVM2HPsgWu8_jAgF5qTHgeeOc +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Anthem of Rime +Artist: Solatrus, Nick Smalley +Duration: 3:22 +References: Carol of the Bells, Frost:frost-vol6 +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/anthem-of-rime +- https://youtu.be/AS9bJhBFXyY?list=PLLFAMWiDHVM2HPsgWu8_jAgF5qTHgeeOc +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Pachelbel's Gardener +Artist: Robert J!

And got it????????? + Then I had to pick an ancestor, and even though I didn’t even care about kanaya at the time, when I thought it through, I decided that I’d probably be best at drawing her ancestor.

So I picked kancestor! + Then I didn’t draw for forever because not knowing what the ancestor looked like made me really nervous. Then she was revealed finally!!!

It’s really bright if you’ve never been outside of a cave your whole life, after all! So she’s lifting it here to take her first look at light on the surface. + I’m really happy it ended up working so well with the song, and this may be my favorite song from the album because I am a huge sucker for woeful strings.
