Serpaz has big earthbound energy and so I wanted to write a battle theme in that style. However, I quickly realized that a more traditional earthbound battle theme would not fit the more intense feel of the record. So I decided to get a little bit…extracurricular with the influence on this. If it wasn’t already immediately apparent, this song takes heavy influence from [[“Megalo Strike Back”]] by Toby Fox. “But Rainy” I hear you ask “Isn’t Megalo Strike Back a song from Undertale/Deltarune?” The answer is no, it’s from [[album:i-miss-you-earthbound-2012|an Earthbound tribute]] so that’s how I can still connect this to Earthbound even if it’s tangential. That being said I didn’t just want to make my own version of a Toby track but I wanted add my own spin. To do that I did incorporate more earthbound-y influences like those from [“Sanctuary Guardian”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M-NkQAo-3E) and [“Pokey Means Business.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMCXMg8p9sc) In addition, I pulled a little bit of influence from [[“Welcome to Hell”]] by Black Midi. The final song is a bit unhinged and all over the place but I think that fits the feel of the song perfectly imo. Fun Fact: I finished this song on April 1st. +Referencing Sources: |- + Rainy: ([HSMusic Discord](https://discord.com/channels/749042497610842152/779895315750715422/1498748116378321076), 4/28/2026) + + It's [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-take-1-unfinished|take 1]] > [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-demo|demo]] > final + + I bailed on take 1 when I couldn't really find a direction and the demo would become the final version --- Track: The Curtain Rises ~ Millenium Actress Additional Names: diff --git a/album/sound-test-ii.yaml b/album/sound-test-ii.yaml index c5e5a2ca..8535c482 100644 --- a/album/sound-test-ii.yaml +++ b/album/sound-test-ii.yaml @@ -518,6 +518,8 @@ Artists: Duration: 0:12 URLs: - https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/the-fool-does-not-laugh-demo +Referenced Tracks: +- track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-take-1-unfinished --- Track: The Curtain Rises ~ Millenium Actress [Demo] Artists: diff --git a/static-page/changelog.yaml b/static-page/changelog.yaml index 460756c5..5266fc87 100644 --- a/static-page/changelog.yaml +++ b/static-page/changelog.yaml @@ -573,7 +573,7 @@ Content: |- - fixed [[track:turncoat-faux-dramatica]] not referencing [[track:turncoat-faux-dramatica-draft]] - fixed [[track:could-i-be-a-hero-too-arcjec-voorat-vs-the-end-of-the-world]] not referencing [[track:could-i-be-a-hero-too-arcjec-voorat-vs-the-end-of-the-world-demo]] - fixed [[track:run-it-back]] not referencing [[track:run-it-back-demo]] - - fixed [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh]] not referencing [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-take-1-unfinished]] and [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-demo]] + - fixed [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh]] not referencing [[track:the-fool-does-not-laugh-demo]] - fixed [[track:the-curtain-rises-millenium-actress]] not referencing [[track:the-curtain-rises-millenium-actress-demo]] - fixed [[track:occult-hymns]] not referencing [[track:go-beyond-and-fight-further-take-1-unfinished]] - fixed [[track:something-good]] not referencing [[track:something-good-draft]] -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5
