I'm not 100% convinced they work but Andrew kept 'em in so whatever. When Andrew asked to use it, it was going to be for a walkaround, so I needed to make some adjustments to make it loopable for the flash. For the album, I added a second section with a keytar solo (I was mucking about with it at the time) to make it a bit more interesting. Ultimatly it ended up being used for something completely different than originally intended, and oddly the name ("Black Rose") became oddly apt once she went all grimdark and tried to fight Jack ("Green Sun"). The name was also a reference to a Sonata Arctica song, similarly titled involving colours, except it was called "White Pearl, Black Oceans". -Cover Artists: -- Vinks (lines) -- Shelby Cragg (colors) --- Track: At The Price of Oblivion Artist: Malcolm Brown Duration: '3:23' -Art Tags: -- Rose -- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-price-of-oblivion-2 - https://youtu.be/u--wSgeJUOs +Cover Artists: +- Shelby Cragg +Art Tags: +- Rose +- 'cw: blood' +Referenced Tracks: +- track:chorale-for-jaspers +- Rex Duodecim Angelus +- Black Rose / Green Sun +- track:aggrieve Commentary: |- Malcolm Brown: The name comes from a line of Rose's during Act 5 while discussing her options of survival with Doc Scratch: @@ -63,44 +70,42 @@ Commentary: |- So that's where we start, with a kind of messed up, creepy violin rendition of Chorale for Jaspers, before we start to build up and then kick into the main part of the song. Around 1:00 we here the music box chords from Black Rose/ return, then at 1:20 it's another Keytar Solo from me (I'd just bought it and was feeling cocky). The rhythm guitar and guitar solo at the end was also me and also something I was terrified to do since I don't normally do "Live" playing (Everything is usually sequenced). In this case, a lot of it was so difficult to do (Because I can barely play guitar. At all) at this speed most of it was played at a slower tempo and then sped up digitally (HAX!). The drums were easily the funnest thing to sequence in this thing, mainly all the awesome fills and the double bass step at the end. The final guitar solo is an attempt to reference Rose's original "Strife" theme - Aggrieve. It's very loosely there, and I reckon needs to come back in some fashion since it's actually kind of awesome. When Andrew told me he was going to use this one for a fight scene I was looking heavily forward to it. Imagine my surprise when just as it's about to kick off...

Then as I was writing the brass became more and more of a foreground element, and that’s how Spider8reath became the screamy shrill funfest that it is now. People who said that the exposed guitar solo at the start reminded them of Van Halen were totally right, because the song ‘Eruption’ was more or less a direct inspiration for it. I think it turned out really well, and it serves as a great intro to the song! Really though, the main inspiration for this song simply comes from building on the previous Vriska songs that Radiation did. While the brass was a new, spur-of-the-moment addition, the guitar riffs and melodies were always supposed to be reminiscent of stuff like Spider’s Claw, Killed by Br8k Spider and MeGaLoVaNia. People definitely seem to associate this song with Vriska too now, so mission accomplished I guess? -Cover Artists: -- Lazylaz -Referenced Tracks: -- Spider's Claw -- Heir Conditioning --- Track: Lifdoff Artist: Malcolm Brown Duration: '2:38' -Art Tags: -- John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lifdoff-2 - https://youtu.be/8NvMi8GJKUM +Cover Artists: +- Stevie +Art Tags: +- John Commentary: |- Malcolm Brown: Name's fairly obviously a reference to SB&HJ And also the bit where John's car takes off, as the song is a reference to. Another music team discussion got onto the stereotypical "Airship" themes you get in JRPGs. Homestuck didn't have one, so off I went to fix that! The original plan was "Showtime in the style of a soaring, brass-filled JRPG Airship theme (ala Highwind, Ragnarawk takes to the skies, Wings etc.) and that's where the first bits come from. Around about 0:56 I wanted to try some cool chord progression as a kind of extension of John's theme (Something I've used in future i.e. Do You Remem8er Me). Someone's recently since pointed out this sounds like the theme of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story which is kind of annoying, since I'd never heard that before and it completely does. Still, I stand by it. -Cover Artists: -- Stevie --- Track: Awakening Artist: Erik Scheele Duration: '3:57' -Art Tags: -- John URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/awakening-2 - https://youtu.be/ss0NXbwO_Xs Cover Artists: - Devin H-S +Art Tags: +- John Referenced Tracks: - track:ruins --- Track: Havoc To Be Wrought Artist: Thomas Ferkol Duration: '3:16' -Art Tags: -- Equius URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/havoc-to-be-wrought-2 - https://youtu.be/E7pBfnN7b1w +Cover Artists: +- Left +Art Tags: +- Equius Commentary: |- Thomas Ferkol: Havoc to be Wrought was spawned from an idea for a short story I had in my mind about a man climbing the old bell tower of an abandoned church investigating strange sounds that had plagued a small town, only to be forced into a confrontation with the “King of Owls” once he reaches the top, and ending with the KoO cutting the bell rope that the man clung to and screeching in the night. Things changed though. Once I had actually started writing and refining it, I decided to change its message, from a mad owl thing to the mysterious demon in the troll’s session which had been recently mentioned in the comic (I wrote this sometime in Fall 2010). Also, yes, that is why there is distorted owl screeches at the end, although they were more meant to evoke the horrorterrors crying out in pain than owls by the time it was finished. Contains some very powerful organ and some great chord progressions, but also some structural choices I am not completely proud of, which remained in the piece until its release months and months later because the original Finale file crashed on me before I had a chance to save it. So, rather than attempt reconstructing it, I went with what I had, and it stuck. -Cover Artists: -- Left --- Track: Play The Wind Artist: Kalibration Duration: '3:36' -Art Tags: -- John -- Jack Noir URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/play-the-wind-2 - https://youtu.be/wR-NTkyJ0eg Cover Artists: - Suki +Art Tags: +- John +- Jack Noir --- Track: Rumble at the Rink Artist: Toby Fox Duration: '2:42' -Art Tags: -- Equius -- Gamzee -- Eridan URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rumble-at-the-rink-2 - https://youtu.be/Mpyny6XTDY8 Cover Artists: - Stevie +Art Tags: +- Equius +- Gamzee +- Eridan --- Track: Let's All Rock the Heist Artist: Robert J!

There's also a little bit of wanting to try some new instrument samples (Namely choir and guitar) so there was a bit of experimentation in this one too. - The working title for this one was "Doctor on the Bridge", because the choir instrumentation at the start reminded me a bit of "The Bridge of Khazad-dûm" (the bit after Gandalf dies in the LOTR movie). The final product aimed at being a bit closer to the original SotWW so I gave it a kind of darker twist - "Dreaming Dead" worked quite well as a title and Homestuck concept (And kept the alliteration). The ending I like, it channels a bit of danger and kickass before ending rather uncertainly. I wasn't fully 100% on this one to begin with - There were parts I liked and parts I didn't - And it's not as faithful a 'Doctor/Waking World' homage as it could be...

After it was used in Cascade, particularly with Rad's additions to the ending and generally going along to the animation of Jade Being Awesome and Universes Being Destroyed it's hard for me not to like it now - Particularly when the end cuts hit and everything's starting to head towards disaster.
