Sound familiar? - When we shifted into gear to create new Homestuck music following the start of Act 6, I was asked to refurbish the forgotten 40-second theme I'd written as the theme to Sburb Alpha. "Another Jungle" is thus the alpha equivalent of [[track:sburban-jungle|"Sburban Jungle"]] which I had written back when Homestuck began - structurally both songs are very similar, but each with their own melodies and sound choices. + When we shifted into gear to create new Homestuck music following the start of Act 6, I was asked to refurbish the forgotten 40-second theme I'd written as the theme to Sburb Alpha.

"Another Jungle" has the benefit of years of experience with production I did not have when Homestuck began, and to me the fidelity difference really shows. Since writing "Sburban Jungle" I'd become far more familiar with automation, recording, eq, mixing, mastering, and all the techniques that polish a music project. "Another Jungle" is far more dynamic than its predecessor, with each subsequent section of the song having its own unique way of using the instruments and sounds in the project. @@ -609,7 +609,7 @@ Lyrics: |- Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, [Tumblr](https://web.archive.org/web/20181217213819/http://iambowman.tumblr.com/post/25256423852/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-gamegrl), 6/16/2012) - Originally we'd planned on doing a Homestuck album that was devoted entirely to the Sburb Alpha kids and their session, all of us doing tracks that would parallel earlier tracks in a same-but-different fashion.

While we can only imagine what the set-decorating GameGrl magazine from Jane Crocker's bedroom might actually be like, it's pretty easy for me as a child of the 90's to imagine how the magazine might have looked in the era of the Burger King Kid's Club and Lisa Frank. With GameGrl I attempted to capture a lot of the basic messages perpetuated to girls by children's advertising in the 90's: @@ -1330,7 +1330,7 @@ MIDI Project Files: Commentary: |- Erik Scheele: (composer, [Tumblr](https://erikscheele.tumblr.com/post/24963696053/volume-9), excerpt, 6/12/2012) - I don't remember how long ago it was that [[artist:clark-powell|Plaz]] asked me to do an improvisation around her [[track:three-in-the-morning|Three In The Morning]], but I did it, and here it is! + I don't remember how long ago it was that [[artist:clark-powell|Plaz]] asked me to do an improvisation around her [[Three In The Morning]], but I did it, and here it is! --- Track: Lancer Artists: @@ -2046,7 +2046,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, [Tumblr](https://web.archive.org/web/20181217213920/http://iambowman.tumblr.com/post/25389363191/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-another), excerpt, 6/18/2012) - I've mentioned a few times that Homestuck Vol. 9, in its early planning stages, was conceived as an album that would be dedicated to the new session of Homestuck, and most of the tracks would mimic older songs re-imagined in the new universe presented in Act 6.

"Another Countdown" was retooled from its parent track to be far mellower at first - the bass and drum comping is a bit latin in flavor, and much of the song's first half is almost completely quiet until the explosion that finishes off the track. When the concept of the record was changed, it was decided that this relatively short song would be included as a bonus when you purchase the full album. -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5
