Now I’m about to graduate from college. Isn’t that surprising? Time flies. + Spacetime Starstriker was also the second track of its original release platform. It was first published through a different music team (am I allowed to name CANMT here?). At the time, I think I was mainly excited about the track’s aggressive time signature changes. + Over the years, I’ve assembled a laundry list of things I’d change in the piece if I were to start again from scratch. But I’m still proud of the original product, and grateful for the reception thus far. I feel content with this being my last major contribution to the HS fanmusic space. For the time being. + Many of the motifs and quotes in this track are lifted from CANMT tracks. What a fun group! Those folks helped me get into music-making in the first place, and I most certainly would not be here without them. I encourage you to check out some of the more experimental albums we released. They’re more interesting to me than the Greatest Hits compilations, anyhow. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Post​-​Ironic Radical Child Abuse Anthem +Artist: Gryotharian +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 1:57 +References: +- track:beatdown-strider-style +- Cascade (Beta) +- vs bros +- track:sburban-jungle +Samples: +- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 +- uh oh +- TEETH AND BLOOD +- hurt2.wav +- Sega Jingle +- Tekkno Pigeon +- All Minions Go To Hell Main Title Theme +- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 +Art Tags: +- Dave's bro +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/post-ironic-radical-child-abuse-anthem +Lyrics: + (Suspect armed with skateboard, requesting backup.) + + (dave im going to eat ur baby) + (HIT IT.)

It worked… alright. The original plan for the song was just going to be a straightforward beatdown remix, but I liked what I made too much to relegate it to that, and also really wanted to reference [[album:the-baby-is-you|The Baby Is You]], so thus was born this shitpost of a song. + I hope the art reflects that energy too.

At some point I was reminded of rave and scene aesthetic Nepeta headcanons/AUs etc, loved that and thought it was the best track to riff off from that ! Even though I was inspired by Nepeta I think it could very much fit Meulin as well, it's a very Leijon track in my mind. + Gryotharian: + I'm sorry for my sins +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Princess Berryboo and Her Orchestra Present "Friendship is Paramount" ft.

At this point I was just challenging myself to make as many homestuck covers in as many different styles as I could and I think this one is particularly special.

Jade's story always captivated me—the way her life was idyllic, lonely, triumphant and tragic in turns. It's one of my favourite parts of Homestuck, and I wanted to pay her a little tribute. I included her theme instruments, the flute and bass, as well as howling SFX in reference to Bec. Many thanks to FunkMcLovin for playing trumpet on the track. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: 24/7 lo fi anime beats to achieve your destiny to +Artist: FrostyMac +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 3:02 +References: +- Penumbra Phantasm +- track:doctor +- Heir of Grief +- Moshi Moshi? +Art Tags: +- John +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/24-7-lo-fi-anime-beats-to-achieve-your-destiny-to +Commentary: + FrostyMac: + I was messing around with this drumkit and it just kinda turned into this. + Gryotharian: + Yeah I don’t think I had another option I had to draw this. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Alpha Admission +Directory: alpha-admission-lofam5 +AKA: track:alpha-admission +Artist: Pascal van den Bos +Track Art: Monckat +Duration: 3:47 +References: +- Temporal Guardian +- Cooldown +- Daughter +Art Tags: +- Dirk +- cw: blood (abstract) +- cw: body horror (abstract) +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/alpha-admission +Commentary: + Monckat: + In a cross-multiversal display of brotherhood among shades-wearing anime swordsmen, Dirk and Kate’s dad (from [[group:desynced]]) chop up some goons.

This used to be a lost track, and I might have never heard it if Rafe Saltman hadn’t reuploaded it on Youtube, so he deserves our thanks.

I pretty much barfed [[track:aggrieve]] onto Famitracker, changed some chords here and there, and that's that. I think it came out pretty good. + Gryotharian: + Upon Makin’s suggestion, someone needed to make the art for this Rose pondering her orb. And that someone was me. I like to think she does this regularly. Has a special room in her house just for Orb Pondering. And Kanaya just has to deal with it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Dreamers +Artist: Scorpyus +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 5:29 +References: +- track:atomyk-ebonpyre +- It Looks Back +Art Tags: +- Dave +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/dreamers +Commentary: + Scorpyus: + I did my best to capture the dreamy feeling of the moons with the slightly sinister undertones. Originally started out as [[Prospit Dreamers|"Prospit Dreamer"]] funnily enough, but then I added the [[track:atomyk-ebonpyre]] motif and I decided it might fit better as just a track for both the moons. + Gryotharian: + I originally had very different art in mind for this track, but every time I heard it, it made me think of someone falling through the center of Derse. The use of the [[track:atomyk-ebonpyre]] motif decided that that person would be Dave, and while it didn’t really end up being the center of the planet, I feel like I captured the vibe well enough. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: F∞ クライミング『CLIMBING』 +Artist: SplitSuns +Track Art: SplitSuns +Duration: 2:50 +References: +- Climbing to Infinity +- track:endless-climb +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/f-climbing +Commentary: + Makin: + This track originates from CANWAVE 3, a vaporwave album for the Cool and New Music Team.

This is that but LOWAS, and also taking 20 minutes to render a frame instead of whatever fps the old screensaver ran at. The cost of beauty. It's an honor to make art for a LOFAM album, I've been listening to the older ones since I was a teenager. You could say that with this art I fulfilled a Pipe Dream. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Stab - Stab - Stab +Artist: Interrobang +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 3:56 +References: +- Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) +- Rain +- Flare +- LRAD +- PLUR Police +- Boss Mode +- Destroy Them With Lazers +- Bad Apple!! +- My Sharona +Art Tags: +- Jack Noir +- Lord English +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/stab-stab-stab +Commentary: + Interrobang: + I made this track for the Cool and New Music Team Felt/Midnight Crew album circa 2018 or so, and it was nominated for “the next LOFAM” long before any actual prep for this album had really started. I actually requested it be taken off of LOFAM5 because I felt it didn’t meet my standards anymore, but due to a miscommunication it stayed on. I found this out about 15 minutes before the release stream, which is happening as I type this - Album is sounding great, y’all! Anyway, hope it sounds better to you than it does to me. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: A Dream Of Broken Clocks +Artist: Gryotharian +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 6:31 +References: +- English +- WORST END +- The Puppetmaster +Art Tags: +- Doc Scratch +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/a-dream-of-broken-clocks +Commentary: + Gryotharian: + This is a really weird one for me. Originally, I started out with the intention to do a remastered and updated version of my track “[[The Puppetmaster]]” from our previous release [[album:friendsymphony|Friendsymphony]], but slowly, I came to realize that the remaster kind of sucked, and all traces of it were eventually wiped from this track. The intro (can you call it in intro if it’s more than half the song?) came to me about half a year after the main body of the song, it was the first thing I ever recorded vocals for, and may well be the last. Not much point in putting lyrics down though, cause all they are is “ooOOOOooo”. I was listening to a lot of Colin Stetson’s music during the time I made it so that probably played some influence in it. Then another half year after that I replaced the main body of the song too, because after listening to it with fresh ears, it was kind of a discordant mess. I kept the original idea behind [[The Puppetmaster]], a distorted mix of [[WORST END|Worst End]] and [[English]], but that’s about it. I might release that version eventually, but it won’t be on this album. + This was some of the first non-pixel digital art I ever did, and for that, I think it turned out pretty well. However, I had a real knack for doing things the hardest possible way, and oh my god, I never want to draw another clock again. I did all of this, with a keyboard and trackpad, on a free trial for a photoshop knockoff. That wallpaper? I didn’t figure out how to use the copy-paste tool properly, and had to manually put in every detail on it. This was a nightmare to complete, (albeit a nightmare of my own making), so you all had better appreciate it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Black (Electro Swing Remix) +Artist: Spad3s +Track Art: J-Airshiper +Duration: 2:55 +References: +- track:black +Art Tags: +- Jack Noir +- cw: blood +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/black-electro-swing-remix +Commentary: + Makin: + The art for this track is actually a video, so I had to combine a few frames into one, but you can probably get the gist.

I think this is the only one that I didn’t have to make any edits to after submitting it, and it’s one of my oldest submissions too, I made this well over a year ago. Very briefly, it was going to be a Vriska and Eridan track, using all different instruments, but it wasn’t working well, and as soon as I switched it to the piano samples, the rest of the song just basically created itself, becoming a whole new vibe that was very The Felt, and not at all Vriska and Eridan. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Furthest Ringside +Artist: Monckat +Track Art: Monckat +Duration: 2:38 +References: +- Switchback +- track:upward-movement-dave-owns +- Core of Darkness +- Ace of Trump +- track:frost-vol6 +- At The Price of Oblivion +- track:endless-climb +Art Tags: +- Rose +- Dave +- Horrorterrors +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/furthest-ringside +Commentary: + Monckat: + A track vaguely themed around Dave, Rose, Derse, and the lovely eldritch horrors next door.

I’ve always loved the whole Alternian vibes, the hemospectrum and the high bloods and especially and so I decided to make a song about it. I did my best to capture in the song the grandness of Alternia, its sinister nature, and Doc Scratch’s effect on the planet and this is what I got.I spent a while trying to come up with a name and eventually landed on either Blood Rite or Blood Right, either way it’s sort of a pun so take that how you will. + swanfire: + Decided to focus on the handmaid and the condesce because of the female laughs in the track and also because they basically shaped the blood based society of alternia as it is.

While I had a lot of fun making that album, over the years I've come to regard its composition and instrumentation as somewhat amateurish; I was still rather new to Famitracker, the software I used to make all those songs. + While I had at one point wanted to remake the entire album using the chiptune skills I know today, the only song I ever ended up remaking was "[[Madame Controversielle]]", the album's song for Vriska. The remake was put on the CANMT album "troleplanet", and the reasoning behind its title was simply to take the original one and slap a 2 on it! So yes, there is indeed a Madame Controversielle 1, but I really don't get why you would want to listen to it over this version. + Gryotharian: + I’m not sure about how this one turned out. All the chiptune and vriska definitely made me think of like, a retro game player select screen, so I went back to my old pixel art style, and tried to fill it with the most vriska that vriska could vriska.

I wanted to do something specifically for the offscreen period between the end of homestuck and the epilogues, his journey to becoming what he is now, his acceptance of becoming the villain, etc. Mainly, just really love Dirk. Also, it’s an excuse to give some love to some of his more underrated songs. (Basically anything that isn’t [[track:beatdown-strider-style|Beatdown]].) I had never even heard [[Austin, Atlantis|Austin Atlantis]] before I started on this song, and man was I missing out, so it quickly became the basis for the whole thing. In retrospect I wish I could’ve put [[Orange Hat]] in there somewhere, mainly just cause that’s also an awesome underrated song, but by the time I remembered, this was mostly done and it wouldn’t have really fit anywhere. This might be the song I’m happiest with on this album. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Strain +Artist: +- TirantBacon +- WarxTron +Track Art: Monckat +Duration: 2:27 +References: +- Five-Four Stress +- Apexhalation +Art Tags: +- Dirk +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/strain +Commentary: + Makin: + Do you know the track “[[Stress]]” from [[album:homestuck-vol-9|Homestuck Volume 9]]?

[[Rex Duodecim Angelus]] in all it's dark neo-classical glory seemed like the perfect track to arrange in this style, though I only kept the original melodies and ideas from it so I wouldn't have to go down a rabbit hole of character themes that could derail the intent of the arrangement. The ending section is inspired by another IP entirely (if you can guess what it is I did a fine enough job), but it seemed appropriate given the context. Very happy with how it turned out! Also the title is pretty long winded but I wanted to fit the Touhou/Demetori naming format haha. + Monckat: + Tried my best to create something as complex and intimidating as the track itself. The idea here was for the art to initially seem like random organic noise, with the Black King only popping into view on a closer look. Originally I was planning on using a lot more shading on this, some gradients and blur/glow effects too maybe. But I ultimately found it was more striking to restrict myself to only two colors. I like the idea that this is simultaneously my simplest track art in terms of color range and my most complex in terms of detail. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Black Hole's Dozen +Artist: Monckat +Track Art: Monckat +Duration: 3:25 +References: +- The Lyrist +- The Thirteenth Hour +Art Tags: +- Alternate Calliope +- Green Sun +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/black-holes-dozen +Commentary: + Monckat: + [[The Lyrist]] is one of my favorite Homestuck tracks, with its main melody being in my humble opinion the most hauntingly beautiful refrain on the whole soundtrack. Which is why it’s always driven me slightly mad that said melody only appears in the first 45 seconds and never returns. And while the rest of the track is wonderful in its own right, it’s never stuck in my brain quite as much. + So the idea with this track was to attempt in my own flawed way to extend those first 45 seconds into a full track, and for the most part the way I chose to do that was to work in pieces of [[The Thirteenth Hour]] (along with adding in some original stuff). Hope you guys like it! + The title is in reference to a baker’s dozen (13), which alludes to the use of [[The Thirteenth Hour]]. + The teal and purple orbs are intended to be the orb things Alt Calliope uses to create the black hole in Act 7. My little headcanon for those orbs is that they're genesis frog frogspawn, basically embryonic universes.

HIT IT.) +Commentary: + Gryotharian: + There was a lot going on in the production of this, and none of it had to do with the final track. A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date. Had it stuck in my head for months. Cleaned up the mixing over the next little while, and the rest is history. I had two names for it for a while, Teeth and Blood, and Space Crusader. Originally I was going to go with both, have one of those little ~ things in between, but I decided that Space Crusader, while it fit the vibe of the song, didn’t really fit the vibe of Caliborn, so I dropped it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Predomination +Artist: Kal-la-kal-la +Track Art: Monckat +Duration: 4:13 +References: +- Voidlight +- Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) +- The Lyrist +- Reverie +- Carne Vale +- Archagent Everlasting +Samples: +- Let The Squiddles Sleep (End Theme) +- Mayor Maynot +Art Tags: +- Lord English +- Calliope +- cw: blood +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/predomination +Commentary: + Monckat: + Calliope alone, haunted by visions of her other half’s future. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: The Power of RETCON +Artist: Levc +Track Art: Gryotharian +Duration: 2:49 +Art Tags: +- John +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-power-of-retcon +Commentary: + Levc: + TIME, SPACE, MAGIC, HANDS, UHHHH NARRATIVE? + RETCON + A melody that encapsulates the powerful nature of the retcon powers John has.

In a weird way it was inspired by David Wise’s ambient synth style, cause I’d been listening to a lot of the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, especially Stickerbrush Symphony. For a game about a monkey fighting a crocodile over a pile of bananas, that game has a surprisingly amazing soundtrack. Once I had a chord progression down I felt like it should be about the cracks in the universe, with a similar vibe to [[Do You Remem8er Me|Do You Remem8er me]], and then I eventually ended up just referencing it at the end of the track. It didn’t really end up very DKC or very [[Do You Remem8er Me|Do You Remem8er me]], but both those things are far outside of my usual style so I’m not all that surprised, and what it did turn out as is something I like a lot. + Cratmang: + When you think about it, Caliborn/Lord English is kind of a tragic figure.

This track began as an experiment with the layering of different-length loops on each other in a way that would never exactly repeat itself, which you can hear in pretty clearly the first section - it’s something one encounters often in minimalist and ambient music, and I’d like to do more with the technique in the future. Hope you enjoy! + Monckat: + I like to think Caliborn worked really hard on this one, maybe it’s hanging over a mantelpiece in Lord English’s manor somewhere.

I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like. The original is definitely the better version of the song in the long run, though. + Makin: + This amazing redux version of the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Colours and Mayhem: Universe A]] track was hidden away in the musician’s bandcamp, known to few.

At some point the skull got added, and the whole piece became very… I dunno how to describe it, like classical? Archetypical? Something like church stained glass, or a tarot card, and I gave Ult Dirk a halo type thing. Then a very unfinished version of it sat on my desktop for several months, just the rough outline with the colors blocked in. I slowly chipped away at it, adding details like each poster and book and the window, until finally I decided that I’d better finish this up, and did all the shading and lighting and everything in one incredibly long day. There’s an alternate version without the highlight sketching, which I was unsure about, but Shwan said they liked this version better, so this is the version on the album. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: Somnambulist +Artist: heir-of-puns +Track Art: Awkward +Duration: 3:35 +References: +- Even in Death +- Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse +Art Tags: +- Roxy +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/somnambulist +Commentary: + heir-of-puns: + This is like the third entirely redone version of this song but I think it's finally getting there.

Originally, I started out with the intention to do a remastered and updated version of my track “[[The Puppetmaster]]” from our previous release [[album:friendsymphony|Friendsymphony]], but slowly, I came to realize that the remaster kind of sucked, and all traces of it were eventually wiped from this track. The intro (can you call it in intro if it’s more than half the song?) came to me about half a year after the main body of the song, it was the first thing I ever recorded vocals for, and may well be the last. Not much point in putting lyrics down though, cause all they are is “ooOOOOooo”. I was listening to a lot of Colin Stetson’s music during the time I made it so that probably played some influence in it. Then another half year after that I replaced the main body of the song too, because after listening to it with fresh ears, it was kind of a discordant mess. I kept the original idea behind [[The Puppetmaster]], a distorted mix of [[WORST END|Worst End]] and [[English]], but that’s about it. I might release that version eventually, but it won’t be on this album. This was some of the first non-pixel digital art I ever did, and for that, I think it turned out pretty well. However, I had a real knack for doing things the hardest possible way, and oh my god, I never want to draw another clock again. I did all of this, with a keyboard and trackpad, on a free trial for a photoshop knockoff. That wallpaper? I didn’t figure out how to use the copy-paste tool properly, and had to manually put in every detail on it.

Which is why it’s always driven me slightly mad that said melody only appears in the first 45 seconds and never returns. And while the rest of the track is wonderful in its own right, it’s never stuck in my brain quite as much. So the idea with this track was to attempt in my own flawed way to extend those first 45 seconds into a full track, and for the most part the way I chose to do that was to work in pieces of [[The Thirteenth Hour]] (along with adding in some original stuff). Hope you guys like it! The title is in reference to a baker’s dozen (13), which alludes to the use of [[The Thirteenth Hour]]. The teal and purple orbs are intended to be the orb things Alt Calliope uses to create the black hole in Act 7. My little headcanon for those orbs is that they're genesis frog frogspawn, basically embryonic universes. The idea being that since it took two universes to create the Green Sun, perhaps it takes three to destroy it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: PAST FUNK IS WORSE THAN FUTURE FUNK Artist: Koba Track Art: cloudie -Duration: 2:19 +Duration: '2:19' References: - saoidfisd Samples: @@ -930,7 +960,7 @@ Art Tags: - Karkat URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/past-funk-is-worse-than-future-funk -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- (THAT BOX RIGHT THERE UH, CLICK IT I'M KARKAT Y-YOUR FAVORITE- I'M-I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER OF HOMESTUCK I C- I CREATED HOMESTUCK I'M UNDERTALE MY NAME IS KARKAT LISTEN, TO THIS-) [Sampled vocals from "feeling right" by Moe Shop] @@ -945,17 +975,17 @@ Lyrics: (They don't love you like I do, they don't love you like I do) (CLICK IT AND BUY IT, DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO IT, UH BUY IT AND-AND BURN A CD AND TH-THROW THE CD ON THE GROUND AND SPIT ON IT AND THEN BUY IT AGAIN AND THEN TELL YOUR MOM YOU WANNA MOVE OUT, JUST- I'M KARKAT, HEY UH HOMESTUCK VOLUME...

A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date. Had it stuck in my head for months. Cleaned up the mixing over the next little while, and the rest is history. I had two names for it for a while, Teeth and Blood, and Space Crusader. Originally I was going to go with both, have one of those little ~ things in between, but I decided that Space Crusader, while it fit the vibe of the song, didn’t really fit the vibe of Caliborn, so I dropped it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Predomination Artist: Kal-la-kal-la Track Art: Monckat -Duration: 4:13 +Duration: '4:13' References: - Voidlight - Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) @@ -1025,46 +1056,45 @@ Samples: Art Tags: - Lord English - Calliope -- cw: blood +- 'cw: blood' URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/predomination -Commentary: - Monckat: - Calliope alone, haunted by visions of her other half’s future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Commentary: "Monckat:\nCalliope alone, haunted by visions of her other half’s\ + \ future.

I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like. The original is definitely the better version of the song in the long run, though. Makin: This amazing redux version of the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Colours and Mayhem: Universe A]] track was hidden away in the musician’s bandcamp, known to few.

Originally, I started out with the intention to do a remastered and updated version of my track “[[The Puppetmaster]]” from our previous release [[album:friendsymphony|Friendsymphony]], but slowly, I came to realize that the remaster kind of sucked, and all traces of it were eventually wiped from this track. The intro (can you call it in intro if it’s more than half the song?) came to me about half a year after the main body of the song, it was the first thing I ever recorded vocals for, and may well be the last. Not much point in putting lyrics down though, cause all they are is “ooOOOOooo”. I was listening to a lot of Colin Stetson’s music during the time I made it so that probably played some influence in it. Then another half year after that I replaced the main body of the song too, because after listening to it with fresh ears, it was kind of a discordant mess. I kept the original idea behind [[The Puppetmaster]], a distorted mix of [[WORST END|Worst End]] and [[English]], but that’s about it.

I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like.

A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date. Had it stuck in my head for months. Cleaned up the mixing over the next little while, and the rest is history. I had two names for it for a while, Teeth and Blood, and Space Crusader. Originally I was going to go with both, have one of those little ~ things in between, but I decided that Space Crusader, while it fit the vibe of the song, didn’t really fit the vibe of Caliborn, so I dropped it.

While I had a lot of fun making that album, over the years I've come to regard its composition and instrumentation as somewhat amateurish; I was still rather new to Famitracker, the software I used to make all those songs. While I had at one point wanted to remake the entire album using the chiptune skills I know today, the only song I ever ended up remaking was "[[Madame Controversielle]]", the album's song for Vriska. The remake was put on the CANMT album "troleplanet", and the reasoning behind its title was simply to take the original one and slap a 2 on it! So yes, there is indeed a Madame Controversielle 1, but I really don't get why you would want to listen to it over this version. Gryotharian: I’m not sure about how this one turned out. All the chiptune and vriska definitely made me think of like, a retro game player select screen, so I went back to my old pixel art style, and tried to fill it with the most vriska that vriska could vriska.

Which is why it’s always driven me slightly mad that said melody only appears in the first 45 seconds and never returns. And while the rest of the track is wonderful in its own right, it’s never stuck in my brain quite as much. So the idea with this track was to attempt in my own flawed way to extend those first 45 seconds into a full track, and for the most part the way I chose to do that was to work in pieces of [[The Thirteenth Hour]] (along with adding in some original stuff). Hope you guys like it! The title is in reference to a baker’s dozen (13), which alludes to the use of [[The Thirteenth Hour]]. The teal and purple orbs are intended to be the orb things Alt Calliope uses to create the black hole in Act 7. My little headcanon for those orbs is that they're genesis frog frogspawn, basically embryonic universes. The idea being that since it took two universes to create the Green Sun, perhaps it takes three to destroy it. -Cover Artists: -- Monckat -Referenced Tracks: -- The Lyrist -- The Thirteenth Hour --- Track: PAST FUNK IS WORSE THAN FUTURE FUNK Artist: Koba Duration: '2:19' -Art Tags: -- Karkat URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/past-funk-is-worse-than-future-funk +Cover Artists: +- cloudie +Art Tags: +- Karkat +Referenced Tracks: +- saoidfisd +Sampled Tracks: +- saoidfisd +- HEY MAN VOLUME 10 MAN HEY CHECK IT OUT +- feeling right +- Love Taste Lyrics: |- (THAT BOX RIGHT THERE UH, CLICK IT I'M KARKAT Y-YOUR FAVORITE- I'M-I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER OF HOMESTUCK I C- I CREATED HOMESTUCK I'M UNDERTALE MY NAME IS KARKAT LISTEN, TO THIS-) @@ -1029,33 +1038,17 @@ Commentary: |- sleep peacefully, my beloved witch, karkatrice cloudie: what’s a homestuck -Cover Artists: -- cloudie -Referenced Tracks: -- saoidfisd -Sampled Tracks: -- saoidfisd -- HEY MAN VOLUME 10 MAN HEY CHECK IT OUT -- feeling right -- Love Taste --- Track: Infinite Zest Artist: Noisemaker Duration: '6:00' -Art Tags: -- Jade -- WV URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/infinite-zest -Lyrics: '[Mayor Maynot samples set to Megalovania]' -Commentary: "Makin:\nOriginally known as “you have got to be SHITTONG me (temp\ - \ title)”.

I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like. The original is definitely the better version of the song in the long run, though. Makin: This amazing redux version of the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Colours and Mayhem: Universe A]] track was hidden away in the musician’s bandcamp, known to few.

A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date. Had it stuck in my head for months. Cleaned up the mixing over the next little while, and the rest is history. I had two names for it for a while, Teeth and Blood, and Space Crusader. Originally I was going to go with both, have one of those little ~ things in between, but I decided that Space Crusader, while it fit the vibe of the song, didn’t really fit the vibe of Caliborn, so I dropped it. --- Track: Predomination -Artist: Kal-la-kal-la +Artists: +- Kal-la-kal-la Duration: '4:13' URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/predomination @@ -1123,7 +1173,8 @@ Commentary: "Monckat:\nCalliope alone, haunted by visions of her other ha \ future.

While I had a lot of fun making that album, over the years I've come to regard its composition and instrumentation as somewhat amateurish; I was still rather new to Famitracker, the software I used to make all those songs. While I had at one point wanted to remake the entire album using the chiptune skills I know today, the only song I ever ended up remaking was "[[Madame Controversielle]]", the album's song for Vriska. The remake was put on the CANMT album "troleplanet", and the reasoning behind its title was simply to take the original one and slap a 2 on it! So yes, there is indeed a Madame Controversielle 1, but I really don't get why you would want to listen to it over this version. Gryotharian: I’m not sure about how this one turned out. All the chiptune and vriska definitely made me think of like, a retro game player select screen, so I went back to my old pixel art style, and tried to fill it with the most vriska that vriska could vriska. But it had been a while since I was working with plain pixel art again, and that probably shows. @@ -1619,7 +1619,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Exploring the Depths of Sburb Commentary: |- Makin: - This track art actually depicts Rose in her Lord of Space outfit from Cool and New Web Comic, since this track originates there.
