As you’re probably aware, this song was done in collaboration with [[artist:witchs-cadence|Cass Preston aka Witch’s Cadence]]. However, unlike my other collabs with other people, Deconstruction is primarily Cass’s production and arrangement while I composed [[track:deconstruction-visions-of-a-future-untold-original-loop|the original song]] that served as the basis for the track. When I was writing songs for VE in 2025, I was in the throes of relistening to the whole Homestuck soundtrack and got curious about the process music team members went through in arranging [[artist:buzinkai|Buzinkai’s]] tracks for albums. This curiosity then led me to try and do something similar where I would write a short song loop and have someone else arrange it into a full song. I thought to most accurately recreate the process, that I would start by writing something using PxTone. If you read the commentary for [[Blood Packt]], the initial loop of Deconstruction followed a similar workflow. I started by composing a midi version of the song in FL Studio using the OrgMaker soundfont that contains the sounds used in the original release of CaveStory. I did this not only so I could accurately recreate the sound in FL but to make the transcription process in PxTone easier. After I finished the loop, I then sent the midi of it to Cass for her to arrange and produce while I transcribed the midi version into PxTone. I think the only thing that changed from the MIDI version of this song was that I lowered the song down a key in the version you hear on the album. Honestly, I don’t have much to say about the arrangement other than it being fantastic. Cass really elevating the song to a new level of grandness and intensity that I really couldn’t have imagined. + So, Deconstruction is the newest of the tracks I did for Volume 6 and one with an interesting history.
