Scratch was my foray into writing music for a villain, and I had a great time working on it. I remember that it was right around Halloween when it was finished. Good timing. I had always wondered what a boss fight-style remix of Scratch would sound like, and now I think I have a pretty good idea. I think this is actually the first work of mine that has been fan-remixed too. This was fun to wake up to. +Referencing Sources: |- + Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor, 8/24/2025) + + Sources are somewhat divided on whether or not this track references [[track:the-final-battle-super-mario-64]]. Without special context people tend to call the claim, which was (before this wiki) [chronicled in NSND](https://homestuck.net/music/references.html), probably bullshit: both tracks certainly derive from [[track:toccata-and-fugue-in-d-minor]], and any other similarities may be superficial or unclear! + + Note that although Scratch and The Final Battle (the SM64 track) both begin with a long held tone, and Toccata doesn't... Scratch's intro directly quotes right *after* Toccata's intro, around 0:54 there. + + However, 1:52 in Scratch and 0:41 in The Final Battle (the SM64 track) are pretty markedly similar. For that reason we're currently keeping the reference. + + (See [#references-roundup](https://discord.com/channels/749042497610842152/1353743089164095548/1409318734635597916), [[date:8/24/2025]], for the backing conversation.) --- Track: Omelette Sandwich Artists: -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5
