Andrew Hussie: ([MSPA news post](https://web.archive.org/web/20091217082112/http://www.mspaintadventures.com:80/?game=autosave&s=6&p=002906)) Annnnd volumes 2 and 3 are up. [[album:homestuck-vol-2|That was fast.]] Huge, ridiculous megaprops to [[artist:cindy-dominguez|Cindy]] for coordinating all this album stuff for me. It just wasn't happening otherwise. You might think we were dogging this release for a long time, but it really did take this long to get it all together, rounding up final mixes from [the crew](https://web.archive.org/web/20100113031120/http://mspaintadventures.com/soundcredits.html), reformatting chores and stuff. And a reminder: when you buy these songs the artists get the monies, so you're saying THANKS DUDES with your dollars.

The soundfont is actually a FF6 SNES font I found somewhere (At lot of people got it from the choir). The SNES soundfont choice was taken from a kind of natural evolution the music was taking from the earlier Vol 1 8-bi to 16-bit style music. Not much to say on this one except it was quite a stereotypical 'Epic' boss battle theme - Choirs, church organs, bells, guitar and fast drums. --- Track: Beatdown Round 2 Bandcamp Track ID: 3987633265 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a3547713527 Artists: - Curt Blakeslee Art Tags: - Dave - Dave's bro Duration: '2:27' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-round-2-3 - https://youtu.be/CuQpu45cmtw Referenced Tracks: - Beatdown (Strider Style) Sheet Music Files: - Title: Sheet music by Gamehunter Files: - 'Beatdown (Strider Style) - Gamehunter.pdf' --- Track: Dissension (Original) Additional Names: - Dissension (earlier MSPA credit) Bandcamp Track ID: 669270917 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a3935691051 Artists: - David Ko Art Tags: - Jade - Jade's grandpa Duration: '1:47' MIDI Project Files: - Title: MIDI by Unknown Files: - 'Dissension (Original) - Unknown.mid' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dissension-original-3 - https://youtu.be/az71j7AvBuQ --- Track: Dissension (Remix) Bandcamp Track ID: 3908511167 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a3617756702 Artists: - David Ko Art Tags: - Jade - Jade's grandpa Duration: '2:03' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dissension-remix-3 - https://youtu.be/mkPXt83h73w Referenced Tracks: - Dissension (Original) --- Track: Ohgodwhat Bandcamp Track ID: 1479138878 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a2527183767 Artists: - Nick Smalley Duration: '1:06' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ohgodwhat-3 - https://youtu.be/eX3QCmtmt4E MIDI Project Files: - Title: MIDI by IronInvoker47 Files: - 'Ohgodwhat - IronInvoker47.mid' Commentary: |- Nick Smalley: (via [early commentary collection](https://hsmusic.wiki/media/misc/commentary-collection.txt)) WELL It was 2008 and I was a silly little boy and thought ORGMaker was good-ass music program, so I decided to make a song in it. Half an hour later forged this booger of a song. Seriously. It took half an hour to make this. Then I saw that [[artist:andrew-hussie|THE HUSS]] posted something about a Problem Sleuth opening? So I was like damn that's bananas I'll show him up! (wow look at this nerd thinking he can actually make music) I sent it to his email and like a day later he sent one back asking about the music team. FLATTERING, IT WAS. So I was like sure sign me up g homey dog slice foo And that's the story of how I got on the music team. Oh wait. You just wanted Ohgodwhat. (ps that's what it was called when i made it too) --- Track: Ohgodwhat Remix Bandcamp Track ID: 3363108771 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a1893067780 Artists: - Michael Guy Bowman Duration: '1:05' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ohgodwhat-remix-3 - https://youtu.be/ZuaMHCPnqOc Referenced Tracks: - Ohgodwhat MIDI Project Files: - Title: MIDI by Unknown Files: - 'Ohgodwhat Remix - Unknown.mid' Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: (arranger, from [Music and Stuff](https://web.archive.org/web/20110326020456/http://www.iambowman.com/music.html)) The remix of Nick's [[track:ohgodwhat|"Ohgodwhat"]] is a terrifying little affair - that I even made it mystifies me. Michael Guy Bowman: ([Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music](https://youtu.be/85VXWZTg-vo?t=751), adapted to text, 7/20/2024) [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew]] did us a little favor around that time, by creating interactive elements that he could use to include otherwise unused music. So first, there was [[flash:338|Dave's beat maker]], and then later [[flash:830|the FreshJamz player]], where I had mixed [[Ohgodwhat]] done as a remix with all kinds of goofy stuff added on. --- Track: Rediscover Fusion Bandcamp Track ID: 2051130741 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a0046674500 Additional Names: - RS5 (as [[track:rs5-trancestep-mix|remixed]] on [[album:exile]]) Artists: - BurnedKirby Duration: '1:36' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rediscover-fusion-3 - https://youtu.be/5j7mzL-ctNo Commentary: |- BurnedKirby: ([SoundCloud, on another track...](https://soundcloud.com/burnedkirby/electric-dream), 9/8/2012) > BurnedKirby, I really like your stuff, especially Rediscover Fusion; it's one of my favorite songs on [[album:homestuck-vol-1-4|Homestuck Volumes 1-4]]. I'm surprised there aren't a ton of Homestuck fans that are following you just because you made one song for the soundtrack 2 1/2 years ago :P Ah, thanks! Part of it is probably my being not too active in writing music. Another may be that they haven't accepted any song since that one, for Homestuck, but it happens. Thanks for following as well, as it means a lot to me. --- Track: Rediscover Fusion Remix Bandcamp Track ID: 597158703 # No longer available, can't be embedded Artists: - Bill Bolin Duration: '2:05' URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBOrrAq_Qv0 - https://archive.org/download/exile-pinkushion/17%20RS5%20%28Trancestep%20Mix%29.mp3 Referenced Tracks: - Rediscover Fusion --- Track: Explore Remix Bandcamp Track ID: 1439898196 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a3323517644 Artists: - Gabriel Nezovic Duration: '2:00' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/explore-remix-3 - https://youtu.be/06qu70cLPaE Referenced Tracks: - Explore Sampled Tracks: - Explore --- Track: Chorale for Jaspers Bandcamp Track ID: 1067169216 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a1438126688 Artists: - Michael Guy Bowman Art Tags: - Rose - Rose's mom Duration: '1:15' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chorale-for-jaspers-3 - https://youtu.be/YkSq79X6MAw Sheet Music Files: - Title: Sheet music by Zephyr Files: - 'Chorale for Jaspers - Zephyr.pdf' Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, from [Music and Stuff](https://web.archive.org/web/20110326020456/http://www.iambowman.com/music.html)) My signature efforts from this album, of course, are "Chorale for Jaspers" and its corollary (or chorale-ary?) [[track:pony-chorale|"Pony Chorale"]]. They were the first two Homestuck tracks to feature vocals with me as the cat and [[artist:tavia-morra|Tavia]] as Maplehoof - for this I am proud. Michael Guy Bowman: ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/mguybowman/status/1669411378359328771), 6/15/2023) Got a message asking if "Chorale for Jaspers" is based on ["Time Is Running Out"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URYhXY5R0rQ) by Muse and now I cannot unhear it. Michael Guy Bowman: ([Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music](https://youtu.be/85VXWZTg-vo?t=770), adapted to text, 7/20/2024) Oh, the Chorale for Jaspers - I don't know if it's a perfect chorale, but I did draw a little bit from basic music theory classes I took in high school, to make something that's, you know, got a little bit of a shared four-part thing, in like a pseudo-Bach kind of style. I think I might have broken the harmony a little bit with the descending meows on that. I did break one taboo that we had established, real early on, which was that there were going to be no voices in the comic. There was going to be no person doing any of the character voices, there was going to be no singing, and - right away - I managed to just do something stupid enough that [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew]] took it and ran with it and made a big exception for me. --- Track: Pony Chorale Bandcamp Track ID: 1771864197 Bandcamp Artwork ID: a3302588076 Artists: - Michael Guy Bowman Contributors: - Tavia Morra (vocals) Art Tags: - John Duration: '1:03' URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pony-chorale-3 - https://youtu.be/MHsZHFb5FqU Referenced Tracks: - Chorale for Jaspers MIDI Project Files: - Title: MIDI by Unknown Files: - 'Pony Chorale - Unknown.mid' - Title: MIDI by Unknown (piano solo) Files: - 'Pony Chorale - Unknown (piano solo).mid' - Title: MIDI by Twix Stix (from Sburbmon) Files: - 'Pony Chorale - Twix Stix.mid' Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, from [Music and Stuff](https://web.archive.org/web/20110326020456/http://www.iambowman.com/music.html)) My signature efforts from this album, of course, are [[track:chorale-for-jaspers|"Chorale for Jaspers"]] and its corollary (or chorale-ary?)

Michael Guy Bowman: ([Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music](https://youtu.be/85VXWZTg-vo?t=770), adapted to text, 7/20/2024) And of course, on Pony Chorale, the little [[flash:pony|secret page]] where Rose is riding on Maplehoof I guess, we snuck in a little "neigh" in there as well. I was a big fan of KC Green and [Gunshow](https://gunshowcomic.com), that was another webcomic that was going at the time, and I remember going to an independent press expo in Austin that was called "Staple!". KC Green happened to be there; I don't know if he was promoting anything, or if he was just hanging out. I touched base with him briefly and he said that was his *favorite* thing from Homestuck, which, uh, I'll feel free to brag about, because... y'know. I loved that comic when it came out, and I can't believe he was, like, that into the pony music. (laugh)
