SplitSuns:
...When the hell did I get 100 followers?? I give my thanks to all of you for listening to my shitty music, haha.
This is one of my tracks for the CaNMT's almost-vaporware all-vaporwave album, CANWAVE 3. In its current iteration it's a take on 2814's sample-free approach to the vapor aesthetic through ambient and techno albums such as 新しい日の誕生 and Rain Temple. It's one of my most complex songs yet and it took a lot of work to make, but the end result is something very awe-inspiring, even to me.
(Originally this song was a straight-up cover of Voidlight that was much more laid-back and repetitive, but I scrapped it in favor of this version. Maybe I'll upload that old version somewhere along the line.)

Lyrics: |-
A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS AGO...
far in the depths of paradox space
a new lifeform is about to be created
one whose origin is as enigmatic as the glimmer of a musclebeast's teat
some are carried in by storks
some are recreated from paradox slime
others appear wet out of their best friend's magical nonexistant vagina
but regardless of how these beings may be formed
they all come into the world with a special force:
one called
LOVE
this is the story of one man's search for love and truth
in a universe forgotten by time
the story of those fearful creatures
those that we call
BABIES

Commentary: |-
Tensei:
The original release version of this song had been mastered at a fairly low volume level in order to match the other songs on the Alterniabound album. I felt that a bouncy electronica song like this warranted a lot more volume and dynamic range compression though, so this version is the song as I had originally intended it. The difference might not be all that noticeable unless you're comparing the versions side by side.

DEBUNK
The last of my three entries to the Homestuck Music Contest, the other two being [[Guns Blazing]] and [[Vodka Mutiny]].
A song for Kanaya, this song is - in my opinion - the weakest contender of the lot. Daywalker nonetheless marks my first attempt at using real audio in a song - I recorded the flute performance myself. Unfortunately, my playing, recording, and production are definitely not up to snuff, honestly. Given that it was recorded with a terrible laptop mic, with a player who hadn't played in a long while (me), I suppose that was honestly no surprise.
However, I love both the harp and flute melodies in this song. It was a blast to play, and I'd definitely think about using them again at some point in the future.

Lyrics: >-
Yo.
I was out for awhile, cuz the red miles, Squarewave, get inside my sylladex,
Gotta
fix shit now with a freestyle, my team's a mess, and it's all up to reflex,
Shit's
kinda typical, but this'll be mighty difficult, cuz additional syllables.
Got
a long road to hoe so let's go, now, acro-batic. fuck-ing. pi-rou-ette.
C'mon
I gotta go faster,
Yo, I'm a blur, colored alabaster
Got that crockercorp
sendificator,
Absurd, I'm like my own flight simulator.
Zoom. Speedyquick
like my diction.
Do flips and shit, I'm twistin'
Don't even care who's list'nin',
Brace
for impact, I'm liftin'
off. And I'm not even sweaty.
Though if I were,
what I'd need'd be a towel.
Hey, yo, Sawtooth are you ready?
Here comes
a cruxite dowel.
(Nice catch!)
Did I mention that I did this cause I gotta
build speed,
I'm relentless, gotta penchant, gotta mighty need,
like an
engine, end of sentence; cool re-entrance.
Yes. Fuck yes. Hell fucking yes.
Oh
damn, A dead Roxy, sans grave,
Yo, Squarewave, take care of this place.
Now
I know it's odd, but I gotta snog, so go ahead and say it. (YEAH DOGG!)
Dude.
That's hella gay. But hey, I can't complain, cuz the rogue is awake,
That's
one down, two to go, or one if Roxy finds a way to partake.
She won't. She's
straight.
Fuck it, gotta move, Squarewave, see ya later.
Runnin' out of
time, livin' on a prayer, got my
Bucket and my crockercorp sendificator,
Now
as they say it's all gone pear shaped,
there's no other way, so decapatat-
-tion
is my escape, goodbye Squarewave, じゃあまたね (ja mata ne (see you later)).
Yo.
I'm back. Did I miss shit? No I didn't, this attempt is kinda pathetic.
Doof,
bitch, out the way, Daddy Dirk is taking care of liplocking with Jane.
Looks
like everything is okay, one step left and we're headed to Jake,
Ya better
hold on, because this thing is so fast holy shit I'm cool.
Did I tell you how
cool I am? Cuz I'm so fucking awesome.
GRAB. ON. TO MY FUCK-ING SKATE. BOARD.
I'M SO COOL, I SAVED THE DAY, YOU'RE WELCOME,
WATCH THIS COOL SHIT THAT I SET
UP EARLIER, IT'S NO BIG DEAL
WAIT I LIED IT'S ACTUALLY THE COOLEST THING EVER!
Sup.

Clark Powell:
I have recut and remastered my track Flare, as it was presented to you in the Cascade flash (rather than the calmed-down album version). I get asked a lot for this, so I decided to give it some extra love and attention.
I have attempted a number of times to put together a mix of Flare that utilized the distinctive crescendo that is recognizable from Cascade, but it never seems to work well without the cinematic context. The buildup sort of leads to nothing, and then the track either ends awkwardly or fades out, and I have something personal against fade-outs. Maybe I’ll talk about that someday. But not now.
I gave it another go, this time trying a decrescendo to bring the song back down from all the energy it riles up, then ending it on kind of a creepy note. I had more success here than I ever have in past attempts to cut the song together in this way.
Flare was a pretty big hit in its own right, so there’s always the pressure coming from the responsibility to handle this properly. I hope you enjoy it!

(Four, tres, two, uno) Four, three, two, fuck you
Listen up y'all, this shit is ironic
Strider's beats are best suited to trolls hooked on phonics!
Karkalicious definition, makes Terezi loco
She wants to know the secrets that she can't taste in my photo
Dyin' just to know the flavor, I ain't doin' HER no favors
No reasons why I tease her flush just comes and goes like seasons
I'm Karkalicious (So delicious)
No I don't do kismesis
And if you read any fanfics
All that shit is fictitious
I blow kisses (Mwah!)
Don't matter if we're just moirails
Trolls be lining down the veil
For a chance to fill a pail (Four, three, two, fuck you)
So delicious (Super sweet)
So delicious (Fuckin' adorabloodthirsty)
So delicious (Even Egbert wants a piece of me)
I'm Karkalicious (Li-li-li-li-like candy, candy)
Karkalicious def-
Karkalicious def-
Goddammit, Doc Scratch stop fucking around with my mic-
Karkalicious definition, makes the shippers crazy
Nepeta's always squealing cutesy pet names like Karkitty
I'm the K to the A, R K the A the T
And the MAJORITY of pairings had better include me
I'm Karkalicious (So delicious)
My body stays vicious
All the highbloods feelin' nervous
'Cuz I'm doing some fitness
Zahhak's my witness
Bet that ship curls Nepeta's tail
And he'll be needing all the towels
'Cuz I'mma make him sweat pails (Four, three, two, fuck you)
So delicious (Super sweet)
So delicious (Fuckin' adorabloodthirsty)
So delicious (Even Egbert wants a piece of me)
I'm Karkalicious (Now you nooksuckers hold the fuck up! Check it out)
Baby, baby, baby
If you really want me
Honey get some patience
Maybe then you'll get a taste
I'll be tasty, tasty
I'll be laced with lacey
It's so tasty, tasty
It'll make you crazy
T to the A, to the S-T-E-Y fuckin' tasty
T to the A, to the S-T-E-Y fuckin' tasty
D to the E, to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S
To the D, to the E, to the, to the— I'll just spell it out for you!
All the time I turn around trolls gather round, always sniffin' at me wanna guess the color of my blood
I just wanna say it now I ain't trying to round up any drama, little fucker I just don't want you to know
And I guess I'm coming off as just a little insecure although I keep on repeating how the secret's fucking awesome
But I'm tryin' to tell, it's a secret that I just don't wanna tell
Terezi says I smell delicious (So delicious)
No I don't do kismesis
And if you read any fanfics
All that shit is fictitious
I blow kisses (Mwah!)
Don't matter if we're just moirails
Trolls be lining down the veil
For a chance to fill a pail
(Four, three, two, fuck you) My body stays vicious
Zahhak's been feeling nervous 'cuz I got down to business
Nepeta's my witness (Meow!) I'll even let her first ship sail
Just watch that kitten be the first in line to fill a pail
So delicious (Eridan, see)
So delicious (You can trust me)
So delicious (I'll help you be)
I'm Karkalicious (Li-li-li-like candy, candy)
It's so delicious (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
So delicious (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
So delicious (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
I'm Karkalicious (She says my blood is like candy, candy)

To the D to the E, to the— now wait just a motherfucking second!
(Do I seriously have to spell this shit until the very end of the song? I mean, whoever fucking wrote the original never had access to spellcheck I guess, because T-A-S-T-E-Y does not spell TASTY. Was this Fergie douchemuffin illiterate or something? What do you mean human rap artists are the only ones brave enough to write their own grammatical train wrecks and call it music? What the fuck even is Will Smith doing? He doesn't throw down sick fires anymore? Fuck this shit, I quit!)

Rustbloods, unite! Do not be content to keep your head down with this sax cover of [[artist:james-roach|James Roach]] & [[artist:toby-fox|Toby Fox]]'s "[[track:keep-your-head-down|Keep your head down]]" and "[[track:rustblood|Rustblood]]".
This cover story was surprisingly difficult to do. Hiveswap (the long awaited sidequest for the Homestuck series) is very new, so there's a real possibility of spoiling things -- and this is especially the case since there are folks who are already familiar with Homestuck and folks who are not.
This cover story could be like the prequel to the events of Hiveswap, maybe. Or at least, an imagining of something that could fit there.

Duration: '4:21'

Commentary: |-
Tensei:
I’ll have to do some explaining for this one: I’ve been messing around with vertically layered music composition, and wanted to do something with problem sleuth (that OTHER mspaint adventure). Feel free to skip my blathering below and just listen to the music though!
I always felt like PS was at least partially a callback to 90s point ‘n click adventure games along the lines of Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, Sam & Max, etc. so this song is intended to reflect that. If you imagine PS as a video game, this is the song that would play at the very start of the adventure while our heroes are messing around in their offices and getting caught up in all kinds of shenanigans.
Now, the nice thing about PS is that the three main characters (Problem Sleuth, Pickle Inspector and Ace Dick) all have some strong themes that make it easy to come up with appropriate musical motifs. In fact, the three musical instruments that appear fairly early in the comic ( A trumpet, a clarinet and a tuba) all are pretty obviously intended as metaphorical representations of the three heroes, which means that as a composer I have my work cut out for me.
The idea with vertical layering in this song is that depending on which of the protagonists is currently ‘on screen’, the theme uses different motifs and lead instruments: when more than one protagonist is on screen their motifs are played at the same time and combined. Normal playback methods don’t support this kind of interactive music (many game engines do, however), so this particular version is more of a proof of concept that just demonstrates the different layers and highlights how they interact.
The first section after the intro belongs to Problem Sleuth. He’s the leader of the bunch, and to reflect his mario-esque all-around average strength, his motif is played on a muted trumpet in the middle register with a combination of short and sustained notes.
After that we come to Ace Dick. His motif consists of short notes played on a tuba and backed by trombones and timpani to throw some appropriate weight around.
Pickle Inspector goes third with sustained notes played in the higher register of a clarinet. He’s a bit of a loopy character so there’s some glockenspiel and a lot of chroma… chromatics? chromaticity? to give it a bit of whimsy
The fourth loop combines the motifs of all three characters to demonstrate the interaction between layers when all three are present. The final loop is a variation on the Problem Sleuth motif with an added theremin and a delay effect on all the instruments to give it a ‘spacy’ sound: we’re entering the realm of imagination and the music becomes appropriately screwy.

I'm a little late for 6/12, I know, but I just finished some piano arrangements ([[Rags of Rust]], [[Teal Wings and Scales]], [[Violet Sea Breeze]]) of my tracks from [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a]]. I composed the originals back in January 2012--two and a half years ago! My, how time flies when you're having fun.
I have to thank my piano professor from last semester for these. No, I can't play these pieces live, not yet at least--but taking a piano course really improved my level of comfort and familiarity with composing for pianos. I just might make sheet music available, though!

Lyrics: |-
Greetings, useless peons
You've done terrible so far
Treading venom pools for eons
Suffering with no scar
Mercy everlasting
Hiding who you are
Welcome to the dark side
My name is Jack No...
Iiiiir!
I'm the overlord of badass
The shadow magic priest
Chosen ones cry out for mother
Of trouble you're the least!
I really hate these stupid hats
And that stupid king
That overarching monarch
Can shove something up his thing
(GRAVEYARD STUFFERS)
Oh yeah, they call me Jack Noir
You might think that I'm the star
When really there's a dad who makes me glad
I haven't had the pleasure, yes to treasure
This saturnine existence
'Tween these fenestrated walls
Goodbye, useless peons
You were horrible in life
Jumped off the galleon
'Thout so much as a Strife
[[track:archagent-everlasting|Archagent everlasting]]
I'll tear the sky ajar!
Goodnight everybody
My name is Jack- oh
My name is Spades- no!
My name is Jack Noir!
My name (My name is)
Jack Noir (Name is Jack)
(WHOP!)
Commentary: |-
Toby Fox:
I really wish I was better at singing homogenously hahahaha
Seriously considering a third person vocal arrangement for a jazz band
Also I didn't know noir wasn't two syllables so this song is kind of ruined for me hahaha
