This is actually a recreation of an old piano melody I made a while back, so redoing the chords was pretty rad. --- Track: Miasmic Decay Artists: - Rowyn Berlan Duration: 3:34 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvmxWizEJNM Cover Artists: - animmania Art Tags: - Dirk - LoTaK Commentary: |- Rowyn Berlan: (composer, booklet commentary) This song was basically made out of my love for the Alpha kids planets, this one in particular was supposed to be a kinda chill theme for the Land of Tombs and Krypton. The version you hear on the album took several hours as I was very critical and indecisive about what I was writing. In the end I'm proud of what's here but one day I'd like to revisit the song and hopefully fix the parts I was super unsure about. --- Track: Versus Remix Artists: - Michael Frank Duration: 1:12 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af2eRFDo4jY Cover Artists: - Knil Art Tags: - Dave - Dave's bro - Earth Referenced Tracks: - Versus - Spider's Claw Commentary: |- Michael Frank: (composer, booklet commentary) This was initially going to be a recreation, utilizing the Secret of Mana soundfont used in the original song. I decided to try out some of the same instruments used in [[track:stronger-monsters]] (from [[album:undertale-soundtrack|Undertale]]) as well, which at that point I thought "what the heck, let's just make a full-on remix of this". Fun fact: I was initially following along [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]]' [Versus recreation video on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYfZBrReslY), before I knew who he was. --- Track: This Baby's Timeless! Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 2:12 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXSj_gIVkEY Cover Artists: - wumby Referenced Tracks: - Miasmic Decay Lyrics: |- ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO... roughly one million babies were born in the united states alone one of these babies looked like tensei from the homestuck music team this is the story about that his name CHRIS Commentary: |- Pascal van den Bos: (composer, booklet commentary) I made this song as a birthday gift to [[artist:rowyn-berlan|TimelessHeir]], i wanted to kind of parody [[album:the-baby-is-you|"The Baby is You"]] since we had just finished ["The Baby is STLaP2"](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqi0iMdsva_wMBDC1dZgYmg--sJgtXtmG) and it seemed funny to me to make that for them. The only song I referenced was [[track:miasmic-decay|"Miasmic Decay"]] because Timeless made it and that would make the song still fit in the album because it's still a remix of a song in the album. Also DVS-Saxophone is the best instrument, change my mind. --- Track: Prismatic Season Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 4:51 Cover Artists: - MarbleMint --- Track: Rough and Jungle Artists: - Caldw3ll Duration: 2:10 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: Gale Force Winds Artists: - Frost Carter Duration: 2:51 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: Chill Out (Strider Style) Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 3:20 Cover Artists: - Knil Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Celestic Aviators Artists: - Caelan Kier Duration: 3:56 Cover Artists: - animmania --- Track: Moonstruck (Vinyl) Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 3:18 Cover Artists: - Sketchoodles --- Track: Fireflies and Clockwork Cover Art File Extension: jpg Artists: - apatheticPianist Duration: 2:53 Cover Artists: - doctorcorby --- Track: Distortion Navigator Artists: - Caelan Kier Duration: 4:14 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y-MXug_oA4 Cover Artists: - starcrossedAnalyst Art Tags: - Sollux - 'cw: blood' Commentary: Caelan Kier: (composer, booklet commentary) So this was made back when [[album:alternate-hues-and-melodies|AHaM]] was being made, pretty close to it being released the guy who was making the Sollux song didn't finish it for reasons I can't be bothered remembering, and since the position for the Sollux song was open I was like "damn I wanna do the Sollux song because Sollux is cool". So I made the first melody you hear in Distortion Navigator, but before I could do anymore we had to release the album like right then and there, so I didn't get to finish it. Then I just turned it int othe full Sollux song I wanted back then and released it here on STLaP 2 instead. --- Track: Thread the Needle Artists: - Frost Carter Duration: 2:15 Cover Artists: - artist:cookie-josh --- Track: Rebirth without Elegance, True is Resolve; Young is the GAME Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 9:10 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYpA6W91uIs Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles Commentary: |- Beau Brian: (composer, booklet commentary) A requiem for those not lucky enough to surv<\i<\e Sburb. One cannot keep a gentle touch and sur<\i<\e. Rebirth, vvwithout elegance. They must steel themsel<\es, and knovv vvhat to do; vvhy to do it. True is resol<\e. After all, the game is young. R.E.T.R.Y. GAME. The length is actually a bit of an accident on my end. Sometimes there are just so many inter<\als and melodies that need their part, and each one of those need *some* kind of transition. Not sure if it shovvs or not, but this is certainly the track I vvorked hardest on, and ironically I made my longest track at a point vvhere vve had no more room on the album! --- Section: Disc 2 --- Track: ~~Disc 2~~ Directory: disc2-stlap2 Artists: - Rowyn Berlan Duration: 0:34 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAbIrLkJQS8 Cover Artists: - Knil Commentary: |- Rowyn Berlan: (composer, booklet commentary) Got bored one day and wanted to write a quick little song that turned into Disc 2... that's pretty much it lmao --- Track: Insurrection Directory: insurrection-stlap2 Artists: - Caelan Kier Duration: 4:04 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2sQq7lciCI Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles Art Tags: - Jade - Becquerel - Frog Temple - Earth Referenced Tracks: - track:mutiny Commentary: |- Caelan Kier: (composer, booklet commentary) I remember like thinking that [my Mutiny remix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3znbbnDOChY) could be totally better, so like I only made this a while after that was uploaded (that's why it sounds so much like my old stuff). I didn't even plan for the song to be said remix, I was just bored in FL Studio and placed down the [[track:mutiny]] melody in there and somehow just kept going until it turned into a full song. I was gonna put it in [[album:stable-time-loops-and-paradoxes|STLaP 1]], but then didn't because there was already a [[track:fetch-the-bullet|Mutiny remix]], so first chance I got I dunked it into STLaP 2. --- Track: Lust Directory: lust-stlap2 Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 4:03 Cover Artists: - seacode Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Candlelit Contemplation Duration: 3:37 Artists: - Rowyn Berlan Cover Artists: - Naturestormz Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: CITH - Beatdown (Strider in the House) Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Contributors: - Michael Parker (Dave) - QuantumBun (Vriska) Duration: 1:00 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEIhetsdJzA Cover Artists: - Kiddlescribbles Art Tags: - Earth Referenced Tracks: - Cory in the House (Theme Song) - Beatdown (Strider Style) - Versus - Upward Movement (Dave Owns) Lyrics: |- [Dave]: Woo!

I started this song months before I joined [[group:the-paradox-music-team|the PMT]] and I remember doing it out of boredom. I wanted to make remix a song the no one had done before, so I decided to remix the first half of the unreleased song [[track:jadesprite|"Jadesprite."]] The original demo of the song was like 30 seconds long and wasn't very good imo. Joining the team gave me the impetus I needed to expand upon my original demo and finish the song. Of my remixes, this one is probably my favorite. --- Track: Davesprite 3 Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 3:24 Cover Artists: - diolis Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Between Mediums Artists: - Rainy Duration: 3:24 Cover Artists: - Knil --- Track: Lovely and Saccharine Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 2:10 Cover Artists: - Camelote Cover Art File Extension: jpg Commentary: |- The Paradox Music Team: ([Bandcamp about blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20220317221220/https://pascalpotatovandenbos.bandcamp.com/track/lovely-and-saccharine)) For the fantroll Ilenah Helpin by: Doodlele on HSA --- Track: Black - Electro Swing Remix Artists: - Spad3s Duration: 2:55 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles Referenced Tracks: - Black --- Track: An Orange-Blue Rose Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 3:26 Cover Artists: - Phos Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Artificial Extortion Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 3:02 Cover Artists: - Knil --- Track: Cascading Towards the End Artists: - Rainy Duration: 3:17 Cover Artists: - Knil Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Land of the Sharpest Shale Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 2:57 Cover Artists: - animmania Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Section: Disc 3 --- Track: ~~Disc 3~~ Directory: disc3-stlap2 Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 0:33 Cover Artists: - animmania --- Track: Moonlight Waltz Artists: - Asian Duration: 2:39 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: Windsong Artists: - Rowyn Berlan Duration: 2:17 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: At the Strike of Three Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 5:22 Cover Artists: - doctorcorby Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Vaporsecata - ベーパセタ Directory: vaporsecata Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 4:05 Cover Artists: - Hilaletto --- Track: Latum Alterum Artists: - Beau Brian Duration: 2:53 Cover Artists: - starcrossedAnalyst --- Track: Troublemaker Tango Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 4:13 Cover Artists: - wumby --- Track: More Than a Game Artists: - Frost Carter Duration: 1:50 Cover Artists: - siedlag Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: Black (Cucumber Quest) Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 1:50 Cover Artists: - Knil --- Track: Learning to Stack-Modus Artists: - Caldw3ll Duration: 2:52 Cover Artists: - Cup Cover Art File Extension: jpg --- Track: I Warned You About the Elevator Bro Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 3:21 Cover Artists: - wumby Commentary: |- The Paradox Music Team: ([Bandcamp about blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20220317221227/https://pascalpotatovandenbos.bandcamp.com/track/i-warned-you-about-the-elevator-bro)) For the OC Vilros Safron by: Vilros Safron on HSA --- Track: Threxecute Artists: - Rainy Duration: 3:32 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: Windwielder Additional Names: - Wind Wielder (booklet name) Artists: - Caelan Kier Duration: 4:35 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwwOH0qy9o Cover Artists: - starcrossedAnalyst Cover Art File Extension: jpg Art Tags: - John - Rose - Dave - Jade - LoLaR - LoHaC - LoFaF - 'cw: blood' Referenced Tracks: - Doctor Commentary: |- Caelan Kier: (composer, booklet commentary) Honestly I don't have much to say about this, I don't remember starting this song, I guess I just put down some drums and then put down some synths and then put down some samples and then boom it's a song now. --- Track: Turntables Directory: turntables-stlap2 Artists: - Asian Duration: 1:33 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles --- Track: Wish Upon a Firefly Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 1:58 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci2t1GrCbos Cover Artists: - citriare Art Tags: - Consorts - LoWaS Referenced Tracks: - Doctor Commentary: |- The Paradox Music Team: ([Bandcamp about blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20220317221229/https://pascalpotatovandenbos.bandcamp.com/track/wish-upon-a-firefly)) Rest in Peace, [[artist:buzinkai|Usagi Buzinkai]].

I tried making it a more upbeat hero version of Doctor.

About ten days ago (lol) I said, "OK, let's go4it!" and gave it a shot. The result is something I have put off, like getting back into music. Thanks PotatoBoss, he's rad and a gracious manager to a [[group:the-paradox-music-team|bright group of musicians and artists]] I've been welcomed to create with. Homestuck takes me back and the ones who still love it pushed me forward <\3. --- Track: Ascend x10 Combo Artists: - Pascal van den Bos Duration: 2:39 Cover Artists: - doctorcorby --- Track: A Happy Ending Artists: - Rainy Duration: 10:34 URLs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsg9sPO4Kl4 Cover Artists: - KiddleScribbles Art Tags: - John - Rose - Dave - Jade - Earth Referenced Tracks: - track:mother - Crystalanthemums - Candles and Clockwork - track:endless-climb - Clockwork Apocalypse - track:doctor Commentary: |- Rainy: (composer, booklet commentary) This song's commentary is going to get a little serious. After doing [[track:spritely-gardener]], I wanted to do another song for the album. I had a bunch of stuff started but I just never had the energy to finish them. One of the ideas was a massive multi movement homestuck medley referencing all the beta kids' land theme. But like the other WIPs, I couldn't bring myself to work on it more. This went on until some time in early November. In November, I learned that [[artist:buzinkai|[Usagi] Buzinkai]], Creator of homestuck songs like [[track:doctor|"Doctor"]] and [[track:endless-climb|"Endless Climb"]], had passed away. I was felt a profound sense of grief at her death. Some time passed, and I wanted to do something to commemorate her memory. So I decided to give my old project file another shot and that how "A Happy Ending" was created. I wanted to create something that embodied how much Homestuck and it's musicians meant to me. Is it perfect? No, it has a lot of issues and is overly long (Sorry [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|Pb]]). But I think it is something conveys the monumental impact that homestuck had on my life. --- Section: Bonus tracks --- Track: Caring, Compassion, Kindness. The 3 Elements of SALE!

I of course say yes B) So we recorded it and i asked Rowyn if we needed a song for the background music, they said yes so i decided to remix [[track:passionate-duelists|Passionate Duelist]] from Yu-Gi-Oh. I tried to make it some sort of F-Zero GX style track.... So yeah a shitpost that's what this is. Rowyn Berlan: (album help, booklet commentary) This song is so emotional it had me on the floor in tears 10/10... anyway this is for some meme video I made which you can check out on the pmt youtube (4kids hates "creativity").
