Category: HSMusic Color: '#0088ff' --- Group: Official Discography Directory: official URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/music Featured Albums: - Homestuck Vol. 1-4 - Homestuck Vol. 10 - Beyond Canon - AlterniaBound - Homestuck Vol. 8 - Hiveswap Act 1 OST - 'coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A' - The Wanderers - Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido - Strife! - Genesis Frog - One Year Older Description: |- Homestuck's official music releases, comprising the canon foundational to and long inspiring its vibrant fan community.
Music was introduced into Homestuck soon after its 2009 launch, in contrast with previous MS Paint Adventures, and it rapidly became an iconic aspect of the story. Homestuck's music contributors flourished into a loose and diverse collective of artists, the Homestuck Music Team; official music albums were released via Bandcamp at a dizzying pace, whether in [[album:homestuck-vol-1|numbered volumes]], [[album:strife|solo efforts]], or [[album:alterniabound|themed compilations]]. Despite their cult success, the team fizzled out after the release of [[album:cherubim|Cherubim]] in 2013, with subsequent official releases mainly being concrete, contracted work for various spin-off efforts. On October 25th 2019, the official Bandcamp page was thoroughly restructured without warning, with albums being haphazardly combined into compilations. Unique track artwork was discarded and many albums were left completely unavailable. Currently, HSMusic presents these albums as they were originally released. --- Group: Fandom Featured Albums: - Land of Fans and Music 5 Act 2 - P[S] - Vinculum Vitae - Ophiuchus (Full Suite) - Cool and New Greatest Hits - album:jailbreak-vol-1 - Strife 2 - Vast Error Vol. 1-3 - Friendsim 2 - Volume 1 - Pantheon - Land of Fans and Music - Moons of Theseus Description: |- Albums created by the Homestuck fan community, released independently.
The fandom of Homestuck has been creating music since before Homestuck's own conception ([[track:problem-sleuth-theme|yes, really!]]); originally sharing music around the (now-defunct) MSPA Forums via Tindeck (also defunct), learning musicians would practice their skills writing tunes and sharing them with community members. Andrew Hussie would call for contributors to an official soundtrack for the comic (which would, of course, set the stage for Homestuck's [[site:flash/|revered Flash animations]]); musicians would share their work, and the best were picked to join a group known as the Homestuck Music Team. And all the while, fans kept writing, collaborating, and sharing their own music. The first album to find a distinctly unofficial album release was [[album:homestuck-for-the-holidays]]; it was a Christmas-themed album put together by members of the Homestuck Music Team, released to a new Bandcamp, [Homestuck Gaiden](https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/), on 25 December 2010. Half a year later, this would become the home for an altogether new idea, pioneered by [[artist:elaine-wang]]: the Homestuck fan-album. (That story is really hers to tell, and that she did in the introduction to the [[album:lofam]] booklet. Give it a visit!) With the ball now rolling, fan musicians were creating and collaborating more than ever before; now they weren't just making music for themselves and for each other, to be shared on only a single colossal forum thread - their music would have a home! The community grew ever stronger and larger from there, and the albums below are just a portion of the result. With a fair amount of luck, this wiki has come to be a second home for the albums we share; we encourage you to explore: delve deep, find yourself lost, and discover something new! --- Group: Beyond Featured Albums: - Psycholonials - Shortcuts - Oceanfalls Vol. 4 - Qualia - UNDERTALE Soundtrack - Songs of Rivervale - album:solar-sessions - Namesake - Gravity Makes The Flame Rise - CYBER CITY SOUND PAK - Paths - Triassic Slump Description: |- Albums from a musical landscape beyond Homestuck, by artists with roots in the comic's own community.
Countless artists together made an early abode in the community around Homestuck, expanding their sound as they shared their music with other artists and listeners alike; many, in turn, would put their experience into works beyond the webcomic. Some began personal discographies; some scored games and other new projects, finding followings altogether anew; some joined together, collaboratively creating in a spirit inspired by the comic community's own fan-groups. Each of these musicians found roots in Homestuck, in time branching out beyond; the albums in this area of the wiki are a small selection of what they've gone on to create. We encourage you to delve in and explore; every album is its own unique work, and many familiar faces await within! --- Group: Additional Tracks Description: |- Organizational "albums" for grouping tracks that have been referenced by other tracks or featured in flashes and games. Though these aren't real album releases, they contain lots of interesting music and media that have become part of Homestuck's musical landscape! --- Category: Fan-musician groups Color: '#ffec14' --- Group: Casual Sunday URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/ Description: |- "people who have made music by themselves and who are just now figuring out how to do it with other people.

When adding "all" the CANMT to the albums to the wiki, I skipped nine: # 1. Three Sound Test volumes after the first: the first had a few tracks that got finished or referenced later, but largely they became a place for musicians to put their non-CANMT tracks, which is kind of out of scope. Many of them also don't have references listed, and they're massive albums. # 2. All three Queue volumes: they are vastly low effort mashups, I'd know, I contributed those myself heavily. Doesn't feel like it's soundtracks for Cool and New Web Comic, they're an attempt to ape Siivagunner. Would require filling the wiki with hundreds of more references beyond homestuck. # 3. Bro and Game Web Comic: it's literally mashups of normal tracks with Game Bro/Game Grl. AI can handle this one when it gets good enough, if it's even worth adding. # 4. Rain: it's an album by Cecily Renns which has some lyrical references to her work on CANMT, but was largely an indie album unrelated to it. Unclear why it was in the CANMT bandcamp in the first place. # 5. Leak 08-07 (Late Ones): this is less a music album and more a joke about video game leaks and ARGs. It's a bunch of corrupted music files that are in later albums or the final sound test. # That said, if you want to add them, go ahead. I thought they were out of scope or not worth adding, but your mileage may vary.

It features music by [[artist:clark-powell|Clark Powell]], often repurposed from her [[group:clark-powell|previous independent efforts]].

On the game's third anniversary, coinciding with the game becoming free, the EPs were removed from Bandcamp, with the now heavily-discounted full soundtrack remaining available. --- Group: UNDERTALE & DELTARUNE URLs: - https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/ - https://undertale.com/ - https://www.deltarune.com/ Description: |- "The role-playing game where you don't have to kill anyone!"
Besides being an acclaimed game with its own much-deserved passionate fanbase, the soundtrack of UNDERTALE - single-handedly composed by [[artist:toby-fox]], who also developed the game largely on his own - is well recognized for its extensive use of leitmotifs. Musical themes are reused all throughout the soundtrack; several have even made their way beyond their original context and been referenced by fan musicians in their own Homestuck tracks! DELTARUNE is Toby Fox's current project, a continuation of sorts set in an alternate reality; the first chapter has been released for free, and the remaining chapters (and their soundtrack) will be released as a set when the game is complete. Much as Homestuck's discography helped foster a community of creation and collaboration, the music and reach of UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE have inspired countless up-and-coming musicians to create remixes and delve into music creation with their own talents and ideas.
