    <i>Makin:</i>
    Ok I don’t know how we’re gonna format this but I want to thank Gryotharian and Monckat for doing an absolutely amazing job getting track art done for every remaining track in like, a week. That’s 26 and 17 arts respectively! They can be said unironically to have saved the art part of this album.
    The other artists are fine too but they didn’t make 17 track arts and that’s the cutoff for being personally mentioned…
    <i>Ucklin:</i>
    Thanks: Circlejourney and Makin for helping with management and organization, Kanishka for working a lot to get the booklet ready, Gryotharian for giving feedback to almost every song on the spreadsheet, and everyone else on the team who took on roles to help us get this out in addition to their music and art contributions! Also, everyone who tuned in to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz6uitzoTgU">the livestream</a>.
    I thought this would definitely be our final album going in, but now I don’t feel so sure. It really was a team effort, so thank you everyone!

    <i>Warxtron:</i>
    A Skaia song originally made for Haeldral's Felt Mansion 2. One of the two final Homestuck songs I made. I wanted it to sound pretty but epic like Skaia itself but without using the same [[track:skies-of-skaia|Skies of Skaia]] leitmotif as always.
    <i>Circlejourney:</i>
    Skaia has such pretty colours, I wanted to capture that.

    D-D-D-D-DO IT!
Commentary: |-
    <i>Cryptanark:</i>
    I made this track in 2017, during high school. Now I’m about to graduate from college. Isn’t that surprising? Time flies.
    Spacetime Starstriker was also the second track of its original release platform. It was first published through a different music team (am I allowed to name CANMT here?). At the time, I think I was mainly excited about the track’s aggressive time signature changes.
    Over the years, I’ve assembled a laundry list of things I’d change in the piece if I were to start again from scratch. But I’m still proud of the original product, and grateful for the reception thus far. I feel content with this being my last major contribution to the HS fanmusic space. For the time being.
    Many of the motifs and quotes in this track are lifted from CANMT tracks. What a fun group! Those folks helped me get into music-making in the first place, and I most certainly would not be here without them. I encourage you to check out some of the more experimental albums we released. They’re more interesting to me than the Greatest Hits compilations, anyhow.

Commentary: |-
    <i>Gryotharian:</i>
    I held a poll among friends for the title of this song, but I couldn’t pick a favorite even after the results were in so i just tried to mash all of them into one title. It worked… alright. The original plan for the song was just going to be a straightforward beatdown remix, but I liked what I made too much to relegate it to that, and also really wanted to reference [[album:the-baby-is-you|The Baby Is You]], so thus was born this shitpost of a song.
    I hope the art reflects that energy too. I’ve been told I have a particular talent for ironically bad masterpieces.

    (Les chats c'est vraiment des branleurs.) (<i>Cats are truly wankers.</i>)
Commentary: |-
    <i>Tee-vee:</i>
    Originally named "Nepcafé", ideas for this song came from wondering how the cat sample from Mario Paint Composer would fare as a funny resonant acid 303 style sound, and puns with "Net" and "Nep". At some point I was reminded of rave and scene aesthetic Nepeta headcanons/AUs etc, loved that and thought it was the best track to riff off from that ! Even though I was inspired by Nepeta I think it could very much fit Meulin as well, it's a very Leijon track in my mind.

    This one I actually wrote a while ago. At this point I was just challenging myself to make as many homestuck covers in as many different styles as I could and I think this one is particularly special. Squiddles were already one of my favorite little lore spirals from homestuck so to be able to put a little bit more AU weirdness is something Im honored to be able to do.

    As always, Astro Kid manages to turn any track into a rave-worthy bop, no matter how melancholic the original is. This used to be a lost track, and I might have never heard it if Rafe Saltman hadn’t reuploaded it on Youtube, so he deserves our thanks. This art piece was actually inspired by the track a few months after it was made, so I contacted the artist to finally make it official, half a decade later.

This is that but LOWAS, and also taking 20 minutes to render a frame instead of whatever fps the old screensaver ran at. The cost of beauty. It's an honor to make art for a LOFAM album, I've been listening to the older ones since I was a teenager. You could say that with this art I fulfilled a Pipe Dream.

    I made this track for the Cool and New Music Team Felt/Midnight Crew album circa 2018 or so, and it was nominated for “the next LOFAM” long before any actual prep for this album had really started. I actually requested it be taken off of LOFAM5 because I felt it didn’t meet my standards anymore, but due to a miscommunication it stayed on. I found this out about 15 minutes before the release stream, which is happening as I type this - Album is sounding great, y’all! Anyway, hope it sounds better to you than it does to me.

Commentary: |-
    <i>Gryotharian:</i>
    This is a really weird one for me. Originally, I started out with the intention to do a remastered and updated version of my track “[[The Puppetmaster]]” from our previous release [[album:friendsymphony|Friendsymphony]], but slowly, I came to realize that the remaster kind of sucked, and all traces of it were eventually wiped from this track. The intro (can you call it in intro if it’s more than half the song?) came to me about half a year after the main body of the song, it was the first thing I ever recorded vocals for, and may well be the last. Not much point in putting lyrics down though, cause all they are is “ooOOOOooo”. I was listening to a lot of Colin Stetson’s music during the time I made it so that probably played some influence in it. Then another half year after that I replaced the main body of the song too, because after listening to it with fresh ears, it was kind of a discordant mess. I kept the original idea behind [[The Puppetmaster]], a distorted mix of [[WORST END|Worst End]] and [[English]], but that’s about it. I might release that version eventually, but it won’t be on this album.
    This was some of the first non-pixel digital art I ever did, and for that, I think it turned out pretty well. However, I had a real knack for doing things the hardest possible way, and oh my god, I never want to draw another clock again. I did all of this, with a keyboard and trackpad, on a free trial for a photoshop knockoff. That wallpaper? I didn’t figure out how to use the copy-paste tool properly, and had to manually put in every detail on it. This was a nightmare to complete, (albeit a nightmare of my own making), so you all had better appreciate it.

    I was surprised by how fast everyone loved this track. I think this is the only one that I didn’t have to make any edits to after submitting it, and it’s one of my oldest submissions too, I made this well over a year ago. Very briefly, it was going to be a Vriska and Eridan track, using all different instruments, but it wasn’t working well, and as soon as I switched it to the piano samples, the rest of the song just basically created itself, becoming a whole new vibe that was very The Felt, and not at all Vriska and Eridan.

    \ best to capture in the song the grandness of Alternia, its sinister nature,\
    \ and Doc Scratch’s effect on the planet and this is what I got.I spent a while\
    \ trying to come up with a name and eventually landed on either Blood Rite or\
    \ Blood Right, either way it’s sort of a pun so take that how you will. \n<i>swanfire:</i>\n\
    Decided to focus on the handmaid and the condesce because of the female laughs\

Commentary: |-
    <i>cookiefonster:</i>
    If you remember my song "The Gemoni Mustard Blood" from [[album:lofam4|LOFAM4]], that was originally from an old Cool and New Music Team (CANMT) album I made back in 2016 called "Of Troles and Chiptumes". While I had a lot of fun making that album, over the years I've come to regard its composition and instrumentation as somewhat amateurish; I was still rather new to Famitracker, the software I used to make all those songs.
    While I had at one point wanted to remake the entire album using the chiptune skills I know today, the only song I ever ended up remaking was "[[Madame Controversielle]]", the album's song for Vriska. The remake was put on the CANMT album "troleplanet", and the reasoning behind its title was simply to take the original one and slap a 2 on it! So yes, there is indeed a Madame Controversielle 1, but I really don't get why you would want to listen to it over this version.
    <i>Gryotharian:</i>
    I’m not sure about how this one turned out. All the chiptune and vriska definitely made me think of like, a retro game player select screen, so I went back to my old pixel art style, and tried to fill it with the most vriska that vriska could vriska. But it had been a while since I was working with plain pixel art again, and that probably shows.

    <i>Gryotharian:</i>
    I made this song shortly after reading Detective Pony, when Dirk Strider was fresh on my mind and skyrocketing to the top of my all-time favorite characters. I wanted to do something specifically for the offscreen period between the end of homestuck and the epilogues, his journey to becoming what he is now, his acceptance of becoming the villain, etc. Mainly, just really love Dirk. Also, it’s an excuse to give some love to some of his more underrated songs. (Basically anything that isn’t [[track:beatdown-strider-style|Beatdown]].) I had never even heard [[Austin, Atlantis|Austin Atlantis]] before I started on this song, and man was I missing out, so it quickly became the basis for the whole thing. In retrospect I wish I could’ve put [[Orange Hat]] in there somewhere, mainly just cause that’s also an awesome underrated song, but by the time I remembered, this was mostly done and it wouldn’t have really fit anywhere. This might be the song I’m happiest with on this album.

    \ winded but I wanted to fit the Touhou/Demetori naming format haha.\n<i>Monckat:</i>\n\
    Tried my best to create something as complex and intimidating as the track itself.\
    \ The idea here was for the art to initially seem like random organic noise, with\
    \ the Black King only popping into view on a closer look. Originally I was planning\
    \ on using a lot more shading on this, some gradients and blur/glow effects too\
    \ maybe. But I ultimately found it was more striking to restrict myself to only\

Commentary: |-
    <i>Monckat:</i>
    [[The Lyrist]] is one of my favorite Homestuck tracks, with its main melody being in my humble opinion the most hauntingly beautiful refrain on the whole soundtrack. Which is why it’s always driven me slightly mad that said melody only appears in the first 45 seconds and never returns. And while the rest of the track is wonderful in its own right, it’s never stuck in my brain quite as much.
    So the idea with this track was to attempt in my own flawed way to extend those first 45 seconds into a full track, and for the most part the way I chose to do that was to work in pieces of [[The Thirteenth Hour]] (along with adding in some original stuff). Hope you guys like it!
    The title is in reference to a baker’s dozen (13), which alludes to the use of [[The Thirteenth Hour]].
    The teal and purple orbs are intended to be the orb things Alt Calliope uses to create the black hole in Act 7. My little headcanon for those orbs is that they're genesis frog frogspawn, basically embryonic universes. The idea being that since it took two universes to create the Green Sun, perhaps it takes three to destroy it.

    (WELCOME, FEMALES AND GENTLEMEN, TO THIS MUSICAL MASTERPIECE, THE FIRST HIT SINGLE

Commentary: |-
    <i>Gryotharian:</i>
    There was a lot going on in the production of this, and none of it had to do with the final track. A long, long time ago, before any of my other submissions, I was going to do a Caliborn track, with the intent of being presented as a track that Caliborn himself produced. But at that time, there weren’t many other submissions for this album yet, and a disturbingly high percentage of them were cherub related, so I dropped it. A year later, I was working on a remix of the afterword theme from Pesterquest, but it wasn’t really clicking right. The heavy bass synths and bitcrushed drums weren’t working for the style of the track. Around the same time, I finally got my hands on the incredibly elusive midi of [[Carne Vale]], which has been my favorite homestuck song since the first time I heard it, and has yet to be dethroned. So I had the crazy notion, that the instruments I was using for my Pesterquest remix would work fantastically if I decided to go back to a Caliborn track, now that I could properly reference [[Carne Vale]]. (I had been trying to figure out that bassline by ear for, oh lord, something like 3 years.) And, I ended up with what might be one of my favorite compositions of mine to date. Had it stuck in my head for months. Cleaned up the mixing over the next little while, and the rest is history. I had two names for it for a while, Teeth and Blood, and Space Crusader. Originally I was going to go with both, have one of those little ~ things in between, but I decided that Space Crusader, while it fit the vibe of the song, didn’t really fit the vibe of Caliborn, so I dropped it.

    \ Kong Country soundtrack, especially Stickerbrush Symphony. For a game about\
    \ a monkey fighting a crocodile over a pile of bananas, that game has a surprisingly\
    \ amazing soundtrack. Once I had a chord progression down I felt like it should\
    \ be about the cracks in the universe, with a similar vibe to [[Do You Remem8er\
    \ Me|Do You Remem8er me]], and then I eventually ended up just referencing it\
    \ at the end of the track. It didn’t really end up very DKC or very [[Do You Remem8er\
    \ Me|Do You Remem8er me]], but both those things are far outside of my usual style\
    \ so I’m not all that surprised, and what it did turn out as is something I like\
    \ a lot.\n<i>Cratmang:</i>\nWhen you think about it, Caliborn/Lord English is\
    \ kind of a tragic figure. Multiple universes of emotions, and the only one he\
    \ can understand is rage and hatred. I almost feel bad for him. Almost. Where\

This track began as an experiment with the layering of different-length loops on each other in a way that would never exactly repeat itself, which you can hear in pretty clearly the first section - it’s something one encounters often in minimalist and ambient music, and I’d like to do more with the technique in the future. Hope you enjoy!
    <i>Monckat:</i>
    I like to think Caliborn worked really hard on this one, maybe it’s hanging over a mantelpiece in Lord English’s manor somewhere. He’s added some tasteful JPEG artifacts and plastic wrap filters to his style, I’m so proud of him!

    A father and son reunite. With this song I played with one of my favorite lofi ambient tricks that being recording the song to a weird audio format. In this case the song was recorded directly to a wire recorder. (the small skips and hitches you hear is the thin steel wire that will snag on the play head every now and again)
    As for the Content recorded to the wire Its a semi improvisational piece that was made to reflect John’s mindstate when he reunites with his dad after the long road that was most of the comic.

    In order to really progress much further I think they'd have to start a new sburb session in Homestuck^2. So I thought I'd try to make a theme for that.
    <i>Monckat:</i>
    Based on the box art for SimCity 4. The instruments used here made my mind jump to the idea of a Maxis-made SimCity style sandbox version of Sburb, so I spoke it into existence. I have no idea how such a game would actually play but I need it now.
    Man, drawing this has made me sad there’s no Spore 2 again. Dammit.

Commentary: |-
    <i>repeatedScales:</i>
    Oh boy. I feel the best way to justify this mix of the song's entire existence is with the following; the original [[Gold Mage]] had a very barren and empty arrangement, designed to facilitate a vocal track that never actually got made, and though the lack of vocals probably helped it make [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|coloUrs & mayhem Vol. 1]] in the long run, a lot of people picked up on how empty the song felt. This mix was kind of my way of making up for that, but in the process I created the opposite problem of having TOO MUCH going on, especially in that first 'verse' section. Oh dear god, that first 'verse' section; I am baffled as to how I could possibly have thought that sounded good at the time. Technically speaking the cutting and looping on that guitar sample is very well done, but it doesn't work with the vibe of the beat, and it REALLY doesn't work with the bassline. The second 'verse' isn't much better, in that itself it's a nice chilled out rework of elements from the original, but it jars with the rest of the "GET PUMPED" vibe the tracks got going on. Also, man oh man, [[group:toby-fox|Toby Fox]] felt the solo from the end of the original song was boring; the solo on this song is utterly lifeless. It can barely be called a solo. Ok, ok, some positives; though the chorus is somewhat cluttered, I do like how punchy the chords sound using a more typical "rave stab" type sound (hell, in general the synth stabs on the cut are often the better elements), the stock sawtooth bass synth actually works quite nice with the bassline, and though it gets buried in a lot of the mix, the main drum machine beat over the 'verses' and the solo is actually quite punchy, and has a real late 90s game soundtrack vibe to it that I like. The original is definitely the better version of the song in the long run, though.
    <i>Makin:</i>
    This amazing redux version of the [[album:coloUrs-and-mayhem-universe-a|Colours and Mayhem: Universe A]] track was hidden away in the musician’s <a href="https://103records.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a>, known to few. It’s time it saw the light of the mainstream and knocked your socks off.

    This track was made for Homestuck’s 10 year anniversary back in 2019, in the span of about an hour. [[track:sburban-jungle]] always felt to me like the “core” of Homestuck’s extremely varied soundtrack, so I always wanted to do a take on it in some form. This didn’t end up very similar to the original song, and I wasn’t intending it to sound so melancholy, but neither is a bad thing.

Lyrics: "[[[S]ynchronize]]\n\nI’m still wondering\nWhere to go now\nWe have seen the\
    \ highest peak but there was \nNothing there no truth and how\nI’m wandering\n\
    Through all these places\nLands of Little Cubes and Tea \nOf Wind and Shade, these\
    \ null spaces\n\nI’ve stared at the stars, how they shine verdant dreams\nI’ve\
    \ looked through the void, seen it crack at the seams\nI fought every challenge,\
    \ these devils and gods\nThey won’t know what hit them\n\n[S]ynchronize, with\
    \ every breath resounding\n[S]ynchronize, we’ll see the light astounding\n[S]ynchronize,\
    \ time keeps our heartbeat pounding\n[S]ynchronize, now witness space surrounding\n\
    \nI’m still wandering\nIn this [[Cascade]]\nSee this universe we made, [[Do You\
    \ Remem8er Me|will you remem8er me]]?\nThese games we played?\nOur plundering\n\
    Boonbucks and grist, [[album:prospit-and-derse|Prospit and Derse]]\nIn the end\
    \ we gave them\nEverything, our final verse\n\nI’ve sang with the muses, dead\
    \ timelines denied\nI’ve hunted the wolf and seen planets [[album:s-collide|Collide]]\n\
    I’ve witnessed the end of these gods and their tiers\nAnd no one could save them\n\
    \n[S]ynchronize, see this new life we’re founding\n[S]ynchronize, now with the\
    \ void confounding\n[S]ynchronize, it’s all our hearts still sounding\n[S]ynchronize,\
    \ infinite hope abounding\n\n[[track:showtime-original-mix|Showtime!]]\n\n[S]ynchronize,\
    \ with every breath resounding\n[S]ynchronize, we’ll see the light astounding\n\

    \ surrounding\n[S]ynchronize, with every breath resounding\n[S]ynchronize, we’ll\
    \ see the light astounding\n[S]ynchronize, time keeps our heartbeat pounding\n\
    [S]ynchronize, now witness space surrounding\n\nThis will be the end\nCome with\
    \ me and we’ll [[Ascend]]\nSolving puzzles universal\nIn our [[Sburban Reversal]]\n\
    All these [[track:ruins]] we [[track:explore]]\nCould it be there’s something\
    \ more?\nPester me, I’m not alone\nI’m just stuck inside my home"

    <i>heir-of-puns:</i>
    So [[track:synchronize]] is just…really really good and it makes me feel a lot of things. Yeah it’s vocaloid and that’s funny but god DAMN it gives me chills every time I listen to it. I’ve been working on this cover for maybe two and a half years now? Since the Before Times definitely. It has gone through a lot of tweaks but I’m pretty proud of it overall. HUGE thanks to Ucklin for final mastering and vocals, and to CJ for the harmonies! Pronunciation of the title is up for ~interpretation~ I guess. I wanted it to be a tribute to the original title, and also just seeing the [S] in front of the next arrow always gave me a rush of adrenaline since something amazing was probably about to go down. So you click on that arrow with anticipation and launch yourself into the experience and then freak out about it on the internet afterward. Here I go getting emotional about homestuck again, wild.
    <i>Ucklin:</i>
    I wanted to put a lot of emotion and expressivity into the vocals even if that made them a bit weird! Puns was really cool and waited a long time for me to finally record them while stuff was going on in my life. I’m glad I got to work with him!
    <i>Circlejourney:</i>
    You can just hear the love and effort that went into the track, it brings the nostalgia rushing back so I tried to create an art piece that would do that justice.

    \ I dunno how to describe it, like classical? Archetypical? Something like church\
    \ stained glass, or a tarot card, and I gave Ult Dirk a halo type thing. Then\
    \ a very unfinished version of it sat on my desktop for several months, just the\

    \ details like each poster and book and the window, until finally I decided that\
    \ I’d better finish this up, and did all the shading and lighting and everything\
