+    It was fun to play lots of nice low 7 string guitar chugs and to try and make it sound as villainous as possible. :)

+    Eight years ago, I made a track for a webcomic called Homestuck for a music competition.
+    Today, I'm happy to announce the official release of my track, SPLIT REALITY, on the newest Homestuck album, Beyond Canon!!!
+    Enjoy <3
+    I'm also officially apart of the Homestuck music team, and will be working with them further for more releases~

+    K I wanna be real with y'all here.
+    This track means a lot to me in more than one way. Between a bunch of depressive episodes and just outstanding amounts of imposter syndrome, I had a lot of anxiety that I wouldn't even be able to make a track that was in the ballpark of "good", let alone at all worthy of being on the first official album of Homestuck^2. And for a while there, I wasn't really making things I was at all enjoying or proud of. I was worried of making something that wasn't "homestuck" enough, or wasn't something people were really expecting. But the support of the amazing Homestuck music team helped contribute to a track I can firmly say I'm proud of, and even being included on this album means the world to me.
+    So I really, really do hope you guys enjoy this <3

+    <blockquote>Holy crap. Impeccable. I might transcribe this for my music project.</blockquote>
+    This might make it a bit easier — I made a notated blueprint before I started producing it (notated on two piano grand staves, because that's easy for me to parse, but it's certainly not a playable two-piano score). It's not 100% accurate to how it wound up (and I'm not going to fix it, because I don't have any use for an accurate "score"), but if you take this as a slightly-flawed transcription you can probably get the rest relatively easily. <a href="misc/narrative-command-blueprint.pdf">(link!)</a>

 Commentary:
-    <i>Ashley Lyons:</i>
+    <i>horizon:</i>
     As a theme for the Disciple/Signless(Sufferer) pairing, I wanted the song to be haunting, cold, and forebodying, but still beautiful and rich.
     The word <i>confinis</i> is latin for "beside" or "adjacent to" -- in astrology, it is another word for semisextile, which is an aspect of 30°. Such angles only occur when two planets are in two signs next to each other; in this case I'm referring to Cancer and Leo. The song (and image, for that matter) both follow this concept of 'togetherness', no matter what may face them -- and you'll see that The Disciple keeps her promise, as she is found in our night sky beside the prophet Cancerian.
