It’s a song about Dualscar—but it wasn’t always a song about Dualscar. No, it started out as a song about John. This explains the harp/piano section, which plays with the opening melody to Showtime, vaguely darting near it without ever actually producing the exact notes from Malcolm Brown’s original song. I intended it to be more of a hint of John’s original strife theme than a direct reference. In hindsight, keeping the references to existing Homestuck leitmotifs subtle was a smart idea. If I’d been more overt in my references and just made it a straight-up Doctor remix or an explicit arrangement of Showtime, it would have been really hard to reallocate it to a different character. And I’m happy that Violet Mariner is a Dualscar song. Dualscar needs more songs. And also it gave Radiation an excuse to almost name it “Violet Seaman”. And besides, it means I still technically haven’t used the original title, Heirstrike, yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Fuchsia Ruler -Artist: Sinister Psyche +Artist: Kezinox Track Art: Mel Duration: 4:07 Refrences: Liquid Negrocity, twoward2 the heaven2 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/fuchsia-ruler - https://youtu.be/AgOGQVszHbY?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYiRW0x2OrqmeDZZp4rQHEV +- https://soundcloud.com/kezinox/witching-hour Commentary: - <i>Sinister Psyche:</i> + <i>Kezinox:</i> Obviously with a name like Witc)(ing )(our, this song is for the condesce/batterwitch/etc. I always figured a sexy psychotic space empress bent on universal domination needed an over-the-top evil, but also dance-able track. I’d actually been planning to do a song like this for her for quite a while since she’s one of—if not my favorite—characters. Every 30 seconds or so represents a time in the Condesce’s life as we know it up to now and, while the song is almost wholly original, I did pull a few minor, but very recognizable things from songs like liquid negrocity and Twoard2 the Heaven2 to help really nail the connection. + (<a href="https://soundcloud.com/kezinox/witching-hour">SoundCloud</a>) + This is my song entry for the Homestuck Music Contest--essentially a dark electro house song for the Condesce. On a technical level this song more or less represents the culmination of all the practice and knowledge I've gained from working with music up until now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: ~~SIDE 2~~ Artist: Toby Fox @@ -208,14 +217,26 @@ Duration: 0:57 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bronze-page - https://youtu.be/2ZmG8q5z1XE?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYiRW0x2OrqmeDZZp4rQHEV +Lyrics: + There is a land that I know, it is real and not just make believe<br>One where friends will defend one another to the end, and you never have to leave + A boy with the love in his heart, 'boldened by the courage in his soul<br>He will fight for the rights of the fairies and the sprites, a hero among trolls + You sitting there watching troll TV, get on up and come with me!<br>Adventure lies and soon you will be, watching Fiduspawn! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Gold Mage -Artist: repeatedScales +Artist: Decon Theed Track Art: Prassio Duration: 3:30 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/gold-mage - https://youtu.be/IY9mF06ZVFI?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYiRW0x2OrqmeDZZp4rQHEV +- https://soundcloud.com/103_records/repeatedscales-gold-mage-2011 +Commentary: + <i>Decon Theed:</i> + Yes, I'm still amused by the fact that the comments on the most popular YouTube upload of this song essentially consist of nothing but "THIS REMINDS ME OF X GAME". + And not one of them has ever guessed Baten Kaitos, which provided the primary sources of inspiration for this track (the two Chaotic Dance songs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B64f48ewdo">link</a> - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ftFQ_ToXvA">link</a>). Absolute madness. + So. Gold Mage. Originally known as "Playtime is Over" and written for Dirk Strider before being repurposed to Sollux. Probably my most successful song, before I wrote that remix of Amalgum from Undertale. The very first piece of music I ever made money on. + I shan't lie; I'm not as fond of this song as I used to be. Not because of the Homestuck connection or anything; simply because it's just too repettitive. Enough so that it lead to why the eventual remix of it turned out the way it did (too busy and cluttered in places - [[track:gold-mage-playtime-is-over-mix]]) It was so with purpose; I did intend for lyrics to go over this- I even wrote a few- but never recorded anything. But honestly, I can't quite bring myself to hate it. The chords are quite nice, what melodies there are + the basslines are pretty slick, and it was my first major musical success. Though the royalties have since slowed way, way down- it's like £10 every four months, if that- it was a major deal when it first dropped as a part of coloUrs & mayhem: Universe A. Even Toby Fox and (assuming I'm not misremembering entirely) Andrew Hussie had nice things to say about it- directly comarping it to EarthBound-type stuff and being astounded it was written, from the ground up, in a PS1 game. + I may not be much into Homestuck these days, and I definitely think the song is showing it's age... but, hell, it's special to me all the same. One of the most integral pieces of my early music career by a wide margin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Iron Knight Artist: DJ最テー @@ -228,7 +249,7 @@ URLs: Track: Olive Rogue Artist: Eston Schweickart Contributors: Alex Amlie-Wolf (bass) -Track Art: Mingmingfurb +Track Art: Grim Harlequin Duration: 4:57 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/olive-rogue @@ -244,7 +265,7 @@ URLs: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Teal Seer Artist: Kera Jones -Track Art: Bloodredbites +Track Art: Sangcoon Duration: 2:32 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/teal-seer @@ -260,14 +281,14 @@ URLs: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Indigo Heir Artist: Paul Tuttle Starr -Track Art: Rebecca Ryberg +Track Art: Erupan Duration: 5:00 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/indigo-heir - https://youtu.be/tdzG9kkxGt8?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYiRW0x2OrqmeDZZp4rQHEV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Purple Bard -Artist: Gec +Artist: Eligecos Track Art: Brianne Duration: 3:08 URLs: @@ -325,7 +346,7 @@ Lyrics: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Superego Artist: Yan Rodriguez -Track Art: Kajoi +Track Art: Kajoinen Duration: 2:58 URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/superego |
