When we first meet her in the Hivebent act, she's an emotionless ghost who later becomes a ghost frog, then a ghost in a robot body (or a "ghost in the shell" :rimshot:), before making her final sea change into a cheerful fairy god with time powers (which explains the ticking and subtle reversem elodies of the song, atl east). The peppy piano and melancholy backing strings and woodwinds represent these aspects of Aradia's presonality - accustomed to death, she acts as a cheery Charon for her fallen teammates. I built the piano melody (and the title) out of Alexander Rosetti's "Crystalanthemums" because to me, ever since [S] Make her pay, the tune has been irrevocably linked to the trolls, Aradia, Terezi, and Vriska in particular. It also translated to a peppy piano melody much better than Toby Fox's "[[psych0ruins]]" would have. This song is also an homage to Michiru Yamane's impressive body of soundtrack work for the various Castlevania games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -141,8 +144,8 @@ Track: First Guardian, Last Stand Artist: Chase Track Art: melodiousDiscord References: -- Black - Beatdown (Strider Style) +- Liquid Negrocity URLs: https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/first-guardian-last-stand Commentary: <i>Chase:</i> @@ -289,12 +292,12 @@ Commentary: I intended this to have a bit of an iconic feel (note the orange halo formed by the clouds). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Atomik Meltdown -Artist: Hames +Artist: James Roach Track Art: Pancake-Fairy References: Atomyk Ebonpyre URLs: https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/atomik-meltdown Commentary: - <i>Hames:</i> + <i>James Roach:</i> I liked the idea of Ebonpyre being used as a strife theme for Dave, so I wanted to go a little further with it. I imagined Dave using al ot of time-skipping while he fights (as represented by the record scratches). Atomik Meltdown was probably my first real foray into fanmusic. I had written two remixes previously, but I didn't really spend much time on them. Looking back on this song now, all I can see are the mistakes and the naive part arrangement. At the time I remember really being excited about this.

To me, it clearly represented the passage from childhood to maturity that each of the kids, especially John, were forced to udnergo in their short-lived session. Focusing on our favourite Friend-Leader, I attempted to capture this with an image of him turning his back on the relative safety and comforts of childhood and the watchful eye of his guardian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: The Drawing of the Four -Artist: Well Manicured Man +Artist: Willow Ascenzo Track Art: Red Pen References: - Sburban Jungle @@ -686,7 +689,7 @@ References: - Beatdown (Strider Style) URLs: https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/the-drawing-of-the-four Commentary: - <i>Well Manicured Man:</i> + <i>Willow Ascenzo:</i> The title is, of course, a blatant reference to Sven King's Dark Towerseries. The song is a build-up to each of the four kids entering the Medium (they're being "drawn" into the game just as Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were drawn into Mid-World, but that's enough for now about something that isn't Homsetuck), so we start out with a slow rendition of "Sburban Jungle" played on the piano (John's instrument) with subsequent accompaniment by a violin (Rose's instrument). Then, here come the drums (Dave's isntrument), and we kick the song into high gear when the flute and bass (both Jade's instruments) come in. There's al ong period of pseudo-improv frm the bass, flute, and violin before returning to the meat of the song - and a nod to the Squiddles theme (another reference to Rose) before the finale. Curiously, the order of the instruments exactly matches the order of the kids' introduction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Ira quod Angelus |
