This was what I was originally going to use for the fan album, but I decided to drop it half way through making it on the grounds that it didn't sound like a Homestuck song. Jack Noir (and by extension, Bec Noir) always struck me as a tragic character. The way I see it, he's always violent because of the abuse he receives from the black queen. He's physically shut down all other emotions save for hatred because as far as he's concerned, there is no such thing. However things change for him when Bec becomes prototyped. He suddenly has a heart and has new feelings. Bec's influence taught him what it's like to feel for someone else, although Jack desperately tried so hard to ignore these feelings. When Jade died, Jack finally knew what it felt to lose someone so close to your heart.

It turns out I was assigned a Felt realted track, specifically to Stitch. I wanted to stay true to the feel of the album The Felt. I used strings, light percussion, and most importantly, I messed around with teh tempo. This was a little bit of a challenge for me, but I think it turned outa lright. Fun fact; The glitchy effect was not on purpose, it was an export error I thought sounded cool so I kept it. @@ -930,12 +1120,15 @@ Commentary: Track: Ave Dei Novi Artist: Willow Ascenzo Track Art: xkoraxayomex +Duration: 3:48 References: - Doctor - Dissension (Original) - Aggrieve - Atomyk Ebonpyre -URLs: https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/ave-dei-novi +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/ave-dei-novi +- https://youtu.be/y3jkIF6yMkc?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZuWBGTwXgaTHoEU0I81xei Commentary: <i>Willow Ascenzo:</i> When I started "Ave Dei Novi" (a song made just for Land of Fans and Music 2), I fully intended that it would be the biggest, strongest, most well-composed, best Homestuck fan composition I've workedo n tto date, a sort of capstone of Homestuck fan music. The first Land of Fans and Music had two of my early songs on it, and I felt it was appropriate that I do my best and show how far I'd come in a year for the second album. "Ave Dei Novi" takes its cue, partially, from the bombastic and incredible Gundam Unicorn soundtrack by Sawano Hiroyuki, especially in the orchestra and percussion grooves, which I worked very hard on. I think I'm most proud of the bongo groove breakdown in the middle and the "Atomyk Ebonpyre" section near the end. Those two parts ended up especially fantastic. @@ -947,7 +1140,10 @@ Commentary: Track: Nevermore (Can't Sleep, Crows Will Find Me) Artist: Thomas Ferkol Track Art: Amethyst Barron -URLs: https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/nevermore-cant-sleep-crows-will-find-me +Duration: 3:08 +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/nevermore-cant-sleep-crows-will-find-me +- https://youtu.be/SCNRj_vp9SM?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZuWBGTwXgaTHoEU0I81xei Commentary: <i><b>Brad Griffin:</b></i> No commentary here! @@ -961,8 +1157,11 @@ Commentary: Track: Prophecy Artist: David Dycus Track Art: Daysi +Duration: 2:26 References: Penumbra Phantasm -URLs: https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/prophecy +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/prophecy +- https://youtu.be/uFGakc3gyDM?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZuWBGTwXgaTHoEU0I81xei Commentary: <i>David Dycus:</i> Prophecy was made in February of 2011, a couple of months after I re-installed FL Studio. [[Umbral Ultimatum]] remains one of my favorite HS songs, and I wanted to do something in 3/4 time using the opening melody. The song's development is kind of a blur to me now, I was busy with work and was experiencing some anxiety problems, and threw the song together over a two or three-day period, but it obviously took a very dark turn somewhere along the way. Whatever happened, I'm still pretty pleased with how it turned out. @@ -970,6 +1169,7 @@ Commentary: Track: The Dance of Oblivion Artist: Domble Track Art: piskomil +Duration: 3:10 References: - At The Price of Oblivion - Rex Duodecim Angelus @@ -977,7 +1177,9 @@ References: - Sburban Jungle - An Unbreakable Union - Mutiny -URLs: https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-dance-of-oblivion +URLs: +- https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/the-dance-of-oblivion +- https://youtu.be/dw9fX9Z6jK4?list=PLnVpmehyaOFZuWBGTwXgaTHoEU0I81xei Commentary: <i>Domble:</i> The original version of this track had huge problems.

I'd oly just caught up with the archives when I was set a composition assignment or university. Having never used Logic to compose before, I had fun playing with a bunch of the different inbuilt instruments. When I found the koto, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I tried to make it sound somewhat ethereal and otherworldly to represent the Incipisphere in all its beautiful weirdness. To try to do that, I threw a whole lot of reverb and delay at pretty much every track. I really did not know what I was doing, but it was fun. |
