Initially this song was simply so, but after I learned more about the scope and depth of the AlterniaBound project... I decided that more of a change was in order for the track. (It was at that point that I also decided it would be cool to have some hidden tracks... leading to the early premiere of many tracks that would eventually be on Volume 6.) A little while ago, I finished the "final version" of this track.

Originally, I tried a mix of various brass instruments, percussion, string orchestra, koto, and an electric bass. It didn't feel right. So I pushed that piece aside altogether and restarted with an instrumentation more reminiscent of that used in "Cuddlefish," the troll theme I made for Feferi right before I joined the music team. The intro piano was meant to feel spacey, reminiscent of Eldritch and English, sort of bringing the listener into the afterlife. When the flute enters, I feel that this was as Feferi communicated with the Elder Gods of setting up her dream bubble. The orchestral crescendo brings us to the area deep in space where the bubbles float. From then on, we travel past several bubbles, just absorbing the scenery. The rest of the piece contains glimpses of other events within the bubbles, such as Feferi and Jade's dream chats and the shocking developments concerning the troll session's guardian code.

MANY months later I discovered the Ultimate Megadrive soundfont by The_Eighth_Bit and I decided to remake it as a boss theme for Eridan. Basically everything about the song changed - the only thing that remains is the main melody and chords. It's not a really overwhelming track because Eridan is a bit of a joke, but I'm pretty happy with it. The bassline and solo section are some of the sassiest I've ever written, the melody is still really catchy, and the action is persistent.

Rather than making it a fast-paced action-centric doom-fest, it ended upmore like some kind of apocalyptic dance number: The Trolls, despite going against fairly tough odds, all banded together under Karkat's leadership into a well oiled, tactical nuclear force that managed to overcome the Black King and beat the game. It is, along with the unique 'Black King's theme, more or less a combination of various Troll themes arranged in order of attack. It's probably easier to just explain what's going on where: 0:00 - We start with the black king's introduction, Aradiabots from doomed timelines teleporting in and assembling, the reckoning beginning, the Vast Glub being suppressed. - 1:34 - At this point, the fearless leader steps into action as the first to attack (Crustacean). I like to think this move shreds any sense of doubt they had in Karkat as leader at this point. Karkat's theme's quite fun to work with, so I enjoyed this bit. - 2:03 - Terezi made sense as a logical follow to Karkat (The Lemonsnout Turnabout).

There's a hint of tragedy to Tavros' character that I think comes through here - His melody kinda builds up but just as he's about to act it kinda fades back down. Ah well... The world's smallest violin is playing the intro trumpet section to Tavros' original theme here. - 3:15 - Kanaya, being quite graceful and yet incredibly deadly (Virgin Orb). She pretty much stops the music and focuses all attention on her - Something she'll do again in the future. I really like the opening of Kanaya's theme, so this is one of my fave bits. The chainsaw is also quite a fun touch. - 3:34 - Equius decides to step in and show people how it's done with the might and efficiency only a highb100d could bring, and indeed he probably would, but Nepeta keeps being silly and sneaking in some attacks (Horschestra & Walls Covered in Blood).

They are not particularly exciting in and of themselves, so instead I'll speak a little about Disc 1 itself. Disc 1 is the part of the album initially designed to contain the twelve "principal tracks", invisaged as the main theme for each of the twelve Beforan trolls. At the start of the project, musicians could actually reserve these spots, but a lot of shuffling happened towards the end. Eventually, each troll ended up having multiple themes on the album, but Disc 1 still contains what can probably be considered their "main" theme, due to its location at the start of the album.

The vibraphone represetns Damara and her actions, the bell-like sounds showing how fragile she is feeling, while the loud, brash chords of the marimba shows Meenah's incessant cruelty. The final chord, or more accurately, cluster of notes, is Damara's final snap. It is the thing breaking inside her leading her to attack Meenah and Rufioh. The title "With the Fishes" has a dual meaning in this case: the obvious meaning of Damara interacting with Meenah, and that "sleping with the fishes" is a phrase that signifies that someone's dead, which seemed appropriate since Damara's experiences have left her almost dead inside.

So I did my best to convey all of that. The track uses many synth sounds, or at least *some* synth sounds, and to me that was enough to justify going for the 80's neon aesthetic. I used mainly triadic palette where each colour corresponded to one of the characters: orange for Dirk, violet for Rose, teal/turquoise for Terezi. The theme of "three" is also reinforced by the triangle shape, which I referenced in composition as well as by slapping a big fat triangle in the middle of the picture. It works as a visual portal and also represents the letter Delta (as in Deltritus, the name of the new planet). The idea of actual assembling of the game is referenced through the Venn diagram glyph inside the portal and by those sick grid mountains in the background that I totally didn't trace from some random stock image.

Holy crap. Impeccable. I might transcribe this for my music project.
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. (link!) +
I don’t want to do this beautiful track a disservice by comparing it to music that’s already been made, because it’s one of the most original and creative songs ive ever heard, but it also does kind of sound like all the songs on [[album:Cherubim]] had a brawl and kicked the shit out of each other
+ It intentionally sounds tangentially like a bit of OG Homestuck music (without quoting anything). Calliope's music is a little like some of One Year Older (like [[Firefly Cloud]]) and [[Voidlight]] (from HS Vol. 10). At the beginning of Homestuck^2, Dirk said "Finally, this story is back on the rails. Maybe we can get back to what things were like in the good old days," so his music sounds more stereotypically Homestuck, with the quasi-chiptune style that's in a lot of classic Homestuck music. +

Even the same symbolism can be found in other pieces: Theseus streaking across his face, shatters of memories lost to space. Mine started to mutate though, to take on a form beyond my control. My skill to render the memories failed me: WIPs show the corpse of John, the beheading of Dirk, other fragments of the Epilogues. The main decisions of the piece happened spontaneously: fragments of a clock reforming to Dirk's silhouette, Theseus moving from the corner and taking its place as Dirk's glasses. The colors went through many iterations, a volatile photoshop file of hue shifts and stacked filters. The final nail in the coffin for any hope of a semblance of normalcy in this came with my most baffling decision of all: splashing my previous two track arts for UMSPAF over this one.

This was one of my favorite pieces to work on and even today I’m still pretty pleased with how it turned out, from the striking staccato and col legno strings opening the song to the frantic violins, melancholic chromatic percussion, deep brass, and fast-paced drum grooves. I wanted the song to be big, epic, a little scary. If I may be so immodest, I think I succeeded. Rust Servant was the only one of my three contest submissions to remain allocated to the character I had in mind while writing it, Aradia’s tragic ancestor and Lord English’s dreadful Handmaid (although the name was changed from the terribly uncreative Handmaid of Death to something more apt for the naming scheme of the album). When I wrote this song, I had just taken an Intro to Hinduism class the previous fall and had written a short research paper on Kali, the Hindu goddess of time and death (more remembered for being related to death—those of you who have seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom must be familiar with the Thuggees, a cult of Kali-worshipers infamous for conducting human sacrifices—and, apparently, ripping people’s hearts out and setting them on fire as well). And, of course, because I am A SHAMELESS HOMESTUCK NERD, I immediately thought, “Time? Death? THAT REMINDS ME OF ONE OF THE TROLLS” (no I didn’t write my paper on that, i’m not that terrible). It doesn’t come through much in the song itself, but that’s where I got the inspiration from. And the moral of this story is, take a theology class (or two, or three) on a religion you know nothing about. It’ll give you all sorts of new ideas for Homestuck fanart. Also when the album came out and this song was the first song on the album after Radiation’s intro I was all “HOLY SHIT RADIATION LIKED THIS SONG SO MUCH HE MADE IT THE FIRST SONG” and started pelvic-thrusting across my dorm room.

I tend to listen to the kind of music I like to compose and compose the kind of music I like to listen to. Before I started composing this song I listened to a shit-ton of battle music from Koh Otani’s Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack, and it shows. Oh, boy, does it show, especially from 0:49 onward with the rhythm and percussion of the piece. Violet Mariner was the first song I started working on for the Homestuck music contest that eventually became the coloUrs and mayhem dual album. 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 -Refrences: Liquid Negrocity, twoward2 the heaven2 Track Art: Mel -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/fuchsia-ruler +Duration: 4:07 +Refrences: Liquid Negrocity, twoward2 the heaven2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/fuchsia-ruler +- https://youtu.be/AgOGQVszHbY?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYiRW0x2OrqmeDZZp4rQHEV Commentary: Sinister Psyche: 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.

Let me also point out that it made me extremely happy to see in canon that Jake bounces from side to side before he is about to fight; it was the exact image of him I was hoping for.

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

The piece opens with a quartal chord in the harp, and after the atmosphere is established a solo clarinet introduces the main theme of the album. A portion of the orchestra comes in after that and there’s a small swell before tapering off into a cello solo. The ensemble is pretty scarce in this one due to its subdued nature. There’s not a lot going on in this track overall, but it does its job both as the prelude to Pondsquatter and the album as a whole. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Pondsquatter Track Art: Marina -URLs: https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pondsquatter +Duration: 5:11 +URLs: +- https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/pondsquatter +- https://youtu.be/tt9EOkbyv64?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo Commentary: Alexander Rosetti: If Genesis Frog were a game, this would play at the title screen. It is a full realization of the album’s main theme, this time with the entire orchestra in tow and plenty of thematic development. I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this track. For one thing, it is the first piece I composed for the album and its melodic material served as its main groundwork, so it’s really important in that respect. But at the same time I had the least experience while initially composing it as compared the album’s other tracks, so I had to spend a lot of extra time fine-tuning it and developing it more (the original was barely under two minutes long). Still, considering the amount of work I had to put into it, it was one of the more rewarding tracks to work on. The combination of Prelude and Pondsquatter to open the album with is something I thought about a lot, and in many ways they are one piece split into two parts. Consider this Movement II. Pondsquatter flows right out of Prelude and gradually adds to the orchestration. After a brief celesta interlude, the theme gets going in full. This piece has a sense of emerging, particularly out of the empty space of Prelude. There are plenty of woodwind trills and harp runs; I wanted them to feel like they were bursting out of the texture, and the openness of the quartal harmonies was eventually replaced by more triadic chords. Quartal chords retain some significance through the album, however, though they are certainly not prominent. I aimed to make the climax of this piece very satisfying, with the gong practically screaming “we’ve arrived!” but I was afraid of having too much of a sense of finality so I didn’t give the piece a proper ending. Instead it goes straight into the next track without only a hint at a cadence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Our Glorious Speaker -References: Pondsquatter, Sarabande Track Art: Rikuru -URLs: https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/our-glorious-speaker +Duration: 5:10 +References: Pondsquatter, Sarabande +URLs: +- https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/our-glorious-speaker +- https://youtu.be/Xqf92y6W48M?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo Commentary: Alexander Rosetti: Much like Pondsquatter, the concept for this piece was conceived very early on in the album’s life before it became Genesis Frog. It was supposed to be a theme for the Prospitians, and it still mostly is, but now the piece focuses more on their devotion to the Speaker than the citizens themselves. The chess-people of Prospit are referenced a few times in Homestuck as worshipping the Genesis Frog, and it is through perusing their lore in various updates (mostly Seer: Descend) that I got inspiration for several tracks on the album, including this one. The music was representing devotion, so I wanted it to have the warmest, most tranquil tone it could. There are two chorale-like sections, the first being the passage the strings play in the beginning, and then later in the brass when the rest of the orchestra drops out for a while. The style of this piece was inspired by Taku Iwasaki’s scores, which often feature very beautiful and lush string textures. I actually don’t think I captured that very well, and in fact strayed from that idea as the piece went on. But the core of the inspiration remains and I think one can tell if they are familiar with his style. Of note is the last third of the piece which is a self-indulgent, overly-romanticized arrangement of Erik Scheele’s Sarabande. It’s such a beautiful piece and I knew from the day I started working on this that I wanted to include it, no matter how schmaltzy I made it sound. Give me a break, it was fun, okay? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Prospitian Folklore -References: Pondsquatter Track Art: Rikuru -URLs: https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/prospitian-folklore +Duration: 3:38 +References: Pondsquatter +URLs: +- https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/prospitian-folklore +- https://youtu.be/QLEJynNmhpM?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo Commentary: Alexander Rosetti: “Though we adore Him we shall never enjoy His beauteous Croak.

I kind of wrote this last section accidentally, since it somehow started flowing out of the chorale and I just went with it. It seemed to have an air of urgency and importance to me, so I kept it in to represent “Skaia’s reflection through broken glass”, which is such a fascinating image. Broken glass has been a recurring motif in Homestuck and seems to hold important consequences every time it occurs, and the text implies it will be significant in the Genesis Frog’s final destination. So the atmosphere of this final section felt significant and fitting to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Consorts' Intermezzo -References: Buy NAK Sell DOOF, Pink Shells, Entrance of the Salamanders, Thip of the Tongue Track Art: Marina -URLs: https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/consorts-intermezzo +Duration: 0:28 +References: +- Buy NAK Sell DOOF +- Pink Shells +- Entrance of the Salamanders +- Thip of the Tongue +URLs: +- https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/consorts-intermezzo +- https://youtu.be/kV5rl3XTgAE?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo Commentary: Alexander Rosetti: Part 2 covers all the Consort themes! @@ -82,22 +101,43 @@ Commentary: The character of the music during this section is a bit different than the rest of the album due to the inherent silliness of the creatures it is representing.

This intermezzo transitions from the serious tone of the first section of the album into the absurd rom that is about to follow. The idea of including two intermezzos in this album came from the Actraiser Symphonic Suite, a collection of orchestrations from the SNES game Actraiser that used this classic "in between" sort of music as a way to reiterate a recurring theme. I use these little movements in a slightly different manner, but the spirit is the same.

This is one of my favorite tracks that I’ve made, and by that I mean to say I’m really amused I was able to come up with this in the first place. It originally wasn’t part of this album at all—it was supposed to be a short jingle for the LOHAC Stock Exchange! But it was too much fun to let go of and soon it morphed into a full-fledged character theme for everyone’s beloved, excitable consorts. The general idea behind the music was this: Jit may have made a silly arrangement of Atomyk Ebonpyre, but what could I do to put it in an even more ridiculous context? And so it was that it became the manic violin and xylophone old-timey television music-inspired (this was my only frame of reference for what I thought stock exchange music should sound like) tune that it is now. And wouldn’t you know it, this type of music turned out to fit the personality of the Crocodiles like a crocodile-fitted glove. In terms of pacing, I thought it was crucial to place this as the first Consort track. The first four tracks of the album all range from relatively slow to moderately less slow, so I really needed something to break out. This is the most energetic and fast-paced of the four Consort themes, so for my money it was the best choice to introduce this section of the album and keep interest instead of having too many low-energy tracks in a row. However, this isn’t to say I was able to resist the temptation to put a slow middle section into this piece, which provides a little break from all the pandemonium. But more importantly, it set the stage for an incredibly silly idea I had to record a bunch of people nakking like maniacs to sound like the Crocodiles, and then have that gradually crescendo into the last section of the piece. In what is of some note, I tried to feature each of the Kids’ instruments in their respective Consort theme. Dave’s usual turntable affair was impossible for me to consider for this style of music, though I’m sure some incredibly talented person could have pulled it off. Instead, the piece uses xylophone heavily, since I was operating under the logic that both turntables and xylophones sort of fall under the percussion category? I will admit it’s a bit of a stretch.

Well, mainly because I wanted something bombastic to use an anvil as percussion in. But I also wrote it because of its importance in the role of each Space player’s planet and their frog breeding duties. Not only that, but it acts as a transition from the darker Breeding Duties to the lighter, more energetic Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009. More specifically, it extends the idea behind Thip of the Tongue to three tracks instead of one; it is a progression from the planet’s frosty beginnings to a sudden and beautiful spring, and this piece heralds that moment. In any case, I ended up with a pretty fun piece that may not be the most impressive on the album, but it definitely serves a purpose and keeps the flow intact. The piece opens with a brass fanfare based off the Folklore theme interspersed with anvil and bass drum hits. The decision to feature the anvil came from Dave’s denizen, Hephaestus, who is referred to as “Lord of the Forge” with little explanation other than he desired access to Jade’s Forge to repair the Caledfwlch. In fact, the entire piece has the feeling of hammering, since harsh gestures in the brass and strings are common in combination with liberal usage of timpani and bass drum. The entire piece is in Dorian, which is a mode I can rarely resist composing in, and it lends a big sense of adventure to it. Formally there is not a lot going on, other than a melody being repeated several times with different orchestration and transposition. An interesting moment occurs when the entire ensemble drops out and a flute solo comes in playing a lighter, more humorous version of the tune before heading towards the climax. All in all, it is a pretty standard theme with a solid tune despite the fact that nothing extraordinary happens for its duration. But hey, we wouldn’t want overkill would we? I was saving that for the next track. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Great LOFAF Expedition of 2009 -References: Pondsquatter, Our Glorious Speaker Track Art: Marina -URLs: https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/great-lofaf-expedition-of-2009 +Duration: 4:55 +References: Pondsquatter, Our Glorious Speaker +URLs: +- https://albatrosssoup.bandcamp.com/track/great-lofaf-expedition-of-2009 +- https://youtu.be/J161hcxSTkg?list=PLia7MqxG6On5M5Z2OtoNgCWzNmCiRcWZo Commentary: Alexander Rosetti: Ah, frog-hunting music.

What better way than to have the music rise from the ashes and the solo clarinet come back to play a new version of the Pondsquatter theme? The idea behind the countless Genesis Frogs is that they propagate one another, each frog producing the next, and behind this lies the idea of infinity and repeated processes. So I wanted the album to do a Mobius Double Reacharound as it were, and end as it began. So the pairing of Speaker and The Vast Croak echoes the earlier pairing of Prelude and Pondsquatter. This piece even has the same structure and general idea as Prelude before going into a full statement of the modified theme. As a result it is difficult to talk about its composition, since it is virtually the same as Prelude only with varying material. The clarinet emerges out of the atmosphere just as before, and a texture-based section builds this time not into a false climax, but into a fuller orchestration of what the clarinet was doing earlier.

This was when the music team's main scoop on the kids was that they were going to have theme instruments that somehow function as their weapons or special abilities as well, although I guess this has only mostly come to fruition with Dave's turntables. Well, I'm primarily a violinist, and Rose's instrument was to be violin/strings, so this was right up my alley. I love just randomly improvising on the violin, exploring different poetic areas, if you will, and coming up with things that sounded beautiful to me. At this time in particular, I was doing that a lot. Hadley's Aggrieve was created first in this case, and I had roughly dictated it, so I knew the notes. I fooled around with it a couple of times, playing with a haunting/sad-but-hopeful tone, and the arrangement that you hear was recorded literally the first time it was played - the first time those notes were played in that rhythm, tone and order was the same time it was recorded. That version, cut, is what you hear in the comic. I reverse-engineered the sheet music from my own recording to do a recording for the album. Unfortunately, I was, and I suppose am still today, new to the recording game, and so there are mistakes I cringe at in both the comic and album versions. Gabe Nezovic's mastering helps to cover most of it, but I still feel kind of guilty about it.

But I had nothing but cheap stuff at the time, so I think this one suffers a lot. Personal regret aside, I composed this as an ode to John, so it features the themes from Showtime and Harlequin. I wanted something big and dramatic, so I went the semi-orchestral route, and completely transformed the context of the two melodies I used to suit the mood of the piece. In particular, Harlequin seems almost unrecognizable unless you're paying attention or have a good ear.

It came about in a strange, almost fateful way, and I think the final product reflects that. It was the first thing that Radiation and I worked on together, and it was through Hardchorale that our friendship started. He approached me with a MIDI file he had made, intending it to be a sort of "boss battle" arrangement of Chorale for Jaspers in the style of Harleboss. He asked if I would be interested in producing it, since at the time he was just starting out and had no means to do so. I agreed, Chorale being one of my favorite Homestuck tunes. So I produced it in a DAW to make it sound "good", and relative to the MIDI file it sounded great, and we were both really happy with it. Radiation got Bowman to record some heavy metal meows, which he apparently almost got kicked out of his apartment for recording and claims to have video of, though I have yet to see it. Once I found out it was going to be on Vol. 5, I added a section to it (roughly the last third of the piece) and at the very end sneaked the Squiddles theme just because I could. I realize that was more of a narrative than a commentary, but it's the history behind this piece that I find fun to talk about more than the piece itself. @@ -77,45 +104,66 @@ Commentary: Track: An Unbreakable Union Artist: Kalibration Track Art: cityinthesea -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union-2 +Duration: 2:30 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union-2 +- https://youtu.be/jc_q5lCjw0Q?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Skaian Ride Artist: Seth Peelle, Andrew Huo Track Art: awildcale +Duration: 3:04 References: Aggrieve, Showtime (Original Mix) -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-ride-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-ride-2 +- https://youtu.be/tD_AfVeEyu4?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: White Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: RainbowCookiz +Duration: 1:25 References: Liquid Negrocity -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/white-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/white-2 +- https://youtu.be/AmsR9n_5xKk?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Octoroon Rangoon Artist: Toby Fox Track Art: enjistier +Duration: 2:11 References: - Liquid Negrocity - The Ballad of Jack Noir - Non Compos Mentis - I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/octoroon-rangoon-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/octoroon-rangoon-2 +- https://youtu.be/mkCprHAqw8w?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Pumpkin Cravings Artist: Seth Peelle Track Art: Freckledoctopus -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings-2 +Duration: 3:57 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings-2 +- https://youtu.be/jnq_L-yTdxs?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Welcome to the New Extreme Artist: Robert J!

It's actually a really simple tune, and I've wanted to expand on it for ages but never got around to it. The entire piece consists of the same simple chord progression, but it's a good, if played out, progression. That and the beautiful harmonies one is guaranteed to find with it is why I think this is one of my more popular songs. It's not as well-composed as I'd like it to be, but it is definitely catchy. And Radiation was responsible for the name, jokingly calling it "crystalanthemums" after I described it sound like a crystalline flower. I decided that was as good a name as any, and I've had the pleasure of infecting its two remixes with such silly-sounding titles. @@ -123,8 +171,11 @@ Commentary: Track: Skaia (Incipisphere Mix) Artist: Solatrus Track Art: razzberrysheep +Duration: 5:06 References: Skies of Skaia -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaia-incipisphere-mix-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaia-incipisphere-mix-2 +- https://youtu.be/IaT2a68dyJo?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito Commentary: Solatrus: (original commentary) @@ -149,8 +200,11 @@ Commentary: Track: Sarabande Artist: Erik Scheele Track Art: Sollay +Duration: 2:18 Directory: sarabande-vol5 -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sarabande-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sarabande-2 +- https://youtu.be/bkzYLa9iR6Q?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito Commentary: Erik Scheele: I’ll never really know what happened to produce this.

The xylophone and pizzicato strings that I was playing around with would become my bread and butter a couple years later. I'm not currently known among the Homestuck musicians as being an orchestral composer, but I've reached the point where there's nothing I like composing more than fully orchestrated pieces. At least as far as soundtrack music goes. And not just fully orchestrated either, there's a certain sense of color I love exploring and I like making lighter sounds despite using a bigger and more imposing ensemble.

The bass progression matches Skies of Skaia's, with more bounce to it, and the melody of Skies of Skaia was quantified/simplified into a repeating motif. It was mostly composed by feel the rest of the way. I actually had writer's block for a while after I reached about 1:02, and it never really got resolved, which is why 1:21 onwards feels kinda awkward and not so great. I kinda wish I could go back and redo it so it sounds better. But what Radiation did with it turning it into Skaian Skirmish worked really well. There was some vague artistic direction from the Big Man that helped with this a little bit. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of "okay, maybe you can bring it down a bit in the middle, then ramp it up for the big finish." So I tried to do that using a new bassline, using wandering skips of third and fourth rather than downwise step in an attempt to mirror Skies of Skaia's original melody, as well as scrambling the repeating sixteenth note motif based on the original melody. Like I said, though, I would say it worked out awkwardly rather than well. It does create a certain mood, which, like I said, Radiation capitalized on. Whoops, I just repeated myself, but in more detail the second time. What's that called in literary device terms? Amplification? Yeah, let's go with that. @@ -374,7 +515,10 @@ Commentary: Track: Throwdown Artist: Steve Everson Track Art: Gene -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/throwdown-2 +Duration: 1:36 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/throwdown-2 +- https://youtu.be/pe-4Gsc6TMI?list=PL6_yub4_EV2SVvGuBwOxgN4aMhISOZito Commentary: Steve Everson: Man, this track goes way back.

Later on, Blackest Heart would be applied (rather effectively) to Gamzee instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Nic Cage Song Artist: Toby Fox +Duration: 2:45 References: - Drop It Like It's Hot - Ah! vous dirai-je, maman - Nic Cage Romance -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nic-cage-song-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nic-cage-song-2 +- https://youtu.be/dxVXLeX9FXY?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Phrenic Phever Artist: Clark Powell +Duration: 3:18 References: Doctor -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phrenic-phever-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phrenic-phever-2 +- https://youtu.be/8rlgjJgyhyw?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: 3 In The Morning (Pianokind) Artist: Erik Scheele +Duration: 4:13 References: Three in the Morning, Doctor, Showtime (Piano Refrain), Aggrieve -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/3-in-the-morning-pianokind-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/3-in-the-morning-pianokind-2 +- https://youtu.be/OesxlnyaBGE?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: A Tender Moment Artist: Toby Fox +Duration: 2:17 References: Atomyk Ebonpyre -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/a-tender-moment-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/a-tender-moment-2 +- https://youtu.be/hyP0FFPcL0c?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Crystalanthology Artist: Solatrus +Duration: 4:44 References: Crystalanthemums -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystalanthology-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystalanthology-2 +- https://youtu.be/3wsZuqG5IY0?list=PLnVpmehyaOFYpSor-2EQjZx8pG-RNSbp_ Commentary: Solatrus: (original commentary) diff --git a/album/homestuck-vol-7/album.txt b/album/homestuck-vol-7/album.txt index 2f3771ed..f6b1520e 100644 --- a/album/homestuck-vol-7/album.txt +++ b/album/homestuck-vol-7/album.txt @@ -11,7 +11,10 @@ URLs: Track: Black Rose / Green Sun Artist: Malcolm Brown Track Art: Vinks (lines), Shelby Cragg (colors) -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-rose-green-sun-2 +Duration: 3:18 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-rose-green-sun-2 +- https://youtu.be/XoFbJllomCo?list=PL42042A1D4689C9E0 Commentary: Malcolm Brown: So it's the music forum discussion, and there's talk about albums representing each of the kids and discussions on what the styles would be.

I’ve mentioned before how awesome it is and how dramatically it has undersold compared to the rest of our material, but apparently everyone is too terrified of its My Little Pony meets Cthulu approach to give it a shot. Trust me, you’ll like it more than you think you will. Anyway, one of the most surprising tracks on that particular album is “Ocean Stars”, a peaceful, mysterious little ditty imagined by Mark with a nautical theme in mind. I thought it had a beautiful little structure, and I guess the song must have stuck with me because at some point I found myself playing its chords over and over on my keyboard faster and faster until I was sure it would make for a great little indie rock inspired track. So I did just that. This song takes its cues most heavily from “Regatta de Blanc” by the Police and “Life in Technicolor” by Coldplay - the meditatively simple rock backup is accompanied by a huge chorus of wordless vocals provided by countless overdubs of Tavia and myself. These middle voices are bookended by the twinkling bell sounds in the high range and the rumbling drums and guitar in the low range to make for a very full mix that really surprised me with its depth. I threw in some slowed-down bubble sounds (the same samples from “Mister Bowman Tells You About the Squiddles”) to create the ocean ambiance, something I’d really gotten the chance to hear on a scuba dive I’d done over the summer. This is another example of a song that has the “just right” feeling about its length. I could probably have easily repeated the vocals endlessly as though I was attempting to induce transcendental meditation - it would probably have had the same effect as “Hey Jude” or any number of other great songs. Owing though to my sense that this album was going to be a long one (my contributions alone come out to more than 20 minutes of music) I decided to capitalize on having achieved the harmony and just let it end when its thought was fully expressed, not unlike the original composition by Mark. @@ -94,7 +118,10 @@ Commentary: Track: Escape Pod Artist: Michael Guy Bowman Track Art: Paige Turner -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/escape-pod-2 +Duration: 2:58 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/escape-pod-2 +- https://youtu.be/GJo7ZH6p6wA?list=PLnVpmehyaOFa9Ssz0RANELG8eSoUeOQiC Commentary: Michael Guy Bowman: Before going into a description of this track, I must make a long-overdue rebuttal to the factors that overshadowed its reception.

The original was a remix of "Skies of Skaia" - I added the motifs from "Homestuck" and "Alternia" because I felt they were representative of the kids' and the trolls' journeys respectively. I mean come on, the title is RIGHT THERE. So yeah. @@ -65,10 +68,13 @@ Commentary: Track: Downtime Artist: Thomas Ibarra Track Art: JNJ +Duration: 2:15 References: - Showtime (Piano Refrain) - Showdown -URLs: https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/downtime +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/downtime +- https://youtu.be/IKnJNJHty2U?list=PLVrrmdafwD4-cD2-ZeRtfnzvRpl2IsrQ0 Commentary: SparksD2145: My younger sister is responsible for my admiration of MSPA: she desrves the first line of this commentary, because she is awesome.

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, like [[A Fashionable Escape]], was for an AU thing, in which sax player and assassin Vriska Serket drifted to this new big city, running into trouble, kickin ass, and jammin on that sax. @@ -505,7 +606,10 @@ Commentary: Track: House of Lalonde Artist: Max Wright Track Art: Red Pen -URLs: https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/house-of-lalonde +Duration: 1:20 +URLs: +- https://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/track/house-of-lalonde +- https://youtu.be/olGAOvLH2AY?list=PLVrrmdafwD4-cD2-ZeRtfnzvRpl2IsrQ0 Commentary: Max Wright: This is a piece that found inspiration in pretty much everything.

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.

It all started when I saw an interesting post speculating what instruments the trolls might've played. There was harp for Aradia, there was guitar for Tavros, and for Terezi it had clarinet. As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to do a jazzed up remix of her theme. So for about two days, I transcribed the melody, worked out some chords, and did up a bassline and drumbeat. It was kind of weird working on this song, since I was using the unconventional 8/4 time rather than 4/4 time. The reason for this was to make the eight-note swing sound like sixteenth-note swing.

Next came the atmospheric elements - the distorted tremolo synth, the piano, the echoing synth bleeps which to me are a signal intended to guide the player, decayed over the aeons the planet has waited for Dirk's arrival, and the nearly-metronomic hat-click to reinfore the senes that, now that he's here, his limited time is rapidly ticking away. Finally I tried a few string melodies for the middle section, but simply nothing says 'towering ancient remains of a lost civilization' as effectively as Erik Scheele's Ruins, so I stole it and added a sort of contrapuntal harmony underneath.

Pat had approached me to write a haunting refrain for a harp playing character, Eliza. This theme would eventually form part of several songs written by Kurtis and myself, and the most prominent of which, Lamental, was made into another song, Infinity's Lament. It is a fun, jovial melody that turns darker as Eliza becomes less sure of herself and her playing.

I pretty much spent the ages 10-12 listening to Daft Punk and Digitalism near-exclusively, and I think the influence shines through pretty clearly here.

With this song, I tried to make it mirror the chain of events that occur to Rose before and after she goes grimdark in the comic. It starts off relatively simple, but quickly goes ominous and unsettling as she stares into the cueball in "Seer: Ask." Then suddenly the song explodes into a blistering drum-and-bass track with booming organs to tell you that, in fact, shit just got real. The song was meant to be reminiscent of "Your Best Nightmare" from Undertale, and I hope I was able to pull that effect off.

With that in mind I sort of set to work trying to find a jazz chord progression that worked. After a bunch of fiddling about at the piano, the one I ended up with draws a lot from "My Favourite Things" and "Nardis", and so I worked out a melody of sorts over that in Ableton. Saxes are pretty much standard for jazz, and I picked a Rhodes soundfont over a piano owing to a distaste for the way a lot of piano patches sound.

My first piece of Homestuck fan music, my first time composing for an ensemble of orchestral instruments, and the uh... second song I ever wrote in a digital audio workstation. I read Homestuck in a feverish marathon in the Fall of 2010 while taking a class about playing in a rock band and recording music (my high school was very cool). Around that time, I'd also been sequencing MIDI files in Anvil Studio (a program which was also the genesis of Bowman's MIDI experience), and had only recently discovered that Logic also had MIDI sequencing capabilities. After falling madly in love with the Homestuck soundtrack, I had an epiphany to the tune of "holy shit, I know how to make stuff like that!" and Atomyk Clockwyrk was thus the result. I've come a long way since then, but it's a testament to the quality of Logic Pro's stock library that I managed to make it sound this good with minimal knowledge of production.

Originally, using pianos wasn't a part of my plan - the step before it was to use violins and Pavellion strings, because violin is Rose's instrument. But I couldn't pull it off so I switched to extremely romantic pianos midway through production. However, if I did take the pianos off I feel this track would've suffered a lot of pain, barring its size.

They were actually made based on a short fruity loop that The Big Man Andrew did, called haunt.wav or haunt.mp3 or something like that. A jam on his theme, logically, would therefore be called "hauntjam," with the opportunity for naming puns including "hauntjelly." His theme appears mostly unchanged as the bassline for the first part of the pieces. At this point in terms of instrumentation, we were still mostly striving for faithfulness to the canon Midnight Crew "band," as can be seen in the Extras page wherein the MC fill 'em with midnight (bottom), so Hauntjam employs trombone, string bass, piano, clarinet, and sax (I forget which because I've lost the file and am not a band person, but I think it was alto). From there on, it was fairly straightforward to write a haunting refrain and then solos for each instrument. I will admit I got a little writerblock'd for the second part, which was sort of a brief modulation to the dominant, so it sounds a little strange. But it still has its own little charm, with the almost annoying trill put in for a spooky ghost-like effect. In Hauntjam, Bowman did some good stuff with bringing out moving parts in the first refrain. In Hauntjelly, Xerxes emphasizes the spookiness by changing instruments for more electric organ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Carbon Nadsat / Cuestick Genius Artist: Robert J!

This one just started out because I wanted a tight ensemble to play something together, something sort of bouncy and light. Before that, I'd been making a lot of pieces that felt unnecessarily large, sticking in instruments for just one little section and not using them the rest of the time, so something lighter with more emphasis on individual parts seemed like a great idea. I had no idea what to call it, though, and it didn't really seem to have much context in terms of the album either, until I was looking through the 2010 calendar that the art team made, and came across the October artwork. Immediately it was like, that was it, the piece both fit the "kids and fun" aesthetic that lasted a while in the beginning, and the artwork fit too, so it achieved purpose and title both at the same time. Instrumentally it fit too, it had piano and bass and bitcrushed drums that sounded somewhat like beatboxing, which were three out of the four instruments the original kids used.

And, in some games I've played, there's a sort of resting area before the final boss, or a small break to prepare yourself before the last battle. This is what spawned Respit, the idea of a light and airy, calming piece. I was also pretty reminded of Kingdom Heart's usage of the "resting area" trope, which was a small chamber with several large crystals around. So, I went with the idea of a large, reflective area, someplace in the dream bubbles perhaps, where the heroes could rest and reflect. This is another one of those tracks, too, that tried to predict a future event but was overtaken as time went on. The concept of the dream bubbles and the long voyage John took fit my original idea well enough, though, so that's what the piece molded itself into being. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Negastrife -References: Showtime (Original Mix), Cascade (Beta), Rex Duodecim Angelus Track Art: Amethyst Barron -URLs: https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/negastrife +Duration: 6:29 +References: Showtime (Original Mix), Cascade (Beta), Rex Duodecim Angelus +URLs: +- https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/negastrife +- https://youtu.be/e5LP87QF9p0?list=PLnVpmehyaOFa4xghnUpmCxz8AtEk-ewlI Commentary: Erik Scheele: And now that everyone is prepared....it's time for the final fight. This track, like the album, was perhaps a bit ambitious to try, a final boss fight with the biggest baddest dudes around, but I made it anyway. It pulls from Showtime, the original strife music, and also (ironically enough) from an idea I had when I was around 11 and wanted to make something spooky for Halloween. Let me tell you, it worked way better in this context than my original plan. - So seeing as this is the final boss fight, there wasn't really any reason to hold back while adding in instruments and layers. To this day, it's definitely the largest piece I've made in instrumentation, and also the first to make me render everything out into separate files because my computer just couldn't handle it. Suffice to say, it's a pretty large piece, for a pretty large fight.

First thing I'd ever recorded, too, and I want to say it was done a few months after Homestuck had started. In my ehad, it fit in as a possible refrain for one of the characters, and the idea always stuck in my head that it could also work as a piece for the very ending for Homestuck, a sort of "all is well" refrain. After two years, I was finally able to make something like what I was thinking and put it in the right context. - Like the Homestuck Anthem, I went with using the four kids' instruments: piano, strings, drums/percussion, and bass, and stuck mainly with those. I also got some help by Mr. Lake of Awesome Beats Inc. who was way better at beats than I am, and he made it way better too.

With the new universe and many new characters being explored, this piece might not work for "the end of Homestuck" anymore, but if anything, I see it as a sort of moving forward. John's journey on that one day, when he turned 13, matured both him and his friends. Like many others, he took the hero's journey, and grew as a result of it, and so this piece could very well fit him leaving his universe and going on to the next, bringing his experiences and knowledge with him, just as well as it could fit him moving past Sburb to whatever adventures lie ahead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Another Chance Artist: Eston Schweickart -References: Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) Track Art: dapperpixel -URLs: https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/another-chance-bonus +Duration: 5:01 +References: Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) +URLs: +- https://erikscheele.bandcamp.com/track/another-chance-bonus +- https://youtu.be/gfw3ALlYnmY?list=PLnVpmehyaOFa4xghnUpmCxz8AtEk-ewlI Commentary: Erik Scheele: BONUS TRACK TIME!

Quiet save for birds, barking dogs, and the subtle but constant drone of faraway highway noise, it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to live. Unfortunately, life in Ashburn can get a bit dull after high school: Friends leave for college and there’s no easy public transportation to the hour-away city, so there’s not much to do outside the house except take walks through the scenic woods and hillsides. If you’re not the outdoorsy type (and especially if you work from home), a reclusive life can be easy to fall into. With this song I intend to convey the strange dichotomy between the semi-natural beauty of Ashburn’s ample wooded landscape and carefully maintained lawns, and the ever-present plasticity that permeates both the town and my necessarily internet-centric lifestyle. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Track: 14121 +Artist: Catboss +Duration: 4:16 +URLs: https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/14121-2 +Commentary: + Catboss: + 14121 kilometers is the approximate distance from Singapore (i.e. where I usually live) to Westwood, Los Angeles, where I currently stay and study. I rounded it up to the nearest number that I could make a tongue-twister out of; it's officially pronounced "one hundred and forty-one hundred and twenty-one." Deal with. Anyway, it's a song about being at home, and also not being at home, at the same time, at all times, and also, places. Because when you think about it, being perpetually [at home] and being perpetually [not at home] are identical states of being. Yes, I'm aware that makes no sense; this song is also about being profoundly disconnected from reality.

The first few days of the semester came just fine, but the following weeks slowly fell into the same, everyday rut and I found my routine pretty quickly tiring. For me, the start of every day would be crossing that main street in the city, which had a walk signal, as most city street crossings tend to. I'd push the button, which would evoke a very sharp click (and honestly, it was pretty satisfying to push; the morning ennui pushed me to observe that) and then the walk sign would come on, very rhythmically, stating, “WAIT.” When it came time to cross, it always repeated, “WALK SIGN IS ON. WALK SIGN IS ON. WALK SIGN IS-” at which point it would abruptly cut off and begin counting. The total time for crossing came to about thirty seconds or so, and I'd put my head down and walk along with the other freshman or whoever came to that street corner to walk at that particular time. As the semester dragged on, I started to imagine songs in order to break up the monotony a little, to the point where I would be walking across the street completely absorbed in my thoughts until the beeping of the walk signal, awaiting its next input, would come in and I'd find myself across the street. North Walk/South Walk encompasses the feeling of that 30 second time period, and indeed, the essential spirit of my freshman year in Norfolk. +Lyrics: + wait

Admittedly, it's just 12 bars that repeat over and over, each time adding in an additional instrument track.

There are no direct, obvious references as to what song corresponds to which character, though there are quite a few indications: each song uses an instrument that is typically associated with one of the kids in a pretty prominent way: whether it’s the piano lead in Heir Conditioning, the solo violin in Dance of Thorns, the bass and flute (shakuhachi, actually) in Atomic Bonsai, and of course the sampled beats and scratches in Time on my Side.

Multiple fake band albums were in progress (The Felt and Squiddles), but at the time I had no idea how to even approach Squiddles (see last week’s post ([[Squiddles in Paradise]]) for details). So, I decided I’d try to do something orchestral. I went with a few ideas, but for some reason I kept wanting to write a song with a swing feel in it, though that’s more Midnight Crew than Felt, yet at the same time I wanted to do something that was clearly Philip Glass influenced. The small scraps I started before finally settling on a starting point (none of them were saved, sorry!) all shared two major common pieces: a ticking clock, and an arpeggio piano inspired off of Clark Powell’s Three in the Morning. Both are still in the song, though amusingly many people didn’t notice the piano. It’s there. In reverse. :D While I was messing around with the early ideas for SotC, I managed to create a nice sounding bass synth, but I ended up replacing the sound with a couple of clarinets to keep the focus on orchestral instruments instead. @@ -46,16 +52,25 @@ Commentary: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Rhapsody in Green Artist: Clark Powell -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rhapsody-in-green-2 +Duration: 3:54 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rhapsody-in-green-2 +- https://youtu.be/O4x3DKbvi1Y?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Humphrey's Lullaby Artist: Toby Fox -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/humphreys-lullaby-2 +Duration: 2:06 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/humphreys-lullaby-2 +- https://youtu.be/N_Iddbz7p-k?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Clockwork Reversal Artist: Thomas Ferkol +Duration: 1:41 References: Clockwork Apocalypse -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockwork-reversal-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockwork-reversal-2 +- https://youtu.be/b9BtuKqfPkY?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu Commentary: Thomas Ferkol: Clockwork Reversal was my second contribution to the Felt.

In the second half I reverse this and have the indistinct melody come afterwards, a "past trail" of the melody that just played. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Baroqueback Bowtier (Scratch's Lament) Artist: Clark Powell -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/baroqueback-bowtier-scratchs-lament-2 +Duration: 4:06 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/baroqueback-bowtier-scratchs-lament-2 +- https://youtu.be/leIKuIH2FIg?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Scratch Artist: David Ko +Duration: 3:10 References: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Ultimate Koopa -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch-2 +- https://youtu.be/3OVpWgisy0o?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Omelette Sandwich Artist: Mark Hadley -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich-2 +Duration: 3:32 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich-2 +- https://youtu.be/a1FivIzXv48?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu Commentary: Mark Hadley: I imagined this song being played by Eggs and Biscuits. Shortly after the melody plays, it stops and rewinds back to the beginning, adding more instruments and speeding up the song slightly. This repeats until it is barely the same song anymore, fast and furious instead of the simple cello and viola duet that it starts with. After all the parts are in place, the parts start dropping out one by one until it goes back to the simple start. I went with the abrupt sound of a tape recorder instead of something more subtle, because Eggs and Biscuits aren't know for their subtlety. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Temporal Piano Artist: Erik Scheele -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/temporal-piano-2 +Duration: 3:49 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/temporal-piano-2 +- https://youtu.be/rzNIMmObP3k?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Time Paradox Artist: Thomas Ferkol +Duration: 3:06 References: Westminister Quarters -URLs: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/time-paradox-2 +URLs: +- https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/time-paradox-2 +- https://youtu.be/96HRN6bFYqU?list=PLlGklfYAdslavhtb5kUefK1V_ki5NvbVu Commentary: Thomas Ferkol: This was the first piece I submitted for an album once I got on the team.

This piece is actually pretty old, going back to before Volume 5, where it was much simpler (playing out more like a round) and with poorer sound quality in general. Like most of my music it was inspired by a similar piece from somewhere else - in this case, the original Bionicle flash adventure game that used to be on the Lego website way back. If you’ve played it, you might notice the similarity, at least as far as instrumentation goes. It had been many years since I’d last even seen the game, long after it fell off the site, so I couldn’t recognise what I liked about the piece and so the imitation I’d made was pretty poor! @@ -59,9 +66,10 @@ Commentary: Track: Requiem for an Exile Artist: James Dever, Solatrus Contributors: Solatrus (production) -References: Requiem:requiem Track Art: Zilleniose -URLs: https://youtu.be/aAphwUVKFm4 +Duration: 2:01 +References: Requiem:requiem +URLs: https://youtu.be/aAphwUVKFm4?list=PLF3092FD8EA59F218 Commentary: Solatrus: I made James’s great composition sound, well, better.
