Remix album of "Doctor" by George Buzinkai
George Buzinkai wrote unique, memorable pieces such as Endless Climb and the aforementioned Doctor for Homestuck. She's an inspiration to all fan musicians such as us, and without his melodies spreading throughout the Homestuck discography - with 30 tracks containing the Doctor melody as a whole - Homestuck wouldn't be the same without her.
Lately, Buzinkai's life situation hasn't been very good, to put it in blunt terms. To say the least, she is not in a situation where she can produce more music for our ears to behold to. And without our help, she might be stuck that way.
So if Doctor, or any of Buzinkai's contributions for that matter, has ever passed through your eardrums (possibly resulting in a permanent eargasm),
please consider supporting her upcoming album. Thank you.UPDATE: Since the release of this album, George Buzinkai has passed away. They were an inspiration to all of us and will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, George.

my thought process went "ok i'll make jhon and the art for doctor is of johns planet and that as glowing mushrooms, i'll draw a glowing mushroom, oops i had it in 32 bit and now i have to make it down to 16 bit so i can actually save it, holy fuck i broke it"

For the longest time, I've felt that the track "Doctor", featured as track number 37 on the album "Homestuck Vol. 1-4" has gone unfairly unnoticed by the majority of Homestuckies and Buzinkai fans alike. Inspiration struck one day, and I decided to give this hidden gem some love. In a creative fervor, I threw open Audacity and sampled a heart rate monitor, musical senses coming to life as I pitched each individual beep. I was on a roll at this point, and a second wave of inspiration hit me where I least expected it. I pulled out my microphone and poured my soul into every voiceclip, the spirit of doctors everywhere flowing through me. With my newly acquired "medical license", I performed invasive surgery on the track, in a manner of speaking, and ended up with something I was more or less happy with. I'm pretty sure the song is only like twenty seconds long, so it wasn't really that hard, but I'm still proud of the achievement. On a side note, Buzinkai actually intentionally made the song to sound like a heart rate monitor, as he revealed in his explanation thing, but I didn't know this until a few days after I made the track. I found that to be a funny coincidence.
Anyway, this song took me around ten minutes to make, so I hope you enjoy it.
These were pretty alright, they were just memes. The first is loss.jpg.
Lambda Doctor Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
koba:
I was struggling with trying to find a good song to mashup with Doctor for the album and I decided to try one of the tracks from Black Mesa Source. I tried a few that didn't really quite work out, but finally managed to settle with mashing it up with Lambda Core from BM:S. The song had a pretty similar tempo and it didn't come across as too different from Doctor so it worked pretty well. Considering I was hoping on making a non-shitty mashup (which will be up to you if it's a shitty mashup of two songs or not), I think this worked pretty well as making a decent and sort-of serious track for the album, and I'm glad I was able to mashup a song from one of my favorite games for the album.

The Doctor Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
So. It's been a month. I've been living in a reclused part of China without any internet access. For the longest time I couldn't stand the thought of coming back to the community tha I let down, but I decided last week that was no way to live so I came back. I was surprised when I came back to civilisation and found literally singles of supportive messages from fans and fellow music team members. I don't think I have confidence in myself yet I can't stress how important those two messages are to me. Especially the one from someone on the music team. It contained software that allows even the most untalented person to make good sounding music.
Anyway I arrived back around a day before these songs have to be released and apparently this album is doctor themed? I don't know what this song is so I just searched for "The Doctor Song" and made a remix of that as I'm not confident enough to make anything original yet. Hope you enjoy.
7 DOCTOR Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
The idea for a Flintstones rip of Doctor was originally by Difarem, but he got busy and coudn't get around to working on the song in time. By that point, though, the art had already been made and it was just too perfect to leave unused. So I loaded up the PXTone project Difarem made (really, he did the hard part of the work here) and threw in some Grand Dad at various points and voices. PXTone is a pretty cool program, though I think I still prefer DAWs where the text on instrument names/labels is actually readable

Cross-Planetary Exploration ~ Moderato 2016 Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
Over the years, I've seen a lot of people notice the melodic similarity beween Doctor, and the original cross-examination theme from Phoenix Wright. The Moderato version of this track was my first attempt at combining the themes, and is pretty much just a Doctor midi with the melody swapped out for the Phoenix Wright one, played back in a midi-to-chiptune converter. In my defense, I actually made this one years ago, more out of curiosity to what it would sound like than anything.
Now, when I saw an Ace Attorney styled track I just knew i had to create something for that. It was a long and grueling process, but overall I'm pumped about how my piece of shit scribbling turned out. Another valuable lesson I learned was that Photoshop's pen tool is an unholy abomination and should burn in a fire. You know that dream you have when your dog runs across the street in front of a car and you call out to it but it doesn't stop running because dogs are adorably dumb sacks of shit? And you wish you could have done something to stop it running in that clearly bad direction but it just kept going anyway? That's what the pen tool in photoshop is like.
I Agree
Savior of the Coasting Rolled Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
The idea for this track dates more or less back to the beginning of the idea of an all-Doctor album. With heavy inspiration from the awesome can you give me a HAND, I decided to try out a combo of SotWW + the RCT theme. After transposing the 4/4 RCT melody in the aforementioned song, from a MIDI dragonChaser kindly provided me, to E♭ minor (let's face it, Toby is the absolute madman), I had some help from MrCheeze and dC tweaking the rhythm so it matched SotWW a little better. JohnJRenns was a big help in getting the bass and drums to sound passable, though it was Makin's suggestion to use Doctor for the melody in the bass in the part where the piano comes in. The project became a lot more fun once I let it turn into a real remix, rather than an attempt to recreate something as complicated as the original -- I never appreciated just how much is going on during the main middle section of the song before. Anyways, I think it turned out pretty well for my first real remix (as opposed to an Audacity mashup).
The song was originally called Slower of the Coasting Roll, but I realized that throwing in Slow your roll memes would make the song a little sillier than I was going for. Getting rid of that also let the name almost rhyme with the original name.
I only really jumped in near the end to add my special flavor of GIMP stupidity to the mix. I worked on "Not Another Doctor Remix", "Moondoctor" (the cave story one) and "Savior of the Coasting Rolled". All three were fairly simple image manips and were pretty fun to do, although it took me way too long to do them. Special thanks to whoever completely fucked the formatting on this document. I'm on mobile and it took me 10 minutes just to set it fucking straight again. Fuck you <3
Join us next time where I will talk about dilbert3, cool ranch, and clown suicide. Probably.
I'd like to see your diploma Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
When I usually make my tracks, I almost always either use the MIDI file for the song I want to remix, or I just come up with a new melody altogether. There's a couple of cases, however, where I deviate from the regular formula and do something completely different. In this case, it was V a p o r w a v e (well, not quite). Honestly, this might one of my favorite ways to make music right now: I import the original song into FL Studio, pitch it up or down, and add some crazy effects to it. What you hear at the beginning of the track is a combination of Fruity Squeeze and Gross Beat on the original track, which are automated to decrease and eventually turn off after the first few measures. While I only have 1 track on this album, I had a lot of fun being a part of this project. Thanks to every single one of you who happened to take the time out of their day to download this!
TL;DR: how to making music is first step wrap bum around dik

The idea was make only a Hospital-game themed Doctor Remix. But actually i remembered Theme Hospital. Later looking from game's OST i just found a song called "Doctor" in his OST. So i decided to do a Double doctor mashup. A funny thing is this game reminds me of a hospital tycoon game. insert i don't like siivagunner joke here
Doctor Remix Remix Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
Not gonna lie, the only reason for this track existing is because of how ridiculous the name would sound. But Doctor Remix is such a weird, experimental song to begin with that I really had no idea how I could possibly do a remix of it... so I just took the easy way out, throwing it in the wub machine and calling it a day. The end result is about as easy on the ears as the original Doctor Remix is, at least.
I wanted to make some really rad DJ are to reflect how sicknasty this beat was, yo. I snagged myself up some dank-ass pictures of gnarly DJing, skateboarding, and surfing and shit. I got slick-ass tubular sound bar things and a wub machine logo.
Medicus Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
I thought soundfont guitars would sound good in FL 12, but I was very wrong. Anyways, I got the idea for this track when I screwed around with my friend's acoustic guitar and thought it sounded decent. The bass works really well with the main melody surprisingly, making for a"meh"/10 piece. Also, :jaedAngery: is the best emote and there is nothing you can say to disagree with me.
I didn't know what medicus meant so I looked it up and apparently it was Roman and they have statues so I put the definition, some Roman statues and some doctors.

I downloaded the Seinfeld theme off the internet then rearranged the sounds to resemble "Doctor". Why? Because I have nothing better to do then to make the universe suffer!
Doc Brown Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
I was bored at work one day when I realized that Doctor and English probably would sound nice together. I decided to make it into a track, and was going to call it 'Doc English'. But then I started thinking about time travel, and the name 'Doc Brown' came to me. The Back to the Future sections of the song developed from there, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned up.
my comment is I edited this out of a virtue's last reward verison of the BTTF poster because it made it easier to trace, also really cool song

There's no horse like a dead horse.
I wanted to make some really rad DJ are to reflect how sicknasty this beat was, yo. I snagged myself up some dank-ass pictures of gnarly DJing, skateboarding, and surfing and shit. I got slick-ass tubular sound bar things and a wub machine logo. Some dope Gaben pics, rainbow audio waveforms and snoop dogg came next. It was looking amazing so far, but I was unsatisfied. Dave Strider is such a righteous mofo I couldn't NOT include him. I added some rad cooltext and a drum bro, and my masterpiece was complete.
Dr. Pepper Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
This is one of those rare times where as soon as I had the idea, most of the details came rushing into my mind on how I wanted it to go. Which is great, because it makes the process way easier! Despite this, lyrics are still hard. I think the biggest challenge was keeping it recognizable as a "doctor" remix despite the completely different chord progression, melody, etc, but in the end I feel like I pulled it off about as well as I reasonably could have. Fun fact: I finally bought a pop filter for my microphone after doing this and Dr. Doctor, PhD, so while there's Plenty of Plosives in this one, if I ever dare to sing again it should sound better next time. (Well, the singing would still be bad, but the recording would be better!)
I was going to pretend that I'm actually capable of singing better than this but was just imitating Stutzman, but we all know that's a lie.
Doctor Robotnik Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
MBI:
Hah, I don't even know what to say. My original intention was to create a "This video contains win" YTP styled Doctor remix. I'd like to think I succeeded to some degree. Inspiration strukc in the form of tha Sonic 25th anniversary Livestream, the annoying buzzing noise ever present giving me a second instrument. After that, I figured since I had included the Sonic 2 era cartoon and the present day sonic, I should include something from the Dreamcast era, hence the Robotnik/Obama conversation.
"Fun" fact, I made this entire thing with a non-functional right earphone. If it sounds off, try disabling your right earphone so that you get the intended experience.

Postdoctoral Research Position Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
One day I asked the chat for ideas on another Doctor remix, and several people threw ideas at me. I deftly avoided all these ideas and decided to make a dance track instead. The name was inspired by Doctoral Degree by Difarem from Volume 1, since that was a dancey Doctor and this is basically a dancey Savior of the Waking World, I named it after what one would do after earning their doctorate.

Doctor, Is He Going to Make It? Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
So, basically, I wanted to make at least one song for the album. I wanted to make something unique in some aspect and since I can hardly compose something original, Doctor played by heart monitors seemed to be reach my shitpost standards. The track was underwhelming though so to add to the scene of a patient on their deathbed, I added the background arguments from a sound effects website. It was really fucking funny to me so I left it at that. Shitpost done. I didn't realize Bin essentially did the same thing with Orderly until writing this commentary, so my fault for being a lazy git and not listening to other people's songs first.
I was going to add a doctor reading the time of death at the end of the song (being 7:20) but it seemed forced and I couldn't be bothered to do it.

Cross-Planetary Exploration ~ Allegro 2016 Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
Now the Allegro version of this track is more interesting. Whereas Moderato was an approximate recreation of Doctor with the PW:AA melody substituted in, this one is the other way around. Moreover, this track is actually a modification of an exact rip of the cross-examination theme, extracted right from the game. Sounds much better that way, don't you think?
(Also, if you were looking for pointless facts - both CPE Moderato and CPE Allegro actually combine Doctor with the Allegro version of the cross-examination theme, so one of their titles is a bit of a lie.)
Tracing over the Cross Examination face thing that happens was incredibly taxing process, since my bowl of pasta was in the way of the drawing tablet as I was trying to wrangle my hand into doing the goddamn things I tell it to do.

Doctor of The Waking Phantasm (This Name Sucks) Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
My first completely serious track for Cool and New, this one exists only because MEME NUMBERS (and I'm glad that it does!) I did 4 songs for Vol 1 and 1 song for Vol 2/II, so naturally I had to do 3 for this volume to complete the mythical 413. You may also notice that all three of my tracks on this one have lengths that are permutations of 413 just to take it that extra mile (including awkwardly cutting off Dr. Doctor mid-phrase to force it to fit!)
By this point I had used up the low hanging fruit with Dr. Doctor and Dr. Pepper, so my original thought was to do a cover with mostly or entirely real instruments. I already had done a cover using nothing but bass guitar back before CaN was a thing, and I figures I could expand that into something bigger. Obviously that's not what ended up happening here at all! This song went through a lot of changes as I was making it, and the final product bears pretty much zero resemblance to anything I was imagining at the start. There are still quite a few real instruments - the acoustic and electric guitars, as well as the bass guitar are all live recordings. But everything else is synths, soundfonts, and VSTis. Even the name wasn't decided until the track was totally complete - it was just "doctor 3.rpp" on my computer until it was done and I realized that some Savior of the Waking World and Penumbra Phantasm had snuck in. After using up all my creativity on the track itself, none was left for the title, and so this shitty name is what we get to live with. Oh well.
I'm also getting REALLY sick of Doctor...
Moondoctor Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
It was a few months ago when i haven't know about any of this fandom and i was just read to about act 6 act 6 part 1. It was fun because i like to mash up things and see if they works. Thats me fetish. So it was just really good together and it was just that. No biggy i basically just rip everything of the quality midis by MR.CHEEZE. mUsescore is also great at syncing midi together because you can just copy and paste. But back then i didn't know much about EQ and instrumentation so i just do it and only care about the chords and melody . Now i knew about all of those but im lazy so i didn't fix much.THANKS

Do You Remember the Doctor Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
On one bright summer morning in mid-to-late july, our JohnJRenns was whistling a tune. That tune is a mysterious number that is repeated aplenty that happens to be seven hundred and twenty I mean Do You Remem8ber Me by Malcolm Brown.
I like that song, I said to myself. Man, I want to remix this song, I said. I wonder how good it will sound with Doctor, I said. man let's throw in some fucking Oppa Toby Style in as well.
So was formed the first version of Do You Remember the Doctor. Then I showed it to people. Then Tirantbacon, AKA Music God Probably Maybe, told me he had some Problems™ with it. So he told me to give him the .flp file for the song. So I did. Then he did, um, whatever a Music God Probably Maybe does, and made this thing, which made the song infinitely better overall. So basically it's his song at this point. And I'm proud of him.
The last one is just a CANWC panel with red comic sans. Jojostuck has much better and much worse art going on, and I did real well on my track art for other stuff. But for the Doctor Album I didn't really care all that much.

FOUR OUT OF FIVE DOCTORS AGREE Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
I was inspired by this brilliant masterpiece of a song to make some amazing track art worthy of its greatness. As the song was bounds and leaps ahead of all music to date, the art had to be just as mind-boggling. I immediately got to work. A long, grueling Google search late I found the perfect stock image. The four doctors standing there in their assorted outfits spoke to me in the same way the song did when I first heard it. I came as fast as I could. I threw the picture right into GIMP and got to work. After a bit of resizing I started customizing it. Getting a picture for Doctor was easy, it had track art. The other 4 were harder. They were all on volume 5, so I had to make my own pictures for them. Plague Doctor was the easiest of those 4, I just found a plague doctor mask and put it on him. As for Medical Emergency and Savior of the Waking World, I used the pictures luminantAegis used in their extensions. I was able to find a descend picture pretty easily. After brainstorming for hours I was able to think of FOUR WHOLE DIFFERENT WAYS to agree. When it came to putting descend in, I realized I had no stock image for it! I had to scroll through miles of Google Images just to find the perfect picture. When I did, the sensation was amazing. I felt a rush of dopamine as i threw the picture into GIMP. I resized it to the corner and started masking the Descend image. The whole thing was looking fine until i realized the big empty gap in the bottom left corner! I quickly got to work thinking of potential things to put there. After a week and several garbage bins full of crumpled paper, I finally came to the obvious conclusion. Just put the title there.

This wasn't very good. Probably one of my worst songs, and you'll be seeing a lot better in later albums. Spoilers, there's more. They're not even that ironic, really.

Doc in ruins Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
It was a rushed song to finish the album with meme numbers and also ruins from JKDFJKundertale i my favorite song. It has a very unique melody and there are no specific chords for it so i put it with doctor and it turns out as i expected. But then i rememebr there is a song called Ruins from JKDSJKVol 5 homestuck too and i just put it there. It doesnt stand out as much but its still pretty fine. It was really late and i was quite tired so i just rip the drums from asdfjasHero's End (Cave Story) and put it in. Nice and neat. It was fun after all. The second part i thought was boring to just put in the same first part so i added Lotus from vol 5 also.
Doct̸̢̨̀o̴̕r̵ Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
I made this the day that songs for Volume 5 were due, when we thought we were one or two songs short from 52 tracks, 52 being a prime CANWC music team M E M E N U M B E R. So, I threw this together in Musescore by abusing MrCheeze's Doctor MIDI, and then took it to Audacity to do the panning. The plugin used for that was 'Random Panning', which can be found on the Audacity Wiki under 'Nyquist Plugins'. I highly recommend it.
So it all started when a few people were asking about who on the team could create glitch art. After I metaphorically raised my hand, we started throwing up ideas for a potential Doctor Remix Remix cover art (which never happened.)
Eventually, interrobang came up to me and asked if i could make Doctor glitch art. I accepted, and after some mumbo jumbo that no one cares about and some pixel sorting, I had a widescreen glitched picture of Doctor. I then put it into a cinematic framing, where the picture stands now.

As you can see from the eight measure of the song, which clearly references René Magritte's "The Human Condition", I've chosen to greatly emphasize the notion of joy as well. Another thing to keep in mind is the odor of the piece: An earthy aroma paired with a metallic ring. This is very much intentional, as it links the two themes I have mentioned in a sort of harmonic matrimony rarely seen in daily life.
Let's discuss the process of creating this work. Crucial to the progression of the song was deciding how to link the sections before and after the bridge portion (which served as a cheeky allusion to the 50 Shades series). I had tried out several options including a reverse phonograph output drive and a theremin turned upside-down before settling on a much more humble choice. You can hear the results for yourself. However, perhaps the greatest hurdle to overcome was deciding on what colors to use for the instrument tracks. To this day I am uncertain if I have chosen correctly.
The few instances where the listener may catch glimpses of the track titled Doctor were added in the interests of "spicing up" the tracklist. this is a running theme throughout the album.
This piece was recorded with a live orchestra. You can reach them here: itsthenewyeah.com
