Blue Blood Group Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
As evident by the title, this is intended to be a style parody of Blue Man Group, using the themes of Vriska and Equius as a base. I’ve always wanted to write a song using the PVC pipe instrument, and this seemed like a good opportunity.
Apexhalation Listen on: Bandcamp
Couldn't end my run on Homestuck without doing one last John/Showtime track! It's an orchestral smorgasbord of Ballad of Awakening, Lifdoff, Showtime and probably something else I've forgotten. Also makes use of Shepard Tones in the middle to give the impression of a constantly rising melody, (or just to sound annoying)
Didn't quite make the Volume 10 cut, but presented here for your enjoyment! :D
Alternative name: "Shave and a Heircut"
Skaianet 2.0 Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
I just thought Skaianet needed an upgrade.
Heir of Grief 8-bit Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
Opening track on my "Songs That Probably Shouldn't Have An 8-bit Version But Now Do Anyway" EP.
Bane Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
This one goes back a long ways. I wrote the first version of Bane back in 2001, originally envisioned as a final boss fight. I really liked the theme, so I made different versions of it over the years, although the last version I did was about 13 years ago in 2005. Several times I considered making a new version of it for Homestuck, but I always hesitated. I finally decided to go for it, since this was my last chance.
Infinity's Lament Listen on: Bandcamp
(casual sunday question regarding P[S]) if you don't mind me (casual sunday question) okay so, in Veritas' preview video for P[S], "P[S] - Album Preview" and in the description for the video, Circlejourney has mixing credit "mixing by Circlejourney" for Veritas' track, Infinity's Lament that is nowhere to be found on the P[S] bandcamp page for the track or the included booklet; was this an error, and/or an overlooked detail? hopefully I don't sound too rude - Lilith
Hi! I ran it by Veri and he found that funny given that Circlejourney made the booklet themself. I’ve confirmed that Circlejourney did in fact help work on the song, so I’d say it’s probably either an overlooked detail, or something Cj themself decided wasn’t worth including. Unfortunately the particulars are lost to my personal memory, but thank you for reaching out!
Circlejourney: (mixing / production, HSMusic Discord)
forgive me but I am a little amused (meant in the kindest way possible) that y'all ended up going to go these lengths to find this out, because I would happily have told you that I did produce Infinity's Lament and I have the stems to prove it, hahaha
the reason I left it out is because I made the booklet and felt it might be too self indulgent to credit myself. but I should probably just have asked if they wanted to credit me
A Farewell to Arms Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube
P[S] is an album of Homestuck music and remixes from the official music team consisting of tracks that were cut from previous albums - most officially Vol. 10, which was trimmed to 25 tracks because meme numbers. Get it here: Get P[S] here: casualsunday.bandcamp.com/album/p-s
Here's my track, A Farewell to Arms, an ode to Homestuck music, and really a thank-you letter to the entire music team itself. I tried to quote something by every member of the team. Might've missed a couple people, but I tried my best. Frankly, without Homestuck music, I wouldn't be making music today. If you liked the music at all, I highly recommend tracking down what music team folks are doing nowadays - many of them could really use the support!
(Also it's an arms joke.)
