Witch's Cadence: (booklet commentary)

Breakout is the absolute oldest song I made that went on the album (It’s funny because I’ve had to correct earlier parts of this commentary like 3 times now because I kept getting it wrong). This song was made before I even had the idea for the album in the first place. I just wanted to make some crazy Jack shenanigans song. Originally the guitars in it were shreddage, but I decided to swap them out with some actual recordings of me playing to keep it up to par with the rest of the album (you can find the original version in the goodie bag folder). There is so much Desynced Jack in this song. It starts with “Escapade” played on the iconic DSK Saxophone VST. Then it goes into “Noir”. There’s also bits of “Snake-Eyes!” scattered throughout the track. Once again I had a calm before the storm section where “Desynced Anthem” plays (it just works so well for that). And the finale here, oh boy. I really don’t like to toot my own horn, but I’m really proud of it. It starts off with how you’ve heard this section before, but then right after you think you’ve heard everything, it goes straight to the four chord, where I used that to develop the melodies a bit more (The four is great for developing things further, really gives off a sense of progression). Originally this song was going to be called “Jackknife” but then I found out that there is already a Homestuck song by that name, so I changed it. I chose “Breakout” for a couple reasons.

1. It sounds cool (duh)
2. Gives the vibe of shattering something, Jacks are just good at that
3. Levc’s song “Desynced” often has been compared to another song called “Breakout”, the one that Scott the Woz used to use in his outros, lol (yes I know that is not the origin of the song, no I do not care).

Just seemed like a cool homage.
