Artist commentary:
SplitSuns: (Composer)
My goal with this song was to take the original and see how many leitmotifs I could stuff it with. They're designed to match up with the cloud visions Jade experiences in the accompanying Flash. Well, except for that one part where RCT plays. For the last few seconds I came up with my own chord progression that, looking back on it, sounds kind of like Falling Down. Disclaimer: any resemblances to other video games are completely coincidental.
Ephemerald: (Artist)
I liked the imagery of the Skaian clouds, and although this scene isn't in the actual Flash this song is based off of, I thought it felt appropriate. It was a pain in the ass removing all the stardust clogs from that panel (the actual one is super glitchy) but I'm proud of the effect.
Also - clouns. Let's talk about them. You see, when I was a young child, I would go to the beach every summer and head on down to the boardwalk, full of amusements and rigged games. And there were clowns there, that held pies and honked their noses. I was terrified, and my whole family kind of shrugged. They hated clowns. I hate clowns. You should hate clowns.
...Wait. I was supposed to be talking about clouns. With a ""u."" Silly me. Just substitute clown for cloun and you'll get basically the same thing.
