Artist commentary:

Rhyselinn:

Ancestral Anthem is a big huge medley of Homestuck tunes! It loosely tells the timeline of the ancestors and the shenanigans that they went through.

The motifs used, in order--

• Alternia
• Darling Dolorosa + Iron Infidel
• Olive Scribe + Gold Pilot
• Jade Mother
• Indigo Heir
• Cobalt Corsair
• Violet Prince + Purple Bard
• Bronze Rebel + The Lost Child
• The Lost Child + Fuchsia Ruler

then each of the tunes of the album played in hemospectrum order, followed by a reprise of Alternia.

So all in all, it's a medley of 26 songs! It's one of the more ambitious projects I've taken in recent memory, and it took me a number of months to complete, but I had a blast doing it! I hope you guys enjoy it :smile:
