Artist commentary:
Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, from Music and Stuff)
My signature efforts from this album, of course, are "Chorale for Jaspers" and its corollary (or chorale-ary?) "Pony Chorale". They were the first two Homestuck tracks to feature vocals with me as the cat and Tavia as Maplehoof - for this I am proud.
Got a message asking if "Chorale for Jaspers" is based on "Time Is Running Out" by Muse and now I cannot unhear it.
Michael Guy Bowman: (Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music, adapted to text)
Oh, the Chorale for Jaspers - I don't know if it's a perfect chorale, but I did draw a little bit from basic music theory classes I took in high school, to make something that's, you know, got a little bit of a shared four-part thing, in like a pseudo-Bach kind of style. I think I might have broken the harmony a little bit with the descending meows on that. I did break one taboo that we had established, real early on, which was that there were going to be no voices in the comic. There was going to be no person doing any of the character voices, there was going to be no singing, and - right away - I managed to just do something stupid enough that Andrew took it and ran with it and made a big exception for me.
