Artist commentary:
The rock version of "Harlequin" sure made a scene, blasting through people's speakers as the background music for the Green Slime Ghost pogo game. Joseph nails the tough bits along with some sweet harmonics on the chorus.
Michael Guy Bowman: (Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music, adapted to text)
Oh, the rock version of Harlequin. That was such a cool deal. That was I think one of the first really collab-y things I did, where it was like, "hey, let's work with multiple sources, let's take this person's piece" - that was a Mark Hadley composition - "let's take that and let's arrange it some other way," and we got live guitar on that one - not my playing, but, y'know, better than I could have done that quickly. I think it's so funny that when it comes through the speakers, it's just, so stupidly loud... it just blasts you with energy.

[...] And I wanted to work with musicians who could bring their own playing to the work so I leaned on Fenris and Joe Aylsworth.
