Artist commentary:

Max Wright: (composer, booklet commentary)

Taking the motif from Willow Ascenzo's Rust Servant and completely changing the genre was one of the more fun piece ideas I've had.

Maid in Spades is a piece written for the Handmaid, reimagining the character in a swinging bundle of positive vibes. Now, I could try and justify the choice of genre here by referring to her past, how she is a tragic character with a pure heart, how she was nurtured into evil... but the truth is: this piece doesn't fit the Handmaid in the slightest.

But really, it was never meant to.

dodostad: (track artist)

The song is very uplifting, but you can't really draw Handmaid without making her glare really hard, can you?

Max Wright: (Tumblr, excerpt)

This is a piece I did in reply to THIS remix, by wellmanicuredmusic, of Cobalt Corsair. So this is a remix of Rust Servant, a swingin' romp that uses the same thematic material in a jazzier way. Does it fit the character of the handmaid? Nope, but it was never meant to.
