NyashAlex: (Composer)

Rarely has a work of fiction ever had so great an impact on our culture as Moby Dick. Even amongst those amongst us who have the misforunate of being born outside the United States it is considered a cultural landmark. A significant portion of praise for the novel is for the characterisation of its... Deuteragonist, or antagonist, or something else? Just mentioning Captain Ahab summons a vision of unstoppable, furious vengeance. On every page of the novel his anger and hatred for the white whale burns. JohnJRenns serves a similar function to the whale in the Homestuck fanmusic community, being an unholy and incomprehensible terror that we all flee at the name off. Of course, the novel would not be complete without copious referencing to the most famous novel of *that* era, namely Homestuck by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Some even consider the character of the white whale to be loosely based off the character of Sawbuck from the earlier Homestuck, both being huge masses of blubber which show little to no indication of intelligence. This piece of music was composed to represent the slow, onerous march of Sawbuck, unstoppable, his forward progression inevitable, no wounds slowing him down. Under any circumstances, do not attempt to attack Sawbuck, for this will backfire. Could you face off in a head-to-head against this time-bending monstrosity? Killing him is no walk in the park, it's safe to say.
