If this song had Snow Halation in it, it wouldn't be the worst song on the soundtrack anymore.
StarlightCalliope: (Composer)
Cookie, please, we all know that We Are Number One is a vastly superior Siiva meme to Snow Halation. Snow Halation would make this the worstest song on the soundtrack. Anyways, I'll start talking about the song itself. Originally, I was inspired by how one Homestuck Musician, (if I recall correctly it was Jit,) said that he felt like Crystalanthemums was going to be Jade's Land Theme. As this was to be a remix for Jade's Land reveal, my original starting concept was, "Frost but with Crystalanthemums." I had started a version of this concept back before CANH2 had even been released, although I mostly reworked this old version from the ground up. The only thing that really remained unchanged was the Violin Arpeggio. I had planned to use Frog Forager as a continuation melody to Crystalanthemums at this time, but that melody didn't quite seem to fit the song, and I instead replaced it with a change to the Drum Beat at that point (said drum beat pretty heavily inspired/referencing Crystamanthequins or whatever the name was for the one in [S] Make Her Pay. One part of this song I am overall dissatisfied with is the Cymbals that come in near the end of the portion referencing Courser. I originally had a version where I had arranged the Cymbals in a manner where I was happy with them, but this version was poorly mastered and I was too lazy to transcribe what I had done for the old version. Anyways, I feel like this song was very much useful in helping me figure out how to better arrange orchestral percussion lines and to not make them completely uninteresting.
