(When asked by QN about the musical inspirations behind this track...)

Oh woah give me a minute and I'll answer it properly

  • No it's not based on any homestuck track (at least as far as I know, you know, influences and such). The idea was to have a kind of baroque fugue that leads well into that strong church like chord with the lady singing. Not much of a homestuck inspiration and more of a putting my years in music school to use haha.

  • While I have to say that the strong melodic inspiration was, in fact Requiem of Sunshine and Rainbows (you were right lmao), what you can say it's seems like Terezi's Theme, it's again just a continuation of the whole the baroque asthetic. The intro was made after this main section to fit within the theme of the piece.

  • Both the intro and outro was the last thing done. So again not much of a reference to homestuck, BUT the final chord resolution was just me using some good ol' sustain cadence in reference to the cliche of what a song with a church-like-organ should sound like.

also if you need any homestuck related trivia for this song, it has like two other references that are more, about the style and instruments used rather than a direct melodic quote.

  • took inspiration from An Unbreakable Union in respect to the drums. or at least the general energy of the first section.

  • at 1:50 in a way took inspiration from the brass in Earthsea Borealis

  • also at 2:11 it's inspired by Earthsea Borealis.... by the happy "wedding bells" part yeah.

You can tell I love Earthsea borealis by listening to this track lmao

I could talk about the nightmare that was mixing but that's kinda boring and "mixing hell" can describe all my tracks if I'm being honest.

didn't expect to be asked about a song. It makes me really happy to see the interest :3
