arcaneGemini:

Well hey, would you look at that: my first ever track with the Homestuck Fan Musicians Crew. That's pretty neat.

Let's talk about it shall we?

I've always loved Vriska's various themes and tunes through the HS soundtrack's generous selection of tracks; they're nice, they're catchy, and they're just h*ckin' amazing overall. Imagine my surprise, then, when Spidermum's slot laid unclaimed on this very album, ripe for the picking. I swore on that day that I would create the catchiest distortion guitar-filled, 8-legged bop of all time.

What I made instead was the track laid before you.

I'd like to think that it's pretty snazzy and very Serket, though I have a sneaking suspicion that I may come back to this track l8er and fix it up when I actually have a clue what I'm doing. Yes, it's pretty short and it's kinda flawed in its execution, but I just hope that you can appreciate this humble nerd's first attempt at a somewhat-professional-level tune.

You know what? Since you've gone through all the trouble to read this here commentary, have a free concept guitar riff for this tune. For you it's on the house.

Caitlin Beamer:

I understand why hussie didn't draw spider-mom with hair on her. that took way too much time to have to do it more than once.
