Rowyn Berlan: (co-composer, booklet commentary)

This song comes from a love of jrpgs and their music and I’m kinda sad I lost interest in finishing it... anyway, the story behind the creation of this song came from a spark of inspiration from octopath travelers soundtrack (if you haven’t played the game do yourself a favor and at least listen to the OST) and a thought I had regarding the denizens of homestuck. In short I wanted to make a strife theme for the denizens but as stated earlier I lost interest. Then there’s Rainy my savior, he told me that he wanted to finish the song for stlap 2 if there was room and I honestly love the direction he took the song.

Rainy: (co-composer, booklet commentary)

So I lied about Lifesaver being my last song stlap 2, sorry. Basically, when Rowyn said she could not finish the original demo of Beastly Skirmish, I decided to take upon myself and finish it. I liked what I had heard from that initial and thought it would be a shame for it not to get finished. At the time there were no more slots on the album, so I was gonna put the arrangement on ice until STLaP 3. To cut a very long story short, we wound up needing and extra song and I was more than happy to oblige as it gave me an excuse finish this. I’m not quite sure if I captured the feel of the composition all that well, but I am somewhat happy with what I did for the arrangement. Despite what she might say, Rowyn is pretty good at music making.
