SplitSuns: (Composer)

I actually started production on this song before the idea for Intermishin developed. Someone had an idea to mash up Liquid Negrocity and We Are Number One, and I jumped at the opportunity after realizing how similar the chord progressions were. Originally this was going to go on a later album, but after realizing that this was originally a Drawing Dead song I decided to move it to this release. I wanted it to begin in a similar way to my first song "The Endless Black" before quickly diving off the rails into pure insanity. I wanted the song itself to have the instrumentation of WANO with the bass and piano providing the Black-bone, if you will (and I certainly shall.) Robbie's distinctive voice tied the whole thing together, and I had a lot of fun chopping and echoing it up throughout the song. To break up the main idea, I put in a Ballad of Jack Noir-esque tune near the end that I think really helped charge the song with some energy. And of course, it ends in a big finish before fading out in the same way as Liquid Negrocity. This track was pretty complicated to produce, but I think it turned out very well in the end in terms of balance!

Fun fact: there's a reference to Siiva's first WANO rip in the song. I wonder if you can spot it...?

Ephemerald: (Artist)

The basic idea here is pretty simple - combine Spades Sleck and Robbie Rotten to get utter hell. The background is meant to invoke the first panel of the Intermishin - you can see the gateways, the flame, the shitty rug, and a clock throughout the image. At first I just wanted to draw a hyperrealistic version of Sleck's shitty head, but along the way that turned into making his head be a reasonable facsimilie of Robbie's own head. I also modeled Sleck's knife off of the knife he wields very early on, but tried to make it look three-dimensional, once again attempting to convey a hyperrealistic shitty drawing. I made this track art before the album cover, and looking back, those principles are clearly echoed in it as well. The Midnight Crew's lines look pretty much as clean as the Felt because of how "hyperrealistically shitty" I went, so I had to go back and .jpeg them up a bit. I didn't do that with this because... I'm lazy??
