Thomas Ferkol: (booklet commentary)
Sollux seemed a moody fellow when he was first introduced, so I tried to capture the image he gave. This piece is much different from what I generally made at the time, more complex and faster paced than say Grudgebearer or Blind Legislacerator. There is a lot of contrasting dynamics thrown in, supposed to be reminiscent of his split personality. The piano line where both hands are playing sixteenth notes near the end is my favorite part. There isn't much else to say. It's moody and for mister Gemini.

To me, "Moody Mister Gemini" just screamed film noir. I imagined Sollux dressed like Problem Sleuth, sitting at the bar of a smoke-filled jazz lounge with a cigarette in one hand and stiff drink in the other.
