Homestuck soundtrack appreciation!

[delta_mai]

Ok so this is just gonna be me rambling about how much I love the Homestuck music.  Because it's seriously the cleverest music I've ever heard.  I studied music briefly (at GCSE level) which just makes me realise even more the different techniques used masterfully in the Homestuck soundtrack.

In the soundtrack, not only is there a range of genres (

I noticed that the "Rose" section of At the Price of Oblivion is at least partially a rearranging of Chorale for Jaspers. Is that the melody you were talking about? And despite not really having violin in it (or does it? I'm a music plebe, forgive me), it manages to have kind of a violin sound to it - violin being Rose's associated instrument not just in the music, but in the comic itself

Yeah that's it! It's a keyboard synthesised violin! I was trying to place it so thanks :D

I knoooooooooooow! I didn't realise until someone pointed it out to me then I was like WOAH WHAT :D

I think OSF hints that UU might be related to the squiddles somehow (if not genetically then in some plot way). I really hope she's the squiddle girl whatever that means!

Aw man I'm so glad I'm finally able to talk to someone about this! I didn't know much about the squiddle girls, only the vague knowledge that they existed somewhere within the Homestuck verse. Thanks so much for including details about them :D

Heh, when the Squiddle Video first came out I was followin allll the discussions of the squiddle girls and what they could mean. Interestingly, the maker of the flash started telling people to stop telling each other about the squiddle girls hidden in the flash. Which makes me thing that there was some purpose behind them. Plus the fact that they're HIDDEN in the flash in creepy static despite not actually being creepy themselves
