Back to Life suite: First Steps/Back to Life/A World Awake

This is the audio of the full suite of which Back to Life - the song in the video - makes up the middle section.

Thanks again to Clouds and Adam for their performances.

A little commentary:

The basic idea for the piece started after Colours and Mayhem was released (Was that really over 3 years ago!?) and it’s essentially an attempt to rework the Cyan Beast theme into a song intended for Jane Crocker (Cyan Beast was written for John originally).

There are actually some short bits of the writing lurking back further on the blog:

Back to Life

So this is a Homestuck related song I’ve been working on for quite some time, it’s only recently that I’ve done the final part and edited all of the footage from the recording sessions together.

Back to Life is based around a reworking of the ‘Cyan Beast’ theme for Jane set during the exploration of LoCaH during myststuck. Somewhere in my tumblr archive there’s a short video with an early draft of the chorus idea. I think I wrote about 4 different verses for the song before landing on one I was happy with.

This piece features two of my friends on Vocals and Trumpet. A big thanks to Clouds for their wonderful vocal performance and to Adam for not complaining about the key too much.

There are actually 2 other pieces of music that go with this to make a small suite, a short piano introduction and a more orchestral piece based once more around the Cyan Beast theme. I should be posting the full suite on soundcloud soon.
