Paradox Space: The Soundtrack: Part 1

So, let’s start with You Have A Feeling It’s Going To Be A Long Day. The track isn’t finished, not by a long shot, but it’s getting closer to where I think it should be. This was the second attempt after I aborted the first one.

This is more or less the ‘Intro’ to Paradox Space, so we should be setting up for something grand. But it’s also got John and a bit of goofy prankstering, so it needs a bit of a light sense of humour.

Decided to go for a fairly orchestral piece. A fairly lazy, silly, beginning of the morning trudgery. It’s also an excuse for me to use a bit more of the Spitfire Albion Library I purchased a while back.

We begin the piece, slowly building up the woodwinds and pizzicato as John wakes up. Rubs eyes, glasses on. I break the rule of “No Homestuck Music” references by sneaking a very mildly vague Clark Powell’s “Homestuck Anthem” (It just seemed wrong not to :p). Then off to the bathroom - brush teeth, staccato strings. Style the hair (Insert clumsy square-arpeggio “powerup” sound).

Then start to build up the big finale, but this gets interrupted by some cake-stomping. A short beat to break, then back to building back up - The idea is the cloud John blows slowly reveals the infinite extents of Paradox Space, zoom out to the whole Galaxy. Que Title logo. Cut to black. “Written by Andrew Hussie.” etc.

Like I say, it’s not quite finished, and I think this one’ll be much harder to get right than some of the others, but I like where most of it is just now.
