Q:Hey I'm new at your tumblr i wonder is it YOU who are playing or writing the songs for homestuck Sorry for my english and stuppideness.

Nothing to be sorry for, friend.

Andrew Hussie writes and draws Homestuck, but the music and sound come from a small team of musicians. I am one of them! This means I wrote and performed some of the music in Homestuck, but not all of it.

If you’re ever unsure of who did what, take a quick check of the sound credits list on the MSPA site. The full collection of songs and albums for Homestuck can be found on Bandcamp, where you can also see detailed credits for all of the rest of the music.

Q:Is there somewhere I can download the short "song" called "foley" that appears at the very beginning of homestuck?

Look for the upcoming Volume 10 bonus track entitled Ten Minutes of Wind Chimes.

Q:Hey, Clark! First of all, great job on all your new music. I plan on buying both your albums, 'cause I think they're amazing! I also wanted to ask; Do you plan on publishing the sheet music/a MIDI for Serenade? I'd love to be able to play it myself.

Unfortunately, I do not have any official sheet music for most of my songs. If I were a decent pianist I would put together sheets myself, but like the Tories and the Whigs, the piano and I have never quite figured out how to properly get along.

Over on the MSPA forums there is a conclave of gentlemen and ladies who are nobly dedicated to transcribing sheet music of Homestuck songs; it doesn’t look like anyone there has tackled of Serenade yet, but you could always ask around! They are friendly people.

My recommendation would be to try to pick out the melody and accompaniment by ear. Serenade has an extremely simple progression that is broken into basic verses and choruses, and the melody itself is simple enough to be played on just about any instrument with a few minutes of figuring.

It’s my track from the new Homestuck album! It’s an ugly, noisy song for Caliborn, because he is an ugly, noisy dude. The gorgeous track artwork is by Elyse!

Buying the album supports the Homestuck musicians! And if you would like to go an extra mile and help support me as well, you can buy my music here.

Dear you,

Enclosed is a gift, but it’s nothing big. Maybe you’re having a cruddy day? Cello is a pretty universal pick-me-up.

You are a beautiful person, whoever you are. This one goes out to you.

Love, Clark.

plazmataz:

An in-progress arrangement of Serenade in a triple meter. The percussion you hear is from knocking on the wood body of a piano.

This was originally for a totally unrelated project, and turns out if I’m not sure what melody to use in a song I’ll default to Serenade. I’m not quite sure where to take it next, though. Maybe cello. I’ll figure it out.

UPDATE:

This song is now available to download! Every purchase helps feed a hungry, doe-eyed Nepeta (and also a starving Homestuck musician).
