A Heaven Broad and Ochre
It’s a song about Titan’s atmosphere, a sky as beautiful as our own.
The song itself samples a song from my good friend RJ.

A Romance of Protons and Neutrons: Download
It’s an instrumental love song about atoms by Jade Harley (and me).
Originally written as part of a now-scrapped Homestuck album project for the beta kids. Afterward this song became the creative touchstone for the entirety of We Are All Satellites, which is my independent release. Romance came together by creative accident, something that fascinated me and got me fired up with inspiration pretty bad. The rest of the album grew around it.
Miranda
Like Miranda, everyone has scars on the surface. Sometimes a violent influence in our lives put them there; sometimes we inflicted them upon ourselves. How Miranda got her scars isn’t as important as the fact that she is still in one piece. She held together despite aggression from within and without, both tortuous geological activity and innumerable surface impacts.
It’s a song about what we’re capable of doing to ourselves and to others.

Mischief
This song was originally made as a commission for Lunise. Some early manuscripts tell us that it might be the best song on the album.

She Needs to Come Home
Cello piece inspired by a Homestuck panel. It was originally made with Worthikids in mind, because he is a genius artist and I know he feels ways about Roxy. Soon after I made it he drew the gorgeous art piece you see in the track art!
I posted an early version of this a good while ago, but this is the much improved final cut. Its permanent new home is on We Are All Satellites.

Harrigan
This is a song about Neptune’s moon Triton. Let me explain.
Medium was an album about imaginary places and landscapes, whereas We Are All Satellites is something a little different; it is about imaginary people. The metaphor I use throughout the album is an astronomical one: a person might be described using a moon or a planet, and their relationships might be called orbits. Each of us orbits something, and that around which we revolve is concerned with an orbit of its own.
Triton is roughly the same size as Pluto, and the two also share an identical composition. For lack of a better word, they are celestial siblings: they probably formed together.
At some point Triton was lost, probably for millions of years. Torn from its sister, Pluto, it hurtled alone until by a miracle of chance it found a new home in the surrogate orbit of the planet Netpune.
This is the song Triton would play if it were a person. Harrigan, now an adult with a loving adoptive parent, can’t help but reflect on the sister he knows he’ll never see again.
