HOMESTUCK - EOA5 [S] Cascade - Pre-Alpha

[@Awalys]

I absolutely love unused Flare.

[@warxtron]

This made me realize that Explore and Cascade sound similar

[@antheosenigma]

WarxTron Explore has the same leitmotif as Flare.

[@warxtron]

@@antheosenigma No it's not, two completely different songs.

[@antheosenigma]

Wow, that was fast. Anyway, yes it is the same leitmotif, Listen to the Rolling notes in Explore and Flare, they’re the same. G, A#, B, G, A#, G, B, A#, B, G, (repeat 8 times, initial g shifting down a bit each time, until Measure 7&8 where the whole set shift down.)

[@antheosenigma]

It’s more that Flare has the same Leitmotif as Explore, since Explore came first, but we’re getting into the weeds with that.

[@warxtron]

@@antheosenigma it's still two different chord progressions and melodies. They're similar, but Flare is an original song.

[@thelovelypenguin]

Oooh, I really like the alpha-Cascade combined with the Director's Cut! Would you be willing to make a vid with just that song, pretty please?

[@cryptologicalMystic]

I think I recognize that violin at 1:21... edit, 4/15/19: There are no additional violins at 1:21. There is a violin at 1:51. Either I made a typo, I was hallucinating, or both.

My GOG Flare is good.

I think I hear upward movement in the background 7:33

[@kevinduong8534]

The Explore mix is soo good

DANM son.

danm father, danm indeed.

[@theorangeninja6486]

1:17 is where it gets good

[@CaribouGutSludge]

Holy shit?? This is so cool?? Also, based on the title of green sun/black rose, was s cascade supposed to be the end of homestuck? Thats so weird to imagine.

[@DokterKaj]

No, I think it means what it says: "End of Act [5], Final Part" as in it's the final song of EOA5.

[@CaribouGutSludge]

@@DokterKaj oh, woops, that probably makes more sense. Still an interesting thought, though!

[@BUGFlower413]

That first version of Cascade is absolutely epic!!! Why did they take out the Explore and the Beatdown part?? TwT TwT

[@volnartheunforgiving3952]

The Explore part is WAY too calm, but Beatdown is really cool, it seems like a lot of the changes to this version to get the final version were changing leitmotifs to instead be like 3 notes long

[@strudel1347]

@@volnartheunforgiving3952explore part could’ve been used as a calm before the storm, sort of like an intro and an update on how much has changed since the first time we heard that song

[@BUGFlower413]

@@strudel1347 I was kinda thinking that, like showing what happened before so far, like Jade's death, John about to start the scratch, Dave and Rose going through the Furthest Ring, etc

[@ginger15103]

toby's archive as in the "tobyfox.net/msuics" thing? or did you mean the soundtest?

[@altwheatleymf]

No, it was from a leaked Toby's archive.

[@ajshitshed]

@@altwheatleymf wait, leaked?

[@cease7776]

@@ajshitshed Woah dude

[@JazzyWaffles]

Where did you get these tracks even?

[@tenorHarlequin]

Is there anywhere I can find the remastered version of Explore in the beginning?

[@Zolerian]

From which version/release of the archive this comes from?
