Artist commentary for Anacronus:

Laurent Désautels-Séguin ✑ booklet commentary

Anacronus is a song about "what if Cronus was an 80's cop". So the song is inspired by artists like Waveshaper and Infinity Shred. I tried to mix the style of these artists with the style of Homestuck. At first, there was supposed to have drums in the song, but I found the sound to be more wide, threating and John Carpenter-esque. In the middle part, I quoted Flare by Plazmataz because why not. I made all the sounds with NI Massive. // When I heard about the project, I wanted to do a cool Cronus track... except that he's not really cool. So I made him an 80's cop. I tried to do something like John Carpenter: epic, dangerous and a lot of arpeggios.

rockytoad ✑ booklet commentary

I read that it was supposed to be 80's cop Cronus and played around for a little bit with that. The theme sounds dark and emotional, which prompted me to, humorously, think about that meme where a person is on a stool with a microphone and has faded versions of their face around. Obviously I didn't do that here, but the more I thought about it seriously, the more I thought it'd fit.
