Artist commentary for Black:

Andrew Hussie ✑ MSPA news post

Additional trivia: if you're wondering where the old-timey clip at the beginning of "Black" comes from, check it out. (1:29) It's from a song recorded exactly 100 years prior to Homestuck. Toby slapped it on the beginning of his remix and I thought "cool" and rolled with it, but it wasn't until now I found out where it was from. Maybe he mentioned it to me once and I was like pfffff, not remembering THAT fact, nice try. This is a good example of how the music strongly influences how I put together the animations.

Toby Fox ✑ toby fox portfolio page 2011 wip - "Finished Tracks"

The secretary to the evil queen (who is the piano player in a gangster-jazz combo in an alternate universe in a prohibition-era dark city he built on the moon) goes crazy and ascends to power. Other crazy stuff happens. My most popular song even though it's old, but it's still pretty badass so... alright!! The voice sample is from Eddie Morton's "I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew."
