Artist commentary for The World as We Know It:

Circlejourney ✑

I was thinking about Earth B before the game began. I composed this track in 2018, hence the old productionless piano soundfont style.

The following commentary is properly placed on this track's main release, Time and Tide.

Circlejourney ✑ booklet commentary

The World as We Know It was initially made for an earlier project, but when that fell through, I repurposed it for this one.

This track is a wistful contemplation of the earth—temporary, fragile, full of vivid sensory experiences, but ultimately lonely.

Would intelligent life from elsewhere know the beauty of the sunset? Would they even be able to perceive it, or fathom beauty at all? The notion must be confronted, then, that we may be the only beings who will ever experience what we call beauty.

This tracks’ gijinka character is inspired by a cherry blossom petal, everyone’s favourite symbol of life’s transience.

NOTES

This track quotes Homestuck Anthem by Clark Powell, released on Homestuck Vol. 5.
