mmmm, it's more in line with that minor motif that's heard in Sunsetter and Versus

Erase:
off the top of my head theres skies of skaia in white, penumbra/sunsetter in versus, non compos mentis in universe a additional mayhem, expiration date in english and probably a few more im not able to remember rn 😂
oh isnt there chorale for jaspers in octoroon rangoon

Rainy:
Okay you're gonna need time codes for the versus cause that's a new one

Versus (consolidated).wav

Rainy:
hmm I don't know how much that is a deliberate quote versus a Tobyism of the time
Cause I've heard section before but Toby does a similar arrangement thing in a couple of his Homestuck songs around this period

Pascal van den Bos:
how exactly is that supposed to be sunsetter/penumbra

Erase:
this is sorta a shitty demo but it gets the idea across i hope

Sunsetter (consolidated).wav

Pascal van den Bos:
ok yeah no thats definitely not an intentional reference
thats just how he composes

Makin:
I hear penumbra incredibly clearly
though I agree it might be a coincidence
the funniest way to put this is that penumbra is not a motif and it's a doctor/versus remix

Pascal van den Bos:
from that arp? i really dont think so theyre not even the same note pattern

Rainy:
I agree with Pascal on this one

Jebb:
Yeah nah i think that's just a generic up down arp

Pascal van den Bos:
luckily i have recreated both of them in the past (awakeningcrap version but it uses the same arp)

arps.wav

Erase:
oh im not even talking about the arps
im meaning thsi thing

Pattern 1 (consolidated)_10.wav

Pascal van den Bos:
right i assumed as much but those are literally two notes in versus i really doubt that would be an intentional reference there

Erase:
idk maybe im wrong but they really feel too similar to be unintentional

Sunsetter (consolidated)_2.wav

Pascal van den Bos:
if youre really going for that as a reference id have to agree with makin and say its a doctor reference
not uhh penumbra

Erase:
i dont see how this is doctor at all

Rainy:
My issue with it being penumbra is that it's a very small snippet of the larger phrase which isn't typical for Toby

Pascal van den Bos:
yeah

Rainy:
like Toby Fox in this era makes his references super duper obvious. This feels circumstantial at best imo

Pascal van den Bos:
2 notes for me is like too little to call a reference, this feels like that baby is you in pokemon thing
