Broken Rainbow

By the afternoon of January 4, I was pretty much done with the whole album. I'd finished mastering "Rust Apocalyse" the day before and had finally edited "White Angel" and the rest of the tracks to my liking insofar as I'm ever perfectly happy with any finished product of mine (I am inclined to disbelieve any artist who says, "yes I am perfectly and totally content with what I have just created in every way"–just saying). So I had five tracks sitting there, uploaded to Bandcamp, ready for me to publish at the stroke of midnight on January 5, and I thought, there's something missing here–like an intro track.

This is pretty much the same thought process I had when I was releasing Prospero back in August. I don't want the listener to just rush headlong into the meat of the album (despite Rust Witch being a rather slow track). I want the first track to be something that says to the listener, "look–this is what you're getting yourself into.

The title "Broken Rainbow" is a holddover from what the title of the album was going to be before I made "Rust Apocalypse" an eponymous track. The image of a "broken rainbow" was one that I was rather focused on while putting this album together. I feel it evokes the genesis of all these tracks–a bunch of songs about the Ancestors on coloUrs and mayhem–without explicitly relating them to Homestuck. When Ducky Senpai was doing the cover art for the album, I neglected to inform him of my own artistic vision, but somehow, he ended up making a grimy, rusty rainbow paint-splatter background that pretty much captured my idea without me having to suggest anything to him.

I wrote and mastered the whole thing in the span of a few hours. According to lizawithazed, this song is a devil on Audiosurf. Mercifully, it is also short.

“Broken Rainbow” was meant to be a short introduction track that would briefly play over the musical motifs of the rest of the tracks. It’s a short atmospheric piece that quotes a few notes from each composition, “Rust Witch/Rust Apocalypse”, “Teal Hunter”, and “Violet Mariner”. The title “Broken Rainbow” is meant to play on the “coloUrs and mayhem” idea and the many-hued character design of Homestuck while also referencing the idea of a “rust apocalypse”.
