Hi, this is an amateur musician that just doesn't know a much better way to contact you guys. Is it possible if I can help out in some way? I'm planning to go into electronic music production long-term, and I really like the works you guys make.
Hey man, that’s really cool.
As far as collaboration with the team goes, we don’t have too much control in adding others to the project, but we do have a pretty open rapport with the fan musicians for Homestuck. Sometimes I see people react negatively to the actual term “fan” musician, but in all honesty, they are on the same level, if not better, than multiple “official” music team members. The best advice I have for you is to just integrate yourself with the musical fanbase. We occasionally lift from the fanbase for an extra track or two in volume albums.
Thanks for the support and the question! Most of us are pretty open to talking to fans too so if you want to message any of us in private about further stuff, it would probably work pretty well!

Good news, everyone!My long discussed piano album is finally (slowly) being released! Rowing is the first of two short compilations of my recent compositions. Originally sketched for only piano, similar to my first album Sburb, it has now opened up quite a bit in instrumentation!
Rowing features four compositions by myself. If you follow my music blog, you’ve most likely heard each one! The reason is because they were all works in progress toward this album. Two tracks, Adagio and Icarus, are the result of commissions I received over the summer. Meadows was originally a piece I thought of for Homestuck but later readapted for a solo release. It’s a much larger ensemble than the other three. Valse is a piano and cello duet that I am quite proud of!

Spiritwake
The soundtrack for the upcoming iOS video game!
Spiritwake, which was written over the span of late October 2011 to late February 2012, is my second foray into trying out orchestral instruments, and shows how significantly I’ve improved since Prospit & Derse.
Spiritwake’s setting is a post-apocalyptic world centered around spirits and magic, and takes a heavy influence from ethnic cultures, especially Native American. For this album, I chose to follow that path, but with my interpretation and interest in ethnic music infused in there, including West African influenced drums, string section melodies distantly inspired by traditional East Asian music, and an atmosphere that reminds me of both Celtic music and Native American.
On top of that is the instrument selection ranging from modern symphonic orchestral to organic synths to traditional winds and metals, which when combined created a really fantastic texture in the sound.
Needless to say, this is by far the best composition work I’ve ever done, and I am absolutely thrilled that you are taking the time to enjoy it.
Who knows where I’ll go from here, eh? It’s exciting.
Hey, I released an album back on Sunday. It’s a video game soundtrack. Hope you enjoy it!

It’s finally here! Join the consorts on an amphibious adventure through the world of the Genesis Frog.
NOTE: Here the noun “amphibious adventure” means “goofy orchestral music by Alexander Rosetti” and “join the consorts on” means “listen to.” Also “through the world of the Genesis frog” means “at your computer.” Throw money at your screen now.

Prospit & Derse: 1 Year Anniversary Index
Let me guess, you were probably too lazy to even bother going to my blog and scrolling a bit. Don’t worry, I still love you. B)
So here’s an index post of everything related to the Prospit & Derse 1 Year Anniversary series.
Just because it’d be a crazy wall of stuff to reblog every single individual post, here’s the index.
