maskofmyownface this is so beautiful. it's hard to believe this even came from a webcomic. i never really thought much of this album back when i was 13 and first heard it. i definitely thought it was beautiful and i loved to listen to it while i showered or relaxed, but i didn't really GET it. revisiting it now really let me realize how much those old moments mean to me. i remember how i felt and how simple life was back during those serene showers when i put this on in the background. this brings me back. Favorite track: Revelations, III.

cassie this completely recreated the way I perceive and exist with music, and inspired my love for it even more. can't put into words how impactful this album has been for me, over all of my preteen & early adult life. It's been 7 years and every time, it's like I'm 12 again first discovering it. thank you for being my comfort during the hardest years of my life, and for still being there now. Favorite track: Creation.

about

Originally written for Homestuck in 2011, Sburb is the first major composition I ever wrote. The pieces were written when I was seventeen, over my junior and senior years of high school and performed and recorded the following summer. The album released about a month before I set off to college and the whole experience was phenomenal.

While I have long lost track with MSPA, I still am good friends with my fellow musicians from the Homestuck Music team including Erik "Jit" Steele, who performed on these recordings.

Looking back on it now, I love how obvious my early inspirations are but I do love the work I was able to create during one of the most tumultuous times in my life. Thanks for listening.
