[S] John: Play haunting piano refrain.

[tell me if the track doesn't work]

Released August 9, 2009 by Kevin Regamey and Malcolm Brown The first ~50 seconds were used for this flash. Well that was a nice interlude. Showtime is such a memorable song, it appears later in different tracks, making it John's theme. Thanks to the Unofficial Homestuck Collection, some tracks even have the artist commentary! That's great, I'll be able to comment on it. Also, piano fingers go weeee~

Kevin Regamey: To be honest, I've fallen off the MSPA train pretty hard. This has undoubtedly been the busiest year (or two) of my life, and I am only now returning to reacquaint myself with what the heck is up.

Maaan if only I got more curious, I could have discover Homestuck way earlier. That wouldn't have change the fact that it already ended (or was about to) by the time I discovered Undertale first (back in 2016). Must have been wild to have experienced MSPA during its inception and golden age. That thing huge, so I understand it can be hard to keep up especially when you get off the train a while ago.

Malcolm wrote the chiptune version of Showtime first. I heard it, dug it, and created a piano arrangement just for the hell of it. Like Malcolm has said - earlier on, we didn't necessarily know what we were writing for, so we just wrote whatever spoke to us.

Creative process can be so various and unique from one person to another. They didn't really know in which direction or for what they were writing, but they did anyway. And the chiptune version came first! Crazy.

Tell me your secret guys, please 🥺

I had posted a "Work in progress" version to the music boards, and I received some positive feedback. Positive enough for me to elaborate it into a full piece.

Fuck yeah, MSPA really did sound awesome! Too bad it closed. I mean we've got MSPFA, but I bet for veterans it doesn't feel the same. Is there a similar platform currently existing? Like you post a wip and you got feedbacks then it motivated you to post the full work? No no I'm not talking about Deviantart, been there, done that. Twice. Twitter doesn't showcase art properly, and Tumblr isn't much for like and positive feedbacks, if any feedback really ToT I have put some of my fan art here, but how to get people interacting with it? That'd always been a mystery to me.

As luck would have it, Andrew was finishing up the first playable page of Homestuck just as I posted the full version. As such, I was lucky enough to have the honour of first musical appearance in Homestuck,

Giga chad energy, what a winner!

but most of the credit should certainly go to Malcolm - for defining John musically at such an early stage of the game, and for being the sole inspiration behind this track.

Man, don't discredit yourself! You still did great, you're on the podium even if you're not first place. Yeah, having the skill and honor of defining a character theme is on a different level. But horizontally I would say. There's pride on both. If the chiptune version is well-known and catchy, the piano one is an iconic powerful track, mixing nostalgia, aimless yearning and tenderness. So much emotion that left a mark in each of us. Later to be magnified by the organ pipe version, by da man, James Roach.

Oh, side note: My midi keyboard was misbehaving when I wrote this, so every note of the piece was clicked into a sequencer. D:

I'm not familiar with such programs, but putting them one by one sounds like hell. Rip x) —>

JOHN EGBERT BANGING OUT THE TUNES APRIL 21, 2009?!

After our adventures in John's bedroom and living room these past days, we now get a glimpse into his father's study. Unsurprisingly this room is also filled with harlequins, but this time the more businesslike monochrome harlequins, almost veering into mime territory. There's also a copy of 'The Serious Jester' on the desk. From this we could guess that this is where John's dad does the serious part of clowning - filing his taxes or whatever - if it weren't for the next line.

There is also a CAN OF PEANUTS on the desk. Ha ha, oh DAD. You won't be falling for THAT one again any time soon. A severe peanut allergy is a terrible affliction to cope with.

AGAIN?? Is this suggesting that John's dad, through carelessness at best, has been leaving peanuts around the house to potentially poison his son with? Can we infer that his ceaseless cake baking is a sort of Russian roulette, where most cakes are perfectly safe but there's a small chance any one could have peanuts blended in? Is the divide between John and his father that John does whimsical, ridiculous pranks while his father does 'serious' pranks that endanger people's lives? When are we going to meet this evil clown?!

A father without a pipe is like a strapping roughneck without a toothpick. That is to say, HE IS A RATHER PISS-POOR EXCUSE FOR A ROUGHNECK IF YOU ASK ME.

This is the THIRD time an opinion like this has been voiced by the narration - first the tire swing, then the fire, and now the father, all trappings of the suburban lifestyle in which John seems to live. The narrator explicitly calls themself 'me' here too, suggesting a distinct entity instead of a disembodied narration. Are we reading this from the point of view of an entity who is keeping John homestuck, forcing him to partake in all the trappings of home life? And does this have anything to do with Sburb - as someone pointed out on Discord last night, it's only one letter away from Suburb?

I think that captchaloguing a captchalogue card should cause John to open a portal to the astral plane like with bags of holding in D&D.

But the most exciting part of this update is John playing the piano on page 77 - complete with a song playing inside the animation! The song is Showtime by Kevin Regamey and Malcolm Brown, and it's a very pleasant listen. John is a skilled piano player!! Which means that sooner than expected, I'm getting an answer to my question of 'what is John good at'. I can't believe there hasn't been a single mention of music in this comic until now, and suddenly John busts out this simple but lightweight, airy, carefree melody that he's clearly practiced loads before. What other secrets is this kid hiding from us?

The caption on this animation is even more intriguing - '(Pages including sound will be preceded by [S] in the command.)' Is music going to become a regular part of the comic? Is John playing music going to become relevant to the plot, so we'll get to hear more of his songs, or will music be worked into the story in other ways? This is treading new ground, moving Homestuck further away from a 'traditional' comic, which only makes me more curious about where it'll go next.

SKNAIL - Ouija - Swiss producer SKNAIL is back with a revised version of his jazz combo, five years after the previous album

SKNAIL is a jazz project based in Switzerland, a pioneer in its field: the spearhead of a musical movement combining contemporary jazz and minimal electronica music called "glitch". This combo of five virtuoso musicians, all hailing from jazz, is about to release its fourth album entitled "Ouija". This new opus evolves through nine tracks, mixing acoustic purity and post-electronica vibrations. Ouija is a classic way of entering into communication with the spirit world, a communication modus according to parapsychology without particular danger. SKNAIL however here presents another way of communicating with spirits, with Swiss precision, all in finesse, associated with a lot of energy and emotions, in a clockwise direction. SKNAIL : production, electronics Amine Mraihi : acoustic and electric Oud Yannick Barman : trumpet, electronics Cyril Regamey : drums Guy-François Leuenberger : piano

VR approach of Landscapes in Sydney

Our idea is based on the concept of ‘Landscape’ which is a construct of what is seen, experienced, learned, and subject-specific models born in the mind (Leser, H 2022). We aim to construct a VR based natural landscape for people to experience such a virtual world.

To achieve such an idea and to polish our virtual world, we are going to use Openbrush, in which we can input our scanning and edit as we want. Since we may not focus on one certain landscape, we have to think about mixing various scanning models.

Said Hayek et al. (2016, p. 100): “The level of immersion into the virtual environment depends on the illusion of reality to the senses of a participant”. Thus, we are going to apply some audio effects, including recorded natural sounds and designed sound effects to enhance the immersion level in our virtual world. Besides an approach of visualising feeling is being evaluated.

Le passé antisémite de Marcel Regamey gêne toujours

Le fondateur de la Ligue vaudoise a écrit des articles contre les juifs dans «La Nation». Quarante ans après sa mort, cet héritage trouble pèse encore.

Jusqu’en 1945, l’antisémitisme n’est pas un élément marginal dans la doctrine de la Ligue [vaudoise] qui prend comme modèle la révolution nationale du maréchal Pétain. Au lendemain de la victoire des Alliés, Marcel Regamey met sa judéophobie en sourdine. Alain Clavien [Université de Fribourg] écrit que le fondateur écarte les éléments les plus choquants de sa pensée, sans renier pour autant ses convictions, pour privilégier le fédéralisme, la défense de l’âme et la culture vaudoises. Cette reconversion culturelle est un succès. C’est le début de l’omerta qui permet aux notables de continuer à fréquenter l’organisation jusqu’à aujourd’hui. «Le maître est toutefois resté antisémite, malgré une certaine repentance», affirme l’ancien conseiller d’État Jean Jacques Schwaab qui l’a croisé par hasard en 1975.
