First Turn Fold - GOLD PILOT 

Originally the piece was called "The Green Odyssey". A fairly self explanatory title in light of it being about Bec, methinks.

Well, this was used in a Jade flash, so, in a sense, it fulfilled its original intent of being a Bec song.

i need to comment on this, i doubt anyone will read it idk why, but im feeling something weird, i was just seeing some of the more emotional flashes in Karkat Goes To A Convention (no spoilers here tho), checking if Cole had updated it, and i remembered a song from Homestuck, and i wanted to find it. and ended up seeing Gold Pilot again, its been a long while since i listened to it i read homestuck in 2020, (srry new reader stuff lolol.) and sure sometimes i felt the retroactive FOMO of not having been there when it was being written, but i overcame that. Homestuck's cool, i like it, thats kinda most of what i have to say rn, this isnt that much about homestuck. as after after 10 seconds into Gold Pilot, staring at the coloUrs and mayhem Universe A cover, i started feeling this weird feeling, its not catharsis, similar but not quite it; its not really sad, its not happy either; the best way i can describe is that its a very "human" feeling. having trouble identifying it. i guess just, the relationship between humans and art and fiction is just really strange

I'm not into homestuck anymore, but years later I still love this song sm and can listen to it for hours, I'm so happy it exists

Easily one of my all-time favorite songs from the comic. :3

So it ended up being used in the comic in a context that was reminiscent of its original influences as well as The Helmsman. That's pretty nifty.

My favorite song from Colours and Mayhem Universe A. One of the best by far. Shame that it wasn't fully animated in the update. But then again, the fact that Hussie used your song to an [S] update probably was one of the coolest moments ever. Still wish it was fully animated though.

SO IT IS YOU THE GOD WHO CREATED THIS AMAZING FUCKING SONG

The Captors are such underrated characters. Nice song by the way! I love it.

I really liked this song amongst the mountains of others made in the Homestuck franchise. Sad to see the artist hasn't produced anymore.

Art.

This song is actually one of the main reasons I love Homestuck. I love its epic feel, glitchy effects and sad melodies. Comibined together, this is a masterpiece! The song's ending deserves a separate award xD

This is one of the most beautiful tracks ever in Homestuck, how you've worked with the rhythm, the combination of the stings and the xylophone (?) reflect so well the duality within The Psiioniic, but Bec Noir as well, it's, in my opinion, a masterpiece. So I listen to it non-stop every time I read Homestuck :3 Well done, keep making such beautiful music :)

Thank you for writing my favorite Homestuck song

2:03 this song really needs about twenty thousand more views, it's positively wonderful

Just took that Homestuck zodiac quiz thingy and found out I have the Sign of the Pilot. Considering this is like, my favorite piece of HS music, that's pretty cool.

This guy would go on to write the equally amazing Endless Space 2 soundtrack. What a guy!

wow. 6 years... Crazy how time just dose that huh? The whole "not stopping" thing... I still love this song dearly, and actually listen to it quite a lot... Memories man..

Happy 10 years! This has been my favorite song for a while now, I always find myself coming back to it.

You are one of the most criminally under appreciated artists I have ever seen in my entire life. Birds of Wellhammer, Just Hit B and Wake Up are so incredibly unique and finely crafted that it brings a manly tear to my eye.

I'm just gonna leave this here as a thanks to the composer, this has been one of my favourite songs of all time and I've been listening to it since Colours and Mayhem first came out, so thanks for making such an awesome track.

Just came here 6 years later to say how amazing this is!

still a good song. always will be

This song always gets me emotional... So intense near the end, it brings me shivers! Best calm down before I burst a blood vessel... heh

This is one of the best pieces from the entire soundtrack. I love it to bits! You did a wonderful job with it! :D

I wish more people had known you'd created this. It's a beautiful piece of art and fits someone with a dark past extremely well. Keep up the amazing work, no matter what it may be.

This is the best Homestuck song, hands down

Absolutely perfect. It's so ironic that it suits The Psiioniic perfectly even tough you made it for Beckerel. I thought I loved "Purple Bard" the most, but this is seriously my favorite one, plus, I think I like The Psiioniic a bit more than before lol.

I listened over 100 songs of Homestuck but this song is still my favorite.

I can't stop hitting repeat! This song is gorgeous and you should be commended, good sir.

I love this track way too much to explain how good it is. It makes me feel wayy too many emotions at the same time. It…s simply amazing and I kinda wish you'd continue to make more music.

The first time I heard this song, I cried. I love it so so so! Much! It's my favorite song ever. Thank you

Just chiming in the add to the multitudes praising you for this song, it's sincerely impressive. I feel like it's a little TARDIS-sounding, and really puts a sense of impossible pace across. You should be very proud.

I really love this song, it calms me down during tough times :0

I'm honestly just happy I now know who made this song. It's been my fave out of all HS music, and has the best remixes made for it tbh. Congrats sir on the official comic animation several years too late, and I hope your career has gone well in the interim.

Hi ! I recently half fell in love with that song and was searching for the composer, and I found out it was you :). So congratulations for this amazing song and thank you for sharing it freely on youtube. I guess I'll buy the album to show a little support !

I know the bottom corners are supposed to be his collar and stuff, but I can't help but also see them as hands. The angry half is all 'Y U NO LIVE, SIGNLESS' and the sad half is all 'tfw no gf'.

Dude, your music is simply amazing..... The way you use and mix each sound and make them complement each other creating even more sounds is amazing!! All that while keeping their own distinct place in the music, each one of the sounds that bring the song together seem so perfect and carefully fitted in it, none of them seem more important than the others, each have their own space to be heard and they never seem repetitive since their always shifting and combining in incredible ways. It doesn't end there your song just keep on adding, changing and inovating in so many ways and the transitions are done in such a smooth way that its mesmerizing too hear. Most music are made of only a handful of sounds, they end up overusing some of them while keeping others on the shadows of the song. They think that just having a good "drop" (which, in my humble opnion,is just a really bad transition) or repeated catchy beats will make it good, but it just makes it less interesting and easily predictable... Your songs are so unpredictable that i just don't know what to thing of whats coming next, i simply want keep on listening to it, and i guess thats the problem of your song... when it ends :C Its just like what Drakatha1337 said "You are one of the most criminally under appreciated [and known] artist I have ever seen in my entire life." You deserve so much more, like, dude your just amazing and I hope you have a lot of sucess in the things you decide to do in your life

This song is incredible and every time I think baout Homestuck I think about it

Can I say I love you for this magical song? Would that be wrong?

this song is illegally good.

Well, it's not, but it's still nice to know the song is doing so well, even on other people's channels :) I appreciate the acknowledgement, moonman

I just want you to know this is probably one of my top 10 most listened to songs ever in my entire life. I love it so much even long long after any interest in homestuck has faded for me I come back to this song all the time. Just one of the best songs I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. Thank you thank you thank you

this is genuinely one of my fave songs ever

This is my favourite song from Colours and Mayhem Universe A. Thank you for writing this amazing song. ;-;

Honestly one of my favorite songs ever, and I heard it two years ago. This song is amazing, and never ceases in flooring me completely with how wonderful it is

Just bought this disc, and was trying to figure out where I'd heard this before, finally realized I couldn't place it because it was in the animation that ended early. Here's hoping that the animation is played out in full at some point after the gigapause.

The first time I heard this song I cried because it is so brilliant, it's still one of my favourites to this day. Thank you so much for making this :)

I know the the song was originally for Bec. But it just made me love The Psiioniic way more than anyone should. Genuinely one of the most tragic characters in the comics and the fact he was still alive until hivebent while everyone he cared about is dead and long gone. Just oof wish we had more nepeta interactions with rest of the descendants from Signless’ group. Glad we got some Sollux Kanaya and Karkat interactions at least

this is such an amazing song!! definitely one of my favorites, i can't stop listening!! (no really, i've already listened to it five times in the past hour.) for some reason it kind of reminds me of the dreams i've been having lately... but who cares?? it's a good song. even if it is from homestuck. (not that i'm a hater, i just haven't really gotten into homestuck.)

Brilliant! Thank you!

This song deserves more than 700 likes, like seriously. This is beautiful.

I just discovered your channel a few days ago, your composition style is very unique, and I love all of your songs lol. This one is my favorite :>

I really like the texture and mix of analog and digital. Really clean production. Also diggin' the whole build/release crescendo thing going on. Good stuff.

Probably one of the best tracks from the entire webcomic! X3 Keep up the good work bro!

I love this sooo much!x-x

Love This Sooo Much!

I love it :3

This is one of my favorite songs from all the Homestuck Albums, thanks for contributing it.

I'm learning this on the piano and it's just so incredibly beautiful. You're an amazing composer.

Congrats on being in Homestuck~!~!~!~! This has been one of my favorite songs since the album was released and being in such an awesome flash was a very warm welcoming back from the hiatus~!

I can't stop listening to this - it's my favourite song of c&mUA. Great work!

Pure majesty. I’ve actually listened to this so much on the Homestuck Bandcamp that it pretty much always will tell me to buy it when I try to listen to it there.

I know I'm probably late to the party but this is awsome and you're awesome and people who listen to this are awesome too!!

y u no make more music? ;-; you talented person ;-;

I come back to listen to this every once-in-a-while and the build-up for this is still so fucking good

I love you, I repeat this song a million times since 1 year ejjee, greetings from Mexico

i still listen to this on a weekly/daily basis

Oh my word, That is really really awesome! I never got to do anything that cool in color theory :/ I think you might be able to PM me a link if you'd be willing, I would absolutely love to see it!

OMG! im from Chile too, and i hear this song recently, its my fav song of Colours and Mayhem x3

Thank you! I'm so pleased you continue to enjoy it after all this time!

*praising you* This is the best song of the album and one of the best from hs imo

This is absolutely my favorite homestuck song. Props to you sir

No, wow! You did it?!? Wow, just... wow! It was the other day when I first heard it (in the animation of A6A6I1, indeed) and I immediately fell in love with this song. It relaxes me and yeah, I agree, it fits well with both Bec and the Psiioniic, though I tend to think of the latter when I listen to it. Anyway, good job! ;)

This song is my favorite out of the entire album. I always listen to it. Though I haven't been able to watch the animation (stupid phone) I was listening to it when I was reading the update. Keep up the good work with the awesome music

This gives me life. It also got my friend into Homestuck. ;D This is amazing and I love it, it's one of my favorite songs of all time.

i loooooooooooove the cover art!

this is my favorite out of all of them tbh

I freakin' love this song. Great job

Such an ear worm

Thanks yamato! It was pretty surprising, and fun to find out it had been used!

First Turn Fold It shouldnt have come to you as a surprise that this made it into the Homestuck animation. This is incredible and you really have skill, and your vocals are amazing too! This has to be my favorite song from the comic, or at least one of them.

Thank you! I've really gotten into doing pixel art recently, and I had the concept for this come to me in a flash of inspiration.

Well done on making it into a flash

Thank you so much! I'm glad it brings you joy, and that it fits its new role well :D

You did a great job :D

So you are the man behind the song. :D I really like the song and I'm glad hussie chose this song. Thanks for making a song of space(get it cause jade was picked).

This is my daily ear drugs, kudos to First Turn Fold for writing the song. I wuv u. c:

awesome mate, you deserved your spot in the comic :p

one of, if not my favourite HS song

Anyone else think that they look like they’re drooling?

Still listening to this in 2018 it’s one of my favorite songs in Homestuck! So amazing :)

Still the most beautiful song I've ever heard

So how have you been the past 8 years?

I feel really bad, because I used to kind of tune out during this song when I listened to coloUrs and mayhem Universe A, but when it actually played in the flash, I finally listened to it all the way through. It's a great song that I ended up having fun writing a story around (Not a homestuck one though) As for the "Missing Four Minutes," I'd love to see how they fit, as the song can at times be... maybe not "Happy" but peaceful, and considering the few glitch panels we got, it wouldn't fit.

if this song had no title I would assume this would be from OFF's soundtrack! that's how awesome and official this sounds!!

I'm ridiculously disillusioned by the fact that this song was written for bec lol....when I first heard the song, like I read the title and then heard the part at the beginning where it kinda phases through channels and such, and thought WHOA HOLY CRAP but yeah, idk. Now that I think about it makes sense either way. Anyway, my favourite song in the entire soundtrack!!! wow. Just really good.

This song is beautiful and fits psiioniics well. :') i think it has the right feel of living a lonely half-life powering a ship for near eternity.

This is my most favorite song in all of Homestuck.

Why does the Helmsman have the coolest theme in the series? why?? he only shows up for two pages!
