Dapper Dueling - Context

turntechgodtier asked you:

So, I was a HUGE fan of Dapper Dueling when you first put up the original version, but I LOVE what you did with it for the Homestuck music contest. I can't wait to see what you come up with next, because holy crap you are talented. What inspired you with this one, since it's telling me to ask you something? It has a very Firefly, Joss Whedon sort of feel to it, which I personally really like about it.

Dapper Dueling was inspired originally by a Steampunk band named The Cog is Dead - after listening to the song I just linked, I tried to take down the general feel and basic instrumentation, and then work on my own from there. Instruments used in the piece are: - Acoustic Guitars - Accordion - Whistle Synth (fun fact, I'm pretty sure it's the same one as used in Horchestra) - Banjo - Harmonica (1:14, panned left) - Violin/Fiddle - Full string section (1:28) - Maracas, castanets, very very faint snare (you can hear it at 0:10, under the whistle), constant bass drum beat - bang bang wink

I also gave the original Showtime strife mix a few listens for the purpose of structuring my piece - after all, it's meant to be a Strife theme. However, pretty much all sources of inspiration were only used in the parts before the banjo solo; the rest was just me having fun with music.

Let me also point out that it made me extremely happy to see in canon that Jake bounces from side to side before he is about to fight; it was the exact image of him I was hoping for.

Also, while composing, I imagined Dapper Dueling to fit a fight scene similar to this, from Sherlock Holmes (2009).
