Oh, the rock version of [[Harlequin]]. That was such a cool deal. That was I think one of the first really collab-y things I did, where it was like, "hey, let's work with multiple sources, let's take this person's piece" - that was a [[artist:mark-j-hadley|Mark Hadley]] composition - "let's take that and let's arrange it some other way," and we got live guitar on that one - not my playing, but, y'know, better than I could have done that quickly. I think it's so funny that when it comes through the speakers, it's just, *so* stupidly loud... it just blasts you with energy.

The rock version of "Harlequin" sure made a scene [...] [[artist:joseph-aylsworth|Joseph]] nails the tough bits along with some sweet harmonics on the chorus.
<i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt, 7/23/2017)
[...] And I wanted to work with musicians who could bring their own playing to the work so I leaned on [[artist:fenris|Fenris]] and [[artist:joseph-aylsworth|Joe Aylsworth]].

I only mention it with, you know, humility, that we had so much to work with because of Buzinkai. Including [[Doctor]], and [[Endless Climb]]... they were drawing a lot from Cave Story and the soundtrack to that game, which was such an inspiration for a lot of people. I was just glad to have something to contribute to that piece of inspiration, which I think maybe came closer to the grove, on what Homestuck - and anything that's sort of, like, a retro "let's revive the aesthetics of classic Nintendo gaming..." all that sort of thing, is about.

<i>Buzinkai:</i> (excerpt)
I tried towill write something a little more thought provoking this time without too much drummage in the background. [...] I was unaware that [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew]] wanted me to finish the original loop, and someone else remixed a longer ending for it, doing quite a fantastic job.
<i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (excerpt)
"Explore" was one of Buzinkai's distinctive snippets that I arranged - the melodies [they write] are always strong [...]
<i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt, 7/23/2017)
[...] There were guys [...] whose work was ready to go on its own. So I worked with them less and was more interested in people like [[artist:nick-smalley|Nick]] or [[artist:buzinkai|[Buzinkai\]]] whose work was less arranged. [...]
[...] I guess my father being deeply anti-electronic music was a big influence. I wanted to work with musicians to qualify some reality to the work. To me it's very sexy to imagine the power of the ensemble. Composition might just be putting the right musicians in the room. So I practiced a lot more collaboration early on.

Explore was one of [[artist:buzinkais|Buzinkai's]] pieces. RIP, of course. [...]

<i>Andrew Hussie:</i> ([MSPA newspost](https://wheals.github.io/newsposts/newsposts.html#10/11/09) re: [[flash:757]], excerpt, 10/11/2009)
[...] Thanks to [[artist:buzinkai|Buzinkai]] for spinning out a gem of a tune ("Explore", as it was aptly named far before I purposed it in this way), and to [[artist:michael-guy-bowman|Bowman]] for amping it up with all sorts of percussive pyrotechnics. (Bowman is made of magic.)
