Dandan's Dustbelief Take

Long ago, two races ruled over earth: HUMANITY and MONSTERKIND.
One day, conflict emerged between the two races, causing a war.
Despite the monsters' attempts, humans were victorious.
They sealed the monsters underground by casting a magic spell.

Years later...

MT. AMOCK
201X

After the death of the two royal children, the underground was devastated.
Their SOULs, one human and one monster, were contained and conserved.
However, the KING decided to leave and take the monster's SOUL with him.
Leaving the QUEEN to rule the underground by herself.

In present day...

The myth of the war was passed from generation to generation.
It was said that any human who dared to enter the mountain...

Would never see the light of day again.

Valiant Times

Have you ever heard of Mt.Ebott?
No, what is it?
It's said that the place is cursed. 
W-what do you mean? 
People say that deep inside of it, is a bottomless pit. 
One which you can never escape from. 
Recently, a child fell into it and managed to escape. Once outside, they shared with us: 
The horrors that the mountain hosts. 
Mutants oozing with blood and tar. 
Horrible monsters capable of manipulation and deceit. 
They said that in order to escape, they had to kill their leader. 
 W-wow.. Where are they now?
It's unknown. 
Hey! I have an idea! 
What is it? 
Let's have a little test of Bravery. 
We will enter the mountain, and take turns looking down the pit! 
Isn't that dangerous? 
Don't worry, It'll be fine! 
We'll have lots of fun. 
Oh and ALIZA. 
You're going up first!

[DUSTBELIEF: PHASE 1] Ambivalence A & B (Papyrus's Finality)

Song by https://soundcloud.com/fff-fff-160993031
Dialogue by @Based_Guy01

A REALLY LONG, LONG TIME AGO…
HUMANS AND MONSTERS RULED OVER THE LANDSCAPE.
IT WAS AN UNSTABLE PEACE, BUT A PEACE NONETHELESS.
UNTIL ONE DAY, WAR BROKE OUT AND MONSTERS WERE SEALED UNDERGROUND.
…AGES LATER.
ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY, 
A FORETOLD YET UNTIMELY EVENT OCCURED. 
THE SKY RAN BLACK IN TERROR.
AND THE GROUND CRACKED IN FEAR.
THEN...HER HEART POUNDING,
MOTHER EARTH DREW HER FINAL BREATH.
...
THE WORLD WAS REBORN.
HUMANS WERE BROUGHT TO THE ENLIGHTENMENT BY A HIGHER FORCE.
AS THE RACE OF MAN WAS NO MORE.
..AN ERA OF SPIRITS BEGAN.
GHOSTS OF MEN BROUGHT PEACE TO THE PURIFIED WORLD.
THE WORLD HAD BECAME HEAVEN.

YET...THE MONSTERS REMAINED TRAPPED, UNAWARE OF REBIRTH.
THE MAGIC SPELL THE HUMANS USED SO LONG AGO TO TRAP THEM...
...PROTECTED THEM FROM GOD'S RECKONING.
HOWEVER, A PROPHECY CLAIMS THAT MONSTERS WILL BE FREED
AND WILL BE ALSO BLESSED WITH THE NEW WORLD...
ONE GHOST WILL BE RESURRECTED AND REFORMED INTO A HUMAN TO DO SO.
THEY WILL BE GIVEN THE POWER OF GODS TO MAKE SURE THIS TASK IS ACCOMPLISHED.


ONLY FATE WILL DECIDE BOTH MONSTERKIND AND GHOSTKIND’S FATE.
AND THIS IS WHEN OUR TALE BEGINS.

SCRAPPED - GENESIS

thumbnail by https://on.soundcloud.com/pRbcNWnwAcdYT2467 and https://on.soundcloud.com/bUDc67KzVu6PMiGZ6

TWAS THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING.
THE ANGEL HAD FORMED THE EARTH...
WITH TWO RACES ALONG WITH IT!

HUMANS.
AND US, MONSTERS!

EACH WERE FASCINATING BEINGS.
THE ANGEL HAD CREATED THEM TO CO-EXIST.
YET...THAT'S NOT THE LIFEFORMS HAD IN MIND, YOU SEE.
IF OUT OF FEAR, JEALOUSY - WE'LL NEVER KNOW!
BUT AS PUZZLING AS THAT MAY SEEM, IT WAS THE START OF A WAR.

A WAR TO PROVE WHO WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.
A WAR THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF MILLIONS.
MONSTERS LOST, AND WERE ROUNDED ALL TOGETHER.
TO BE TRAPPED INSIDE A MOUNTAIN POWERED BY HUMAN MAGIC.
NOW, MONSTERS NEED SEVEN SOULS TO OPEN THE BARRIER.
SEVEN! I KNOW! IT'S CRAZY.
SEVEN LIVES NEED TO BE STOLEN.
SIX HAVE BEEN KILLED THUS FAR.
...
BUT HEY, ATLEAST IT'S JUST ONE MORE - AND WE'RE HOME FREE.

HOWEVER...AFTER A GREAT FLASH OF LIGHT THAT BLINDED THE UNDERGROUND DECADES AGO.
NO HUMANS HAVE FALLEN DOWN SINCE.
LIKE...THEY'VE DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE.

AND EVER SINCE THEN, MY GRANDPA SEMI DISAPPEARED TOO...
THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE READING THIS STORY TO YOU, _____!
BUT...I SOMETIMES WONDER...
IF ME AND MY KINGDOM WILL EVER SEE THE SURFACE AGAIN.

1. Genesis

This is it. My magnum opus.

Be not fooled by the upload order. This is CHRONOLOGICALLY MY SECOND EVER SONG. The animation (TO BE PAIRED WITH THIS SONG ON YT) took so unfathomably long to finish, that this could only be uploaded now.
This is a THIRTEEN minute long song. If I still recall, this is around 230 BPM.
Made on LMMS.
128 instruments
Song was so long it was split into two files, conveniently differentiated by the shift in key from B-flat Minor to D-Major.

Those tags are correct. This is a story to tell. Not only of my own, painstakingly creating this song and never stopping in effort, but also of the two brothers, confronted with something they never deserved to face.
The song evaluates the psychological aspects through humanistic and psychodynamic lenses, as well as the biblical allegories and overarching themes of freedom, rebirth. Every instrument, every (recognizable) motif is intentional. Consider when listening: Why THIS particular instrument here? Why is Deltarune/Undertale referenced here?

As you listen, consider YOUR story, too. You hear this music; how do YOU imagine this story is playing out? Let me know in the comments with your timestamps.

Snowdin Sans Encounter. [Dusttale: Dustbelief]

200 BPM
Made on LMMS
~40 seconds in length
This is the in-between for the confrontation, and the final stand.

The slow tempo and absence of heavy electric guitars, drums, or bass intends to serve as the 'rest' between the emotionally comprehensive melodies that precede and antecede it. 

The brother will never give up again. Not this time. 

PHASE 1.5 - RE_FUSE (Dusttale: DUSTBELIEF)

My most recently made song. This is RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW II, the second edition of a song I previously made.

In usual Dandan fashion, this was made a while back after I had a SUDDEN REVELATION in the middle of Physical Education class when I was like, damn, that one song I made could've been improved.

And I was right. This piece is a demonstration of how far I've come with my musical capabilities.

As for the narrative, this piece aims to further build upon the previous song in structure and spirit, but carry out a whole new level of emotional strength. An underlying motif that continues through the whole song should enforce a feeling of familiarity that remains a constant. 
In a way, this song would've been better called "By My Side", as a 'tragic' last stand, rather than a 'determined' one, but as this is the second version of the first song, it's better to draw a comparison between the past and present, and so it is named as it is.

In addition, there was some experimentation with instruments, such as using the "Mellow Piano", as the main melody rather than many other instruments. It created a blend of rock, and certainly made things different, albeit not as strong as an electric guitar or grand piano.
I also used a bitcrushed sinewave as a 'cushioning' throughout heavy parts of the song, that added an indescribable kind of backbone to the song. Will research more on its effectiveness.

And...youtube doesn't know this song is out yet. Those goobers will be REALLY surprised when I release THAT video...(because they won't even know from the title!!)

[DUSTTALE: DUSTBELIEF] Phase 2 - RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. II

This is the optimized/fixed version of my previous song, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW (II). In essence, there were some issues and things to improve, so I hopped right on.
This isn't definitively "better", both versions genuinely have their pros and cons. Let me know which one should be the final song!

In addition, my challenge to you: Name every change you can find! (There are a lot more, even the volume of instruments count!)
I'll give you a muffin for each

I'll start you off: the beginning piano is an altogether different melody. Good luck!
