Deltarune - Smart Race (Cover)

Deltarune: Smart Race (Epic Version)

Berdly's theme and its variation in his boss fight are an interesting contrast. Toby fox has the first note used as a pick-up to the 1st beat, while in the fight it is the down beat. It's a little disorienting to the listener being shifted slightly. If we consider the theme to be more in line with Berdly's personality, then the battle theme can be interpreted to be Berdly acting not completely in character, as he is manipulated by Queen. Queen's theme is very classical/baroque sounding, with a hint of carnival, and I thought it would be cool to have the Smart Race portion of the track start more action/cinematic, but slowly transition toward more classical style music.

The Berdly portion of the track is coincidentally waltz style again. Perfect, since I just arranged Empty Town, and I think I got the instruments to sound even more natural and expressive. That being said, I only spent 5% of total work time on Berdly, because Smart Race is crazy…

I usually slow the orchestra down when the original is a chiptune, because it's usually too fast, but in this case I wanted to challenge myself to make the orchestra play just as fast. I settled at a blistering 145 mph (I mean bpm lol), just slightly down from the original's 150bpm. And I still have instruments play 1/16 notes. It's absolute madness! I knew this was possible to pull off after hearing the boss music in Final Fantasy VII: Remake translated to orchestra with increased speed! As the first fight with Berdly takes place on bumper cars on a track, I had F-Zero GX in my mind the entire time arranging this.

Even at this fast pace, I wanted to bring out the "classical/romantic" sound as I previously mentioned really show Queen's manipulation. I didn't really notice that her theme actually plays in the intro. I just thought it was just some flourish until I listened closely with my headphones. My unique approach here is that I arranged the orchestra section first without any percussion, like I was simply creating Mendelssohn-sounding music, but then later dropped in the percussion layer. Hope you enjoyed this technique because I am proud of how much nuance I put in the "performance." Different parts don't just play in harmonic chords, they have their own counterpoint melodies. I also probably did the most amount of "air conducting" to the music, just standing at my desk and waving my arms to feel each section come and go with the right emotion.

Deltarune Orchestrated will be available on iTunes/Spotify upon completion of the album.

In this take, Susie takes the role of Berdly. She's pretty different from her DR self. In this universe, Susie is a graffiti/street artist who loves to rollerblade and/or skateboard, as well as having chalk in her mouth, perpetually, somehow. In general, she's quite the standoffish punk, yet a good person deep down, despite being a pretty bad influence to that quiet kid in class. She's also protective of Kris, especially after what happened to them... She'll keep them close to her no matter what. The rollercoaster ride is styled after that one banana scene, except there's not a single car and just a bunch of people riding their unique hoverboard. The road is styled after Stardust Speedway Zone.

===== NOTES =====
This song's based on another poll winner, "Crazy Little Thing Called LOVE". A lot of you asked for it and it ended up taking third place in the most recent music poll!

This song takes (somewhat blatant) inspiration from both the Super Mario Kart and F-ZERO soundtracks (as well as using their soundfonts); I think this is actually one of the first times that the idea for the thumbnail came before making the song itself which really helped with figuring out the vibe I wanted for this one.

Of course it had to be Papyrus' kick-ass car, though, there's no way we couldn't've done that.

Normally I'd have the next music poll ready but I may have forgotten to work on one, so expect one sometime tomorrow!

Superstar Racers OST - Training Grounds

* NOELLE!!! YOU'RE LATE!!!
* YOU'LL MAKE IT, BUT YOU GOTTA RUN!!!

- - - - -

This one's regrettably a bit bass heavy. I liked the composition though so I don't wanna change it. Sewnpuard's Soul Buster was a big inspiration. (God rest it's soul) Also just generally the unused game main theme piano sketch.

02. Late

* Places, everyone.
* I will now read a lecture from my late father.
* Let's see here...
...
...
* Kris seems bored.
* Partner with Kris?

I initially wanted to go for a more visual novel sounding approach, but ultimately it just ended up being gingerbread house. Anyway, Undertale motif is bc School uses a motif for the Mayor's town, and Undertale is for Asgore's little city in the underground.

03. Library

* Wandering without a hall pass? How quaint!
* It's dangerous to go alone, haven't you heard?
* Not exactly "smart" per say... heh heh...

- - - - -

Fun Fact: This is the oldest song in the album. I had to fish this out of a Google Drive. Anyway the weird effect on the Square wave was achieved by automating some fruity delay. I think it gets the point across while keeping the structure and vibe. It's also admittedly kinda lazy though.

04. Berdly

* INCONJUNCTIONOFMYCALCULATIONSINADDENDUMTOMYSUPERIORINSTINCTS-
* IDOBELIEVETHATWEAREVERYMUCHINQUITESERIOUSDANGER-
* RUN!!!!!

This composition's kinda basic so I'll just address the elephant in the room. In this AU the most bold creative decision that you're already typing a hate comment about is swapping humans with monsters. Noelle is the only one who remains monster while the others are human (including Kris). I figured this was the only way to preserve the narrative potential of being the only human in a monster society.

07. Scatter

WHEN YET IT SEEMS ALL HOPE HAS FLED
AND SHADE HAS DIMMED ALL LIGHT

THE LIGHTNERS RISE WITHIN THE DEAD
TO CAST THE PRINCE IN ICE

A MONSTER HUMAN AND ROARING KNIGHT
UNITED BY THEIR FATE

THEY FIGHT AS ONE THE FINAL NIGHT
BEFORE IT STRIKES TOO LATE

Pine's Deltaswap. This is just what Pine's Deltaswap did. I just did that again. The one original thing I did was swap the chiptune sections with the orchestral ones but you probably wouldn't have noticed that hadn't I pointed it out.

Based on Egg Reverie. Tried to capture as much angst as possible. It turned out really good. Especially the drop.
