Bundertale

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.

Oh my god. This Game. Great gameplay, great characters, great sense of humour, great story and most importantly, AMAZING soundtrack. One or two remixes just wouldn't cut it for this game, so with a little help from my friend Carlos (insaneintherainmusic), I put together a medley of some of my favourite tunes from the game! I didn't include all of them though, hence the lack of Undyne's theme, ruins theme and "It's showtime". If you haven't played this game yet, do so ASAP!

This medley is dedicated to the beautiful Haedox for gifting me this game on steam! Thank you so much, bro!

Original lyrics by me:

I'm not giving up
No I'm letting go
And it's so dark outside
I'm gonna make it glow
You can't just run away
I know it's not too late
I don't care what they say
I'll keep on reaching for my

Hopes and dreams
Locked away
Racing toward
The light of day
Can't we stop
This pointless war
Back to how 
It was before

Undertale Stronger Monsters Dual Mix

I finally managed to arrange my most frequent request. This one was really tough for me to figure out. I a version that I did that sounded pretty awful, so I had to scrap everything and restart from zero. One reason this took me a long time to figure out was because I was unable to understand the flow of the track. The track builds up to a climax early on and then kind of drifts a bit before ending. Luckily, I found a sound that I liked and went with it.

The opening of the fight scene has Asgore treating the player with compassion, offering the player multiple opportunities to step away, because he is reluctant to do battle. We can see the pain from his past experiences that caused him to take the path that he chose. The music reflects this by being less a "boss theme." It is somber, yet resolute.

The big showcase of my orchestration is the thunderous percussion. The majority of my time was spent picking out the various drums I wanted to use, and then coming up with an assortment of rhythms and loops to use in the track. In the original track, the drum beat never changes, and the melodic phrases repeat a lot. As those familiar with my style, I never want to repeat a phrase in identical fashion. The result is what I would call a chaotic but beautiful mess. I don't even know what kind of style my arrangement should be labeled as. There's some Eastern Asian influence, a bit of medieval folklore, and some "Hams Zimmer" and "Hiroyuki Sawano," sensibilities. There is a lot of energy and excitement in my version, which may spoil you from enjoying the original track!

Resurrected Memories

Undertale Orchestrated - Bergentrückung & ASGORE

Conceptualizing this piece was actually pretty straightforward. I spent lots of weeks just playing the track in my head, imagining how it would sound in grand fashion. I found myself subconsciously tapping out different kinds of rhythm ideas to replace the drum pattern of the original. After it was a couple sessions of hammering out my percussion ideas inside Studio One. This track uses about 20 percussion instruments total. If this was played by a real orchestra, they'd probably have to perform this in a warehouse!

This track is split into the obvious three acts. In the the original track, the motif in each act was repeated quite a few times before moving on to the next part. I wanted to avoid having my version have any noticeable repetition, so I layered counter-melodies on top of the original, and extended them out with some transformations. This along with the instrumentation allowed the "story" of the music to really come out. This is how I would interpret it in the context of the battle.

The first act is jumping straight into the battle. I treat Undyne as the "True Hero, as she draws on her DETERMINATION for newfound strength, in order to battle you, the murderous player. The opening starts out focused on intensity. Both of the player and Undyne are jumping around, trading blows, with little time to think. As the battle progresses, we reach the second act, the escalation of the battle. The original tune here has a more distinct melody. It is also the same tune used in the pacifist/neutral run to encourage the player not to give up. Ironically here in the genocide run it now applies to your opponent, who is the one fighting for good. I imagine for the player character to go on a rampage, she must be dead inside and void of compassion. Therefore, the emotion here all comes from Undyne as she fights bravely.

Obviously the battle does not go in Undyne's favor, and as she slowly succumbs to more attacks, we see the desperation in her eyes. Perhaps both the player and Undyne remember in some alternate universe where they shared some good memories together. They were actually besties, and went on adventures together. What happened to that reality? Instead here they are fighting to the death. Kinda tragic, I would think. I thought it would be fitting to have the strings soar above the original rhythmic melody, as if Undyne was crying out from the depths of her soul. But alas her end has come. At the very least, her sacrifice served a purpose in helping the others of her kind escape you, the evil player.

Overall, I drew heavily on Hiroyuki Sawano and Hans Zimmer's style, most notably Zimmer's Mombasa track from Inception. I made a couple callbacks to my previous Undertale tracks, including the one motif I added in "An Ending." This is the last boss/battle music I'll arrange from Undertale. From now on, any future arrangements I'll do will be the more soothing and serene tracks. That'll balance out my entire musical reinterpretation from Undertale.

Undertale Orchestrated - Battle Against a True Hero

This was the first piece I wanted to arrange, along with Field of Hopes and Dreams (I haven't figured out how to approach that one yet!). What's really exciting here is that I got to build further on techniques and instrumentation I developed from pretty much all my previous Undertale arrangements. Plus I spent a considerable amount of time balancing every instrument, EQ'ing every track to get it sounding good.

My takeaway from the original track and the context of the boss fight is a mix of shock, terror, and some mischief. You know while ascending the palace that the king is not going to grant you access to the fountain, but what surprises you is his disapproval of his son. Not only does he show such disdain, he even relishes in his villainy. This creates a strong motivation to the player to abandon the pacifist method and go all genocide on him.

Hopefully you can tell from listening to my arrangement that I had so much fun with the percussion. After doing the I Am Setsuna track, No Turning Back, I had an itch to make another track with percussion that is intense but still quick on its toes. Nearly all of toby fox's original rhythm is preserved, and I merely layered on top of that.

For others wondering how to orchestrate music, think of it as remastering a game. You don't just copy the same notes and substitute orchestral instruments. That's like slapping on some high-res textures and calling it a day. Does anyone enjoy playing the Final Fantasy games ported to mobile with the smoothed out graphics? You have to remodel everything from scratch with more detail. So for percussion, a trick I use is to subdivide the original rhythm, and then cut it up and distribute it among a bunch of instruments. Give the big booming drums the down beat, and the higher frequency instruments the syncopated and faster 16th note beats. Here are all the percussion patches I used in this song.

Spitfire HZ01 Percussion - Boobams, Paper Djuns
Spitfire HZ02 - Sony Stage Drums
Soundiron Clacks - Bamboo Pole
Cinesamples CinePerc - Taikos, Concert Toms, Tambourines, Tubular Bells, Crash Cymbals, Ensemble Claps + Snaps
QL Stormdrum - Ambient Largeness, Lord of Toms Ensemble, Clacks (Taiko), Spring Drums

I used to only use the stage mic versions of the patches because I naively thought that was the best when trying to recreate the sound of a full orchestra. Here, I experimented a lot with close mic versions, and I discovered that with the right control I can really get the punchy sound of the drums out without having to raise the volume out. This extended to the melodic instruments too, and allowed me to give the cello the same percussive rhythm.

I repeated the first half of the song because it's my favorite part. I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to explore without repeating the entire track. I didn't want to rush into the more intense variation right away because it deserves a build up. If you listen closely, the percussion rhythm in the first run-through is inverted before being restored at the repeat at 1:35. Another first for me in this track is pairing up instruments from different families. I used to keep the woodwinds, strings, and brass separate in their motifs, but here I had them all make friends and do parts solos together, so you'll hear match-ups like Harpischord/Horns, Piccolo/Trumpet, String/Percussion, Brass/Choir. Hope you guys enjoy this!
