Deltarune Chapter 2 BIG SHOT (Symphonic Metal Cover) Cover by SSBBMaster

Happy Deltarune Chapter 2 day!!! It's a pure coincidence that I had this track finished today. Once you see this video, I'll be loading up chapter 2 for the first time and see how the new music is!

Does this track sound a lot different than my entire library of music? That's because I'm using a completely new sample library: EastWest Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition. I still love all the Cinesamples and 8Dio stuff I've been using, which is much easier to get that rich, luscious feel right out of the box. However a lot of times I want to be much more specific with the kind of articulation I want out of the instruments, so I used this track to practice on EWHO. Each instrument's base level is a lot flatter, and requires a lot more parameters to adjust to get it to sound how I want, but I can see the potential. I created a new project template that has a whopping 275 tracks!!! 40GB of RAM used if I activate every sample lol. Even the reverb I'm using is completely different, and I'm hoping as I improve, my music sounds more and more like a live performance.

My approach to this track is a pre-cursor to another track I want to take the same approach to that I will arrange soon. See if you can guess what it is (one of the Final Fantasies). I didn't read too much into the context of the town before Ralsei's castle, and just wanted to make a track that romanticizes the town from a time when it was thriving, full of activity and celebration. While you walk through the deserted street and hear this music, you get a tinge of sadness, melancholy, and want to reminisce about the happy days.

I made 2 iterations of this track before I settled on what you hear. The first version was a straightforward soft waltz orchestra, where I listened to a ton of waltz examples from Strauss and Tchaikovsky. That probably would have been a more "faithful" arrangement, but I liked the idea of telling a story with the music. Also, I count this as a "do-over" of my The Legend arrangement. Hopefully you'll find this arrangement more dynamic and interesting. It's admittedly a little overboard, as you can pretty much leave the area in 30 seconds and never hear the music again. HAHA.

DELTARUNE Orchestrated - Empty Town

Here's me doing an impression of jazz music haha. My only real exposure to playing jazz was during high school band, and I barely remember stuff about bass lines, minor 7 chords, syncopation, swing rhythm. I got this sweet SWAM saxophone sample library to try to integrate into an orchestra. Can't believe I'm only now using saxes. I went an listened to a big playlist of jazz music to kinda get the general feel of it. I'm sure not everything I did in this arrangement follows jazz convention correctly, but oh well. 

 

The original track has this bouncing beat that I wanted to preserve, cuz it perfectly encapsulates Lancer's playful mischievous nature. Toby fox's use of jazz is perfect, because while I was playing around with filling out the sound, I wanted to add a bunch of changes to the structure and texture that would make it really unpredictable to the listener. 

 

The funny thing is that I assume most jazz musicians are great at improv and can just fly off with their solos and articulations while being in harmony with all the other players. Being a jazz outsider, I had to instead meticulously sketch phrases and ideas out on my piano, and then translate them over to whatever instruments I thought sounded best. Some of the chords and flourishes I ended up using were a result of just brute force banging on the keyboard, trying out random notes and timing until I felt like I heard something nice. Finally, getting the overall mix to sound like it's in a cozy underground club posed another challenge. Most of my libraries were recorded/designed for large hall space. Even though I took out almost all the reverb, some instruments still sound like they're really far away, like the trumpets and trombones. Just pretend that the jazz stage is too small, so a bunch of players had to sit backstage. I got a newfound appreciation for jazz music. There's elements about it that I can see myself continuing to use in future tracks.

DELTARUNE Chapter 1 Jazz Orchestra - Lancer's Theme

This was supposed to be one of those simple filler tracks that I add to round out the Deltarune arrangement album. As usual, I got too caught up and stuck with the arrangement that it took forever. In the first loop of the arrangement, I kept roughly the same instrumentation and really went for that marching band vibe. Ordinarily I would have just stopped there, but I felt that made the arrangement pointless over the original track. 

 

The trigger for the second loop that inspired me is the intro portion for Final Fantasy V's main theme. I just love how the hi-hat taps in and the arpeggio chords play from the harp. It really got me excited to go on the journey, and I thought it was pretty appropriate for Deltarune's beginning. I pretty much aped the opening completely here and just kept building off it. With some discipline, I'm gonna force myself to spend less time on future tracks.

DELTARUNE Chapter 1 Orchestrated

DELTARUNE Chapter 1 Orchestrated - Beginning

In my planning of this orchestration, I felt that a traditional transition would sound too similar to the original track, especially if I used the same drums. Seam has this pretty chill indifferent attitude to the player, but the melody here is pretty fleshed out. It hints at some rich backstory, and you see them again in Chapter 2. I imagine if you ever made a spin-off with Seam as the main character, you'd see the character theme that while originally a throwaway motif, get spun out and developed even more, and that idea is what I decided to go with.

In my arrangements and compositions, I've usually been afraid of having pure slow songs, partly because I find it difficult to use long sustained notes without it coming off as flat, and it's really easy to expose the artificial sound of virtual samples. Here I forced myself to embrace the slowness and really work at layering and fine-tuning each instrument's expression. I used more Distant Worlds arrangements for inspiration, particularly the Dark World arrangement from Final Fantasy VI.
