how did spamton get enough money for an orchestra 

I think everything you did is good aside from the vocals. Good job

bro what’s with these goofy ass vocals💀💀

The orchestra was hiding in the garbage can the whole time

hey so can you upload the no vocals version on SoundCloud too?

Thanks to my friend "onemorebrick" for providing the vocals. Follow his lego channel! - https://www.youtube.com/c/anotherbrick

The music for the first encounter of Spamton is really slick, with this catchy motif, much like Megalovania in Undertale. Outside of the rap vocals, there a two main A + B phrases. Like many of his tracks, toby fox's style is to repeat them ad infinitum while messing with the underlying rhythm, and sprinkling flourishes and other fun stuff here and there. So in my orchestrated version, I thought it'd be a challenge to see if I could preserve the phrases intact and use them in differing contexts. The phrases show up as background rhythm, or the main melody, or even just as a counter melody. Whereas the first half follows the flow of the original track, after the vocal rap, I change up the baseline so there's a more of a music progression. Our first encounter is more lighthearted, but the arrangement hints at a darker reunion somewhere down the line (if you choose to go that route!) and Spamton's desperation comes into further light.

The section at 1:40 was the first idea that popped in my head. It's like I could go to a band and just start off playing this, and all the other musicians could easily jam along, and improv to their heart's delight. The B phrase is really familiar sounding and I believe variations of it have shown up in lots of places. Playing this theme with orchestral instruments was tricky because immediately sounded a lot more messy and muddled compared to the punchy original. I didn't want my orchestra to pile it on or it'd end up really similar to what I did for Megalovania. I used a larger ratio of solo patches to try to mitigate that, and used only a drumset for percussion, and the occasional cajon for flavoring. Also, I was coaching my friend on how to replicate the vocal of the original track, but he kept coming off as aggressive rather than silly, so I just rolled with it. LOL
