DELTARUNE Orchestrations by The Second Narrator

Hello, I was always iffy about arranging this track because the melody sounded too fast for an orchestra. My basic self from earlier usually just hands off fast melodies to the violins or some kind of keys instruments and they would just carry the whole thing. That felt wrong for this particular orchestration and wouldn't add much from the original. So my biggest challenge in this arrangement was to preserve the melody in its original form, while being able to hand it off to nearly all the instrument families of the orchestra. It wouldn't be too ridiculous sounding for any section, including brass to have a burst of speed and dexterity right?

In this last year, my master class professor has basically been the Final Fantasy VII Remake soundtrack. The team of composers have arranged 10+ versions of the iconic battle theme, tweaked into many different styles to suit the different locations and contexts of the battles that take place. I kept this in mind and imagined in the full Deltarune game, perhaps there would be many variations of the battle theme. I wasn't going to do 10+ versions of this, so I only explored each of my ideas for a couple measures, then moved on to the next idea. The final track may sound decently cohesive, but the way I utilize the instruments changes from section to section. For example, in one section I may want the piano to support with the syncopated rhythm, and in other places I want it to play like it's baroque period Bach, and have other instruments follow suit or even fight it off.

My orchestral libraries have been able to handle roughly 80% of all articulations, but doing the fast melody while still leaving room for expression really challenged me here. I've always been lazy with the woodwind and brass side, so here I forced myself to utilize samples from 2-3 other libraries for brass and woodwinds, to make them discernable at such high mph, making more use of solo instruments for clarity. I settled at 133 bpm speed for the song (vs 140 in the original track) that I felt is a realistic speed for an orchestra to play that doesn't sound like it's tripping over itself.

The inherent silliness of the arrangement adds to the comedy of the battles that at many times feel more like slapstick hijinks, or even tender character moments. I wanted the instruments to feel like they're goofing off, with none of the intensity of the boss battle tracks I've previously done.

I'm a bit late, but Deltarune Chapter 2 is out! I ended up playing most of it the night of its release, and knew the second I heard Cyber that I needed to do a cover of it. It's been a hot minute since I've done anything Undertale/Deltarune related, but I had a blast making this and might make a few more covers in the future (What can I say, Big Shot lives up to it's name). Hope y'all enjoy!

[Deltarune Remix] Cyber Field

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 - Lancer's Theme (Metal / Rock Cover)

hope toby fox can finish this game. Playing through chapter 01, I feel like the presentation and pacing is much stronger than Undertale. The soundtrack so far is catchy and memorable just like the original.

The Legend sequence in the opening lends itself to much gravitas. For the arrangement, I focused only on filling out the soundscape more. If there was one criticism I have of toby fox's music style, it's that he can repeat phrases a lot without any variation. This is understandable, as his soundtrack is still very extensive, plus he makes the entire rest of the game too. To make each repetition of the theme flow better, I altered the last measure in each playthrough to transition better to the next phrase.

I didn't use any fancy instruments beyond the normal orchestral set. For the final section, I interpreted it as a quartet, and added the double bass and viola with their own parts to fill out the sound. All in all, the final product has a primarily medieval/classical tone to it. This was a bit challenging to do, as slower music is not my strong suit. I have to really work on the articulations and texturing for long notes so they don't sound too flat with the virtual samples.

The games are rigged, but hey, that's okay!

You still get to play!

You came too far to refuse!

Why don't you give it a try?

It's just a numbers game, after all

let the numbers fall

Your HP's gone, you lose!

Come take my spades and clubs and diamonds as your guide to dance and spin elegantly out of harm or into it, both sound like fun! 

A smattering of Chaos, Chaos keeps the world exciting, so let's play and excite everyone!

My heart is joying just to think of what a marvelously un-disagreeablyifying Chaos that's about to ensue!

Step right on over here and play with me, you three, and maybe all of your hearts will start joying too!

Everything is just a game!

Don't tell me you don't know!

Because of course you do!

You just won't admit that you

Would rather stay and play

Then go and save the day

'Cos then the game stops too!

It's allright, I get it!

Oh! let's make the DEVILSKNIFE!

I'm KNIFE now, so, bye bye!

It's time to die your life!

It's time for life to die!

Come back to die again!
 
I'm always up for fun!

Cos when you've reached the end
  
The fun is over!

Lyrics:
HO HO HO!

Hey, Punkaroos! 
I've got a score to settle here with you

(No you don't, boss, you've just met!)

OK So maybe I don't have a score to settle yet

(But you'll get one soon, I bet)

You're heroes, right?

You CLOWNS are heroes, aren't ya? Don't be shy!

(Here he goes, now, don't ask why)

Then we should fight!

Cos guess what, Clowns? Get thrashed, I'm the bad guy!

(He's not bad, just mostly shy)

I just can't wait to drag your sorry faces through the sorry mud!

And then I'll drag them across several more places and leave you clowns as just a bucket of blood!

"Yeah, Lancer Rules!" The crowds will cheer and cheer cos Dad told them they should!

So let's throw down! You clowns are gonna get thrashed really bad! GOOD!

So, how was that?
I've been improving on my evil speech!

(Boss, don't ask them for critique!)

It all fell flat?
You're sayin' I don't practice what I preach?

(Why not show them your technique?)

Check out my wheels!
I've got a bike attached to them on top!

(That is kind of how bikes work)

Just try and seal
Our fountain when you die by wheelie pop!

(Sorry boss can be a jerk!)

So if you think I'm really bad and/or rad, you'd best join the club!

And join it quick, because the only members right now are two ruddins and some jigsawry scrubs!

Also be thrashed, so all the dads and dadesses will join it too!

Now let me help with that whole being thrashed part as I thrash. YOU!

Lancer's Theme WITH LYRICS - deltarune THE MUSICAL IMSYWU

Deltarune Rap by JT Music & CG5

Man, this was one tough track to produce. I spent more time on this than all the other deltarune tracks combined!  Not that this piece was particularly difficult conceptually, but it uses a musical style I am unfamiliar with, and getting it to sound good enough forced me to finally learn how to mix better.

YouTube user "I'm Very Angry it's not Butter!!" (yes that whole phrase is the username) suggested I try to incorporate a bit of Irish Jig into the piece, which I thought about and decided it would be a good fit. I did a bit of research on the instruments used, and listened to a lot of Irish/Scottish folk music, as well as similar sounding music, like Rend Collective, Hiroyuki Sawano's soundtrack for Seven Deadly Sins, and Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers soundtrack. I learned that Jig music is normally 6/8 time, while Scottish Reels use the 4/4 common time, which fits Field of Hopes and Dreams' time signature. While I incorporate some trademark elements of Irish Jig and Scottish Reel, I hesitate to designate my music as that style, as I am all over the place with my arrangement.

Breaking down the original track, there are three distinct parts: the establishing beat, the main deltarune theme, and the bridge solo. The rhythm is easily my favorite part of the track, and hearing the percussion come in while playing deltarune for the first time was just sublime - a much stronger first impression than Undertale's opening. And naturally, this is the area I played around with the most, as the repeating rhythm and motifs could be extended as long as I want, unlike the melody of the second and third parts. It is here where I added the fiddle violin. I created a simple phrase and tried my hardest to jam it everywhere in the track. When you hear it, it's your cue to drop everything and dance! However, with that said, my favorite part of the arrangement is still the middle main theme portion. It's just really catchy!

The setup for the Irish Jig / Scottish Reel sound is as follows. In addition to the fiddle violin, I used the mandolin, accordion, tambourines, Bodhran drums (Irish frame drums), accoustic guitar, cajon, and Kick drums. When mixing the percussion, I supplemented the Cajon/Kick drum beats with a regular drumset. I designed the space of the instruments by placing the Jig/Reel instruments in the front of the stage, with the orchestra behind them. I believe the final sound is much more balanced than the previous THE WORLD REVOLVING track. Because I want to preserve the awesome beat of the track, I finally went to learn and practice how to mix percussion correctly. A common complaint with my arrangements is that everything sounds a bit flat, and a big reason for that is that the drums are never punchy enough. And so here I am utilizing all the techniques I learned: Parallel EQ'ing, Parallel Compression, Saturation, Triggering. I still haven't fully mastered the technique, but I am improving!
