DELTATRAVELER Original Sountrack

Castle Crashin' (OLD VERSION) ft. FaeLoPondering - DELTATRAVELER Original Soundtrack

Hell Road

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

My Funky Town - Deltarune REMIX [NoteBlock X @Ruscel Torres + @Nah Tony]

"The fluttering fiend reigns it's strength upon us once again! This time, the battle of the final judgement swelters in the eternal inferno itself. Think you can take the heat, and overcome death itself?"

i like how this came out, i loved the concept of this boss but was so disapointed by the difficulty, patterns and fight in general, and music for his fight in star allies

LUCKILY forgotten lands came out and MORE THAN MADE UP FOR ALL OF THOSE, IT MIGHT BE MY LITERAL FAVORITE FIGHT IN ALL OF KIRBY

fuckin love this character now, and i do like the remake of return to dreamland too. might as well make a kirby song

===== NOTES =====
A long while ago I made some Super Mario 64-themed Spamton tracks, and recently Aus finished the thumbnails for them! He did an awesome job on them, too.

Much like with the NYCTBA, there's not really much context for this one, as these were all just made for fun.

PLAYING MY GAME

Playing through Deltarune Chapter 3 I honestly felt like it was lacking something, it wasn't bad but didn't quite deliver what I expected. Chapter 4 however, nailed everything and sometimes felt like a completely different game to me. With From Now On, it almost sounds like Toby Fox is really trying to change up his style a bit and I love the sound he's been going for.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Everyone please remember to show appreciation to friends, family, and even your enemies, because they built your character. For now, let's talk about Friendship. I always get the urge to just churn out a ton of piano covers for easy views, but I think about the possibility of missing out on an elaborate arrangement like this one, and convince myself not to.

I went full Studio Ghibli on this one, and took a lot of inspiration from Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. The phrasing at 3:55 is the first thing that came to my head, and I totally got that from the Spirited Away theme. In addition, the my instrumentation pulls a lot from the symphonic arrangement of Princess Mononoke. Just so I don't leave out any other familiar influences, other pieces I might have subconsciously took ideas from include Love Grows from Final Fantasy VIII Piano Collections, In my Life from Les Miserables, and some Chinese Christian hymns!

In contrast to my previous piano arrangement An Ending, I decided to have the orchestra play a more active role. Friends come in all shapes and sizes, and having a variety of instruments surrounding the piano like people making themselves known seems very fitting. The melody here appears almost everywhere in the game, and to me the world in Deltarune is a generally peaceful place that's just unfortunately ruled by a BAD GUY. It's a relief at the end when all the subjects come to save you from the king after he takes advantage of your mercy. Slower and softer songs are still a challenge to me, and I can't just cover everything up by having the piano take center stage like I did in An Ending. I find that I have to always keep changing it up with the orchestra, and avoid using the same harmonies or rhythms. To enhance expressiveness of the music, I spent a lot of time agonizing over the ritardandos in the piece, which in a virtual setting is impossible to get just right. You would have seen me air-conducting the music like a maniac, trying to see what exact bpm I need to slow it down to. The tempo chart in my DAW looks like a seismograph!

I made the piano parts much easier to play compared to An Ending, so you're all welcome for that. I didn't feel it was right to make it too show offish, because you shouldn't be overshadowing your friends. For some portions I gave the melody to the orchestra and just have the piano playing a supporting role.
