A remix of the rather...minimalistic theme of W.D. Gaster, turned into a hypothetical battle theme for the guy.  Had lots of fun with this one, and hopefully I managed to capture this guy's spooky, freaky essence with the theme.

By popular demand, here's an external download link because I can't seem to figure out how to get Soundcloud's cursed download system to work properly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gs5rtz2zmpczvq/Dark%2C%20Darker%2C%20Yet%20Darker.mp3?dl=0

And here's an hour-long extended mix if you prefer your jams to be seamless and uninterrupted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4e8u0spd69270bg/Dark%2C%20Darker%2C%20Yet%20Darker%20%5BExtended%20Mix%5D.mp3?dl=0

Because we all needed a remix of Sans and Papyrus singing something, and I chose to remix Megalovania and Tokyo Teddy Bear together. xD I'm not sure why, but it's cute so there ya go. OvO

[Lyrics]

[Papyrus] 0:50

I gave mercy,
Found forgiveness,
Believed that somehow,
I could still save your soul,
I spared you,
and my death is a symbol,
Now I know your heart's dead and cold,
Although I'm shattered,
My strength will live through him,
Who won't give in to your hold,
Now face the judgement,
Of my own brother,
He won't have mercy,
On your soul.

[Sans] 1:21
Now there's no laughter here,
Silence exists all around,
This empty world you've brought,
Will damn you to the ground,
I thought you once were good,
But motives came to be clear,
I gave you trust and love,
and you created fear.

[Sans] 1:50
Your determination will not faze me,
So come at me with all your will,
Know my spirit's stronger, burning brighter,
With the ones, you've killed,
I am known as vengeance, 
Retribution,
And I'll drag you to Underhell,
Cause a kid like you,
Should not exist,
I know you won't be missed.

I don't know if this is the real music, but it sounds good.

Dark, Darker, Yet Darker - Gaster's Pacifist Battle Theme

MP3 and FLAC available for Patrons. ► https://www.patreon.com/thesecondnarrator
Includes both looped and non-looped versions.

After recently playing through Undertale (full pacifist run), I knew I had to orchestrate one of the tracks. It is amazing how toby fox was able to design, code, write, draw, and compose pretty much all of the game. And what's even more impressive is that toby fox's soundtrack is catchy, memorable, and puts lots of AAA composers to shame. Like seriously, I can barely recall any tune from any recent game off the top of my head except for Undertale. All composers should learn the lesson that melody trumps over any musical technical proficiency.

The Heartache track was the first moment in the game that convinced me I was in for something special. After being pampered by the motherly Toriel, the protagonist breaks her heart by insisting on leaving the ruins to return home. During this battle, the protagonist is essentially awakened, and is forced to stand up and fight for her survival. This mood of excitement tinged with an air of sadness is captured perfectly in the music.

In my arrangement, I kept the original version pretty intact, but with the instruments replaced with orchestral counterparts. The original track is already very fleshed out, with a catchy tune, varying rhythms, and an awesome bass line. The 6/8 time that toby fox uses is hard to describe, as it sometimes sounds like 3/4 and other times like 2/4, but it works pretty well. One thing that's hard to preserve is the snappiness and clearness you get from 8-bit sounds. It's really easy for an orchestra version to sound very muddy, as you can see from all those other orchestrated arrangements floating out there. I did my best playing lots of staccato and substituting group samples with solo instruments so that everything can still sound as clear as possible. I really wanted to preserve that bass line for its energy, so I listened to the original track at half speed and EQ'ed out all the other frequencies in order to copy it note for note. Then I brought it to the forefront of the track, having cellos, violas, violins, and flute all have a go at it. I was glad I had time to get used to using drumkits in my previous FFIV track. Here I used them in combination with timpanis to get that modern and classical hybrid sound.

In addition, as I usually like to do, I added a 3rd arc to the music, as I felt that together, the track would cover the entire arc of the protagonist's battle with Toriel. I used the theme that appears previously in Toriel's home as a kind of reminder of her compassion, and also the potential peaceful life that the protagonist chooses to reject. This injection of emotion is something that toby fox uses too in the end of the game with a similar melody, so I thought doing it here would be a good fit, almost like a "preview" of the entire story's arc. The end result sounds pretty fitting in both the "genocide" and "pacifist" version of the fight.

A preview of an upcoming song for the Undertale Album Project.  It's a theme of sorts for everyone's favorite demon!

This song actually isn't a purely original piece, but is rather a remix of one of the songs on the OST.  I wonder if you can recognize it...?

Note, the art for this is a placeholder of sorts.  A fancy, spiffy track cover will be drawn by an as-of-yet-undecided artist!

Undertale - Bergentrückung & ASGORE (Chiptune Cover)

UPDATE: Download the sheet music and orchestral track here
https://www.patreon.com/posts/17545781

If enough people want sheet music, I might be compelled to make them. Anyway for my next Undertale track, I chose to arrange one of the more emotional pieces in the game. Even though I am a pianist, I am very cautious about using the piano in orchestrations because it can sound very cliche. The majority of piano arrangements I hear are simply the right hand playing the melody and the left hand doing either chords or arpeggios of the chords. Satisfying enough for the layman, but drives me crazy listening to them, and I'm guilty of doing that too. It takes a lot of work to make an arrangement that's dynamic and fun to play.

The original track consists of a piano playing solo, and then joined by instrumentals for the second half. The latter half is extremely repetitive: I counted a total of eight repititions of the same phrase. To make it more interesting, I decided to go with three playthroughs of the melody, with the orchestral portion considerably shortened.

First playthrough - I kept the solo piano part mostly unchained note-wise. In my performance, I added lots more dynamics and sustains to really bring out the soul of the melody. The orchestra part is also pretty straightforward.

Second playthrough - Here's where I really dissect the piece to better understand how the music fits in the game. The chords and harmonies used in the solo portion closely resembles impressionism era music from composers like Debussy. The way the melody seems to drift away and change its mind helps to enforce the idea of the protagonist's loneliness. Makes sense as this is the same melody used in the beginning of the game. The melody in the orchestral portion is more conventional, and the way it just comes in suddenly (just like in the original track) is a great way to stir the emotions of the listener. The encouragement from all the side characters is punctuated by the warm strings playing in harmony.

Third playthrough - I originally planned for an even longer and crazier solo piano cadenza, but it was sounding a bit too much of a departure from the original track. The way I have the piano get more fast and intense, is like how the protagonist responds to her prior defeat to flowey and subsequent encouragement from everyone else. Because she was a pacifist in her journey, she can rest assured her ultimate battle will not be fought alone. All these articulations I used are heavily derived from stuff by Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff.

W. D. Gaster's Megalovania - Undertale (amella Remix)

A battle theme inspired by TratserEnoyreve's lovely comic "The Thought", which describes a hypothetical future in which Sans absorbs all of the human souls and becomes the terrifying toucan we all know and love, officially named Sans Seraphim.

Musically-speaking, I basically went for "Megalovania in the style of Your Best Nightmare", and had fun incorporating various boss themes into the mix.  This is one of the longest and most complicated pieces I've worked on, and I hope you enjoy it!

[Undertale] Missing Pieces - Gaster/Megalovania Remix

People have been constantly requesting more Undertale tracks, and I aim to please. The tracks most requested are all the boss fight songs, and since they are all very heavy metal/synth/rock style, I needed some time to figure out how to arrange. While doing a direct translation of the instruments worked alright for Heartache, I didn't feel the same approach would be as effective for MEGALOVANIA.

Apparently MEGALOVANIA is a combination of megalomania and Transylvania, and not a mix of Mega Man and Castlevania, as I originally guessed. Digging further, I saw that the piece was used as the boss fight in toby fox's Earthbound hack. Since Sans was never this brutal throughout the game, and he gave you many chances to turn back, I concluded that this theme is actually the protagonist's boss theme. Being that this music occurs during the Genocide run of the game, the music serves to highlight the intensity and evilness of the player gone mad with power.

Most of my time spent on this track was amassing the big percussion sounds to construct the epic "Hans Zimmer" cinematic feeling. I didn't want to use a simple drum kit like I did in Heartache because the original rhythm it would have sounded extremely repetitive in an orchestral context. So using a generous helping of Taikos, Epic Toms, Timpanis, Surdos, I came up with all sorts of rhythms to use as the foundation to give life to the piece. I took the catchy melodic riff and adapted it for percussion, with all sorts of variations. The end result does not fit into any specific genre. The middle solo section even has an unintended Asian feel to it.

I imagine this piece is something a high school band/symphony would play at a school concert. After performing the usual classical pieces, they close out with this piece for fun times. People are seen wheeling out the big drums and an assortment of ethnic instruments. The attendees clap along and some get up to dance. Lol
