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.

Each season of KonoSuba has had a little song at the end sung by the main characters. Here's an oompaey-orchestrated version of the ending from the second season of the show. This is a variation with the character's vocals.

Time to get back on track with releases! Winter Suite is 100% finished, now, but I want to actually release it in Winter. I felt like this one would be appropriate for the weather, right now, so here's a preview of Summer Suite from An Evening with the Underground Symphonic Orchestra.

Undertale and its soundtrack were created by and belong to Toby Fox. This is entirely a fan-made production and is not affiliated with Toby Fox in any way.

It's Raining Somewhere Else

Spring is just around the corner! That means that Spring Suite finally is, too, so it's time to show a preview for it, my favourite part of the suite and one of my favourite parts of the soundtrack in general, Dummy! This has ended up as one of the most ambitious things that I've ever written.

The Mad Dummy is an odd one. He kind of just shows up with barely any relation to the story, then disappears again almost immediately. Despite this, he ended up as one of my favourite characters by way of managing to cram so much personality and one of the most fun battles in the game into that short time. His battle music, Dummy!, is also one of my favourite tracks in the soundtrack, an extremely catchy reprise/remix of Ghost Fight, Napstablook's battle theme. I've had this idea for it for a very long time and it was very fun to finally be able to put it together like this. My only regret is that it kind of makes my own arrangement of Ghost Fight sound pathetic, but I suppose that that's fitting in its own way.

Spring Suite will be out next week, on March 22nd!

An Evening with the Underground Symphonic Orchestra is a two-hour symphony/orchestral score based on the work of Toby Fox from the soundtrack of Undertale, reimagined as an orchestral work from Undertale's mix of 16-bit-ish and MIDI sounds and arranged into an imaginary film score. Undertale is one of my favourite games of all time and has one of the most intelligently-written soundtracks that I know, so this is the least that I can do to pay tribute to a game that means so much to me. The full album should be released in late 2019.

"Dummy. Dummy! DUMMY!" is an orchestral arrangement of "Dummy!" from Undertale, composed by Toby Fox.
