it's the 5th anniversary of "Inverted Fate"! i have not finished reading "Inverted Fate", but i very much enjoy "Inverted Fate"! so i covered this track! really love the AU, looking forward to where it goes!

this track was a bit hard to cover, i don't think i've done a proper AU cover since that horrid "Bullet Hell" remix... hopefully this is better than that!

Like with a lot of my covers, I transcribed the base version first. The pitch bends on the lead were a PAIN IN THE NECK to recreate in Mixcraft, but I managed to get them sounding decent enough.
Fleshing it out was a fairly simple, yet rewarding experience! For those of you who might not already know, I've been a fan of Thomas The Tank Engine since I was a little kid. And when I saw this post from The Caledonian Engines (https://twitter.com/RealCaledonian/status/1442612689797189632,) I just couldn't resist the motivation, no matter how dumb of a reason it was hueh. So I wound up turning this into something reminiscent of a music piece from season 6 or 7 of that show.
Incredibly happy with how this turned out, and I hope you guys enjoy!

DELTARUNE (Chapter 2) | Berdly | Cover

This track was made for our "Entrapment in Darkness" event for April Fools' Day, where we swapped the entire EFTDW roster around in a similar fashion to Deltaswap or, more commonly, Underswap. Try not to take anything here too seriously; this was simply for fun.

* You have gotta be joking. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steven Universe's fall from the town of Beach City also resulted in his slip from the mortal plane. Now, he takes a new name… S.A.N.S. (short for Steven After Not Surviving.) Fighting in the name of all of Cartoon Network's lineup, both old and new, he's determined to find a way back into the light, but not before cracking a couple of jokes first.

Sourcelist:
* Songs featured in Cartoon Network media
(Steven Universe, We Bare Bears, The Amazing World of Gumball)
* Songs related to internet theories and urban legends
(Song of Unhealing, Science Blaster, Legend Has It)
* Songs related to Sans and death

I originally intended for this to be in the style of S6-7 of Thomas The Tank Engine again, like with Dialtone, but I quickly realized that wouldn't work due to the lack of percussion (since percussion is such a key part and this track would've just felt empty in comparison to the original without it.) So I used some RX-5 samples for the beat, and let myself go wild from there; rly damn happy with the piano part I added in particular. (And ye, I did the funni Spamton vocals here as well lol.)
All in all, this was a ton of fun to make, and I hope you guys enjoy!

First of all, thank you so much for 1000 followers here on SoundCloud! I'm genuinely kinda surprised I've managed to grow this far in a year's time, but hey I ain't complaining. Glad you all like my stuff enough to stick around!

Anyhow yeah, this cover was a ton of fun to do! The new chords were a pain to figure out, but was well worth the effort in the end. Stuck with the same general style of my previous two Spamton-related covers, yet I wound up using a couple Proteus 2000 instruments that I've never used before, as well as a **soundfont player** I've never used before (Jeksola X-1) on the brief English horn parts.
Based this on my Spamton cover (for kinda obvious reasons,) and I'm rly happy with how this turned out. Hope you guys enjoy!!

DELTARUNE (Chapter 2) | NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A | Cover (1000 Follower Special)

Spamta Claus is a Deltarune AU that pulls inspiration from the infamous "Spamelle" concept, but with a fair few twists in comparison. Something goes wrong when the fountain in the library is forming in Chapter 2, causing Spamton to be forced into Noelle's body. You can read more details on the swaps + general premise over on Google Docs!

Swatch technically takes Berdly's role. With Berdly being the only Lightner available to make Queen's plans happen, Swatch has been temporarily pulled from the mansion and made his bodyguard. They both get along well enough, and Swatch is somehow even able to keep Berdly's ego somewhat in check while they're together (totally has nothing to do with actually being bit of a proper father figure for the blubird, no sirree!) But while they dutifully fulfill their task of guarding Berdly without fuss, Swatch can also be a bit of a perfectionist and dislikes being away from their normal work, dreading the thought of returning to the mansion being in total disarray.
------------
Motifs:
-Hip Shop
-Berdly
------------
Just a quick lil disclaimer. This is less of a *total* replacement for the original Berdly theme, as I imagine that would still be used in the game, but moreso a second variant that WOULD take priority in moments where Swatch appears (with or without Berdly.)

Anyhow, this was a REALLY nice experiment to try out. Hip Shop and Berdly are actually *really* close to each other in terms of tempo (and have the same key,) and it was satisfying figuring out how to successfully get the former into the time signature of the latter, so the mashup had its best chance of working! Also I dunno if it shows up all that well in here, but I also tried to include some instruments from Queen-related tracks in here, tying back to how unwaveringly loyal Swatch is in serving Their Lady Grace (irrespective of personal grievances they tend to keep to themselves.)
On that note tho, I hope you guys enjoy!

Hope you enjoy!

Dirt Cheap Disco ("Nows your chance to be a" cover)

Super Mario World - Athletic Theme (Reorchestrated)

* Wait!
* Bow. I... haven't been fully honest with you.
* I wanted to pretend, just for a moment, that things were ok.
* That I could finally let this all go, and be at peace with myself.
* ...But I can't. Not when the mess you're stuck in is MY fault.
* Before you start your journey through HER palace,
* You at least deserve the truth. Even if you hate me for it.

Mustache Girl takes on a hybrid Asgore and Asriel role. Years ago, she took Hat Kid's Time Pieces and set into motion a chain of events that would drastically change the world as everyone knew it, and put it firmly in her hands to rule. She thought this would be the best way to serve "proper" justice back then, but now? She's just tired. Mu's *been* done with this for quite some time, and she feels deeply trapped. Trapped by the people she already turned against her years ago, by her (in hindsight) rather bullheaded quest that's lost all its appeal of pursuing, by the all-encompassing kingdom she never realized she didn't want... and by an unending feeling of loneliness and sadness. The spark that started this mess is long gone (and that's putting it lightly,) but Mu sure as hell isn't going to actually say it, let alone give up without a fight. Cause the one thing that never *truly* went away was Mu's stubborness/committment, no matter how much it tears her apart inside.

Hat Kid is in the role of Sans. The whole dinner scene thing earlier on in the AU is still chill n all, but after Bow's final encounter with Conductor, Hattie can't help but feel bad for not giving her the full truth about things as they currently stood (and has been wracked with publically-repressed guilt over the state of the world for years now.) So in another twist, *Hat Kid* is actually the one that largely gives the whole backstory monologue thing to Bow. Though some of the NPCs on the sidelines *do* still chime in ever so often with their own comments about how much Mustache Girl sucks... much to Hat Kid's discomfort.

Still not the actual track I commissioned from Kristian, but I figured "hey, while I have the ACTUAL Memory replacement now, and since I think the old version sucked ass, let's redo the Track 71 replacement too!" Definitely more "minor" sounding than the old one, and nowhere near as chipper in tone, but I think this fits a bit better now.
Did still reuse a fair few aspects from the V1, namely a lot of the instrumentation and general progression, but everything was pitched down/adjusted as needed to match the new Memory replacement (https://soundcloud.com/ahit-times-end-ost/reflections-past.) Wound up replacing and swapping in other motifs in certain cases, even though one of them is likely blended in a bit *too* well in this final mix lmao. This track probably more *directly* reveals the influence behind the actual commissioned track -- the His Theme for the AU (ik shocker to end all shockers) -- and thus, what this and the Memory were built from. ;)
Anyhow tho, enough of my inane rambling, hope y'all enjoy! :) --Ashley
(also uhhhh yeah hi! i'm not sure how far this'll go, but after some stuff that's happened the past few days, i can say with a lot of confidence that i'm *not* a man. would appreciate y'all baring with me as i continue to figure myself out. starting with that... there is no more "chris" in ba sing se.)

Times Long Since Past

Hey y'all, I have a couple important announcements for ya.
The first one has already had a LOT of it given away by my new PFP, and I've already announced it on Tumblr and Twitter, but I might as well make it official here too: Hi there (again,) my name's Ashley. I'm a girl, and I go by she/her. :)
Still have a phone call or two to make, and I know I've got a long road ahead, but I feel very confident that this is the right way for me to go (albeit I also feel nervous as fuck still, but eh. what can ya do lmao.)

Second tho... on a darker note, I am *very* much aware of the controversy surrounding a particular Joker. Seeing as it predominantly used his assets (and since I've recently become disenchanted with it anyhow,) I have permanently deleted my old GIGA プリン, and any and all attempts to reupload it will be struck down without question.

(the sound is just one of Hat Kid's "boop" voice clips from A Hat In Time's game files btw, just wanted smth small to be able to share this announcement with y'all.)

Announcements (9/15/23)

Sorry for the sudden reupload folks! Meant to delete a spam comment, but accidentally removed the track instead. Idk HOW, but ye XP
