don't forget is one of the best deltarune songs tbh

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!

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!!

At long last, here's the finale to the Spamton quadrilogy months in the making! I'll admit tho: I did this part of things in just past the few days. Found out I was positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, and aside from feeling like garbage, this is part of what I've been doing to kill time lmao. Things were pretty crazy to figure out in several places, especially the mixing (and relatedly, getting a good balance between master volume and master limiter adjustments to get the sound I wanted.)
While this obviously doesn't have the same Thomas-y vibe as my other Spamton tracks, I set myself the challenge of using ONLY instruments from libraries related to that show. And aside from the piano, I more or less succeeded! I used patches from the Proteus 1 + 2 + 2000, E-MU Emulator II, Yamaha RX-5 and Virtuoso. 
Thanks to Wabble (https://soundcloud.com/wabble-deen) for their feedback during the development of this cover, it rly helped shape things for the better! Also BIG shoutout to Adamant and their "How to Recreate BIG SHOT" series (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbmwdKG1lFwGXQ5xqLosFpspxieovS_wG.) I used it as a reference for multiple difficult things that were tripping me up, and this cover just wouldn't be anywhere **near** as good without this resource's existence.
Am incredibly happy with how this turned out, and I hope you guys enjoy! :)

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!

So ye I decided to just extract the original vocals with AI and use those. Doesn't mean I had it easy persay, but I figured I could get away with not having *everything* done wholly from scratch for once lol.
Anyhow, this track was easily the most COLOSSAL PAIN IN THE ASS TO TRANSCRIBE **EVER,** and the tempo is the sole factor responsible for it!! Took a TON of editing to get everything aligned, especially the vocals. Wound up being well worth the effort tho. From what I've been able to notice at least, no one has ever done a more orchestral version of this that's also tried to "play it straight," so to speak (as in just sticking to the length of the original song.) Was a very fun time figuring out how I wanted to do just that once the base transcription was done, and I'm very happy with the result. Hope you guys enjoy!

* Oh, hi there. A lot's changed since you left, Bow.
* Part of me wishes you'd fixed this mess, or even stayed and been my friend.
* But oh well. No use crying over spilled lava...

Hat Kid replaces Sans in this AU. After Bow Kid leaves, her journey having come to an end, Hat Kid is the one that decides to call her and let her know how things are going back on the planet she left behind. Most of the time, that is. (I'm too lazy to explain further than that though, go read the Neutral Endings write-up lol.)

I'm late to the punch by a couple days, but for the 1-year anniversary of my starting this AU OST, I wanted to give the track that (ironically enough) started it all a new coat of paint. Compared to the V1, I decided to strip this track "back to basics," so to speak. There are some *tiny* transcription additions, and I actually took more inspiration from this track's namesake for the backing strings/choir in the second half, but otherwise I wanted this new version to be closer in spirit to the original An Ending from UT.
Also I'll fully admit something here. Belowexchange's "What Comes Next" (https://soundcloud.com/silverswap/what-comes-next) -- which is fucking fantastic btw! -- is what inspired me to put both the V1 from my main and this new version in the key of F minor (and also influenced the backing a bit.) The way I initially did it on the V1 though was... fucking messy, to say the least. Redid it from the ground up and actually crossreferenced a proper *SCALE* for F minor this time, so everything on this update should now be one consistent key lmao.
All in all, I am FAR happier with how this attempt turned out, and I hope you guys enjoy! --Ashley

Some Alpine Pompous Crow-nies replace Dogamy and Dogaressa, and the Slighty Bigger Alpine Pompous Crow (their leader) takes on the role of Lesser Dog. The Crow-nies have leather jackets... somehow. And when I say that their leader is a Slighty Bigger crow, I really mean *Slightly.* Like... only 1-2 inches.
Mafia Boss siccs them on Bow during a Pacifist/Neutral route, just to be an annoyance. She'll come out on top, but not before dealing with some Greased Lightning. ...You know, fried chicken sounds really good right about now.

Honestly? I don't have anything "philosophical" to say about this. I had no ideas for these roles, so I just decided to take the base design of the Alpine Pompous Crows and shitpost my heart out.
My boi Kristian did a FANTASTIC job on this music tho! The obvious basis here was New Age Retro Hippie from Earthbound, but some inspiration was also drawn from this cover of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIK49iS9tBo.) Not much else to say here, so I hope you guys enjoy! --Ashley

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)

* MUSTACHE GIRL EX ATK 180 DEF 280
* Guess she did have a breaking point, after all.
* ...There must be a way to get through to her.

------------
Mustache Girl takes on a hybrid Asgore and Asriel role. Already feeling trapped and conflicted, her emotions are finally pushed over the edge when an incredibly large group of people -- though it feels more like the entire world with how suffocating the crowd is -- barge into her throne room and hurl insults her way, telling her to "get lost!" among other things ...and (almost) all in the name of Bow Kid, mirroring what happened years ago to a disturbing degree. Finally overwhelmed by all her painful thoughts and emotions bubbling back to the surface, she snaps and violently shatters a Time Piece in a fit of rage. And thus history is made to repeat itself once more. But this time, something's different.

BABY'S FIRST HOPES AND DREAMS REPLACEMENT FOR THE WIN :D
But ye, this is actually happening! Aside from using similar instruments (and a somewhat loose idea for the very beginning of my track,) this is *very* deliberately unfaithful to the typical H&D structure. Knew right away that I wanted to use Mustache Girl EX as the base for this track, and that sticking too rigidly to the structure of any other H&D would do a disservice to the feel I wanted to go for: that same kick-you-in-the-dick level of power from Mu EX, but with a LOT more of a melancholy vibe underlying all that fury. Plus, bit of a fun fact: adjustments have been made since obviously, but the first "complete" mixing draft of this track was finished on New Year's Eve 2023! (This kind of constant revising is why the His Theme track is *still* not done on my part btw lmaooooo.)
Also... I'll fully admit something here. For the first time on a track I've done, the drumbeat's backbone is comprised of loops I got when I bought Mixcraft 10 (especially with some of the things they were offering during the first week of its launch,) and the only supplemental VST I used was Abbey Road 80's Drummer for the left panned hi-hats. I know that EDM-type stuff similar to the actual Mu EX track is completely out of my wheelhouse, and I didn't want to royally screw up the drum pattern with this different metal-ish take on it, seeing as those are something I have a TON of trouble with. All things considered, drumline came out ok!
And ye on the whole, I'm incredibly happy with this track, and it's *easily* the most ambitious arrangement I've done to date (and the most difficult too in some aspects.) Hope you all enjoy! :) --Ashley
