Foreword from Vinpie: "thank you to everyone that has invested in MISFORTUNE in any way, shape, or form whether it be my original track, this rendition, or someone else's. MISFORTUNE was a fun little track i decided to make to honour TS!US when i was just 13, and though i'm a grown 19-year-old whose creative focus has since shifted drastically from UNDERTALE the game and my prime within the UTSC community will forever hold a special place in my mental museum of memories.

MISFORTUNE, almost like UNDERSWAP itself, has grown into something even bigger than my own creation, and for a long time i've considered it to be a song owned by the community rather than myself for just how much its sound has shifted throughout the years as you've all grown and become more sonically ambitious... it's beautiful to see, and though i've had no part of it, i'm happy to have been part of the stepping stones towards growing as artists for all of you who participated in making your own rendition of my song.

this cover here is beautiful to me in the sense that it shows how such a simple piece of art can go such a long way for inspiring people for years to come. that's exactly what i make art for: to have fun and inspire people. it's been a long time since many of you have heard from me, but i'm just letting y'all know i'm still here and making music, haha. so, i want you all to keep expanding and make music and any kind of art you want to make. it's all special and it doesn't matter what anybody says about it as long as it's entirely crafted with your heart and made with passion.

give these artists their props, and much love for y'all. goodnight."

Dr. Hayden: "We're back again with more Megalovania is not a Genre! We decided to give this absolute classic the glow up it deserves, we did some unconventional things here, including a REAL acoustic guitar, and we're extremely proud of how this turned out, special thanks to everyone who contributed!"

The Lullaby That Is You (in 12-8)

Leo A. Kempinski (German/American 1891-1958) composed “Heavy (con moto) Tension” in 1922 as part of the "Incidental Symphonies - Half Reel Dramatic Illustrations" series for the Photo Play Music Company, 1520 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 

The cover sheet explains that the Incidental Symphony series was "compiled with the purpose of solving the difficult problem of eliminating Monotony when accompanying Dramatic and Agitated Scenes of unusual length" and modestly proclaims the series to be "Master Compositions that may justly be called THE ACME of Perfection."

The piano part was "Fully Cued" and could be used alone or as a simplified score. The composition is in 12/8 time, a compound quadruple time signature sometimes used in classic rock (think R.E.M.'s 'Everybody Hurts'). The tempo is "Allegro ma non troppo" - fast but not too much. To achieve intensity but avoid a rushed, frenetic feel we've recorded it at 124 BPM. 

Kempinski's career extended well into the audio recording age, and in the 1940s he led the "Leo Kempiski Continental Orchestra" at Columbia Records - https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/mastertalent/detail/108230/Kempinski_Leo_A

This recording of Kempinski's "Heavy (con moto) Tension" was produced by @MLucas in North Judson, Indiana USA in April 2025 using OMR. The OMR process begins with a digital scan of the original theater orchestra sheet music. The scans are converted into music xml using SoundSlice and then assembled into a score in a professional music notation program. The resulting score was imported into Logic Pro as MIDI. In Logic, each part was assigned a sampled sound and then the project was edited and mixed. All the notes in our recording are in the original music, but we've arranged the piece to add more dramatic variation by silencing some instruments in selected passages.

Heavy Tension (Leo A. Kempinski)

Wax Scraper Instrumental

Christopher O’Hare (1867 - c. 1943) composed “Sea Song” in 1918 "for surf scenes, on the sea, sailors etc.” as part of Oliver Ditson’s “Music for the photoplay” series, intended to accompany movies in the silent era. It’s a late romantic theater orchestra composition — a rolling 12/8 time blizzard of arpeggios. Though brief, it could have been looped for longer scenes. 

Our recording started using Optical Music Recognition (OMR) applied to scans of the original copies of theater orchestra parts from 1918. The OMR product was edited in Dorico, assembled into a score and exported to Logic Pro to be recorded with sampled instruments. 

This piece was interpreted rather freely: the original organ part was mostly omitted, with the retained parts being performed by a synthetic choir. The low brass melody -- written for trombone - was recorded using a Euphonium sample.

The artwork is based on a Currier and Ives hand colored lithograph captioned “A squall off Cape Horn”. The print was originally published between 1840 and 1890. Library of Congress bookmark: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/97514621/.

Demo12

This track was crafted in 12/8 time on a looper with bass, guitar, and panpipes. The audio is declarations against dark soul ties.  if you listen, expect synchronistic releases.  
p.s.  most of my track arent perfect, theyre just charged moments in time :)
