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.

Undertale Orchestrated - Heartache

UPDATE: Download the sheet music and orchestral track here

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.

I definitely wanted to go in an orchestral direction for this remix, just because of how epic this fight is in the genocide run. This one was highly requested over Spear of Justice, but I'll be writing a remix of that song too (maybe in late April). Next week's remix might be "I'm Blue", though I really want to remix Snowdin's theme (I could put that theme on repeat for hours, it's so lovely OvO) so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.

It's finally here! OvO I managed to get a lot done over Spring Break (when I wasn't playing skyrim ESO of course), and I started on a few remixes for the upcoming weeks, including a mashup remix of Interstellar Retribution and Megalo Strike Back OwO I'll also be putting up a teaser of another remix I'm working on for Undertale in a few days, so that should be exciting. It's a song that deserves a remix, but I haven't found any remixes of it yet. 

I'll give you a hint though: "That promise I made to her...you know what would have happened if she hadn't said anything?"

As I was working on this remix, I kept thinking it would work well for Grillby's theme, even though the song doesn't play at his bar OvO I think it should play at Grillby's though, he's such a classy bartender OxO (I have a love for bartenders btw, have you seen the majestic tricks these guys do) o3o Graduation’s in May too, so I’m pretty sure Asriel’s getting a remix of Hopes and Dreams & Save The World-OH BOY! *flips table*  (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Next week's gonna be a special remix thingy, and then the week after will most likely be Snowdin's Theme OwO

[Undertale Remix] SharaX - It's Raining Somewhere Else

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

It's about time I did an Original Song for Undertale, so here ya go OvO There's some train references in this one too, so hopefully you can figure out what's going on in the lyrics below x3

-Lyrics-

[Sans]
Here take a ticket, welcome to my paradise,
But there's a price to pay when no one can remember that they've died.
I've watched a thousand times the sound
of a burnt-out heartbeat.

Here's all your reason you can
throw it to the wind,
And I'd be lying to myself
if I thought "Now it's over,"
Maybe I should say it louder?
Just listen to that echo.

Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

[SharaX]
Knock, knock? - -
Who's there? - -
Knock, knock? - -
Laughter.

Knock, knock? - -
Who's there? - -
Knock, knock? - -
Laughter.

[Papyrus]
Here's all your reason you can
throw it to the wind,
And I'd be lying to myself
if I thought "Now it's over,"
Maybe I should say it louder?
Just listen to that echo.

Just like the turning wheels under a speeding train,
You take a step and hear the sound of warning,
disregarded pain,
cause on the other side it's promised there's no more silence.

[SharaX]
Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

[Sans]
Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

[Sans & SharaX]
Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

[SharaX]
Knock knock, who's there? Not my laughter,
I am drowning, falling faster,
Racing on the tracks, the answer's
just another shattered flower.

[Lyrics]

You say I'm drifting, that "I'm lost in thought."
Just taking in the sights and wondering what lies under snow,
Not paying mind to time, no sense of rush,
With every step it's a reminder of,
Adventures unknown.

I see you run ahead and I don't mind,
Sometimes it's better if I walk this bridge alone,
far behind,
In case I stagger maybe pause too long,
and then the beauty's gone,
the birds are silenced, now.

"I know what you did,"
Just a bird, I say, "Go away."
"You can't live like this,"
"You're a coward, a fool, pretender."
Takes a moment perched, and then flies to another branch,
"You call this your home? Snowdin's no place for murderers so-

Tell me how you plan to solve this,
I could whisper all that's honest,
I should leave you out here alone,
Like the one you left long ago."

[Chronos 1:42]
"I know what you did,"
Just a bird, I say, "Go away."
"You can't live like this,"
"You're a coward, a fool, pretender."
Takes a moment perched, and then flies to another branch,
"You call this your home? Snowdin's no place for murderers so-

[Zephyr 1:59]
"I know what you did,"
Just a bird, I say, "Go away."
"You can't live like this,"
"You're a coward, a fool, pretender."
Takes a moment perched, and then flies to another branch,
"You call this your home? Snowdin's no place for murderers so-

[Zephyr 2:13]
Someone's calling,
voices talking,
lost among the ice,
it's falling.
Then there's silence,
No one saw this,
Cry for help
and drown in whiteness.

Can you keep a secret?
Try me.
Cowardice and fear's behind me,
Left it buried under blankets,
And it haunts me,
taints me,
breaks me.

[Chronos 3:04]
Someone's calling,
voices talking,
lost among the ice,
it's falling.
Then there's silence,
No one saw this,
Cry for help
and drown in whiteness.

Can you keep a secret?
Try me.
Cowardice and fear's behind me,
Left it buried under blankets,
And it haunts me,
taints me,
breaks me.

[Chronos & Zephyr 3:20 and 4:30]
Someone's calling,
voices talking,
lost among the ice,
it's falling.
Then there's silence,
No one saw this,
Cry for help
and drown in whiteness.

Can you keep a secret?
Try me.
Cowardice and fear's behind me,
Left it buried under blankets,
And it haunts me,
taints me,
breaks me.

I had fun writing this song & I love working with all of their vocals o3o I have so many songs for Undertronic (remixes and originals) that I working on atm, so that's pretty exciting I think ouo

[Lyrics]

[Sans]
Tick tock,
Have a favorite hour?
Not one?
Well it doesn't matter.
There's not a second that slips,
Unoticed or ignored.
So many events that take place,
Time's like an eternal keepsake,
Holds all the good memories,
And the one's, not so fun.

Well,
We both make mistakes,
And choose to do wrong,
When down on our luck,
When some can't go on,
We blame the tick-tock,
That clicks to our song,
A second too soon,
A hour far gone.

Although all I hear are echos
Still, better keep my eyes closed,
Sometimes the truth is awful,
And well I'd rather not know.

There's not a light inside me,
Only a flickering flame,
How you inspire others,
I'll never understand it.

[Papyrus]
Shut down,
Hear no, speak no,
Evil.
I wish I could Rewind.
I have direction, but

Look stranger,
I'd rather just stand by.

Hopes and Dreams isn't my favorite song in the soundtrack, but I did a thing for it anyway since I promised I would finish it. Dunno what I'm doing next, I'll have to tinker around with a few songs, but (looks at calendar) Halloween is a few months away. And if you don't know me, I have an obsession with Halloween - and Halloween songs - and remixing these wonderful Halloween songs ₍₍◝(°꒳°*)◜₎₎

Oh geez, Rewind still needs to be finished, much lolz to be seen today ~(‾▿‾)~

Oh oh, and Event Months are finally coming back.
September 1st - October 31st will be the Symphony of Sins.
Get ready cause Halloween is starting early.
This remixer is ready ~
For Spooky Scary Skeletons and Mystery Skulls, creepy Vocaloid song remixes & more. I think Dark Darker Yet Darker is returning for round 2 as well └|°ε°|┐

Just having fun with the Waterfall melody o3o You might recognize Lavender Town and a few other song references in this. I wanted to stray a bit to see what I could do with piece compositionally, and I adore how it turned out.

[Lyrics]

[1:10] x2
Echo, echo,
Do you hear a voice, no?
Nothing's speaking,
maybe cause they're sleeping.
Bounding around, 
carefree in the wind now,
Hard to let go,
But you're never alone.

[3:50] x2
Echo, echo,
Do you hear a voice, no?
Nothing's speaking,
maybe cause they're sleeping.
Bounding around, 
carefree in the wind now,
Hard to let go,
But you're never alone.

[4:15]
Someone's calling,
Voices talking,
Hold onto your hope,
It's falling,
Sudden silence,
No one saw this,
Cry for help,
And drown in blackness.
Can you keep a secret?
Try me,
Cowardice and fear's behind me.
Left it buried,
Broken, weightless,
Separated, loved and faithless.
