TT-048: Descent Into Madness/Alternate Universe

HONK! I said what I said…I'd rather paint the town DEAD🤡

Blappo no…what are you doing? STOP IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlrighty then let's break this thang down. This is actually a boss battle theme about a killer clown from an old canceled project I worked on. I've been wanting to revisit it for a while and this prompt felt like a good time to do it. Boss themes are so much fun. I love writing chaotic melodies and arpeggios and just wacky and wild riffs in general. Since the theming is centered around clowns, I stuck with common instruments used in clown or circus music. I chose an Organ for the wild and tense chord combinations it can produce, and the staccato notes in the C sections sound so crispy and bouncy. The Xylophone scooby doo be goin' hard, with the octave layering coupled with the Bass. I also triple layered the Xylophone, each detuned 1 semitone from each other and the volume lowered and panned, so it gives a strange sound of uncertainty. I used a full Woodwind section for chords and alternating melody lines because they sound goofy and spooky, and I love when orchestral pieces use the Woodwinds to take turns playing melodies. So playful! The breakbeat drums just add another chaotic, and unpredictable layer to the clown theme and they just he*kin RIP dude.
