//Alrighty. This needs a little bit of context. On December, there was a Glitchtale Showcase, wherein I made a tune for said Showcase. However, I only sent the Alpha Version of the remix - and thus here I am, 2 months later, with the Completed Version. And just in time as well! For it is Glitchtales 5th anniversary!
I have a weird relationship with this particular remix. On one end, this is currently my most ambitious musical project to date (7 minutes?!) And to combine both Glitchtale and Kingdom Hearts? What kind of insanity plagued me 2 months ago?!
On the other end, this was... really tough. And the end result was something I ended up saying: Well, it aint my best - but it sure was ambitious. ARGH! It all sounded better in my head! If only someone could invent a machine to read brainwaves or whatever, and translate them into a song!
I digress. Hopefully you enjoy this monstrosity of a musical project, and it goes without saying... Happy Birthday Glitchtale! (Oh and thanks for using the Alpha ver. of this song for the Showcase :P)
DDD Notes
[Crescent Dream ~ Eternal Dream]
Based on these original compositions:
Lord of the Castle - Yoko Shimomura
Bete Noire - NyxTheShield
GOOD. LORD.
There I was, complaining about how it was hard to combine Its Raining Somewhere Else and Sakura Sakura ~ Japanize Dream because it sometimes sounded like 2 kids arguing over each other. BOY. These two compositions I tried combining basically hated being next to each other! They were just so VASTLY different.
Lord of the Castle was slower, more orchestral and had an epic mood to it - fittingly so, because youre fighting the final boss in a grand, heroic battle to the death. Bete Noire was much faster, electronic and had an uneasy mood to it - reflecting Bettys nature to prey on your fears and uneasiness as you fight her, to what seems like no foreseeable good outcome. So naturally, you try combining both moods and youve got a song that essentially doesnt know what to do with itself or how it wants to feel. Is it unnerving? Or is it heroic? Do you feel like youre gonna lose? Or do you feel ready to save the day? This song basically teeters on the edge between both worlds... and therein lies my ultimate solution:
It was gonna be a futile effort in combining both songs the same way I did with Its Raining Somewhere Else ~ Japanize Dream... Occasionally, I found opportunities to mix the two simultaneously, but in the end... they needed to stay worlds apart. Ultimately, the only way I was gonna make this work, was to tell a story... The rise and fall of Bete Noire.
You can (hopefully) hear the progression within the song: beginning with a sense of uneasiness, as Frisk first fights Betty and is quickly defeated by the power of FEAR. Then the music picks up, as Betty fuses with Akumu and becomes stronger and more rampant - defeating Mettaton, Asgore and Toriel. The music then becomes desperate in Bettys clash with Sans, slowly dying down as Betty herself perishes by Gasters hand. Then it ominously kicks up again when HATE reveals itself... Finally, it takes a heroic, hopeful turn in the end, when Chara stands up to HATE in what seems like the final showdown - in the finale episode Hope.
With that in mind, I was able to create a remix I was reasonably happy with in terms of how it sounded and its progression. There was just one little problem left...
I knew NOTHING when it comes to writing Rock/ Metal pieces, nor did I have the equipment or means to make it sound authentic or excellent. I am packed with nothing but synths, and synths is what I used to simulate the Electric Guitars. Inevitably, it made the guitars sound... cheap. But thats the price one pays for not paying at all (for a real guitar). But with some tweaking here and there, I made it sound at least serviceable in what it was trying to sound like. As for my knowledge with the genre I was trying to tap into, it was a learning process that took time... Its also kind of evident in the song itself, sounding more interesting towards the end, because it was around that time that I started to know what I was doing... (sort of). I was debating on whether to fix up the earlier parts to also sound more exciting, but I felt that it wouldve taken away from the songs overall progression if EVERYTHING sounded exciting. So I left the earlier bits as they were.
So overall? I know Ive been a bit self-critical... But I guess thats just how I am. I take my Animating-Perfectionism into my music, which is obviously not as good as my animations... and sure enough, my absurdly high expectations arent met. But that aside, Im very happy with how this turned out. I pulled off a Kingdom Hearts remix for crying out loud! And Camila used it! (to an extent).
Hope you enjoy! And happy birthday Glitchtale!

![[Undertale DDD OST] The Once Peaceful Days (Touhou Remix)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wJCrRjy1ZQM/hqdefault.jpg "[Undertale DDD OST] The Once Peaceful Days (Touhou Remix)
I decided to step down in terms of ambitious musical projects, and did a much simpler remix! This particular piece can be heard during the credits of Season 1.5.
For some reason, I seem to be remixing a lot of ZUNs old PC-98 songs. Probably because theyre REALLY underrated. And they make for fine retro pieces that I can fit in Undertale. UNDERrated! Badum tss.
Hope you enjoy this short, simple and sweet musical project and... hopefully my next one will showcase a completely original composition! ...If I dont get the sudden inspiration to remix another song.

DDD Notes
[The Once Peaceful Days]
Based on these original compositions:
Peaceful ~ Good Ending - ZUN
Days ~ Bad Ending - ZUN
Yea, Im back to dual remixes once again. But this time the combination process was less awkward, because not only am I remixing two songs from the same game: Lotus Land Story, but they both happen to be two sides of the same coin! [Peaceful] is a Good Ending theme, and [Days] is a Bad Ending theme. And they really do sound well together... After a few key alterations here and there.
This project is probably my first somber kind of song. It isnt upbeat and happy, nor aggressive and action-oriented. The melody itself I found quite sad, and I simply masked it with an upbeat drum pattern to keep the flow moving. But even that slowly fades away. Story-wise, this plays during a Season 2 episode. Season 2 is a prequel to the Season 1 Genocide Route you know today. So knowing where Season 2 could lead to, it leaves a bittersweet premonition. And I thought this song would signify that pretty well. Looking back to what once was, and comparing it to now... Nothing will beat those Once Peaceful Days... Except perhaps a better ending.
This song was also therapeutic in a way. I cant help but continue to feel sad about how the Undertale community is slowly fading away. If DELTA was supposed to be a reminisce to the good old Undertale days, then this song is a lament. Not to mention that Ive been feeling down, in general. As such I sat myself down, considered a good musical piece to use for my latest episodes credits, and just thrived on the somber aspects of the song, whilst keeping it rhythmic, so as to not overload the piece with emotion... Nah, thatll have a place much later. In any case, this is a song lamenting the *ahem* Once Peaceful Days. But now its just... quiet. Youd think Quiet and Peaceful are synonymous... But no. I could only wish.
The instrumentation was quite interesting this time around. I was more forceful in combining synthetic and realistic instruments this time around. I use synths for the bass and droning background textures, and instruments - such as the flute, piano, strings & guitar, for the main melody. The realistic instruments - especially the flute and violins, forward this songs intimate emotions, whilst the synths forward this low-ended sense of darkness and somberness.
Overall, I think Im getting better at this music making ting. Maybe one day Ill have the confidence to write something original... If I resist the urge to cringe at my attempts. I did try at some time ago... And lets just say Ill be sticking to remixes. But hey, I do see improvement. And as such, nothing will be impossible for me.
As for my journey in the Undertale DDD scene. I think this song also serves as my acceptance to the role Ive found myself in: The Undertale DDD Man. For I shall see this project to its end, even if it takes me decades (I seriously hope not, but being an adult is hard). After all, I have a rough idea of the ENTIRE story... And boy, you have not seen ANYTHING yet. Genocide Asgore was the grand epic of Undertale DDD yea? I shall be laughing in a few years time. A good kind, dont worry. One that can finally vanquish the despair in my heart.
Until then, stay determined yall.

I got a bit wild with the yelling. What can I say? My voice has finally gotten used to... Well, being used. Same cant be said with me being used to the creepiness of this game.
Hope you enjoy this part, and DONT WORRY. Ive been working on Episode 6 in-between editing this part. (Which is why it came later than usual)

DANG MAN. DDLC and OneShot are ganging up on my feels. A rather sad but satisfying conclusion to what I consider a year-long journey! Hope you enjoyed this playthrough and hope you can stick around for future Lets Play videos! (as I still continue to work on DDD Season 2)
Until then, I think my psyche needs a minor break, lest it crumbles entirely.
