The Legacy of Now or Never in Splatoon 3 Scruffy 2022-12-11 | { You can support me on Patreon:patreon.com/scruffymusic{ Hear my music on BandCamp:scruffymusic.bandcamp.com{ And follow me on Twitter for more updates!twitter.com/Scruffy_TweetsThis video is a follow-up to my last video about "Now or Never" in the Splatoon series. You can check that video out here!youtu.be/38h8eudzy7k"Now or Never" is Splatoon's theme to ramp up the tension in the last 60 seconds of Turf War gameplay. The theme has several renditions in Splatoon 3, so I'm here to explore what's familiar, what's new, and what's undoubtedly fresh about them!Also, an important correction: I've been informed it's Shiver, not Frye, who sings the chorus melody in Deep Cut's rendition of Now or Never. That's my mistake, my apologies. Still, she offers a good demonstration of the vocal technique in question!Chapters:0:00 Intro0:51 Now or Never: Turf War Version5:48 Now or Never: Splatfest Version7:18 Now or Never: Tableturf Battle Version7:57 Outro{ ?

My friend and fellow composer rud co-wrote this hourly theme with me, and he performs the accordion on it! After the stranger parts of the late night, it's time to settle back into the feeling of early morning approaching, with a more somber, hopeful, and altogether tired tune.Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep for the night. There are some Junctions that, while perhaps not active all day, are still open 24/7. And you might be able to find some friends there who can help the time go by without feeling too lonely, until you're all tired enough to call it a night. Harvey, for instance, can be found hanging out in one of the nature-themed Junctions at night, and he's always willing to share some sticks for roasting marshmallows.*Instruments used*• Accordion - live Weltmeister accordion, played by rud!• Keyboard - Keyscape Wurlitzer 200A• Tuned Gongs - East West Ra• Music Box - Keyscape Celeste, SonicCouture Music Box

Time to embrace awakeness in the spirit of the original Animal Crossing and party!Sometimes you just need some fun things to do to tire you out at night! While many Junctions will offer you attractions and items for outdoor use, some can give you attractions that you can install in your home! Talk to Lyle about turning a room of your house into a dedicated activity room, with a catalog based on the Junctions you've frequented. You can still decorate that room to your heart's content, and then invite friends or villagers over for a customized game night! Even at 2 AM, there's gotta be someone else out there looking for a bowling match, a rock climb, or a go-karting session, right?*Instruments used*• Live clarinet• Keyboard - Keyscape Vibanet• Saxophones - Logic Studio Horns (Tenor Sax, Bari Sax)• Synth melody - Logic ES2• Drum Machine - Kontakt Factory Selection

Perhaps it's a good theme for figuring out what to do now that you've decided to stay up late.Some Junctions are open 24/7, such as the all-important post office! Pelly takes the day shift, and Phyllis takes the night shift, so any time of day you can stop by to mail letters, send packages, and even help with the delivery service! This is one of the "easiest" Junctions, since not only is it open at all hours, but it only takes one visit before you can start setting up mail services in your town. That's not to say you can't visit more times though, to earn fancy stationery or stamps, or perhaps a stylish messenger bag. As long as Phyllis hasn't had enough of you by then!*Instruments used:*• Live egg shaker• Electric piano - Keyscape Rhodes• Bass - Logic Synth E-Bass (the G.O.A.T.)• Trombone - 8-Dio: The Bible of Salsa Volume 3• Percussion - Logic Studio Percussion

I totally came from the original Animal Crossing with these ideas, there are even a few direct homages to its 12 AM theme (such as that wind singer sample). Now that you've crossed the "have a good night" threshold and are planning to stay up, Animal Crossing can explore a bit more expressive or even weird vibes for the earliest part of the morning.You've technically made it through to a new day—congrats!—but it might not feel like it just yet. It's dark out, but if it's a clear night, why not pay Celeste a visit at her observatory Junction? She's got plenty to teach you about the night sky, constellations, the Moon, and other things you might observe in the night sky... if you find a shooting star, make sure to make a wish on it! Helping Celeste with her research enough will clue you in on when weather patterns, big meteor showers, or other celestial events. You'd be able to see them even from back home!*Instruments used*Hi-hat - Logic Drum Kit ("Scientific Method")Snaps - Logic Studio PercussionWurlitzer - Keyscape Wurlitzer 200AGlockenspiel - East West Hollywood PercussionAlt Percussion - Logic Sampler ("European Folk Kit")

I'm home from out of town, and ready to share more music with you! This one got influenced greatly by New Leaf, merging together inspirations from several evening hours. It's the final threshold for night owls.For night owls who can pass the threshold of bedtime, night life in the plazas of Animal Crossing: Taking Root offers plenty to do. Some Junctions specifically get more lively at night, such as Dr. Shrunk's night club! Every night you'll find different decorations, different acts, and different patrons at this popular joint. Some villagers enjoy a nice cup of tea at the Roost even at this hour, or some cozy up in the local library to catch up on their favorite stories. If they can stay up, that is.*Instruments used*• Live Excelsior accordion• Guitar - Kontakt Factory Selection ("Jazz Guitar")• Piano - Keyscape Yamaha C7• Marimba - Logic Sampler• Cajón - Logic Studio Percussion

I'm currently out of town visiting friends for the majority of August, but that doesn't stop me from making music! For a lot of players, hours like 10 PM would be the last ones before they head off to bed. So, I like the idea that around this time, the music wishes you a good night, whether you're offline after this, or whether you're crossing the threshold into late night.You've done quite a bit today... at any time of day, you can get in a bed or a hammock or any comfy spot to lie down and rest. If the bed is in your own house, you can dream of other towns using Luna's dream services. Or, you could choose just to close your eyes and space out, and listen to your radio, record player, the night ambience.... But for those who aren't set on falling asleep yet, there's plenty more to do even well into the night in Animal Crossing: Taking Root...(Also a little detail in this thumbnail: you can put different wallpapers on different walls of a single room, if you wish to mix up its look!)*Instruments used:*• Ukulele - East West Ra (currently away from my live ukulele!)• Vibraphone - Logic Sampler• Synth - Logic Sampler default (sine wave)• Drums - Roland CR-78 (drum machine), Logic Studio Percussion (shaker)• Played in the key of G half-flat major.

I'm currently out of town visiting friends for the majority of August, but that doesn't stop me from making music! Animal Crossing music is generally rather relaxed, but night time is when you really start to notice the contrast from more energetic daytime themes. There are a few hours that try to wish players a good night, just in case they pack it in early.While some Junctions close at night, others are open 24/7 and switch out hosts! For instance, Nat hosts a bug-collecting Junction with a lush little ranch to attract all manner of insect life. But Nat's only around during the daytime: at night, Flick takes over the Junction and rearranges the ranch to accommodate insects that are more active at night. The sort of activity on offer at a 24/7 Junction may change a bit throughout the day, so try mixing your schedule up every now and then!*Instruments used*• Keyboard - Keyscape Rhodes• Drums - Logic Drum Kit Designer• Marimba - Logic Sampler (Marimba)• Acoustic guitar - Ample Guitar M II Lite• Electric guitar - Logic Sampler (Sunburst Electric)• Bass - Logic Sampler (Muted Bass)

This one is an inversion of 8 AM: the clarinets still hold the melodic motif from 8 AM, but the contour of the melody is upside-down. The orchestration is also more laid-back, suggesting the evening has really arrived.At 8 PM, some shops in the downtown plaza Junction settle in for the night, such as the Able Sisters tailor. However, that doesn't mean friendly vendors like Mabel and Sable just disappear for the night! If you visit Junctions within a while after they've closed, you can visit the special characters there while they're off-duty. It doesn't yield anything for your town, but sometimes it's nice to have a conversation without a counter in between the two of you! And sometimes, perhaps you'll receive something sweet in the mail for being more than a customer.*Instruments used*• Live clarinet• Piano - Keyscape Yamaha C7• Celesta - Keyscape Celesta• Drums - Logic Drum Kit Designer

Originally, this hour was going to be even more relaxed than 6 PM, but as I worked on it, the direction changed little by little. I eventually realized I wanted to swing back around from the more relaxed mood of the previous two hours, to make the bona fide evening a bit more lively before the town gets sleepy.The sun's nearly down, but that doesn't mean the day is over! There's plenty of fun to be had in the evening, from sports to bug hunting to smaller games, like board games! If you have any board games laid out or any sports arenas plotted, you can invite villagers or other players to join in! Villagers excel in different activities depending on what type of villager they are: for example, your friend Pashmina excels in games of strategy like checkers. But they can improve over time at any game if you keep inviting them. Some villagers might even have their own house rules, a spin on the game that they apply when you play with them in particular. Not to mention some board games or sports are playable at Junctions, so you can play with any villager who visits. The ultimate ice-breaker!*Instruments used*• Drums - Logic Drum Kit Designer• E.

New Leaf has some of my favorite tracks when it comes to the "mid" evening, past 5 PM but not extremely late yet. So I've taken plenty of notes from there to create a track that winds things down, welcomes you home, and prepares you for a calm evening.The sun is really beginning to set now, and the best place to watch it kiss the horizon is the west shoreline. While you're there, might as well do a little fishing! Fishing works the same as always in Animal Crossing: Taking Root. But if you visit the pier Junction and talk with Chip or CJ, they can help you improve your fishing rod and tackle, identify and categorize fish, and schedule up fishing tourneys in your town. Those tourneys would still run until 6 PM, because there's no need to rush yourself at this beautiful time of day.*Instruments used*• Live electric guitar• Live ukulele• Acoustic guitar synth - Dexed Yamaha DX7 GUITAR 6 patch• Drums - Roland CR-78• Bass - Logic Synth E-Bass (the G.O.A.T.)

My friend and fellow composer rud co-wrote this hourly theme with me, and he performs the accordion on it! It's a laid back bossa that aims to celebrate Animal Crossing as a whole. And with it, we're halfway through the compilation!Even with gardening, cooking, Junctions to visit... what would Animal Crossing be without its welcoming, wholesome sense of patience? There's no rush to do anything, all debts to Tom Nook have no deadlines, and even special single-day celebrations can be made up if you happen to miss them, just talk to Isabelle. In the meantime, there's always time to just find a cozy spot and relax. You're likely to have a friendly villager join you!*Instruments used*• Accordion - live Weltmeister accordion, played by rud!• Live acoustic guitar• Live mini nylon guitar• Live five-string electric bass• Synth melody - Logic ES2 (sound sculpted by rud)• Electric piano - Keyscape Suitcase Rhodes• Drums - Logic Drum Kit

Drawing a bit from Wild World, except I wanted to play especially with rhythm here, creating some musical gestures as though they were modules, and then piecing them together like a puzzle until it all felt complete. The final sound resembles Nintendo digital fusion, but I'd like to think with my own twist on it.After some Junction visiting, it's nice to come back home and relax for a bit to process everything you've gotten done! Perhaps you've visited Franklin's restaurant Junction, and learned more about how to cook any ingredients you've been gardening! Feel free to set up a kitchen space to cook dishes at home, or even an outdoor space to make it a cookout! Wherever you set it, you can invite villagers to come by and have a taste of what you make. Maybe you'll find some of them have pickier palates than others, and maybe you'll find that some dishes have more steps or require more time than others. Either way, the more you cook with friends and neighbors, the more recipes they'll share with you, and the more renowned you'll be as a local chef extraordinaire!*Instruments used*• Piano - Keyscape Yamaha C7• Synth - Dexed Yamaha DX7 PIPES 2 patch• Marimba - Logic Sampler• Woodblocks - East West Japanese Woodblocks• Drums - Logic Drum Machine Designer

Another instance of branching out which instruments I used: I wanted to try both a classic choice of clavinet, inspired by GameCube's 3 PM theme, and a new choice of bassoon!Decorate your town with all sorts of items you procure from exploring Junctions! Let's say you went to a ski lodge Junction, where you could participate in a little skiing activity. Your ski coach would first reward you with little items, maybe a snow globe or some ski gear to keep. As you keep returning, the rewards might turn larger, like decorative slalom flags or moguls, or even a way to customize your town's trees and grass with perpetual snow! And if you really developed a penchant for skiing, your ski coach would allot you the largest prizes: perhaps an alpine background or home design to set your town's scene, and your very own installable ski slope so you can ski in your town! And that's just one Junction, you can mix and match the items you receive from any of them!*Instruments used*• Drums - Simmons SDS-V• Bassoon - East West Hollywood Woodwinds• Clavinet - Keyscape Vibanet• Horn Synth - Dexed Yamaha DX7 HORN SEC.A patch• Electric piano - Keyscape Wurlitzer 200A (my favorite)

Brewster is here to get you a fresh coffee, or to show you how to make it if you're interested! You can even work behind the counter with him as a barista, if you can figure out the menu and give customers their favorite varieties of coffee! In addition to souvenirs, Brewster will also pay you Bells for coming in to help out The Roost.

This one comes from the sparseness of New Leaf's soundtrack, but with warm acoustic instruments to pass the time after noon.Here's an example of a Junction you can visit: meeting Blathers at an archaeological dig site! If you talk to Blathers, you can sign up for a timed fossil hunt, in which you unearth fossils with a trusty shovel, assess what kind of dinosaur part they are, and then have to reconstruct the dino or dinos in the proper order! For completing a skeleton, or even just for participating, Blathers will reward you with items unique to this Junction—for instance, pottery that's been unearthed, or fossil-themed fashion items. If you keep returning to this Junction to really show you're passionate about these dinos and archaeology, then Blathers will eventually agree to visit your town, setting up a fossil museum and showing you that fossils can be found there. It's all optional!

It's another one heavily inspired by the unique style of the GameCube title. It also gives the apex of the day a more active tempo and rhythm.All aboard! Porter returns in Animal Crossing: Taking Root to let you board one of the most important features of the game: the train. (Or bullet train, or tram, or several customizable options!) You use the train to visit Junctions, little stations based off a certain activity, like a sport or a hobby. When a Junction is open, you'll probably find a special character there who can teach you the activity and sign you up to try it. You'll probably find some other interested villagers there as well! There are many Junctions, but they rotate which ones are open, so you won't be overwhelmed with things to get done in a single day. Though, you can visit some Junctions in their off-hours, if you prefer to just hang out and see the sights. Just ask Porter if you need help!*Instruments used*• Bass - Dexed Yamaha DX7 STRINGS 8 patch, and a sample from Waffles' Pik Pack• Melody - Dexed Yamaha DX7 FLUTE 2 patch• Drums - Roland TR-606• Kalimba - East West Ra• Woodblocks - East West Hollywood Percussion• Triangle - sample from the Waffles Pik Pack

Here I'm showing a little love for the more modern sound of Animal Crossing, with a bit more complex harmony, but still the laid back brush drum set that keeps everything feeling very friendly.Well look who it is! In Animal Crossing: Taking Root, Isabelle has been promoted to mayor of this fine town! She's had a little experience as acting mayor before, but she still knows what a big undertaking it is full-time, so she can often use your help adjusting to mayoral duties! From small things like how formally she's supposed to dress, to big things like how much space her office takes up in the town! You could make this a big town with a town hall, or advise Isabelle to keep it comfy in a home office. She could even be a hands-off mayor and just visit on special occasions. However she runs the town, she trusts you and gets you the permits to construct and decorate the town to make it a vibrant, memorable community!*Instruments used*• Piano - Keyscape LA Custom C7• Guitar - Ample Guitar Lite• Tuba - East West Hollywood Brass (Solo Tuba)• Drums - Logic Drum Kit (Speakeasy)

The GameCube title's soundtrack in particular inspired this one, there's something rather quaint about these relatively "small" sounds coming together. But I also freshened up this tune with a few little meter changes here and there.A town isn't a home without a community to share it with! You'd start off with a few villagers who would've wanted to return from their island tours, such as the friendly but staunchly Cranky villager, Wolfgang. But to really make this town something special, you'll want to make some more friends and invite them over! Just note that you don't necessarily have to customize the town to exactly the interests of your neighbors. Who knows, maybe there are aesthetics or activities Wolfgang and company never even knew they'd enjoy!*Instruments used*• Organ - Dexed Yamaha DX-7 E.ORGAN 1• Bass - Logic Synth E-Bass (the G.O.A.T.)• Logic standard marimba• Drum machine - Roland CR-78

It's time to start dipping into the quirkiness that made classic Animal Crossing music so charming. I gave this track a curious mood to inspire more exploration around one's town, while keeping it a laid back bossa vibe.The overarching goal of Animal Crossing: Taking Root is about "taking root" in this older town back on the mainland, and getting it back on the map. And of course, the Nook family is happy to help! Provided you're willing to help with finances, of course...Timmy and Tommy would run Nook's Cranny once again, although the scope and look of the shop will change as the town gets more talked about. This early in the day, you might find one of the two cleaning outside the shop while the other runs the register inside. Plus it looks like they've set up a little attraction to keep the shop feeling friendly: today it's a game of garden quoits!*Instruments used*• Live log drum• Live djembe• Live electric guitar• Guiro - Logic Latin Kit• Synth - Dexed FM synth xylophone patch

I really wanted this one to feel like a "waking up" theme, as I imagined this would be the threshold after which most villagers are definitely active.With the sun fully up, it's time to start today's activities. One of the first of many things you can do in this new-but-familiar town is set up a garden! Design it how you like, plant or transplant all sorts of decorative plants or crops, give them some care every day, and eventually, you'll have a beautiful garden to enjoy. And perhaps you'll harvest some fruits, veggies, herbs, seeds, nuts... all the ingredients you need to cook some lovely garden-variety dishes! Who knows, maybe someday you could even talk to Leif about installing a greenhouse, if you're set on expanding your garden!
