[REUPLOAD] 〔 Overwatch | Piano 〕 Sigmas Theme (Arrangement ver.)
updated
You can thank the "Friend Inside Me" meme for actually letting this come to fruition.
Fixing some timing and articulation errors. Wonder what's next.
No spoilers, no hints, not even a joke. I've already been spoiled a bit from people poorly concealing their hints yesterday.
That said, I'm gonna try and finish this so I can finally stop hiding on social media.
Don't worry, the thumbnail is clean and spoiler-free. You're only gonna get spoiled if you look at the stream, so be careful :)

Revisiting a game, partly for music inspiration, and partly for feelings.
Chimi and Patchy kekekekeke
The Golden Land of Prester John is such a catchy stage 3 theme I can't help but dance to it. That little music-box-like instrument really adds to that ancient feel of the altar that lies just beyond the Sanctuary. And to think that the altar would take a shape of a pyramid...
Yeah, it says 'tomb' in the haikus, but we all know it's more than that. Also, Chimi's theme seems to be lingering in my head for some reason. And Alice's too.
@DameDivineDisarray came up with the idea to add a certain something (or two) towards the end, and I gotta say it works really well. Thanks :)

I got a little tired of re-using and redoing my socials at the end of videos, so here's an all-in-one link (let's hope it doesn't backfire the way I think it may):

YESSS TOUHOU 20. Revitalize me! I feel the inspiration coming forth.
seriously, Creepy Cavern from Mario Party 3 needs more love. That and Deep Blooper Sea.
This stream is entirely Undertale Yellow... because it's the first anniversary! And because the official UTY anniversary stream is tomorrow.
Too bad I don't really have much done for the anniversary (since the piano medley's already kind of a commemorative work).
Makes you wonder about the next chapter... I should use this piano more often. The Lost Piano. Which happens to be the name of the piano library.
The Lost Piano for the Lost Girl... huh. I never made that connection before.
Everyone has something to hide—we all do. So loosen yourself up and laugh your worries away as we recount those terrible tales from times past...
===
The UTY medley was a huge undertaking. So was this music video. I say "music video", but the vocals are not really up there yet, so I labeled it as a "concept" song.
This is a derivative fanmade work, so the actual personalities of characters may not be 100% reflected accurately. Like Bits and Buttons. At worst, this video's depiction is just another alternate universe.
I remembered a particular line from Bits and Buttons regarding a "gossip stash", and that, combined with how most characters in UTY were hiding something, snowballed into this. They all have been hiding behind masks, and I think many of us have been as well.
This may be the last piece of UNDERTALE Yellow content I'll post in the foreseeable future. I'm going to get really busy for the next 2 years, so it'd be a miracle if I do manage to upload anything at all.
I hope you enjoy this, but if the singing puts you off (sorry haha!), the instrumental's right... where'd it go?
===
I forgot to include Forlorn as another source track for this video. It was just kind of hiding there. Oops.

It's finally here! The fifth medley that mixes and matches tracks with each other regardless of the official soundtrack order! Instead, the order will be decided by pace and feel—in other words, it depends on what I hear in my mind. This is the result.
And turn your volume up a bit—the medleys are all inherently softer due to the high dynamic ranges (i.e. the track varies between very soft and very LOUD moments).
I did start playing Undertale Yellow in December last year, but I put it off halfway in the Mines for some reason until April. I've done this sort of thing before and had ideas for a UTY medley, but what really got the spark going was seeing @Woopinah's and @madalynmusic9288's 3-hour piano cover of the entire soundtrack: youtu.be/G-XW9zwua7c
I'd say this was even more trying than the medley I made for Deltarune Chapter 2 and Touhou 19, even when I decided to keep the visuals simpler. Drawing, 3D modeling, arranging music, editing and fixing a lot of mistakes... It's a lot for one person, but I really wanted to do as much as I could within my own power. The only assets I borrowed are from the card game. Everything else is reproduced from scratch.
I won't promise any Deltarune Chapter 3 (or later) medleys after this. Gonna need to recover from the working streak.

It's funny because this truly is an "unfinished dream". The music's already done, however. Turn on captions for commentary—the visuals are incomplete, and there's a mistake in one of the haikus.
Surprise, it's the Touhou 19 medley I keep mentioning, but at the cost of unfinished visuals. I bit more than I could chew, so I decided it was ultimately best to leave it as is. Focus any more on this and I'll be stuck forever, so...
There are some rather sloppy parts which would take too much time for me to fix, but I'd like to think of this as a sort of benchmark. This video is a sort of culmination of my efforts in 2023, and it'll serve well to show the progress I've made this year through the Undertale Yellow medley. Thanks to this medley, I've applied my lessons to the Undertale Yellow medley and can assure you that its music is definitely miles better than the one here.
So anyway... hope you enjoy it. Timestamps will be posted later.
I spent too much time making this and the previous upload instead of focusing on the Undertale Yellow medley. Ha. Haha.
People like me cannot seem to focus. I have tried.
Actually, this piece of music is for a story I wrote on AO3, titled, "This is Death." Don't worry, it's nothing morbid.
Yes, I'm still working on the Undertale Yellow medley. Making progress, that's a certainty.

Goodness gracious. One piece of writing started a snowball of music making and 3D modeling. I am beyond tired typing this description out past my usual sleep time. Can't say it hasn't been productive though. I'm proud I managed to ride on this hyperfixation energy to finish some things.
This arrangement takes MyNewSoundtrack's "Vigorous Terrain" and turns it into something more contemplative than adventurous. The music's optional for reading though, but I thought it would be boring with just text.
too tired to think of anything else to write

You know what time it is. More UNDERTALE Yellow brainrot from yours truly. Yes, it's a fanfic, but I realize I may have just found what I want to do. Maybe. There's another version of this song—a more complete one that I'll share later, but this piano solo will do for now. This song came about because one day, I thought a lot, and it occurred to me: "Why does Chujin not have a dedicated theme song?"
Narrative reasons I guess (and there IS one track that corresponds to him), but I wanted to take a short at it.
This theme is mostly original in the sense that I wrote majority of the song, besides adding a few existing motifs from the Undertale Yellow soundtrack:
54. Blossom
73. Kanako
116. Nothing but the Truth.
That last track is where this composition's title is derived from. The truth is just waiting right there to be found, but the only thing holding it back is the gate in front of it. The gate being 'you'. At least that's what I think.
I'll be honest here: that Touhou 19 medley project had been a real drain on me. It was starting to be more of a chore than a fun activity, so I decided to shelve it (at least the video part). The music's already been done since long ago, but I might just have bitten more than I could chew with the animation...
Just spilling my thoughts here. Edits are pending :)
#undertaleyellow #undertale #uty
This only further confirms that memes really are the fuel in my creative works
Funny story—I went to visit a Team Fortress 2 "Silly Server", and in short, I met someone there who really loved the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise album, especially this track. So I thought about making a full arrange and not just play live for them, so... here it is!
Believe me, I've been working tirelessly (rather tiredly) on the Touhou 19 (UDoALG) piano medley - I've finally finished a section that got me stuck for weeks. I'd say it's around... 55% done? Perhaps. There's still some things to polish so there's that.

I would have titled the video something like "you're a round puni bird awaiting the arrival of the princess", but it's too long.
Lo-fi's no surprise, but expanding my covers to my favorite childhood franchise is one to me! Don't be too surprised if this particular cover vanishes without warning. I'm taking the risk here.
The most recent ending song of the franchise, at the time of this publishing, has some very strong lo-fi vibes in its first few seconds, and that led to its inception here. "Dear Shine Sky" is its name. I think it's a really unusual song for kids to dance to in the first half honestly, but it's been growing on me!
It has some AuditionSEA early 2000s K-Pop vibes going on here... x)
==THOUGHTS ON Pretty Cure==
If you're into hand-to-hand combat and some serious beatdown sequences between villain and magical girls, you may like Pretty Cure (or #precure as transliterated). I don't really recommend watching it like the typical 12-episode-per-season mainstream anime you see these days; this sort of thing is rather formulaic and kind of predictable storywise (most things get solved within an episode. Two at most.)
But pushing that aside, it's surprisingly enjoyable. Some occasional well animated fight sequences and character development along with valuable life lessons make it worth watching at times (but this is coming from someone who's been watching since 2004).
This year marks the franchise's 20th anniversary (actually only 19 full years have passed, there's a little inconsistency since the 10-year anniversary was in 2014, and the 15th in 2018...). I thought I should finally contribute something to commemorate the occasion.

- THOUGHTS -
It's been 6 months since I uploaded something new (that being Thalassic Izanami's piano cover in January). The last week has been pretty tedious, but it's worth the trouble and productivity (though I wish I didn't have to spend two whole days on Python code and re-rendering in Blender... haha.)
I wanted to draw more images since they aren't limited by language barriers like written text. Sadly, it's not in my capacity to do so currently, but I wanted to do something different, so... text with background visuals. *shrug*
If this gets on Bilibili or Niconico, I want to apologize for the language barrier. They're probably thinking "Good lord I can't read all of this", but that's fine. It's the music that's more important; I hope people can relax with this. The story is optional anyway.
==
Lo-fi feels like the next main genre of music I'll be posting on this channel (next to piano). It's just fun to work with - and analog instruments work well with this sort of music. I recorded a good half an hour of myself walking around in the rain with an umbrella, and that recording is in this very piece of music. It's also why I chose to do Kogasa's theme.
It just feels nice when I make my own assets for videos (which is partially why I don't get to upload that often). The video and visuals really play a part in conveying things music can't by itself. I even made use of a pixel-based font made in my spare time (which, for now, I call it Curl).
I still remember a viewer in one of my live broadcasts heard my lo-fi music draft years ago, and they hoped it would be finished one day. That day is today :)
Testing to see if I can stream on this cruddy laptop :')
This was the credits I drafted up before Rock composed a sweet, simple tune of their own. You can hear the influences of this old version on "Into Stardust", the mod's current credits version.
The bottom-left text indicates which MFM/DNM song is current playing. I intended to mish-mash the songs as a way of reviewing the Mid-fight Masses mod one last time before bidding farewell to it.
There are probably other things I could show, but for now, this should be all of it.

First in a three-part(?) series of one-hour piano playlists for Puella Magi Madoka Magica! This first volume revolves around Kyouko and Sayaka. I thought Kyouko might have had some experience with the piano, but it's just a guess considering her background, which is why I drew her first.
I initially thought of separating this into solo-character playlists, but some songs weren't mutually exclusive to one character. Madoka Magica does emphasize a lot on pairs and relationships, so I added Sayaka in since they have an interesting relationship.
At the very least, I drew something for this playlist, and I'm quite proud of it! I'll have to draw for the others, but I think I got the hang of it. Can you guess who'll be in the next volume? :)
I kind of want cheese...

This is also something I don't usually do. An edited reaction vid? Not really good at it, but I tried. I am considering video game covers for other games besides the ones I usually do though...
