DELTARUNE Chapter 1 Orchestrated - Checker Dance (K. Round fight)

DELTARUNE Playlist -    • DELTARUNE Orchestrations by The Secon...  

This is like the "filler track" that I added to expand out the Deltarune orchestration album. The K. Round checker guy makes brief appearances in EP 1 & 2, and I hope the next time we see him, he becomes even more powerful and silly. Perhaps in chapter 3, toby fox increases the intensity of the track, and I imagined my orchestration as an arrangement of that version.

The style of the track I imagined as somewhere in between Vs Suzie and Chaos King, and I kept the instrumentation roughly the same. My prompt for here was that I wanted each orchestra section to feel like they're all going in different directions, not really working together. Sometimes one section is playing the accent beats, while the other plays the super fast fill motif, and while one tries to sound serious and epic, the other is concerned with goofing off.

The funniest part is at the end, I had the idea of the strings trying to take more focus back and stumbled on a cool ending tag. It has major influences from Xenoblade II's Crossing Swords, and the general feel of an Octopath Traveler battle track. (OMG I can't believe how amazing the Octopath Traveler II soundtrack is!). From all the chaos and mess, the sections come together and play out a banger and leave.

Deltarune Orchestrated will be available on iTunes/Spotify upon completion of the album. This is 14/20
