So I shared my plan
So I shared my plan on the community page detailing the rest of the Deltarune tracks I planned to orchestrate, and a lot of people noticed Vs. Susie was not one of them and loudly voiced their desire for me to arrange it. I was thinking, ok I'll probably save it for last, but thought it would be cooler to surprise drop this track first!
The reason I did not consider this one was because the track has an intense heavy metal, and translating it to an orchestra would change the feel of it. I started out adding the electric guitar and designing the orchestra around it, but that didn't sound right either. Then, I thought, maybe I should approach it like I did with Megalovania and just go big with the Hans Zimmer-ish percussion, but I didn't want to retread similar ground. This was tough as I didn't want this track to sound like an afterthought.
While experimenting with the percussion, I came upon a winning combination: Cajon + Drumkit. I used this in Field of Hopes and Dreams with the drums as more of a support, but here I tried to utilize both equally. At my church, the hall we use for worship is not good for drums, so we have people use cajon for a better mix. It works well enough, and as I listen to people play and experiment with it, I feel like, even if we eventually incorporate drums into the band, the cajon could still be utilized to enhance the mid-high range frequencies. So here, the undercurrent of the fast and aggressive cajon is meant to symbolize Susie's rage. While it's a bit hard to hear specifically, I spent quite a bit of time writing out different rhythms and transitions for the development of each portion of the track.
If the percussion and the repeating ostinato represents Susie's exterior demeanor, then the soulful cello, high strings, and trumpet characterize Susie's inner thoughts. I thought it would be cool to really draw out the emotion and justapose it with the angry motif, as if these instruments think they're playing a different song. Until the ending, I kept the beats and harmonies intact, and a big challenge was to try and have the strings play long notes that soar above the general discord in the song. We can see throughout the game that while she's kind of a loner, she has a desire for friends, but she has trouble voicing her feelings and generally doesn't like to display much sentimentality. She also flip flops from hero to villain and back because she is trying to find her identity to excel as. It'll be interesting how toby fox will flesh out her character in the future.
Deltarune Orchestrated will be available on iTunes/Spotify upon completion of the album.
