Ruler, Fleeting Fantasy [Undertale DDD OST Original]
347Would you look at that! Something that isn't a remix, but is an original piece of mine! My first ever, original composition ladies and gentlemen! And it's a Concept Song for an original character that shall appear in Undertale DDD Season 2!
(Yea, that's still a thing.)
This took about the same amount of time a major-scoped Undertale DDD episode would take. Mainly because of my increasingly busy schedule, and the fact that this was the first time I've ever composed something from scratch - and in a Drum 'n Bass format! Naturally, it'd take me longer to make in comparison to a remix. Plus, I was recently infected with the 'you-know-what,' so I was decommissioned for a substantial amount of time. Still recovering, but I'm fine now!
Anyways, hope you enjoy this new composition of mine! Hopefully I didn't accidentally just remix some other existing song - Idk, Megalovania 4.9 of Earth 3.0. Then again, nothing is completely original.

DDD Notes
[Ruler, Fleeting Fantasy]
Based on these original compositions: N/A
"I must admit, I was very nervous beginning this project to compose a 'Concept Song' for one of my original characters who's gonna debut in Season 2. I care very much for them, and everyone who wants to take interest. The pressure was on - then, and the pressure is on - now, upon the brink of release. Even more pressurizing was the fact that I'm yet again delving into another alien genre: Drum and Bass. Listening to, and appreciating DnB is one thing. Translating mental concepts into reality whilst adhering to key DnB conventions and advice is another. As such, extra time was required to learn the basics, and go with the flow. Despite multiple attempts to self-sabotage with thoughts of doubt or ineptness, I managed to pull through! And I'm reasonably happy with what I've come up with!
Ms. Mizuki is what Gaster refers this character to, in the latest Undertale DDD episode. I mean, she does have a first name that will be mentioned normally, but since her character hasn't been formally introduced... Well, I'm still gonna refer to her as Ms. Mizuki... Even if it feels weird. This song was supposed to encompass her character - generally speaking. But the funny thing is that this song is very techno-y, for someone who's only 'OK' with today's technology; borderline archaic. I blame it on Es' theme from Blazblue. I heard her theme and was like 'Dang... Something like this could really suit Ms. Mizuki. But how do I go about making something like this?' And thus I had to learn the arts of DnB. Loud, punchy drums in a fast, dynamic rhythm & pace, with an emphasis on, well, the 'BASS'. The thing is, I wanted more emphasis on her melody during the verses and chorus. So, I sacrificed a bit of power on the bass to make room for everything else. It was here that I also realised what all my musical projects - thus far, have been missing: Punchy drums. Too often, I've dialed back the percussion because I thought they would be too much for the leads and bass. But here? I was encourage to blast these things as much as I could! (Reasonably, of course). I still reckon the drums could be tweaked even more to give that 'Little Mac Ultimate Smash,' but as a DnB beginner, I'm happy with the result. There was actually a time I wanted to add some Dubstep wobble bass into here, but it became too overpowering and conflicting with the drums. Maybe next time Wub-Wubs...
As for the mood of this piece, I wanted it to be all happy, joyful, fun & leisurely. As such, this hardly qualifies as a Boss theme. Especially if it's for someone who - if you couldn't tell, probably doesn't like fighting. They're all about that MERCY! As such, there is hardly an ounce of opposing aggression or darkness in this theme. Oh no - that might be saved for another particular main character in this triad of enigmatic individuals... Given how bouncy and happy it all sounds however, I ran the risk of making it... cliche? Or generic? I certainly wanted to avoid making it Stock Music quality, but I can't help but wonder if there could be some tension to be had. Hopefully I did enough at the Bridge segment to make it more interesting. After all, I can hardly say Ms. Mizuki is all sunshine and rainbows...
Overall, this was a loooong composition. I think I need to cut back on the length of my chorus and verses. But it's understandable. I threw everything I had on this first compositional debut. And safe to say, I think I did pretty well. Now, as for my next project... Well... It's another big one. But that's about all I can say about it. It's another surprise I'm sure will (hopefully) knock the socks off your feet! But until then, hope you enjoy this new composition of mine! Here's to Season 2!

Oh, the name? Explaining it in full detail would be somewhat 'hard' and 'inconvenient'... Buuuut I guess one aspect of it is a reference to something... Heheheh."
