orchestra Your Reality | from the game Doki Doki Literature Club | Progress Update

I've decided to tackle orchestration again, and this time, I've paired it with vocal. I've actually got into this "game" again recently, so that's why I chose to orchestrate its only song with my own preferences. The main theme may sound like it comes from an anime cus it's from a fcked up anime dating simulator lmao

The instrumentation is fairly standard: 3(III=pic).2.3(III=bc).2 - 3.2.0.0 - timpani.percussion(glock, xylo, sus.cymb, cymb, trgl) - alto - strings

The audio has a lil bit more than the score. It's a transition to a more quiet section, you may recognize a theme that I've quoted from someone from this forum 👀 

Anyways, lemme know what you think about it, I'll probably upload more progress down the line

enjoy

Progress update for today: finished the quiet part after the part from the first post. And yes, you might've figured it out, I quoted @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu's Image in G major (2nd theme). Like, I put his theme on my sketch, pair it with the main theme, and it is just a good counter point for it. Furthermore, I think it fits well with the rest of the piece cus both the main theme and his theme use a lot of pentatonic.

Anyway, really happy with how productive I am with scoring today, can't wait to finish it

Hey @ferrum.wav!

I feel really surprised and honoured that you quote my theme in the Image, I love your usage here! I do think the theme fits well here, though in a more playful mood which reminds me of Alice in the Wonderland haha. This is the first time my theme got quoted and honestly it feels wonderful haha. Your modulations and chord progressions sound wonderful and fantastic, also those occasional playful syncopated rhythms fits the atmosphere well! The orchestration is something I have to learn from. Thx for sharing!

Henry
