Game: Undertale
Song: MEGALOVANIA (Vs. Sans)
We've covered Undertale aplenty in the past but always skirted around the big iconic song, so a holiday was the purrfect time to finally do it. There's definitely a bit of a twist to this arrangement, but we think it's still quite meowgnificent, so hopefully you agree.
Enjoy this bit of April Fool's fun, and we promise the next cover we upload won't be using (purely) children's instruments!
Extra notes on the arrangement for those curious:
Definitely the most difficult parts of this were working with the range and recording limitations of the cat piano. It only has ~2 octaves so parts needed to be rearranged a bit to not drown each other out. Recording needed to be done with a mic because the only audio is a single, small speaker next to the keys, which had the unfortunate side effect of including lots of key clacking noises. I actually had to learn to use some noise filters and subtracting tools to reduce the impact which was a fun learning experience, but it doesn't sound as good as an actually quality instrument.
Also fun fact: This model of cat piano has 5 settings (piano, bells, cat, organ, and banjo) so we made sure to use each at least once! This also helped them stand out despite the aforementioned octave limitations.
