Spectrum Obligato ~ Ebb & Flow (Out of Order) is a song performed by Off the Hook featuring Dedf1sh. It is played during the final boss fight of Side Order.
Description
Spectrum Obligato ~ Ebb & Flow (Out of Order) is an upbeat arrangement of Ebb & Flow. Acht is also featured, likely splicing Marina's vocals and adding record scratches. The song is played during the fourth phase of the first battle against Overlorder in Side Order.
Marina's scat vocals from the original Ebb & Flow are spliced and added to the song, as well as her freestyle lyrics from live shows.
In-Game Version
In-game, Spectrum Obligato is split into different segments, which would transision to the next as naturally as possible:
- After the cutscreen of Overlorder executing the mass Greyscaling, during the rhythm minigame, three different layers of music will slowly fade in the further the player gets. This 'phase' does not appear in the soundtrack version of the song, nor can it be replayed. Once the minigame is completed, it'll end with a short transision tune
- The jukebox song starts with the pre-intro, which also plays during the cutscreen after the minigame leading up to when Pearl uses her voice to blow the roof of the Spire of Order. The silent transision into the intro is faster on the jukebox version compared to the transition in game.
- When starting from reliving the memories of the Vibrant, Epic Battle, the song starts with the intro phase, which includes an extra sixteen bars compared to the jukebox version. This plays until just after the player gains control of Eight, before transitioning into the first phase proper
- The first phase starts with Pearl and Marina singing the first few lines of Ebb and Flow, while Acht adds in samples of their singing of other versions.
- The second phase, which will be transitioned into once three portals are destroyed, starts with a bridge into the chorus of Ebb and Flow, although said chorus is cut off a little early to add in an extra bridge before the chorus repeats.
- The final phase can only be heard through the Vibrant Epic Battle, after Overlorder's shield is broken and the ability to use the Color Wail is accessable. This phase consists of eight bars which repeat until Overlorder if defeated, with only Pearl's singing which is distorted on top of the backing track.
Samples and interpolations
Marina rescued cutscene
After completing the first boss fight against Marina Agitando on the first climb in the Spire of Order, the Spectrum Obligato motif plays as Agent 8 catches Marina in slow motion.
Side Order floor cleared jingle
The recurring melody of Spectrum Obligato is reharmonized as the jingle that plays after clearing a floor during a normal run in Splatoon 3: Side Order. It also intensifies after beating the first and second bosses.
Etymology
Spectrum refers to the theme of color in Side Order and the series as a whole. In classical music, obligato indicates an essential part of a composition that must be played as written (the opposite of which is improvisation). This could refer to the motif heard throughout the game being highlighted in the track, or the obligatory inclusion of Ebb & Flow in the game's finale.
Names in other languages
The name of the song is the same as English in all languages except for Japanese.
