Summary
'Another Medium' is primarily used as the theme of Hotland.
It's split into two parts:
('Another Medium' A and B, as heard in Another Medium )
The melody also has an accompanying ostinato, which is also heard elsewhere in the soundtrack:
('Another Medium (Ostinato)' as heard in Another Medium )
This ostinato is also debatably heard in An Ending , Don't Give Up , Respite , and (even more debatably) Reunited . A proper analysis of those is forthcoming.
In CORE , Death By Glamour , and Bring It In, Guys! , 'Another Medium' is accompanied by the CORE's own leitmotif, 'CORE':
('CORE' as heard in CORE )
Finally, it should be noted that the 'Another Medium (Ostinato)' originates from a prior Toby Fox composition, Patient , as discussed on the page 'On the Origins of Undertale and Deltarune's Leitmotifs' .
