I love this video. Wish I knew where I could find all these musical stingers and short pieces to listen to. my favourite ones are the ones during sad moments.
Do you have a list of VST's that you would recommend for this style?
This is an incredible piece of music. Awesome work, Gary. I just subbed to your channel. I am so pumped up!!! Thank you for sharing this.
So great harmony and orchestration!! And the samples sound very nice! Congratulations!
Wow Amazing arrangement thank you for this lesson
great!!
Wunderschöne Melodien, Glückwunsch!
Amazing video!
4:31 is so close to the Mission: Impossible Theme lol. Also, Mission: Impossible 3-5 use a surprising amount of 7/8 in the soundtrack.
Muy merecido puesto!
Super Bro 🔥🔥🔥
What is the library for the solo violin?
The libeary is called Thea. She's a good friend of mine and a very good violinist who was so nice to record the solo violin part of this piece in my studio.
This sounds fantastic, Gary! Perfectly suited to the film and very impressive production. I’m really curious, is this all programmed or is it a combination of midi and real musicians.
Thanks for your kind words! It's all made with virtual instruments. One library that really helped me to achieve more realism is "Berlin Woodwind Soloists". But I think the piece would sound much better with real players.
@@hirchemusic Wow, that’s very impressive programming and mixing. Well done! I hope it’s ok if I email some questions about it. Found your address on your website.
Congratulations! Excellent work!!
Thanks so much!
People say texture is my biggest strength, so this is personally very helpful. Good video 😊
Such an excellent analysis. I have no idea about music (literally no background at all), but you made everything easy to understand and fascinating. It adds a whole other layer to BES that I hadn’t even considered. Great video editing too ! I love this show so much.
Congratulations!… and please do a breakdown of this gorgeous piece of music
amazing analysis - thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge with us !!!
This analysis of the OST from Blue Eye Samurai is (one of) the best i've come across, not just talking about BES but of all OST videos on YT in general, really good job!
Beautiful
Your channel is excellent!
I can't help but disagree with the main premise of this video. From the first few minutes of the first episode I could not help but fall in love with this score. I think it helped me fall in love with the whole series. The music of this show is amazing. Thanks for this video and its analysis of this score.
Hey @user-db8gq7tf3l thanks for your comment and for your critical feedback. Am I getting you right, that you think the main idea of the video is wrong in the way, that the score is very noticable and not in the background at all? My answer to this would be, that for me the music of BES is unobtrusive, but not unremarkable! I absolutely agree with you that it is indeed a great score and one of of it's qualities is, that it doesn't surpass the picture, it has no need to help the action by exaggerating and it takes its time. Some people - like you - might notice it right from the start, others might not notice until the end why the show is so immersive (great part of it is, of course, the music). How far in the background one perceives the soundtrack is subjective. But for me playing a great supporting role is one of the greatest things to be achieved artistically. If I wouldn't think so, I shouldn't have become a film composer. Part of why I made the video, was because I wanted people to notice Amy Doherty's mastery. If you got it right away, that's great! Thanks again.
@@hirchemusic I think I need to apologise for the strong wording of my comment. You are absolutely right in as much as the music complements the narrative, it uses dialogue and sound effects to shift and change with the action. What I wanted to say is that despite its subtlety, it is such beautifully written music that I could not help but notice it. It speaks to you just as powerfully as the images and the dialogue. In the final episode (I think) 'Misu's rebirth almost made me cry. I have to admit that, although I do not understand music, I do notice the music in films and this just stood out. As I said, I know nothing about music but I love watching videos like yours where music is broken down and explained. It really shows the thought that goes into a score. Please continue your work because it is highly edifying and interesting. Well done
Beautifully orchestrated theme - thanks for sharing! I was delighted to hear you have a whole album of this kind of thing and immediately went to listen. :)

It's funny, I've watched this series many, many times, and its soundtrack is so perfect, yet I could never recall it. It really does slip into the background. Yet whenever I hear those motifs, they immediately trigger my obsessive love for the show.
Gary du geile Sau!
Congratulations Gary!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous piece! The simple tune paired with rich harmonies gives such a tender and bittersweet feeling. This was my favorite piece in the livestream.
Thank you very much! Bittersweet is a good word for what I am going for in a lot of my compositions.
Wins!
Beautiful, various composition, telling a story. Nice build up to the main theme. And congrats for reaching the finalists. See ya at the live stream ;-).
You said it!
Thanks a lot! It means a lot to hear this from a former winner of the competition (great piece, by the way). I also saw your name on the finalists list, so congrats to you too!
Congratulations Gary! Beautiful musica as always!
Bravo Gary! Wonderful music !!!
Thank you so much for the music, I absolutely love the detail you put into this work. I actually have a lot more questions about the "blue eyes samurai theme" which you use to seperate sections of the video. I have been trying to figure what istrument or instruments were used to make that intense deep bass string sound. I would love a more thorough breakdown of just that theme or I would be satisifed with just the knowledge of how they made that sound.
I also love the beefy low end of the interludes. Since I don't have a score or any contact to the composer, I can only give you my best guess based on the analysis I did for this video: since the leading plucked Instrument is a shamisen (which is used throughout the whole season), my idea is that the bass comes from an atificially pitched down shamisen. During my research I could not really find footage of a bass shamisen, but I heard at least that they exist, but they are really rare. So I think, Doherty pitched down a shamisen with an octaver pedal or some kind of plugin and maybe she also added an extra electric bass to give the sound more sub frequencies. Then of course some additional compressor and equilizing to make it fatter and so you get a pretty great bass sound from a rather thin melody instrument. I hope this answers your question. Have a nice day!
How did I miss your channel!? Brilliant content mate. Cheers!
I am glad you like the stuff, that I like to think and talk about! Welcome aboard!
Wonderful writing and mockup. Also this must have been a ton of work to video edit! Thanks!
You bet it was. :) It's really nice, if someone who knows what he is talking about, also appreciates the editing details. Have a great day!
Wow what an excellent video. It's really great to hear about the intricacies of the music, how it relates to the broader themes of the show, as well as the culture it is inspired by.
Bravo for your videos, and your album is great! 👏👏
Very nice. Lots of energy. Great sound
This is amazing! I love your analysis style with the musical visuals so much! Blue eye samurai has one of my favorite soundtracks!! Thank you for posting! Excited to see more of your stuff! 🙌
Thanks a lot for your appreciation! Getting the musical visualization right was a lot of trial and error, but I am happy it paid off.
This video is art
thank you i was waiting for someone to talk about the music!!!
Extremely well done and well presented. Thank you for your insight, your explanations and the excellent music.
So good analysis, I don't know anything about music, but I really loved the ost of blue eye samurai and this analysis helps me a lot to understand how and why the themes are so good
Hey, I am really happy that this video also speaks to non-musicians and offers some insights how the story and the music of this anime interact. Can't wait to see the second season. Cheers!
great video, keep up the good work! :))
this is an incredible analysis and such a well crafted video!
This was so interesting to learn about. This series and the music has really stuck with me and you explaining its intricacies makes it even better.
Thank you, i deeply appreciate this video.
loved this
Holy shit I've been looking for a channel like this ever since sideways stopped posting, keep it up!
Very nice case study! Thank you for this. Hope to see more videos like this in the future 👏🏻
