The most impressive thing about the Persona 5 OST is the fact that this was the first time the vocalist, Lyn Inaizumi, had spoken english.
Wait actually? That's even more impressive.
Which is crazy because her performance of wake up get up is a fuckin wig snatcher
@@wereboarder2009 Seconded. wtf? That's proper nuts. I still don't know the lyrics to Cruel Angel's Thesis, and I've listened to that probably a thousand times.
Don't worry about that whole "I'm not the kind of guy who focuses on the theory" thing. We're here for you, and for your unique prism in which you view music. You rock.
Thank you 😊
Yikes, it's hard to be a composer without knowing music theory. Don't get me wrong, he knows some stuff, but music theory is the framework of music, the first and last thing that comes in music development. It's hard to make a review without it.
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade I hope you can do an EU friendly stream some time aswell! I didnt get to see it because it was late at night for a lot of us:)
@@jameswoodland2719 anecdotal but I know several people who can compose multiple instruments and they barely know any music theory. music theory is great because it codifies and standardizes what we know from musical experience, but many people learn by ear or are surrounded by musicians their whole life and can pick up and understand which notes relate to each other and which ones are dissonant without understanding the how of it all. lots of trial and error can get a person to be able to play or write in key without understanding what the key even is.
@@michaelhand4246 do you have a song of there's I can hear? Writing and composing music is a very complex thing, which is why most only hire people who have a very strong education in music.
Fun fact: in an attempt to name the odd combo of instruments and influences used in making the Hades OST, Darren Korb called the genre "mediterranean halloween heavy metal".
Dark Zebekiko, best danced when drunk and really sad :)
A fitting descriptor really
thanks for making great stuff!
Not sure if anyone mentioned it when you were live, but Rivers In The Desert plays during a pivotal battle in Persona 5, and it kicks so much ass. You should check out Last Surprise, which you end up hearing thousands of times with it being the main battle theme.
I Believe is another track that I've fallen in love with from the persona 5 soundtrack. All the songs that have vocals keep the vocals in the game
Yes! Last surprise has such a groovy bass line it just kicks you right in the face!
I was so dissapointed when I got Persona 5 Royal and the battle music is new when you ambush. And you ambush like 80-90% of the time. So you only hear last surprise when you don't ambush and its not a boss fight :/
@@metalfingers2129 Last Surprise is better than Take Over, but it was nice to get something new after 125 hours of Last Surprise. It's at least better than Golden, where the new, better song, Time To Make History is only heard when you don't get an ambush, so you spend most of the game hearing the original battle again instead.
@@senatorcthulu1815 Totally, but some people play Royal and its their first Persona 5 experience. I feel like they get robbed of Last Surprise a bit. Although it was cool that you can put on the different outfits and change the battle music.
1:19:19 to answer your question about Japanese musicians diving deeper into genres, yes I agree that Japanese musicians are not afraid to blur genres/lines. They love to experiment with so many compositions, drawing lots of inspirations from what’s already existing, and play around with their craft.
I was there for the whole thing, it was fun
Thank you so much for hingin in there :)
Small note: Japanese composers seem to not really care about boundaries on musical genres. They seem to just take what they want from or even just make a new song on an genre deliberately recalling the inspiration.
Most Asia tbh. It's seen a lot in J-music and K-music
boundaries? who needs them if it sounds good
You should absolutely try Journey. It would be a great primer for you to get used to modern video game controls, and it tells a very affective, emotional story without any words or text. It takes about two hours to run through start to finish, but there's no need to pay through it non stop, either.
Still here from the start!
I second this.
Never heard of this game, what type is it?
@@cheetored20 It’s a game where you, as you may expect, walk a journey. Most of it is walking around and seeing beautiful vistas. Despite this, it has a really good story without even having dialogue in any form. One of the stand-out features is that it connects you with random people online for co-op. The game manages to actually make you become attached to your companion even when you have no way to communicate. It’s the pinnacle of quality over quantity, as it is a great but quite short experience. The soundtrack is also top-notch, being the first video game to have its soundtrack nominated for a grammy (in the “Best Soundtrack for Visual Media” category).
Overall, I’d highly recommend it, but would wait for a sale if you value length in a game. I beat it in only 2 hours, though I’ve replayed it multiple times since.
I third this!!!
Don't know if it was mentioned, but a fun fact about that bounciness you mentioned in the intro to One Winged Angel: Composer Nobuo Uematsu was inspired by the intro to Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze. You can hear how they follow a similar pattern.
Purple Haze mashed with Psycho...?
OWA makes so much sense now...
The whole hades soundtrack is insane. I think the songs with Orpheus singing are some of the most satisfying video game music experiences I’ve ever had
100%
When he hits the high notes on “Lament of Orpheus” I swear I ascend to a new spiritual plane
Wanting to just stop and sit in the middle of a Roguelike run to not interrupt the music is such a great and weird feeling.
Good riddance is my personal favorite on the soundtrack
You deserve a lot more subscribers. Great, great work. Sharing this with everyone for sure. :)
Thank you so much 😃
I am sure he will get there.
Austin Wintory is first composer nominated for a Grammy for a game soundtrack. Journey basically lets you experience life from start to finish including relationships via anonymous random online multiplayer as well as the the rise and fall of an ancient civilization through art and music. No dialogue or text.
Dancing Mad is beyond legendary. Countless remixes exist and many orchestras have tried making their own versions of this, what an amazing piece for the music world.
Thank you for this masterpiece Nobuo Uematsu. What a bonkers song to exist in this world. Can't help but marvel at this beauty.
I love "Rivers in the Desert" in context of the game. It's played during a boss battle which has a couple phases. During the first set, all you hear is an instrumental. And it sounds really dark, and evil and foreboding. But when you start to push back, and the boss is almost on his last legs, the vocals kick in, and the lyrics are brighter, more hopeful than the music behind it. That's when the entire tone of the song changes. It's not the boss's theme. It's yours.
"A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it!
A heartbeat for a tin man
An oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for
Creating new life!
Creating rivers in the desert!"
The arranger for One-Winged Angel: Rebirth is Nishiki Yasunori (Octopath Traveler). He totally rearranged the original Uematsu Nobuo composition in Phase 1, kept the orchestral version in Phase 2 (originally arranged I think by Hamaguchi Shirō), and added the Whisper's Theme by Hamauzu Masashi into the final phase. (This last one is the short section with the gasping chorus and the sense of falling around 29:42). This track is basically both a rethinking and a remaking of the original classic.
Nishiki touched it! He’s my favorite VGM composer. I’ll def have to check it out more!
This is so cool, man! I think it would be really fun to watch you play Journey on stream. It’s a pretty short game and not difficult to play (only a few hours), and it would be interesting to hear you talk about the music and atmosphere as you experience it in real time. Keep up the great work!
You can also just stop in certain places and stand there without any worry of missing something or not being quick enough, and just let the music play.
1:44:00 Do not use a gaming chair. They are bad for your back when you use them for long times at your desk. Use a normal office chair, they are designed for long sessions at your pc. I had multiple "gaming chairs" and they SEEM to be good at first, but none are truly made for the health of your back or posture.
Austin Wintory’s Apotheosis and I Was Born For This are so amazing!!
Not sure if someone has already mentioned it or not, but for Hades, it would be lovely to see reactions to either "In the Blood" or "Good riddance", the songs. Preferably both, of course! These are very emotional and vastly different to the OST featured in this video. Hades soundtrack mostly serves to naturally flow with the gameplay, setting mood and making it distinctive, but these two songs stand out on their own in their tender, melancholic beauty and I consider them both incredibly touching. I wonder how you would like them and would love to see it!
And cheers for the video and your respect for music.
Yeah, In the Blood would be a great one to check out
Lament of Orpheus and The Unseen Ones are also solid
Please do more Hades soundtracks! The composer Darren Korb is really talented, he's the voice actor of multiple characters, composed all the music, and even sang in some of the tracks. I recommend you checking out the boos fight theme called "God of the Dead"
yeah basically all of the songs are killer
I love, love, LOVE that you explain all of these nuances that are going on in these songs. Even as a musician myself, I'm just self taught, i don't know anything about anything except for guitar. But i just love learning all these tidbits that you add about how these compositions are working together, and how you can dissect these and go over them. It's so fun to watch!
The entire Persona 5 soundtrack is excellent! There are so many great funky and Jazzy songs on the album, I'd highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance!
If the full soundtrack is too much to take in one go, I'd recommend listening to Wake up get up get out there (The Opening song for the game), Last Surprise, or Life will change and then taking recommendations from there :)
Music definitely saved it from being kinda mediocre game. 4 definitely wins it in characters, their development and story. Fighting system isn't too different to bother there. But 5's music was definitely one of it's best points.
One of the (many) things I love about Persona 5 is the style.
It is so unique and stylist, but it doesn't overdo it.
Also I just think it's fun lol.
@@PresidentScrooge maybe for you but most of us love Persona 5 for everything it does
Love this channel , love your enthusiasm and the way you articulate yourself
I commented about Dancing Mad (the Final Fantasy VI one) in an earlier video of yours, I don't remember which one though. I'll repeat it here from the top of my head, and i think it's amazing:
The game came in 1994, and the soundtrack is over 3 hours long. The game takes anywhere from 30 to 80 hours to play through for regular people... It even has a full on opera scene. But the fantastic thing is that the game came on a cartridge that was 2.14 megabytes big. That is literally the size of a 1 minute and 29 second MP3 at 192 kbps sample rate.
I Was Born for This is a gorgeous song! The lyrics are all pulled from different works of history and literature around the world, all in the original languages-Latin for The Aeneid, Old English for Beowulf, Greek for The Iliad, French for Joan of Arc, and Japanese for Matsuo Basho-all about journeys (naturally) and farewells. The whole crux of the song is the French lyric, from which the song takes its title: "Do not pity me, I was born for this."
It's so great to see someone take in and appreciate all these classic (for me) songs for the first time and then to add interesting observations and explanations about the music from a composer's perspective.
I hope you continue to enjoy your dive into all this stuff.
Looked like a really really successful first stream! I just discovered you, so I went over and followed too! You apologize too much for pausing to give your thoughts, and also for rewinding to have us hear something you heard. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR!!! Your ear is so unique and brought out such small details that I (as well as everyone in that twitch chat) had never noticed after YEARS of playing these games and hearing the music constantly. Really looking forward to more, this was an absolute delight. Thank you
Thanks for editing this down and also adding chapters, much appreciated.
Hope to see you delve into the Hades vocal tracks too!
Awesome to see you succeeding on twitch! Just keep having fun with it, that's all we're here to see.
Thank you for uploading the stream! Couldn’t catch it live but I’ll be there next time :)
Awesome stuff man. We come here to listen to different perspectives on the music we love, and you definitely provide that. Keep doin your thing!
Seeing a person enjoying and explaining these great works is always a good time, and your genuine enthusiasm is great. I especially enjoyed your "To Zanarkand" video. If you are taking suggestions, might I offer up some Chrono Cross music? it has a large number of great tracks, with the most famous one most likely being Scars of Time/Time's Scar.
Caught the stream on VOD, what a great start! Hope you listen to more Hades and Persona 5 stuff, they're both very good soundtracks.
I may have cheered when you chose "The Only Thing They Fear is You". And I agree, Journey would be a great game to start playing (if you were so inclined).
Great stream, chat seemed very good on the whole, good luck picking mods and looking forward to the next one!
I'm glad you uploaded this here; I'm often unable to catch streams of creators, so it's nice to have this
I loved hearing you pick apart Dancing Mad as it played, it's always been a personal favourite piece of mine due to it's sheer length and complexity. I'd strongly recommend looking into the Black Mages arrangment of it, it's a touch more condensed, but Uematsu and friends go hard in giving it a metal spin. You'd probably also enjoy their version of This is the Final Battle from Final Fantasy III.
Keep up the amazing work!
You gotta do some more of the persona 5 soundtrack! It's a masterpiece of acid jazz and it's so varied in it's amazing compositions! I will literally watch you react to the entire soundtrack of Persona 5.
eyyy thanks for sharing this with us. glad your first stream went well! some bangers here.
Man, if only I wasn't working that night! Really looking forward to your next stream.
Glad you got to hear the original Dancing Mad, but I'd say the Distant Worlds version is the definitive edition. Also has more obvious metal vibes later on, which I think you'd really like. The only thing sadly missing in that version is Kefka's laugh haha
The Distant Worlds arrangements are all killer. Almost all of them are the definitive versions imo.
The FFXIV rendition is also great, what a way to make it fit in a more modern MMORPG while paying respects to the original. In fact, FFXIV when they use old tracks pays a lot of homages to the original track (Battle with the Four Fiends starts brass-heavy orchestration -> original chiptune -> more string-heavy orchestration) another remix of Battle with the Four Fiends, Forged in Crimson, goes from rock -> prog rock with a choir). The new PvP mode, crystal Conflict uses music from FFIX, Festival of the Hunt, etc.
@@coolyeh1017 Also just the FFXIV soundtrack in general. Ultima - Orchestral Version is one of the best songs in FF and I am so excited that Sokken is doing the soundtrack for FFXVI
Finally had to subscribe! Video game music was my inspiration from a young age to start playing instruments, join the school band, learn music theory, and overall changed my life for the better. It's great to see it being appreciated. I'm 28 now and still have a playlist of mostly video game music lol
Great stuff! I recommend checking out more persona 5 songs, that game is one of the best OSTs ever, so diverse but consistently good.
Great selection of music here, I’m definitely looking forward to you checking out more Persona and Final Fantasy music in the future. Both of those series are teeming with both instrumental and vocal tracks that I think you’ll really enjoy.
Loved your reaction and insight my dude :D Love watching you experience this type of music, and I love that you enjoy it. This arrangement in particular is insane and one of my favorites. Keep them coming my man :D
The Hades OST is a deep well to draw from, glad to see you checked it out on the stream!
This was a great video!~ I missed out on the stream so i am glad you edited this!~
Amazing channel. I'm glad the gaming community is here giving you a good welcome! :) Keep the good vibes!!
Oh btw! Something interesting to listen would the first album of Justice (the electro pop duo) or maybe something from I Am Setsuna the game (it is only piano but is really good).
Couldn't watch you live but I'll try to pop in next time! Been into games for 35 years and love video game music and really believe your insight will bring a new level of appreciation to this genre for people like myself.
First video I've seen of yours. First time I've subscribed to someone this fast! Really interesting insight and commentary. You're authentic and I appriciate it
Thank you :)
This was fun, I'm keen to see more Twitch streams! :D
What makes you great is how much you love music. Your enjoyment of whatever you listen to shines like a star in your features and you bathe in the melodies with an open eagerness that I've found deeply inspiring.
Thank you for taking both Jeff Buckley and FF6 seriously/giving proper analysis within basically a month. Much respect sir.
i'm sorry i've miss the live but i want to let you know you're one the right route for having a dedicated and loving audience that will support you also great choice of songs to analyze!!
If you didn't say it was your first stream I don't think I would have been able to tell! Really professionally put together
If you're interested in the composing process of Mick Gordon, be sure to check out his speech at GDC. Also GeoffPlaysGuitar really mastered replicating his style and he goes in deep detail showing his process of composing.
Especially with something like the Argent Metal version of Dancing Mad
It'd be a great follow up
As a "branching out" idea, I'd even say it'd be great to react to (at least parts of) the GDC talk itself. Since Geebz likes his production details, and what Mick's describing is definitely not… usual :)
Thing i love about Mick Gordon is he always finds a way to mix up his tracks so that they dont feel too repetitive or predictable. When it throws you off its just the most fun thing haha
I'm shocked that nobody in chat pointed out that the lyrics to One Winged Angel are from "O Fortuna", Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Many advanced Latin students would learn it, and it's a very popular classical piece of music.
It's Latin. That's all we need to know 😂
Dude, you’re so awesome! Thank you for recognizing gaming as an art form. Im a full grown millennial (32) whose parents never recognized gaming beyond Tetris, it’s great seeing an older generation who knows nothing about it try to learn about it and teach us his views on his knowledge of the art in front of us. You deserve all the success you receive and some!
Persona 3, 4, and 5 have banger soundtracks
I'm so glad you got to listen to some Persona 5 music there, that whole soundtrack is amazing. Overworld from Final Fantasy X would be a good one to listen to, especially since you have a metal channel as well.
Freaking love this, could practically watch people react to the music of my childhood all day xD. Followed you on twitch too!
That's the most simplified OWA orchestra I've seen and they did a good job
I saw "Dancing Mad" and I said 'lol be ready to be there for like 16 minutes" and then you were like "this is 17 minutes long" and I died of giggles. Kefka is just extra like that. He really said "my theme song is gonna be 1/4th of an hour long and what are you gonna do about it? nothing. you're gonna dance mad. enjoy." and we DID. xD
Which is funny because if you only ran each movement once, the song is actually only like 8 or 9 minutes.
I just found you today, but I'm really excited to catch your next stream!
Dancing mad is probably one of the best piece ever written for a video games ! Uematsu is just a legend
Final Fantasy 6 is my favorite of the series. It is so good.
Really enjoyed the stream thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
I just discovered your channel here today and watched this stream on twitch.
Somebody's probably told you this already, but just in case they haven't, one of my favourite things about One Winged Angel is that the Latin lyrics are all random phrases from Carmina Burana. Very cool inspiration for a modern masterpiece!
Hades is one of the best games of all time and the soundtrack is fire!
love these reactions!!
This was so much fun. Been watching your metal reactions. So happy to see you enjoying some if my favorite video game soundtracks. Will be here for any more you cover. I recommend the abyss watchers from dark souls 3. Have fun with the journey!
Thought I'd mention since you've listened to a couple Journey songs already. Austin Wintory (Journey's composer) has a video with the complete soundtrack and text commentary on his channel. You might find his comments on developing for a video game interesting. There's also a video of the soundtrack re-orchestrated for the anniversary of the game.
You should totally play Journey, it’s only a few hours long. Very chill and easy to play.
Hope you do the whole journey ost straight through one day - it totaly deserves it.
Oh man Geebz, first you reacted to the types of metal music I like. Then you started reacting to anime- and video game music which I love but which I also share a passion for with my friends, so now I can share your videos with them as well... And now you've started streaming on twitch which I like using and I've always thought it would be a great platform for the things you do and to expand this concept of music reacting that you're evolving and making more and more interesting as this journey continues. You're checking all the boxes man, love it! Keep it going Geebz!
Not only is it Latin, all the lyrics in One Winged Angel besides Sephiroth's name are chopped from various parts of Carmina Burana.
And to clarify, Vocaloid is a program for synthesizing vocals, and also what an individual voice package and the fictional character representing it is called. Ex: 'Hatsune Miku is a vocaloid whose vocals you can compose with Vocaloid.' Think "Vocal Droid." Languages like you were referring to are called constructed languages or conlangs.
This was a real treat! Loved every second of it 😃! I will see if I can catch a stream at some point, but I live in Europe so the time-zones will probably be an issue, haha
I was happy to hang out with you for the whole stream, as a musician and gamer.
Going from the DOOM Eternal soundtrack to Journey must be the most violent musical whiplash ever LOL.
Two masterpieces in their own right. The duality of man.
Love it! Video game music is so underrated, so many phenomenal OST's out there Persona 5 being one of my all time favorites.
Sick stream man, love your takes! At 52:15, you mentioned the very delicate hi hat sounds from the drumming. As someone who has played through the game and listened to this very track a LOT, I had never ever noticed that before and yet you picked up on it immediately! Loved the stream and just as much that you uploaded it here!
EDIT: Don't think too much of people that are unspeakably fast to point out stuff like "how do you not know this or that", there's bound to come such people even if you bring it up. I completely understand why you want to make it as obvious as possible, that you're only human like the rest of us - but people will come and go regardless. You're a very sincere and nice guy for bringing it up, and that by itself is enough!
Geeebz! Hell yeah. Great video
Oh this is a VOD I gotta go back and watch.
I'm so happy! You did One Winged Angel x2 AND Journey. My two biggest video game reaction hopefuls.
Thank you Geebs! You're awesome!
Awesome stream, man. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much for this! I’m hoping I can make the next one.
Every time I hear "I was born for this", something gets in my eyes. It will be played at my funeral.
So glad you did Dancing Mad!
1:19:25 finally someone else suggesting jet set radio future songs! Concept of love by hideki naganuma, "funky dealer" and "oldies but happies" are absolute master pieces! Please look into these you would love them
I'm still blown away by how authentic the low frequency bass feels on this SNES church organ
So cool to see you listen to these pieces on stream! Journey would be a great game to start with if you were gonna play, it's very accessible and only an hour or two long.
Mick Gordon understood the assignment: rip and tear until the work is done.
Keep doing what you're doing man :)
Hi! Just stopping in to recommend a singer. Their name is “Ado” (pronounced, a-doe) song name “Ussewa” (pronounced, U-se-wa) It’s a much different song than anything I have heard at least, so I thought you might find this song/singer fun to listen to. 👍
Oh my god I saw someone in chat mention the Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack and YES! Teknopathic and Sweet Soul Brother are some of my favorites from that, but anything from that game is such a trip into different genres, they're all great.
Smiling throughout the whole video. You seem like a really cool guy. I'd really recommend playing Journey as it's very pretty and not too long. Each time I've played it, it's been from start to finish in a single sitting.
Having now heard a bit of Persona 5, I can't recommend 'last surprise' enough. Give it a listen.
Damn, I think I’ll make a twitch account just for this! What an excellent video.
Those are a awesome set of music you've just listen to! I hope to see more reactions to Persona 5, Hades, and Final Fantasy music! For Hades I hope to see your reaction on In the Blood and For Persona 5 Royal I Believe.
