👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
All the tracks in this game are adaptive, meaning they change along with the game. in Resurrections, the first 2 thirds of the track are ambient while you explore this creepy but beautiful ancient ruin, then meet a new character (a version of the main character who is essentially everything she hates about herself) and try to follow her. The track builds and deescalates as you go, with new areas adding or changing the layers of music used. After you catch up to her, she goes off on the main character, telling her she can't climb the mountain, she's a failure, she should just give up like she always does. Then the chase sequence starts with the much more intense 3rd section of the piece. The really really cool part of this section is that every new room you make it through adds another layer to the arrangement (a new layer of percussion, a new melody, multiple past motifs layered together, etc.) until the end.
wow I had no idea and ive got like 40 hours in the game
Nailed it! I've followed him on Twitch, hoping to catch him some time, as this is the kind of stuff I'd love to see him reflect on during stream. This track builds so much, and the dynamic / adaptive aspect is on another level, puts the Yoshi hooves percussion in SMW to shame!
Celeste is one of those games (along with Hollow Knight and Ori which he did recently) that is just an absolute masterpiece, a work of art from every part of it--the gameplay, the OST, and how these both serve to portray the themes/message of the game, it really is mind blowing how good it is.
One of my best friends from high school, Matthew (2 Mello,) did a song on the B Side for this game.
And it’s probably my favourite track in the game so good work from him
Small world!
2 mello slaps
Legit the best track in game
that's so cool
The juxtaposition of “Madeline and Theo” into “Star Jump” is my favorite moment on the Celeste soundtrack. There are these contrasting themes in the game of accompaniment and self-discovery. “Madeline and Theo” is about opening up about one’s trauma and anxiety to a new friend, and finding comfort in each others’ shared hardships and mutual support of each other. But then it goes right into “Starjump” where Madeline goes off to fight her demons on her own, empowered by her conversation with Theo. But ultimately, she fails. Her anxiety wins in a shocking and horrific fashion. And she falls. The game (and soundtrack) goes from the most wholesome moment to the most intense and gut wrenching. It makes me anxious every time I listen to it. No other soundtrack has ever had such power over me, but listening to these two tracks back to back and recalling my experience with the game and relating it to my own life- I cannot contain my tears. It’s beautiful. But hard for me to listen to.
Really we need a full Celeste OST review, I can't name a bad track in this game while the masterpieces are so many: reflection, quiet and falling (especially the remix), scattered and lost, confronting myself, and there's also incredible farewell music like joy of rememberance and beyond the heart, if I were to be asked to reccommend just one or two it wouldn't be nearly enough
1128 times. That was the number of times I failed to make a jump, or reach the next screen during my first playthrough. The message, and these amazing pieces, never once got old.
Oh wow, only 1128? I mean, if you include the a, b, c sides, farewell and mods, in my 260 hours of play time, I have about 60k deaths.
@@justarandomwoof2247I had about 87k lol it’s very tough when it’s ur first platformer since playing those cool math platformers in middle school 💀
@@okluminous566Since I left that comment it went up to 170328!
I had about the same, then 2 years later I went back and did every level except farewell and got just under 10k deaths (9800 or something)
I like too much to think that Lena Raine is a little "Mozart" of today, she is not as popular as he was, but she makes such good music in every game she is involved in that it is incredible.
The soundtrack for Celeste is incredible, and the game itself is also a blast no matter how many times I fail a jump.
I'd like to recommend, if you'd allow it, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, for which Lena also made the soundtrack. It's an amazing game that needs more people be aware of it.
i think my favorite little musical detail is that Chapter 1's music has this contrasting arpeggio where it's going up the scale and also down the scale at the same time, almost as if it was holding itself in place
and then later on in Summit the falling arpeggio is gone because Madeline has accepted the parts of herself that "drag her down" and now they are working together to literally rise up, so all that's left in the music are the notes leading up towards the peak
Lena Raine did a fantastic job on this ost i could talk about it for probably hours
LOVE that you reacted to this ❤ this game changed my life forever, helped me understand my anxiety and fight depression, and this soundtrack is just so beautiful it makes me cry every time I get to the last tracks
Wow, hearing first steps, months later again, without worrying about trying to go fast or do a full clear... takes me back to when I first played the game this summer! Now I'm playing mods and stuff but oh wow that feeling... that warm feeling of nostalgia... from a time that's literally like a few months ago it's really not that far away but I still already have 265 hours in the game so idk
might wanna fix that typo, i’ve avoided nitpicking stuff, especially if it’s in the thumbnail, but just add an e to celeste. other than that i really enjoyed watching the vod of this surprise reaction
I know almost nothing about music, when it comes to making it, notes, melodies, terminology, but I've found that I'm enjoying watching your genuine first impressions of the music that I've come to love through the years, playing games. Keep up the amazing work! I hope that you find great enjoyment and success here on TH-cam and Twitch! It's very nice to see someone break down parts of songs that I've experienced as a "gamer."
Celeste is hands down my favourite game along with Lena as my hands down my favourite composer so this is great to see
Not so many sountracks manage to send shivers down my spine like some tracks in "celeste" do
The Celeste OST is fantastic! I love seeing people react to it because there are so many beautiful ideas Lena Raine poured into the music in this game. I hope you post your reactions to the rest of the OST as well as the "Farewell" DLC OST
this is probably my favorite OST of all time, it's worth listening to the entire thing
Now that the video is up I've got to bring it up.
The composer is a trans woman. And the game itself is about a trans woman. I'm a trans woman. The game on the surface is about combing a mountain to prove you can. It's a fun and difficult platformer, more advanced than but similar to any 2d Mario game.
But it's actually about over coming your own trauma caused by being fully rejected by society. By being told over and over you're not who you are. About fighting your inner demons of self hatred and doubt. About looking for the proof you have the strength to fight anything that will come for you. It's hopeful.
I suck at the game and expressing my self. But Celeste is a very emotional game, every piece is tied together to shape a metaphor about how it feels to face adversity. Similar to how one would face difficulty climbing an impossibly tall mountain.
Also this composer, is the new composer for modern minecraft an ost you recently posted that I loved BTW.
Hey! A trans sister here :3 can confirm Celeste also hits a very emotional cord for me, specially with how much I can relate to struggling with anxiety and it’s given me an amazing tool to understand my own issues. I also suck at the game but I’ve been replaying it to hopefully get 100% lol I figured if there’s a game that’s worth replaying, it’s Celeste
Maddy and Lena are both incredible and I can’t wait for Earthblade!
I adore the detail that the lead developer made the story based on their personal feelings, and didn’t even realize it had been a trans journey until they discovered they’re trans nonbinary during development of the DLC.
Actually, the beauty of it is, the obstacles in the game aren’t *about* them being trans at all. The anxiety, depression, internal conflict; all of that stuff, though common among the trans community, are also separate. There’s no direct correlation from the basic issues to the identity traits. They manifest into forms based on the traits, such as fear of one’s reflection, self-harm, and dissociation. So although Madeline herself is trans, the struggle is super relatable to all types of people. Someone could have been raised in a cult and totally relate to fear of creepy old temples and self image issues. Just as easily, an average angsty teen can certainly shudder at the thought.
The real nice thing about this, IMO, is that it’s normalizing her. This is a story about a trans girl becoming a mountain climber, and it is *not* a story about a girl being trans. Y’all make up some percentage of people on Earth, and you’re getting your due representation here. A critically acclaimed piece has proven it’s okay for you to exist in popular media.
You know, ever since I started watching your channel, I realized I focus and listen more to my favorite game music. I mean, I listen and discover new stuff in them which I didn't before. I guess I learned how to pick out different musical elements in the background, like melodies and stuff like that.
For example, I always knew the awesome bass in Persona 5 Royal's Take Over, but this week, I discovered how it goes up-up-down-up, so the rythm of it. Which I never really paid that much attention, but I do now! So you are the reason I pay more attention to music now, thank you!!!
can't say enough about Lena Raine's music from Celeste. Would love to see the rest
The "Quiet and falling" & "In the mirror" which is essentially the former backwards would be an interesting combo to get your thoughts on! Definitely one of the best game soundtracks in a long time.
It’s kinda funny - this game is sooooo much harder than classics like Super Mario Bros. Yet, due to the collaboration of music, graphic art, dialogue, and game mechanics, it’s so uncommon for people to ragequit. It’s so immersive that you as the player feel like you’re on a personal journey, too. Even if you take a pass on the side collectibles and bonus stages, and just finish the main quest, it feels so fulfilling.
Everyone who has only experienced Celeste from listening to the music, this is a message for you
Play it.
Love that you got to this one, I hope you come back to it at some point! So many fantastic tracks
One of my top 5 osts. Would love to see your reaction to Scattered and Lost, and Confronting Myself from this game also.
I hope this OST comes back on your channel some day!
I didn't know you had this channel, but I'm so glad I finally realized it. This game is my absolute all-time favourite platforming game. And I'm so happy to see what you think of Lena's music. She's incredibly good at composing the perfect atmospheric music. I hope you will continue listen throughout the whole OST eventually. There's a ton of songs left, but so worth watching. All tracks are so unique and they fit so good in each section of the game. If you like a good challenge and platforming I can't recommend it enough! ❤
Yeahh I love Celeste so much! The rest of the ost is a banger too, hope you got to listen to the rest too
forever in love with Farewell and Confronting Myself
The game is divided into levels and each level has an OST track; a track is divided into segments, each one corresponding to a segment of that level.
The music is arranged into segments so that, in-game, while the player stays in one part of the level, that segment can be looped, and then when the player transitions into the next segment of the level, this can trigger the music to dynamically and smoothly skip/fade from one segment of the track to (basically) the corresponding bar of the next segment of the track, and then that segment will be looped. This is an identifiable technique of "dynamic music" for games that you will see a lot.
This is especially noticeable in Resurrections, where the changes are clear, but it's true of the one you listened to before it, and probably of all of them on the OST.
[edit: missed a detail]
Celeste is one of my favorite soundtracks mainly because of the way it changes along with the gameplay when moving to different areas. On my first time playing the game, I didn't realize what was going on until that intense 3rd section kicked in. I just had to put the controller down and listen for a moment to really take in what was happening. Definitely a 10/10 experience.
Another OST worth looking into would be NieR: Automata, composed by Keiichi Okabe. Similar to this one, the songs are loop-able and change their dynamics depending on the context of the gameplay, with 3 levels of intensity, with and without vocals, and an accompanying 8-bit version for a "hacking" minigame. Also of note, all of the songs (except for one) are sung in a made-up "chaos language" that's described as an approximation of what Japanese, French, and English would sound like blended together in the distant future. The words portray emotion exceedingly well, but they're unintelligible on purpose so that they accompany but don't distract from the gameplay. It won at The Game Awards 2017 - Best Score/Music and is probably my favorite OST to date.
idk if you’ve reacted to Tim Follin, but i think you’d adore him. man did things with retro game sound chips i’ve never seen anywhere else.
IM PROUD OF MY PEOPLE 💪🏳️⚧️
First steps always gives me goosebumps, love that song, love your videos, thay are so interesting to watch
I highly recommend you listen to Slave knight Gael OST or dark souls 3 main theme. Such mind blowing pieces you NEED to listen to.
He actually did that. You can see it on his twitch channel.
The time when music transcends the gaming genre, and it becomes the actual storytelling of what you are experiencing. :D
Very very few games ever capture this feeling right, Celeste and Hollow Knight are two incredible examples of this happening. More game music composers should strive to achieve similar results.
23:09 - There actually is a Celeste multiplayer mod! A friend showed me that to help me do some of the B-sides (yes that is a tape album analogy)
I just got mildly saddened when you said you were going to have to go soon, and then I remembered I was on TH-cam.
From what little I played and even owning a vinyl album of it (even though I havnt beaten it yet heh) the soundtrack is meant to be like a journey, a journey of transition and all the happy and sad times going with it. Like coming out to your parents about your transition and coming to terms with who you are and all of that. If you re-listen to the music you should be able to get some of that.
If you can it would be great if you would react to the song of the same game called "Farewell" is incredible
Thanks for reacting to this soundtrack. You've got good taste in what you showcase on your TH-cam.
Huge fan of the channel! I'm binging your content and just subscribed. If I may suggest a video game song, "Take Control" by The Old Gods of Asgard from the video game Control. You probably should view this alongside the gameplay that happens in this section; it's one of the most kickass and immersive musical experiences in a game I've played in a game yet!
Great video! Spelunky is another awesome OST, particularly the Spelunky HD soundtrack. Also Mario Kart 8's "Big Blue" is another track I think you would like. Big Blue is described as a music battle between a saxophone and an electric guitar. The electric guitar is heavier on the left channel and the sax is heavier on the right to simulate the music battle. Thank you!
Hey!
I thorougly enjoy your channel, its fantastic!
Since you're doing a series on video game soundtracks, you absolutely HAVE to do something about the Touhou Project. Its creator, ZUN, is a fantastic musician and builds his games' bossfights around the musical pieces, so they're an incredibly important part to his output. Also, he's been a huge inspiration on Toby Fox, and since you liked Undertale you'd be really amiss if you didn't listen to some of ZUN's stuff. He's an absolute legend in the indie-game scene and inspired countless other musicians, especially in Japan (amongst which are Unlucky Morpheus whom you may have heard of, they're a popular Japanese Symphonic Metal Band), and has been keeping his project alive for 26 years.
Personally, I recommend "Bloom Nobly, Cherry-Blossom of Sumizome ~ Border of Life", "Bad Apple!", "Cosmic Mind ~ Emotional Skyscraper", "Necrofantasia", "Suwa-foughten Field" or "U.N: Owen was her?"
12:12 if you wanna continue this conversation, one of the most prominent examples in recent memory is the backlash by some fans against Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’s ambient approach to music, compared to past Zelda games being predominantly melodic. Highly recommend listening to more Zelda.
I've played Celeste for over 1000 hours, I absolutely adore everything about the game and have heard every song so many times it's insane to even think about. I somehow still got chills listening to it here seeing his reaction and smile. Such a phenomenal game, and OST.
Hey, just wanted to add something!
Many games (especially independent games, but also AAA games like the modern Sonic games) have their official soundtracks uploaded by the game studio or composers themselves. With future reactions it'd be cool if you could keep that in mind and watch them from their channels (both for you to get the best audio quality and them getting the views! =D )
This OST is 50% nostalgia, 50% trauma.
The Celeste OST is one of my favorite video game OSTs of all time. It's the only video game OST that I find myself wanting to listen to outside of playing the game.
You NEED to react to The Mafia games soundtrack ! Especially the Menue Theme from mafia 2 ! Those are probably one of the best composed Videgame Soundtracks of all time !
Just played through Ori and the Blind forest cuz of your video made me want to try it. Decided to do a midi mock up of the intro theme and Naru Embracing the light. Gareth Coker is such a good composer. Guess what I heard.. they are working on a secret game for a while now. The same game developers as Ori series. They say it will be like the "Zelda" to their "Mario)(which would be Ori) cannot wait to see what this is going to be. I believe Gareth may be doing the music for them as well!!
also , check out a song called "Ciconia - Lobisome" this is the coolest metal band I have heard since Meshuggah, the entire album is crazy good, band is from Spain.
I'm surprised I couldn't find any Shadow of the Colossus reviews on your channel.
Some of the comments focused on the character interactions, but the gameplay varies through resurrections too. The level starts off quite mysterious; the campfire has an eerie glow and the background is sparkly, and you start investigating the area, diving down to find some strange things you can't really interact with.
Then after meeting the other character, the gameplay picks up. The mysterious blocks "light up" and you can suddenly interact with them, and there's a lot of motion and excitement in how you can use them.
After working your way back up, there's a pause in the action as you meet the new character again and have an... unsettling conversation that turns bad, and then the chase sequence is on as you are escaping from her.
At the end of the chase, there's sort of a fever dream where it turns very strange and startling for a few seconds, and you cut it off partway through that.
After that, you wake up and find it was seemingly all a dream, and then play back through a less mysterious version of the level. I assume that would be the next track in the OST you didn't get to, but I'd have to actually hear it to jog my memory.
love these video's please do octopath traveler next! it ost is beautiful.
We love you Grandpa!
Should give Sega Rally's Ignition a listen , particularly the Saturn version.
The stank face is universal appreciation of weird tonal changes!
Please react to the Celeste ost dlc called Farewell, it's really good
There's a lot going on with these tracks. More than I thought lol
Next one gotta be farewell. Last section of chapter 9
This brings me back to the 90's when "trackers" and "mod" files were popular (like th-cam.com/video/zlOxf9a2Eik/w-d-xo.html for example). It has been a real pleasure enjoying some of my favorite tracks and listening to your opionions and insights. I learned a lot, thanks!
Dang you're picking all the good games with good songs!
I’m going to keep asking till it happens (Zelda Breath Of The Wild-Main Theme)
You should react to the whole undertale soundtrack, it'd be really cool
While we're on the topic of platformer games, you should listen to "Pizza Time" from the Pizza Tower OST. I think you would really like it!
Speaking about leitmotifs here, I think a fun series for you to look at would be No More Heroes. Over the course of four games, the original game's theme leitmotif gets weaved into many songs. Here's a sample of a song from each game in the series in chronological order with very differing styles:
No More Heroes 1: th-cam.com/video/ThXV6T-Pq9k/w-d-xo.html
No More Heroes 2: th-cam.com/video/q-V8htEtAYI/w-d-xo.html
No More Heroes - Travis Strikes Again: th-cam.com/video/VOHG__d2r-o/w-d-xo.html
No More Heroes 3: th-cam.com/video/_5fHeD0U3R4/w-d-xo.html
I'm still here! Enjoying the journey you've been taking.
The game doesn't look like the artwork, it's totally old school 2D 8bit pixel art style and it's very well made, it's beautiful! BUT it also is a very hardcore game where you die and retry a LOT even when you're good at the game so I wouldn't recommend it to someone trying to get into gaming, it could get very frustrating very fast depending on what types of games you like
I saw you reacted more game musics recently. Do you want to change the wind and react some different kind of music around the world. If you want i'll recommend some beautiful musics.
Please react to "Somnus" from Final Fantasy XV.
Please react to Skyrim - Awake.
Opening track reminded me of an old 1976 album called Romantic Warrior for some reason: th-cam.com/video/hA7OGf2Laj4/w-d-xo.html
