Hi Emily. Thanks so much for including Carrion! Your score was super cool. I’m glad you liked my original too 😀
Tried that game, kind of fun for 10 minutes then you just reach a spot and have absolutely no indication of where to go, think it's called the Hazardous Waste Landfill. After that you just backtrack for 10 more minutes until you give up and refund.
@@poppinlochnesshopster3249 I played through it and never had any issues, seems like a skill issue to me
@@poppinlochnesshopster3249 If you're stuck, then walkthroughs are always an option. There's a reason why the game is regarded pretty well and that's because that's not something that happens to a lot of people.
Sometimes you just miss some pretty obvious stuff. It happened to everyone. But calling that the fault of the devs is pretty unfair here.
@@deusexmachina5769 Yeah if a game has bad conveyance that is the fault of the dev.
I finally found the item I want to bring to the 1600s
They'll probably think you're a witch lol
Wow × 300
Which you'll have to plug into an electric lute, better take that and a cycle dynamo with you too 😂
I'd bring doritos too
This is the most satisfying, oddly disturbing, hipster, unique, modern, retro way to flex a pedal collection. I am horrendously jealous on so many levels.
Take my like
LOL, it is on another level
i feel this
It’s desperate and try hard
Whats the desperate part? I don't get this comment.
@@randomdude189desperate? Why? Confusing
You ABSOLUTELY need to start making soundtracks for horror games. You really have a knack for it.
Thanks so much!
Agreed! I want to make a game just to hire her to make the soundtrack.
That sounds like an insult when read without context lol
Dude that drone generator is freaking awesome. The soundtrack she made on the first one is incredible!!!!sooooooooo goooooood
I had the same thought. The levers seemed like a really fun way to operate the device instead of just using a knob or a button. Same thing with the sensor plate on the top. Just a super cool instrument.
It was honestly so so much fun! The maker designs pedals too and I can’t wait to check them out. Kind of wishing there was a mini drone pedal version of it!
@@emilyharpist is the drone generator available for purchase from Audio Disruption Devices? couldn't see it on their website
Ditto, where can I get one?
Couldn't agree more! Those levers!?! Wow! I really just have to build something with such levers. Maybe a control panel for my Grendel Drone Commander...?
Now this is epic
*Strongly agree*
👁️👄👁️
Epic indeed!!
My first Secret Sawce, I’m gonna watch the 4 other episodes!!!!
Very good concept, very fun! Merci!
You've developed so much as a musician - your imagination is excellent and your ideas are always surprising and original.
Thanks so much, Simon! That really means so much to me!
@@emilyharpist - you're so talented and deserve every success.
CARRION is absolutely worth a play through, clearly Emily has good taste in games and music.
I need to play it!
It looks like Resident Evil.
May I suggest 40k Mechanicus? Especially for the moody, intense music.
@@emilyharpist It's a Metroidvania type game, so if you like Axiom Verge, you'll most likely like this!
So cool to see you using an ADD product. Dan is a really creative dude. Definitely walks his own path.
Dan is amazing! I have the L.A.G. and it’s so good!
At first I thought you were going to tell us how you captured the Venom symbiote, trained it to make music with you, and were dropping a new album soon under the name "Venemma." 😳😆 I'm glad we got this instead! Incredibly fun to watch, always have a great time, soooo many INSANE tools in your lab!! 🙌🐀
Can't say I was expecting Trent Reznor level quality on each of those tracks, but here we are. God damn that was good. You should develop them into a little horror EP
what, trent reznor is a joke, that guy hires sound designers since the start. this lady is doing all by herself.
Emily, your talents as a composer and video maker are amazing in the best possible way! Keep learning and growing. We love your music 😊
I've been struggling with tinnitus for a year now and for some reason hearing that Emily deals with it too gave me a little bit of comfort
I have loud, constant tinnitus, and I’ve had it for 16 months now - for me, it really did get easier to deal with over time! I went through a REALLY rough time in the beginning, but now it hardly ever bothers me!! Tinnitus gang unite! 👂✨❤️
@@emilyharpist Same here. It was really rough at first but i'm finally starting to acclimate to it. Mine started from a bad ear infection. Do you know what caused yours?
You can get Bluetooth headphones intended for sleeping in, they’re like a headband, absolute lifesaver if you have a partner who can’t get to sleep with your tinnitus masking music/videos/noises on.
The worst part about loud tinnitus is noises outside the house are hard to hear clearly. Can really set you on edge when you can’t tell what a noise is because you can barely pick it out over the ringing.
I've read some documents a while ago about binaural beat/isochronic tone generators having the ability to ease & for some people even cure tinitus when applied certain kind of ways, researchers discovered it has a lot to do with recalibration of the circuit between sensory input going it's way towards where we have auditory experience...
I hope you'll check it out & find a way to put those methods to good use & that it might help to get you rid of this F'd up condition
My tinnitus started about 10 years ago, only affecting me nighttime when going to sleep so to mask it I would have a radio playing. The past couple of years it’s got so loud I can hear it over the sound of driving a van. It’s just a case of getting used to it always being there. I have a saying “I have tinnitus, I don’t suffer in silence” : )
not only does this series give me an appreciation for synths and pedals, but also the harp and a deeper appreciation of video game soundtracks 🙂
Such a talented person. I was lucky to have found her channel. Music, Technology,Humor . Very cool.
the spinny disk thing is cool, seems like a fun weird way to sequence things, its almost like a music box
It's not unlike what some British electronic music lady did long ago. I forget her name. Either Delia Derbyshire, or Daphne Oram?
I love Emilys devious look when she sips the tea. That cracks me up 😂
😈☕👌✨
This is the first video of yours that I watch and I have to say, it was one of THE MOST educational experiences in my professional development as a sound designer. Thank you for not only showcasing a variety of pedals and instruments I had never heard of, but also for showcasing your own amazing talents. I sincerely enjoyed YOUR soundscapes 100x more than the originals xo
Perhaps one day soon every video game will have Emily Hopkins listed in the credits.
That drone with the screen violence straight up had some oppenheimer vibes!
right?!
Holy crap! These secret sawce vids keep getting better and better!
So many great things going on here!
And that sawce animation is 😗👌✨💖
thanks Chris!!!
@@emilyharpist You're very welcome!😊
That drone box is absolutely insane. like holy bejeebus that thing is cool. Also I'm really loving that beam splitter from OBNE. Gets that wiiiiiiide vibe goin.
That drone generator is cool AF!
I’m only up to 3:56, I have to go to work, but loved during the second unboxing Emily has a little sniff of the instrument!😁
Can't beat that new gear smell...😌
I know I’ve said this before, but I love these “make a soundtrack” videos! Keep them coming please!
That drone generator is very cool. Great music btw!
Awwww yeah, I love me some weird music tech xD
The first song was absolutely terrifying, that drone machine really added a lot to the spook levels
Spook levels are off the charts!
3:47, I thought I was the only one who sniffed my gear lol
you are not alone
Fantastic horror/dark vibes all around! I feel like you are growing so much in your soundtrack music!
I was so impressed at how teansformative your pedals were on the low end of the second track. I admit I was expecting a more overdriven/distorted sound like you often use, but it really did feel like synth swells!
Awesome work!
Thanks so much! I had to go with horror games since it’s October and all! TARS on the low strings is so so much fun and an octave reverb just 👨🏻🍳 💋
@@emilyharpist so true! And I loved how well you captured the ambience on the second - it really felt like you just added some music ontop of the existing track, haha!
Are any of those instruments ones you think you'll continue using in future music?
Yay! Always love it when you post🎉
That Drone Generator is just awesome in every way.
it's so so cool
The second game, SCORN, is more of a weird puzzle game than your typical jumpscare horror game, DEFINITELY recommend trying it, it just has an absolutely beautiful atmosphere
yo that was dope. Really like what you came up with, it suits the games. FIRE!!!
thank you!
Excellent & inspirational -- as usual! Your videos always get me excited about exploring new sounds and making interesting music.
Weird and Emily, I'm here for an uncomfortable amount of time and I'm LOVING IT.
Hey Russ and Emily Hopkins! It takes a special gift of beautiful weirdness to be able to integrate instantly with weirdness and create more beautiful weirdness! Ride ride ride!
Thank you so much Eric! I hope you have a great day. Ride ride ride!
The Dg4, is complete amazing machine and more in the Emily hands, thanks for show us, is posible to buy a Dg4?
Best wishes
You’re very talented I love your soundtracks 👾
Always cool to see you go into a game deaf and make something unique. It's also nice to see someone get stoked for a cool game they've never heard of before.
Love that I stumbled upon this video. Super jealous of all those amazing pedals. But what you did with them, superb.
Dude. That drone generator is sick. I wonder if anyone makes anything like that but cheaper and simpler, probably not but i now have something to research
I love how she just calmly sips her tea while creating the most anxiety inducing sounds
Hey- you’re drone queen! That DG4 is awesome
Wow all of these improvised soundtracks are at least as good as the originals. Very professional musician! I immediately subscribed.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel :)
your music creations are sick! very cool idea getting the weird instruments! these days as a musician you have to not only be creative in ur music, but also business and marketing wise among others, partnering up with the brands was smart together with your sound. u just earned another fan
Ah, I so want one of those speakers somedaym I opted to get a bunch of pedals instead. Well worth, but that's for sure a future purchase. Super neat products otherwise too. Especially dug the way the drone generator sounded. The way you makes sounds sound so musical is rad
I love how no matter what instrument you use you always find a way to use it to achieve the sound you want.
It’s amazing how you use your own intuition and know what type of effects and processing is needed to in order to achieve a certain sound.
(You might make me an even bigger music nerd and to collect some of my own physical effect peddles and modulators). 😅
I liked these songs. Really creative stuff.
thanks so much!
I’ve been watching your channel for about two years now. (you got a dope channel). I play acoustic guitar mainly and a little electric. You have the coolest toys
I just found this channel because of this video. That was awesome hearing the sounds you got out of those instruments with those pedals and the tracks you came up with using them.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel!
Diddley bow?! *Jack White opening scene of It Might Get Loud intensifies* There's still cool new things out there in the world, and that gives me hope. I think it's funny that after we've been dealing with AI-generated images in the mainstream for a while, we get to rediscover the range of things we humans build for each other.
"Who said you need to buy a guitar" I love that intro :-)
Well said, Noyd🫡
Dude you always make me want to learn how to make music. This stuff is so cool.
that drone generator is the coolest thing
Woah! Totally lost in the 3am TH-cam rabbit hole and came across your video, totally blew me away! You are so creative with the pedals and the instruments! Very nice surprise at 3am haha
Haha thanks so much!!
I need a lot of these pedals to fool around with on guitar. I like making “noise” into music at my practice jams. Rhythm can make just about anything work I find!
These are some of my favorite videos of yours. Truly inspiring and also so entertaining! Love love love it! Great job and sick music! I think I would take your soundtracks alongside the original! It just fits!
10/10, would discombobulate and reverse-engineer! :)
1:35 that game reminds me of Grand Prix, a racing game by Accolade that I played back in the early '90s on a 286 PC, among others like a F16 sim, Prince of Persia or Sokoban. That's where my gaming adventure started. Keri on nerdin'! :)
Hey Keri! haha that might have even been that same game!! haha have a great day!
Emm makes a resume video. And we all enjoy the hell out of it. I genuinely hope this brings in more work, you got some good stuff going on there.
Great to see your creative process and how you use pedals as instruments- your sound tracks were appropriately terrifying!
Thanks so much!
This is quickly becoming my favourite channel 😮, how does a person become what you are?
She majored in harpistemology at Hogwarts
this should be a series!
It is! Other episodes in the description!
Never was into harp until I came across your channel. Your Electronica flair is unique
Loved that Burn Slap thing ("Lava Amp" seems apt)! Between your take on the Scorn soundtrack and that last bit with the single-string thing, I'd recommend first checking out the Lustmord vs Metal Beast collaboration, and then arranging an Emily vs Lustmord collab. 🤞🤞
Amazing Em. I think you could have used a slide on the Didley Bo and get some Psycho scrapes that would have filled that out a bit. Top marks for those game themes.
I have been thinking for a little while that I need a pedal that takes some pre recorded LFOs that I can plug into the expression ports of my pedals. Now I know what that pedal should look like -->RuSS ™️
Haha yesssss! Honestly the Pedal Brainz Left Brain does that if you don’t have a RuSS
@@emilyharpist shoot! I didn't realize that's what that pedal did! it's pretty clever and making me think of some fun applications for a raspberry pi to accomplish a similar thing on the scale of multiple CV and LFOs which would be worthy of bearing the RuSS moniker 🤩
Every single song you made here would totally be at home in 40k Boltgun, I kept envisioning myself mowing down heretics to the beats. 😂
Great stuff!
this was great.
thanks!
FYI: TH-cam recommended this. compose dark ambient and create visualizations (still a cl00less n00b) and this video was fascinating, inspiring, and educational. Still feel like a n00b, wow, some excellent tones you whipped up!!
Your gift truly knows no bounds. Thank you for the inspiration to make noise again ✌✌
Thanks so much for being here!
Loved the drone generator! It seems perfect for dabbling in the colder and more industrial kind of ambient that I am attracted to...
Daaaaamn these were super cool!
I can't drop into synths and funky things yet. Still gotta master my chase Bliss stuff ;)
Hey Andy! Honestly, CBA pedals are pretty much synths themselves!
you are such an amazing human. Thank you for making this, most of my pillars of nerdition covered in one video.
You should do a soundtrack for a a horror game. You really nail the atmospheric sound of them!
Amazing video! One of the best i've seen lately, keep up! 🖤
Being able to play with these weird/abstract instruments…..this is what musical genius looks like.
I think this is the best video you have ever made. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work.
I swear, the weirdest tech is the best tech.
It really do
I enjoy these types of episodes on your channel. It is truly fascinating to see what you come up with on each example. Thank you for the entertainment.
your tracks were better than original game tracks. Fucking impressive. well done. for real.
thank you so much!
Emily and Russ, I have been watching your content for several years now and have really enjoyed the evolution of your channel. This is one of my favorite episodes that you have done.
Thank you for making such awesome content. Always looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹❤️ thank you for still being here with us; it means so much!!! We’re glad you’re enjoying the channel 🥰
As a fellow composer, I gotta say your scores are awesome!
Game developers should hire you for soundtracks. You nailed the vibe on all.
I love your videos so much. Thank you for sharing interesting and wonderful sounds in such an aesthetic way
Thanks for your bold and fun musical explorations, Emily!
Again, Em's were better than the original ones. Diddely Bow whole track was amazing. The Unusual EAS bit (at 7:53) transported me to the first Resident Evil movie soundtrack (a unforgettable one with a strange collaboration but interesting results).
Thanks so much! Diddley bow is so cool haha
@@emilyharpist 😂🤣😂 as a dental floss, huh?
you truly inspire me...i cant play music but love your vids...also cant play well with software so i see you doing it all with hardware and its amazing it shows me theres always a way
These game soundtrack videos are awesome, sometimes she gets oddly close to the original too or even outdoes it!
✨💯✨
thank you so much!
I think this is the first time I’ve been jealous of the stuff you’re sawcing. Dang.
I’ve noticed you two using your Moog setup a lot, and it sounds great. As someone with a lot of interest in modular synths, I’m curious about your thinking behind using Moog’s semimodular studio vs building your own modular setup?
I guess I hear you talking about modules on occasion, so I assumed you could build out something if you wanted to, but I haven’t seen a dedicated modular setup on the channel. I wasn’t sure if it was as simple as you already getting everything you need from the Moog or if you’re just taking your time to figure out what’s out there before selling a kidney to afford some modules, or something else.
Hey! I actually made my own setup in this video (and still have it in my studio) - th-cam.com/video/FxCsS2v7rts/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vQFKx3cB_4cjNdaB I use it sparingly just because of the sheer amount of time it takes to build a patch, but I have some stuff planned for it for the future!! I use the semi-modular synths a lot more frequently mostly because the sounds are unrivaled and the workflow is surprisingly quick! This comment reminded me and inspired me to use them more often!
I learned that I prefer your game soundtracks to the originals in each example. That was amazing.
I was convinced that first device was just AI generated but this was an awesome video. beamsplitter sounds huuuuge on the harp
Haha it is very real!!! Yesss beam splitter is so nutty haha
Totally, looks so much like cgi
Having played the game "Prey" recently.. I am very suspicious of that device.. :)
Yay Screen Violence! I was so psyched to see that released with Chvrches.
PS: Your soundtracks were AWESOME. Would buy.
Cool video. You should try making your own experimental impulse responses. You can use any file as a reverb basically and it'll modify the amplitude and frequency response of your wet signal. Most reverb pedals care more about taking relatively simple reverb algorithms and finding novel ways to modulate it like with bitcrushing or chorus, so there's some untapped sounds in the pedal world since there's only like two pedals that can do ir's long enough to be useful for reverb. It might be a weird video but I think it would be cool to hear your harp through an ir of spaghetti splioshing or something.
this is honestly such a cool idea but i'd have no idea where to start! I wonder if I could partner with someone to do this
I don't know if you've heard of Benn Jordan but he's really knowledgeable about stuff like this so maybe try reaching out to him
Amazing! I loved your second game score in particular!!!!
These compositions came out great!
thanks Alex!
Immensely creative and humorous, I was continually surprised and chuckling the whole way through.
Awesome! The Star Song looks like it came out of a Hellraiser movie, but sounds MUCH prettier.
Always fun to watch when you compose for games on the spot without knowing the original music.
Have you considered doing something like that for movie clips?
Oh, that would be cool!😮
It's probably not nice to play favorites, but I feel the need to here. The track you made for the second game was astounding and would absolutely fit in with a video game of the genre you were replicating. It would also probably fit in very well with suspenseful scenes of action or thriller movies.
Lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Heckyeah!
Woooww that was insane! So fantastic work!
Really enjoyed this - Dayum, your sound design skills are OFF THE HOOK! 👏
