The feet blur is one of the best running jokes on YT.
I was going to ask about that. Is it something that can be explained or is it a "you had to be there" moment? 🤔
@@martinedeliusFoot fetishists are quite persistent. This is to ensure that Emily's feet stay pure and don't end up on the Foot Wiki.
@@martinedeliusno feet pics for free cause the internet is weird! So you gotta blur them
F
@@martinedelius"no foot pics"
fun fact: the original abzû soundtrack had a seven (?) harp chorus that all played together in the same space! the video from the recording sessions is so cool!
Will have to search that up.
Damn
It's funny that Emily says Abzu reminds her of Journey, as it was made by developers who worked on Journey
omg YESSS I KNEW THEY HAD SIMILAR VIBES 🥳🎶
They've got a new game coming out soon too! Abzu is an AMAZING experience
Same composer too, Austin Wintory!!! Him and Laina Raine (Celeste) currently get me to buy games just to hear their OSTs :).
This has made me realise how much we NEED an Em and Andrew Huang collab video!
YES 👏🥳🎶
First of October special appearance? 🤞
@@ChrisLeeW00 😮 IMAGINE
I've been agitating for Andrew and Rob to have guest artists on Sonic Boom, with the countdown clock thing. You'd be a great first guest.
Emily on Sonic Boom would be awesome
"You don't always have to know how to play an instrument to make it sound good." That one line is the inspiration I needed to get back into making sounds. Amazing video!
Yeah but you need to have above average music knowledge and must know how to play guitar and keyboard
"If you don't know how to play an instrument, just run it through the Microcosm!"
That's basically what inspired me to get into pedals. Your original video about it along with David Hilowitz's video about it made me go
"wait a minute, i can make pretty sounding bleep bloops without know anything about music? :O"
And thanks to that I started streaming those bleep bloops, which has brought a ton of joy into my life, so thank you for the inspiration :3
Found this video through the TH-cam Shorts and felt immediately compelled to find the original and I've gotta say, you did not disappoint. Your compositions sounded great and your general humor as well as on-screen presence is playful and fun. As someone with ADHD the moment you started talking about turn-based games and how "they fucking suck" filled me with such a strong sense of vindication. I share your sentiment strongly with just about everything you said and it got a laugh out of me, as I have many friends that love turn based games and constantly tell me to try them to which I usually respond to them with something relatively close to your points about turn-based games. I've been recommended all types of turn-based games from things as basic as Pokemon, to Darkest Dungeon and many others. You've earned yourself a new subscriber and I'm excited to see more.
Hahah I’m so glad you agree with me about turn-based games!! 😂 thank you so much for being here with us - I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰🎶
As someone with adhd, Darkest Dungeon is probably my favorite when it comes to turned based. Idkw but it works for me.
Yeap. same here. aaaand i found that she's from out on the island! another long island star. makes this old queen super happy-like.💖
Thank u zzounds for that
🙌
I'm with you on the spinning thing. Earlier this year a friend's kid spun me around in an office chair; took me like 2 minutes to recover.
omg mine took like 2 DAYS ITS AWFUL 😂❤
@@emilyharpist um... I googled because I was curious [Trigger Warning: health related Google stress]
Tinnitus and vestibular issues might be linked.
@@emilyharpistI thought this would just he a tutorial on how to learn to play a new difficult instrument..could you do that in another video? Thanks for sharing anyway.
right? i got on this squiggly spinny pole in a playground and friend span me fast i was dizzy for the rest of the day
@@tornixdm2431 those are fun, but letting someone else control your speed was a tactical error.
The bib got me 😂
Seeing all my favorite TH-camrs using your plugin is almost as awesome as the plugin itself.
Well done, sir.
Be sure to take Emily & Russ with you the next time you go into outer space! (also great job with Transit!)
Please collaborate with Emily on something, @andrewhuang ! Been loving sonic boom and I think she fits you and robs vibe
@@Hooples It makes total sense. She and Rob even did a video together.
You are seriously talented and cool. The underwater one was so moving.
Thanks so much!
Also, wow, your first composition is incredible, too. I feel like it's the best one you've done of all of these.
ahhh thank you so much!! 🥰
I agree. It really worked well to set the mood.
2:53 That instantly brought my mind to John C. Reilly's character Steve Brule when he talks about the planets and asks you to name the small planet, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
LMAOOO YES!!! I quote Steve Brule WAY too often in my daily life 😂
A new instrument unlocked, plugins, shilling, video game hot takes, outfit changes, spit bibs... spinning! This video has it all!
I'm here for the shilling, sign me up.
“Turn-based games suck”
Jigglypuff in the background cries internally
LMFAOOO ok i gotta be honest with you... i thought EVERYONE played Pokemon by just making your one main pokemon ridiculously stronger than the rest of your party and then just mashing the A button the entire way through the game
I cant even explain how cool it is to see your creative process, both amazed and envious of how effortlessly you construct such beautiful arrangements, and the novelty of a unfamiliar instrument makes it even more amazing.
(emily gets an instrument she's never seen to write original music) "oh wow, this will be challenging, but i'm up for it"
(sees turn based rpg for 3 seconds) "IF I WANTED A TURN BASED GAME I'D PLAY A BOARD GAME!!!!"
Watching Emily create is like watching a master craftsman sitting at a workbench, just doing their thing.
Carried by pedals
"Spit Bib" will be the name of my first punk band.
LMFAO honestly I love it 🔥
Awesome video! I love that you are exploring other instruments and textures in your composition! Your ocean soundtrack was *chef's kiss*!
So good!
Thank you so much, Brice!! 🥰🎶💖
Your thumbnails are always bangers but this one takes the cake
that BA-1 and Transit plugin are so cool
I like the image of Emily standing at the door as thousands of viewers file out, handing each of them a spit bib and shaking their hand.
LMFAOOO 😂❤️
The clarinetists in the audience approve and will add their own dangley weights. So much better than Dad's old hankie.
It's really interesting how certain scenes and settings just have a style of music that make the most sense. I was amazed at how similar the first two sounded (stopped to comment) and then I imagined what if every single game had Yakity Sax no matter the setting
You've got so many electrical boxes that make music. And they all do different stuff. That's crazy! I can't even wrap my head around that. It sounds good too!
you know what... you made bearable all the waiting in that RPG. brava, aunty Em!!
Love that not knowing how to use the instrument boils down to using it as a tone generator and everything else adds the effects haha, smart and effective
You two have the most fun I think I've seen on TH-cam❤😂
that tune with abzu was motherfuckin magical
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GAME!!!
I wasn't aware electronic wind instruments were a thing. All 3 tracks were great! That take on turn-based games was pretty rough, though 😬 🙂
Just looked at the full video after TH-cam's algorithm showed me your short late last night.
Honestly the music you made is on par with the original tracks from the games. I'd even say slightly better in certain parts. Good job and keeo it up.
Now I know why TH-cam showed me the short. I remember watching some videos from another haro channel I watch.
You got yourself a new subscriber.🎉
I’ve wanted one of those wind synths for the longest time! It has the same fingerings as a saxophone.
ah, thanks for that! i thought that's what they were going for, but i wasent 100%.
Not just sax, but you can set it trombone and a couple other wind and brass instrument fingering as well!
I saved up and it's worth it. You can choose from 6 fingering types, the default is awesome if you've never played a wind instrument before. Putting it into pedals is AWESOME TIMES
How to: mix creativity, talent and humor 👌👌 loved it, kinda want more now 😂
Damn, that's a hooooot take on turn-based RPG combat. Maaaaan. Good thing you're an amazing musician with a fantastic sense of humor or I might be frowning right now. YA KNUCKLEHEAD. :D
Also the spit bib was nice.
Holy s*it you're incredibly talented. I'm amazed by how knowledgeable and professional you are.
love wind controllers, used to have the old CV akai and a yamaha over the years. always loved driving FM synths with them. I bet something like pigments would be monster these days, lots of mod targets
For the first game, what Emily created sounded really menacing.
In the second part I was missing pixies,,, in the game that is.
Section three had the whaley drones spot on.
Been folling Andrew for years. I don't even produce music anymore. But I've been meaning to give it a shot again. I used your code. This transit plugin looks insanely powerful.
Hell yeah! Just when I needed some lunchtime viewing.
The rising note you first played and included in the final track was perfect! I was expecting it to stand out as out of place. Well played!
I LOVE THE EWI! I'm so juiced right now
First minute and her hands are on the wrong sides lol. Never change ❤
And they stayed on the wrong side the whole video...NEVER CHANGE ❤
HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOO 😂❤
@@emilyharpist @emilyharpist Yup! The scoops on besides are for your fingers, and the pinky buttons are supposed to stick out towards your hands, not away from them.
I feel like it makes sense at your left hand is farther away when you play the harp, so it should be "farther away" (i.e. lower) on the EWI...
Then again, it's also mentioned on the first real page of the manual in "2. Hold the EWI5000 Properly"...so let's go ahead and blame Russ lol
@@AMTunLimitedwhy would she read the instructions? She can play things so well by ear.
Emily plays Baldurs Gate 3 apology stream when?
LMFAO
Wow!! The EWI is so neat alongside your harp. Loved all of these compositions, but the tree one was my fav!! 🌲✨
1:14 - In the EmilyHarpist Video Game, this is the sound that plays when you pick up the Bag of Sawce.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ lolololol
Best thing about Emily is everything she creates makes me feel something. I love music that does that.
I need more of thesee types of videos I love how you created music for random games
Thanks so much! I currently have 3 on my channel!
Thanks so much! I currently have 3 on my channel!
Haven even started but that thumbnail got me 🤣
0:18 You had to hide your feet. And I suddenly worked out why. Your under water compositions are exquisite, other worldly, beautiful. Why is that? Because Emily I have found out the secret of your enchantment. Your knowledge of the creatures of the sea, your difficulty with wind instruments. The reason you make Russ wear lobster slippers. You are a Mermaid.
And... can't spin round like you used to? Like when you lived in the water?
Thank you so much for giving up the ocean and playing for us here on land.
Great, refreshing imaginations at work here!! 🎼
a spit hanky....lol
i am here for ALL of this!!!
Her talent is insane. I'm surprised she doesn't have more subscribers. Loved the video!
You're only the 2nd person I've ever seen play an EWI so, as far as I know you're almost the best in the world at it!
Simply amazing Em. You are totally fearless and made all these tracks sound incredible.
Omigod you guys never cease to be absolutely hilarious.
Her disdain for turn based rpg's sends me...
Andrew has a video explaining all the functions. I looooooove all three of the tracks you created. I'd love to hear full versions of them.
Thanks so much! Those are coming to bandcamp and more soon!
Such a neat concept and wonderfully executed
Thanks so much!
Your sounds make me want to play these games
I can spin around one lap, maybe one and a half. What you did was very impressive and brave
Okay. I already enjoy your work. But, I especially liked your piece for Abzu. That was lovely.
magical experience
excellent work on the foot censorship
thank you thank you
Phenomenal . Just say no to spins ❤
I loved your last soundtrack. It fits much much better and makes me want to play that game.
This channel is pure creativity at so many levels. Love it.
A SYNTH THAT YOU CAN BLOW INTO?
WHAT?
RIGHT?!?
I'm primarily a death metal guitarist but I'm absolutely fascinated with your videos. I'm always astounded by the sounds you make. So freaking cool. This channel, Ben Eller and Rick Beato are my favorites.
I'm so glad you listen to the games music actually after your take. This is awesome 😎
Thanks! It’s honestly so much fun haha
As per usual, you are out of your mind😂 Also, welcome to team EWI!! As a fellow non-wind player, I love mine (I got the EWI-Solo last year).
"do not duck with me"
word
The subtle cup swap was one of my favourite bits.
I want an EWI so bad
right?!? WHY IS IT SO COOL
@@emilyharpist it *is* based on the clarinet. Just saying.
Yeah you even made the ewi sound cool. Hats off to you.
Sounds great! I always love seeing the thought process that goes into making music what all the pedals/devices can do. Tip from a clarinet player: You normally use the right hand/thumb to support the instrument at the bottom half and your left hand on the top half
"No way WTF?" Same reaction to the tree game!
I need the tree game. It is my spirit animal.
😂
What a genius concept, also amazing we got amazing soundtrack out of it
Let's go!
1:13 YAS!
😂❤
Great video Emily! Never cease to amaze me!! Beautiful sound.. 🤟🙌🔥
imagining what the heck you would do for DOOM 2016 game footage
I'm still not 100 convinced Em actually blows into that thing...
🌾🌾🌾
I do!! I can post the camera files with the raw audio but I didn’t think it wasn’t believable haha
I feel personally attacked by your dislike of turn based games. I'll go cry in a corner now
Quality content as always, you really nailed all those styles! Oh, and I feel like I too should get a bib to get that pro musician look.
You are doing so fantastic super calming feeling u couldn't even tell that u couldn't play the Ewee far out Emily ❤
One cheat, if you don't want to learn to do all the flute/sax fingering stuff you could use the EWI as just a breath controller to modulate other stuff that has a MIDI input.
For tree simulator it really helped that I had actual nature sounds going on outside my window that added onto the music, all of these fit really well honestly for each of the games
Yeah! You tell those Turn Based RPG players what's what!
Anyways, I'm off to play some Baldur's Gate 3.
As always totally tubular rockin' tunes dude bro, shalom
This video was so much fun! I totally ordered the Akai Ewi because of you. When that bill comes, I am totally blaming you.
Love your sense of humor. No wonder other musicians and composers want to work with you.
Yours sounded even better tbh
Starting of with a hot take rant on turn based rpgs is so fitting. XD
that "just play board games" is TOO accurate, ive since graduated to video games based on overly complicated strategy games from the 90s
Her sermon about how turn-based-games suck is just so cringe but hilarious at the same time xD
You have your hot takes, I'll send an army of Heroes 3-style Medusas and Minotaurs!
...in 6 turns, probably.
LMAO i was gonna say that i like Final Fantasy Tactics, but I don't even think that one fits under the turn-based genre 😭
@@emilyharpist oh my god as long as FFT is safe from this criticism then all is well in the world.
it's crazy how close the first one was
and the second 🤯
Haha honestly it was kinda close! So much fun
Your Abzu sound 😱🤯 I could listen to that all day 😭 Good stuff!
Shoulda brought that spit bib for Oppenheimer! 😂 In all seriousness though you did an amazing job, my favorite was that first track though, absolute sci-fi banger!
That first track was incredible! Great work also loved your take on abzu
Thanks so much!
Love the continuity explanations. Verything else, I adore, specially the humor and the awesome laugh at the back. Cheers and thank you.
They should hire you to score ALL the games! Fantastic work.
Star Renegades is a game i've played, but I barely remember it. Didn't really leave much of an impression on me. I like turn-based RPGs though!
I needed a chuckle tonight. You never fail to deliver! Smiles over here 🙂
