- There is no instrument more versatile than the organ, so why is it always used to accompany scary and powerful video game enemies? In this video, we talk about how organs make sound, and why composers use them the way they do, so we can understand whether the organ is scary, or if it's just the music.

It probably takes a genius to play one of these things.
My grandmother was an organist for well over 60 years. What's even crazier is that when she was older she had gone almost completely deaf but managed to memorize what everything felt like.
WOW!!! I am an organist, and this video is the most accurate one on organ music in video games I have seen. Do you play the organ? You know all the organ terms and you show some Roman numeral analysis. This video was really fun to watch! I didn’t know there was so much organ music in video games. Thanks!
Thank you! I've played organ for about 15 years, so I'm always tuned in when one appears in a video game (which is surprisingly frequent, and almost never accurate!)
I’m an organist and I expected this to be awful. And it was brilliant! This might be one of the best explanations on TH-cam of how organ registrations work. Nice job!
Thank you! I'm an organist myself, so I really wanted to make sure I got everything right!
Gaming bard I’m very glad you’ve reached 1k subs so idk what your going to do with your channel moving forward
Thank you so much! I've had to slow down a bit because we had a baby and I started a new job, but I'm still working on videos! Right now I've got something for Hollow Knight in the works, so stay tuned!
Dark messenger from ff8 never fails to send chills down my spine.
great video and underrated channel
Thank you!
Immediately after finishing this video I went to watch something completely unrelated on TH-cam and it was preceded by an ad that used Tocatta in D minor…
'Tis the season 🎃
I was wondering if you could link your references? I'm asking as I'm currently writing my dissertation on why the pipe organ sounds evil. It would be a great help to my research. I also wanted to ask if you minded me using your video as a reference for my work?
great video btw!
Thanks! I would be happy for this video to be a reference for your work. I'm afraid I can't be much help in pointing to other resources, as the information in this video is mostly just gleaned from my 20 years experience as an organist. If you have any specific questions about the instrument, styles, or use in video game music feel free to shoot me a DM on Instagram @the.gaming.bard and I'll help if I can!
Mr bard do you know about maestro forte from beauty and the beast he’s a pipe organ too
Are more videos coming?
Yes! I've had to slow down because of major life changes, but a video about the music of Hollow Knight is in the works right now!
Do you know forte from beauty and the beast he’s a pipe organ too?
I never saw that movie, but reading about him makes it sound like they leaned real heavily on the "evil scary organ" trope!
