His stuff in ATLA was great but oh man in Korra you can just tell he went through a whole training arc and absolutely killed it. I tear up for no reason on the ending alone

@Raecast 8 ай бұрын

Korra is one of the most amazing TV show scores I've heard in a long time. The way it blends traditional western hollywood score, and this eastern/american jazz fusion; it doesn't just make you feel stuff like it did in ATLA, it actually becomes part of the world. You can't think of republic city without hearing Jeremey's music in the back of your mind.

Even with the Netflix teaser, I started crying as soon as the music kicked in at the end. I read the comments and so many people said exactly the same thing. The same goes for the finale of the series, when Zuko gives his speech about the Fire Lord and the Avatar working together and bringing in a new era of peace and kindness. When that music hits, I cry so much.

When I was in high school, I remember Jeremy participated in a charity auction and offered up two signed scores, “Peace” from ATLA and “Service and Sacrifice” from LOK. I was so happy when I won the score for Service and Sacrifice and Jeremy was also kind enough to write me a letter with it. He shared a little insight on the composition of that piece where he almost “didn’t get it right.” I believe it was something about basing the melody the melody around the 5th of the chord rather than the root, but once he made the change it all fell into place. I still have that score framed in my room and it’s a constant reminder of the profound influence the music of Avatar has had on me.

It will always be my favorite show! (Definitely inspired me to be more monk-like like Aang, and nurture and express the inner child within all of us, and has turned my style to more ancient art/architecture/music as opposed to the ultra modern world that California is!)

They told me id have to come with them. I asked them if I could finish my show. They did say no. But my point is this show was an escape for me as a kid. Thank you for that.

I can always put it on when I need comfort, when I need something. I always feel like the show keeps me company when I need it most. It relaxes me, it makes me feel really deep intense emotions, and it makes me happy. It makes me laugh and cry and ache and all the wonderful feelings a piece of art should make you feel. The amount of thought and care and effort that went into this show was truly amazing. It's a masterpiece. It's art in such a way that brings all types of art together and creates something so unique and heartfelt and impactful. Every little detail was carefully thought out. The show was cared for. I could really feel that. I will never tire of this show, or the music, or the art, or the script, or the sound design, or the animation, or the voice acting.

I gained a new appreciation of the track Aang Becomes Ocean after watching the Netflix remake and realized I missed hearing that track. It was still an incredible scene but it made me look up the track I barely remembered and I am blown away by the emotions it conveys. All the grief and the rage nearly brings me to tears. Upon further reflection, this track uses simple drawn out string chords that results in one of the most emotional scenes of its seasons. Much like one of my favorite tracks in book 3: The Last Agni Kai.

Thanks for this video, this is amazing. TLA and LoK are some of my favourite stories of all time and I dare say they wouldn't have been that impactful without Jeremys music.

I loved the ATLA soundtrack, but to me there was a huge jump in quality and depth in the Korra soundtrack. I'd love to see ATLA redone with some of the knowledge and techniques learned and used in Korra :)

I agree, the Korra soundtrack is beautiful and helped put the show up there next to atla for me.

Finally after all these years, I can listen to this on streaming. Do we know when Jeremy will do Book 2 and Book 3? Possibly Korra as well?

I was always blown away with ATLA music and sound choice. The instruments were just perfectly chosen too, super immersive. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I wish this video was out sooner, I did research a lot on ATLA sound design for my final assingment at Uni, but due to insufficient information needed to pass on it. Anyways, great sound work! You guys made a masterpiece!

One of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in my life, ATLA had such an incredible range of sounds and they all evoked so much, from comedic tracks to deeply melancholic stuff, the palette was masterful.

i was born in 2005, so i grew up with avatar in a lot of ways. i genuinely can’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t know what it was. i don’t remember watching it for the first time, because the show and its soundtrack have always just _been_ there. so i’d be lying if i said this video didn’t make me inexplicably emotional
