Ok

Nah I don't feel like doing that.

It truly is incredible

You have to check out code geass season 1 soundtrack, primarily “devil created” and whatever else peaks your interest, the ost isn’t too long either

I think you should cover some classical/romantic music. I know this isn't a classical channel, but some pieces out there are really quite jazzy, like literally anything by Debussy, Ravel, or later composers eg. Stravinsky. An analysis of Rite of Spring would be amazing.

So cool.

Cool what instrument(s) does he play?

@@zach6789 Viola :)

@@Sebastian5495 do you mean *snickers* the big violin? haha lol funny instrument joke (this is a joke if anyone couldn't tell)

So cool!

No way what else have you worked on?

@@jackthecommenter2768 Mostly console games, a lot of them Pixar-based properties, when THQ had an exclusive license for them (Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up, Disney Infinity). Being able to collab with the super creative folks at Pixar was a dream come true, as they're super-fun, passionate people who obviously love their work.

The Incredibles video game was such a huge part of my childhood!! I have so many good memories of that game. I can't thank you enough for your work!

@@sebYB67 Glad you enjoyed it! Was definitely my favorite game to ever have helped create.

I LOVED playing that game! Gamecuuuuube

Just bear in mind this is an edited video... not to mention preparing before filiming. That said he is very obviously still a superb musician.

We train music memory a few different ways in school. Some are better at it than others

I mean you have to learn those skills at music school

@@maggoteater2290 its natural for a lot

i see that picrew profile picture

This, and Iron Giant, if I'm stretching the definition slightly on "Superhero movie"

@@UNSCPILOT Both written and directed by Brad Bird, interestingly enough. He also did Ratatouille. And MI:III. Oh yeah, and Giacchino scored those last two as well.

Same. I forgot about it, I'm rediscovering it, and I'm DEFINITELY gonna rewatch the movies.

then they made incredibles two that was terrible

No way! It was over-stuffed plotwise but it absolutely fantastic. I didn’t see it on the silver screen but it was great. Unfortunate that they replaced one of the voice-actors and all of the voices were older (understandably) but so much was great. Seeing the first movie in the theater was so great that I conned my sister into taking us again at our only local theater in Alaska. The sequel is not perfect like the first movie but I thought it was inventive, funny, and a logical extension of the characters.

god tier movie

Ikr

Hell yea

What about the family guy soundtrack

Life's incredible again is essential

When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.

Yeah, I've got time

@@ATinyWaffle It *WAS* playful banter

@@howtokdj1498 Cutting it kinda close, don't ya think?

@@ATinyWaffle You need to be more... flexible.

it has to be my favourite song from the entire soundtrack, this is because I love the montage and I replayed it when I was a kid but also because it is made so well. All the instruments blend and there are so many mumps that feel so good.

It's just so authenticly big band

It feels like if happiness was a song

agreed 100%

Agreed. Lost's soundtrack is still one of my favourites.

Ratatouille, Dr. Strange, Star Trek, etc.

woah insane that you were able to still recognise it, it for sure has a lot of recognizability

Word

Yes absolutely yes. So fucking good

" Kronos Unveiled " was an homage to John Barry. It is based on the opening track from " You Only LIve Twice " where the space capsule is hijacked. Look up " Capsule in Space " by John Barry

Also Lithe or Death, by far my favorite of the entire soundtrack

Good comment

my personal favourite also comes from Giacchino, the score of Up

Eh... okay.

@@romulus_music we are obviously missing certain pieces and I think that's because of the 'pixar animation kind of pictures' context because I could only think of the music of that kind of films while watching the video

No solo is immune to Charles soloing over top!

I'm pretty sure this entire film score is "our moment"

@@chipmonkey7266 as it should be

because there just aren't enough 'trumpet moments' in band arrangement, amirite? :p

As a Bari player I cry.

Same

This soundtrack gives me goosebumps! It makes me smile and the hairs going down my neck stand up! Especially the way the whole brass section is so in your face!

this movie is one of my all time favorites and this incredible soundtrack is one of the reasons why

The community here is so wholesome I will die.

That’s so dope man! The lead players name is Wayne Bergeron and he’s one of my favorites ever, definitely check him out he has a lot of great music!

Zane Hamilton Wayne’s cover videos with Louis Dowdewell are incredible (hah!).

@@stephenbeck7222 excellent pun sir

@@Zzaneyy5 I remember him saying he played duel-lead (forgot who with and where I saw this). Though the high stuff is mostly him the other 1st player took the most orchestral parts as Wayne is more big band and the other guy is more orchestral, though they did swap every now and then for the fun of it

heh

The Incredible Alex Moukala himself!!

I see what you did there 👌

Video on Twilight Princess music?

Glad I wasn't the only one who got that vibe - thanks for validating me, alex 😂

If you love spotting leitmotifs, then you must watch Sideways - his into the woods, spiderverse, West Side story will appeal perfectly to you, I reckon

@@AlexeyBeganov Thank you for the recommendation! I've seen some Sideways videos before and loved them, but haven't delved particularly deeply into his back catalogue. I'll go take a closer look.

Aren't those reoccurring themes that might be slightly different each time? Super Mario Sunshine is an amazing example if that's what you are talking about.

Portal 2 has specific sound cues and leitmotifs for every time you use a specific game mechanic

Sly Cooper series does a good job of this.

I agree, but I think that the tension from the min maj 7 naturally makes it sound mysterious

The only way I can think of to test it is to somehow find people who have never seen or heard the movies/music before, play the music, and ask them to describe what it evinced for them.

The fact Bob hums the theme when he arrives home late is amazing

It's literally akin to the scene in Emperor's New Groove where Kronk was humming his own spy theme while sneaking lol

I think there's a large part of nurture for sure, but I can't discount nature entirely. The friction between certain intervals, the mathematical 'ugliness' of dissonance, it's a real physical phenomenon. So when you get those Minor maj7 chords, there's a real tension in the sound. I think the Minor part of it clearly makes it a bit gloomy, but the major 7th is something you normally find in the major scale, and adds some levity to it. The conflict between a minor base, but this major feel on top kind of turns the chord into a question mark. I think this would still be true to _some_ extent, even without nurture. Heck, maybe that's the very reason we started using it so much. So in short, I think there's a clear natural basis, with regards to how harmony works in the physical world, that explains some of the strange feeling you get with those types of spy chords, and then people ran with it, to the point that most of that feeling really comes from nurtured familiarity.

Du du-ludu dudu, Dudu du-ludu dudu,...

@@tranthien3932 oh god, he's humming his own theme song. i'm SO glad i was unconcious for all of this

Exactly! The way it’s sometimes used at the end of a minor 2-5-1 gives a not-quite-resolved ambiguous resolution, which lends itself to mysterious moods. And we often associate jazz in general with the film noir era, so the combination of musical tension and cultural association reinforced each other, then it became used in a few iconic scores, and now it’s an unmistakeable trope: what Jake Lizzio calls “the secret agent chord”. Similarly, a whole-tone scale sounds floaty and (literally) rootless, so lent itself to dream sequences, then became a cliché in that context. And certain sorts of diminished chord piano trills are inherently full of tension, but now very specifically connote “silent movie villain”.

I noticed this watching Twin Peaks the other day, that the jazzy clarinet for the sneaky scenes fits so well but the main theme just… doesn’t. So there is something cultural/nurture when it comes to associating the music with the secret agent vibe, but associations don’t catch on unless it fits naturally.

This guy gets irt

It’s one of my favorites in the soundtrack. I wanted to see him cover it so bad 😭

you should listen to space capsule capture on the you only live twice ost... its the same length, has the same build and similar tune.

my mistake, the track is actually called 'capsule in space'.

@@ShaolinPretzels😅😅😊

didnt know how pure until i heard 12:10

Yeah, for all the references the music makes to previous film scores, there's actually (as far as I recall) only a single direction in the almost 500-page conductor's score that references a movie - and that's "wailing solo (a la Peter Gunn)" for the alto sax (although it was a cue that was never used - intended for when we first meet Elastigirl on the rooftop). Of course, mostly the sheet music speaks for itself (although there are plenty of other very specific directions given) - I think it's just a bit telling that Peter Gunn is the one movie mentioned.

100% agree. Mancini is a huge influence on this genre.

100%

I would have said, John Barry was a bigger inspiration. Certainly the spaceflight scenes make me think of the ones in You only Live Twice and Moonraker.

In short, nurture, not nature.

i second this opinion!

@@lettuce7378 I third this option!

@@jackthecommenter2768 I fourth this opinion

@@cheddarchaza I fifth this opinion

This.

And a lot of times, they hold it out to match the context/suspense of the scene just to resolve it when the action picks up or the tension loosens.

Unresolved and not a resolving chord for sure

I don't know if he has, but there's a great sideways video about it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aruFfbR5nK2wnac.html

@@omnigulwillofcrota8391 Yes! It's SUCH a good video. That's one of the reasons I bring it up, too! I wanted to see Charles' take on it, too.

That be John Powell

YES! Incredibles and HTTYD OSTs are pure art.

That soundtrack is my jam!! I'm still pissed of with his missing Oscar, such a shame

Yeh it’s both now

@@Reuben_95 Agreed

I don’t agree that that nature is the cause of how music makes us feel. To people in different cultures or from different time periods, that chord would probably not evoke the same emotion as it does to us. The way it makes us feel is based off of how music has evolved over the course of humanity. I don’t believe that music has an innate base reaction. Associating music with emotions probably didn’t even exist at one point, but we’ve come to accustomed to it that we have music playing during movies lol you’d think that would be distracting, but we have gotten used to it so much that we barely notice the music unless we are listening for it. The reason that chord makes us feel mysterious is because it’s contrasted to how music is typically played. In my opinion

I play 100 Mile Dash almost every time i go on a hard run. You can hear it so clearly when he’s running on the water, then the horns hit and I’m also a speedster for 2 minutes

Yep. I hate to say Jazz wasn't made, but if I really have the choice, I'd have to say that Jazz was born. It was born in a time, in a place, in people. From there it grew, matured, reached out, spread its wings, and turned into a beautiful and wild creature. It branches out into our culture, communities, now films. Jazz is really something else.

yep. seeing how people respond to a specific sound is totally based on their previous experiences. for example, as someone born after 1995, the sound of eurobeat has become synonymous with speed and drifting (thanks to Initial D). It get's me excited and links to those emotions really strongly because it's something that I've been exposed to through the internet for almost a decade now. But when showed my parents that kind of music, it did absolutely nothing for them.

The first Incredibles trailer lifted that theme outright. The theme has a new renaissance these days in the new James Bond movie, which is *full* of callbacks to OHMSS.

@@Yngvarfo Specifically, IIRC that first Incredibles teaser trailer used the Propellerheads' remix of OHMSS.

So much so that Louis Dowdeswell needed to have him apart of his incredible cover. And holy crap was that a good cover

I'm an amateur trumpet player and I've played cool arrangements in concert bands; meeting them must have been awesome!

Some of the themes from Outer Wilds are also my favorite things to play on bass. The piano and banjo parts to Travelers, the End Times theme is the first song I learned using sheet music, and I want to learn The River from the DLC :3

@@Dreams_Of_LavenderUpdate?

Yea bro

🍅

Bro why do I see you everywhere I go on this damn app

Also the same composer lol

Just went to listen for it and heard it. I had no idea trumpets could go that high it almost sounds like a squeak

I'd say it's just a motif. A leitmotif has to signify something specific, like a character, or a feeling or something. I can't really see that that motif signifies anything except for the film itself.

There are seven possible seventh chords (stacks of major/minor thirds) and only one scale - the harmonic minor (and its modes) - carries all of them. The one known as major/minor seventh turns up as the opening chords of Bernard Herrmanns music for Psycho. Seems he was fond of it.

That doesnt seem to make any sense jajauaua

Then that means he taught you more than you taught yourself? That makes sense I guess… Does that mean he’s your teacher now? 😂
