I'm Joel, and I compose music for video games from the studio in my attic. I've composed for Halo, Mortal Kombat, Sonic the Hedgehog, Gorogoa, The Unfinished Swan, Eastward and a lot more. I'm going to be sharing my knowledge about every aspect of being a composer!
Thank U (Alanis Morissette Cover)
Heard this recently after years and something about it spoke to me so I banged this out in a few hours.

Made some recordings of our concurrent 13 & 17 year cicada season and wanted to share some of what I found!
Teaching has helped me understand my role as a composer better than anything I've done.

I fell in love with this song as a kid. These was something about the mood and the tone that felt transcendent and otherworldly. I did this cover a few years ago and it felt like it was time to share it. Photo Credit: unsplash.com/photos/white-clouds-over-mountain-during-daytime-jg4pkrwaico

who's your favorite composer, if you have one?
tough question, but probably Jóhann Jóhannsson (for film) and Steve Reich for more modern concert music or maybe Stravinsky haha
AHHH I loved the music in Eastward! This was a nice insight!
Will this track be added into your next album? I heard you were doing 2 albums and one is released
it's not on the next one but it... might show up somewhere else 🙃
@@joelcorelitzmusic okay, it definitely should be released, I gives me Minecraft vibes
Would love to see more Synth Geek Technique videos.
I love this song, and this is really well done! Great cover
Powerful like the crash of the tide, enlightening like the cloud-breaking sun's rays, it's no disillusion - it's the reality of Joel's tunes ( *thank you* )
I've never heard the original track. Let it remain this way, because the original song will not be able to convey the emotions that Joel conveys in his track
Another masterpiece by my most favorite composer
Morissetward
One of my favorite songs. Amazing cover, Joel! More of these synth covers would be so cool.
Nice! I got almost identical readings at the Morton Arboretum today in Lisle, IL. 1.25 and 1.6 peaks. I'm interested to understand the 1.25. I'm not convinced they are from the 13 vs. 17, as everywhere I traveled in the Arb, it seemed that the 1.6 was nearby and 1.25 was distant. I could be wrong. The 1.25 reminds me of distant expressway traffic you sometimes hear in the mornings especially during temperature inversions. It sounds low pitched from a relatively great distance, but higher pitched when you're next to the expressway.
I love the Morton Arboretum! These are from just off the North Branch Trail. I found the same thing - it was really tough to get close to the 1.25k sound. This was as close as I could get. I'd try to follow the sound and at some point it sort of just felt like I was moving away from it.
Authentic tones to the bones - 17 yrs. in the waiting (cant wait to see how it pans out!)
Hi! Could you please release the full version of your song Constellations either here or on platforms like Apple Music? I really, really like it! (^•^)
I care about it, I’m a stranger on the other end of the planet on a subway using RUclips illegally and English isn’t even my mother tongue, but I look forward to this album. You never know what kind of ripple you are creating in this world.
thanks for making these :D
I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel.
Thank you so much for doing these, Joel. Gorogoa was so beautiful, and of course I'm a huuuuge DS fan, the atmosphere in that game is so specific and of course the sound design plays a HUGE part in that.
Discovering your music it's one of the best moments of my life. Joel, you're genius. Thank you for all what you're doing
I just realised that I wasn't subscribed to your channel, how is it possible!?
Wish your videos would get more attention, they seem really in depth and full of heart.
thank you - that's super nice & meaningful to hear! it's ok with me though. the circle is small but people are already more engaged and positive than i expected! it's super heartwarming
Really excited to hear all of these in their entirety! I still love hotshark :D maybe it belongs on it's own dancefloor oriented EP?
I was one of the lucky few who participated in the first class Joel did, and wow, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Definitely worth your time and money! I learned so much valuable stuff about creating video game music, and Joel is just an insanely talented teacher. 10/10 🙌
Love that you've been posting a lot more on this channel! Looking forward to whatever you put out next :)
Release the reveal trailer BGM for Hyper Light Breaker and I'm buying it. Whats the name of it if you dont mind me asking?
Can you show the Game Over breakdown? That song played over in my head at night after months of playing Eastward. Amazing efforts 👌
Yeah! That's a perfect one for this format because it's short and only a few tracks - I'll do that next
@joelcorelitzmusic Much appreciated my good man!
This was SO cool to watch!!! If there’s any way you could do a track breakdown of Iron Carbine, that would be amazing. It’s my favorite song on the OST and I probably listen to it AT LEAST once a day. Would love to see more of these videos!!!!!
Seeing/hearing how excited Joel gets to speak about his work now and noticing the fan base growing is undoubtedly awesome. That piece about ping filters!!! Magic Meister Joel went over that in a previous lesson. More deep dive videos like this to breakdown soundtracks would be fantastic. Could a deep dive into The Unfinished Swan 🦢 be possible ? Its score struck so many souls
Love how you show the complexity of all the inner workings 💯
Nice breakdown! I hope Greenberg gets one too, im super interested in this one.
👍🏽🔥
This is such an amazing track in the game. I love that combination of music and what feels like a soundscape. Makes me feel like I'm in a mine, and brings me back to the wonderful tracks featured in Donkey Kong Country. Thank you for keeping up on these track deep dives! Question: Do you build your palette per track as needed or do you begin composing for a game with a general palette? Question 2: I'd love a deep dive into "To My Knight". It's an incredibly emotional track that gets me every time I hear it, especially after how it plays out in the story of Eastward. Did the story and characters play into the composition of track?
Thank you so much!! I'll take any comparison to DKC haha. My template is a blank slate with a bunch of blank instruments, 2 reverbs and 2 delays. I usually build as I go but if I know of a sound that'll fit, I'll use it!
@@joelcorelitzmusicAmazing! I added a second question if you don't mind giving that a look haha.
Re "To My Knight" - yes. I can share more in another video but that track is actually Is Isabel's theme, and is connected both in terms of melody and palette to Alva's theme.
@@joelcorelitzmusic Thanks for the insight :)
Your music is awesome, I'm looking forward to the albums dude
Nice to see ACE getting some love. A very underrated\underexposed synth.
Does he only talkm
So excited to hear the album Joel! I love the concept of the album, also I think it’s really cool how you managed to make a compilation of music you already made at different times and contexts and turned that into a cool cohesive concept. It’s inspiring!
I'm here for it, good work! Looking forward to hearing all the rest
Thanks so much for leeting us take part on your work process. Very inspiring and interesting. And although we don't know each other personally, it feels like a good friend is showing me something special that he is proud of and appreciates my opinion. Great job Joel, looking forward to hearing your albums!
Excited to hear all of this-- thanks for the sneak peaks!
A double album treat 🎶 *The Darkside* Potential Album Name: Desolation (potential components of joy/hope?) 20 songs, 1 hr. 9 mins. Comments/Notes: With a name like Desolation, there might be those who resonate with the idea of isolation or desperation. But to others, a state of being alone isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's a welcoming prospect to a "clear-mind". This is one of many ways to look at it, but the album name is great. *The Lightside* Delight (could also have a hint of longing or yearning) 21 songs, 1 hr. 24 mins. Comments/Notes: Now this title is going to be interesting to play with. Perhaps the soundtracks that posses a "heavy-tone" and eventually become "lighter" towards the end (sort of like a sad-to-not-so-sad)? Or rather, songs that have small blips of a rising bit every now and again. HotShark (Oh the throwback - IF this doesn't take someone back to the days of "Bangarang", then they probably won't get it). Drum Machine Classic Dance Tracks: 10 808 -----Nice. The 6:29 sound track isn't bad at all - some may find it a little jolting, given the mix and the frequency potency but that uniqueness/quirkiness is what makes it cool! *Do keep posting these Joel! Seeing the process & progress with your work(s) is awesome. I think the building of these albums is as much you sharing about yourself through your music - like you said, it's autobiographical. And it's going to be a fantastic piece.
Super excited to hear more of this! <3
These are all sounding great!
Thanks Noel! ❤
Seeing another video of this style would be great!! 🎧 *Synth & Chiptune MasterClass with the Musical Magician: Joel Corelitz*
You are not helping get over my craving of a Super 6 desktop 😭 I love your setup by the way. I wish I had this space for music that I cannot immerse myself into, and also leave completely when I want to get back to other human things. I tend to get too drawn to my computer in my one-room apartment 😰
Really excited to hear your works, and it's so good to see you just doing this out of pure passion, love to see it ❤
Great video. Thanks for the inspiration! I tried to reproduce some of the ideas on my Oberheim Matrix-1000 (that has a self-oscillating 24db filter) and it worked! Since the Matrix-1000 has build-in "Filter FM", the sonical result was very close to what you achieved with the ACE. I was also able to reproduce the delay-like effect using LFO1 to modulate the VCA2.
Awesome! I used to Have a Matrix-6 - same architecture. How did you ping it? Did you use a saw or square a few octaves down?
Since there is no way to select the "sound source" of the filter on the M1000, I just switched both DCOs off and disabled the VCF modulation of ENV1. Setting Resonance to max, I can set the initial pitch using the Cutoff and enable "key follow". ENV2 set everything to 0 to get that pluck sine sound. Now the important part to shape the "nature-like" percussive character is using FM set to full and set the DCO1 pitch to taste. For the delay-like effect, it was suitable to modulate VCA2 with LFO1 (using a saw-down waveform) and then using Ramp1 to modify the LFO1 amount over time, so the delay regen can be altered via the ramp speed. I am still learning the M1000 (and synthesis in general) so maybe there are other ways, but the result sounds really nice 🙂.@@joelcorelitzmusic
Hey Joel, Great exp. unlock vid.! *🎹🎶* Question: If Self oscilation occurs just at the frequency cut-off point, does that mean I'll have one note across the keyb. so, I can play the filter like I would any other keyb. (i.e. pinging; to build on) ?"
Great question! If you set the filter to track the keyboard at 100%, the self-oscillation will track across the range of the keyboard.
There's something magical about personal and professional change(s) - and getting to see that lifecycle process happen with a musical-genius like Joel is as good a treat as it gets! *Missed the available class segment with The Pitch last year, but I'm hopeful a second edition will come around so I can join in!*
Love them so much! Will this album be released on apple music late?
Thanks so much! And yes! Planning on releasing on every streaming service.
@@joelcorelitzmusic this is cool dude! one of the best video game composers ever! I was wondering if the some tracks are having lyrics/vocals and other tracks being just instrumental? also if you were gonna be a composer for a future movie which one would you score? Jurassic City (jurassic world 7 - 2025) Minecraft (2025)
@@kadekitchen-glodgett3274 thank you!! and i'd say probably about a quarter of the tracks have vocals. and minecraft for sure!!
Nice!
I’m buying it
