gathering an entire metal choir and integrating some of the game chants into some of the actual music was just freaking genius...I dont know how he does it, he's just mind blowing
Rightly so. Video games are the pinnacle art form. No other medium can incorporate so many facets of art. In a videogame, you can visit an art gallery and admire paintings and sculptures, listen to breathtaking music, and they now have top tier cinematic cutscenes and character driven stories. Also the potential to allow the player to drive the art in a direction they desire.
I don't really give a sh*t whether or not it's recognized by a room of stuffy old pretentious people as "proper art." It's kind of been plainly obvious to anyone who's played these things that very skilled artists at work making all the modeling, skyboxes, textures, level design, etc. Even gameplay itself done well enough can be a kind of art form. If it's "officially recognized" all that means is that the medium is old enough that the kids who grew up with it and love it now outnumber those from the older generations that didn't. Same thing happened with the "idiot box" (tv) and film over time.
Big thanks to everyone involved. It took a lot of people and a lot of time to make this happen. It was a genuine pleasure to get to speak with Mick. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

@@owlgoddess8534 I agree, the mixing in DOOM(2016) is legitimately awful, which is a real shame considering how awesome both the sound design and music in that game is. Here's hoping DOOM Eternal is a lot more smooth in terms of mixing. I'm positive it will be, but I suppose there's always that chance that they fumble it again.
Mick Gordon is one of the greatest composers nowadays , he is fan of the good old rock and roll from the 60's , a great guitar player , he writes his music by his own ,and definitely knows music theory and complex structures.
Hey Camel, you did a good job on this interview, you made the guest feel comfortable and indulged him when he digressed. Very interesting video, especially because I love game sound design and Doom is still my staple game to sell headsets and headphones in my shop! I wish i could work on producing or arranging music for games someday.
Considering the amount of time he spent working on it, as he said in the video, I imagine he is probably more pissed off about this whole situation than any of us. It truly is very disappointing..
LordFifth ISSTH And he has every right to be. From what I’m hearing, it sounds like we might get his versions after all, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t come back for a third game.
"But now... Everything's amazing and nobody's impressed." . This is exactly what i feel for current generation now, holy moly i love his philosophical stuffs.
Hearing this man talk about music is a delight. It's so fun, so engaging, so exciting, inspiring. It feels like I'm being given an honest sight into that grand sistine chapel that is his view at music as a whole concept. Such a fucking experience.
Mick is a great guy! I emailed him right after DOOM 2016 came out and just told him how much I loved his work. He actually took the time to send me a lengthy email back! Such a nice guy, and so talented too. Glad they got him back for Eternal!
11:59 next MK game filled with Mick's music? That's like the dreams come true. I've tagged @Netherrealm, @MortalKombat and @noobde twitters already. Let's go! I'm rooting for you Mick!
Hands down my favourite composer of ANYTHING - right there with Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Trent Reznor and Ludwig Gorannson as someone who can elevate something to truly epic, amazing proportions with just music. This guy is God tier in my opinion.
Great job with the interview, guys. It's always a pure pleasure to hear Mick speak. You can feel the energy and passion that he has in his approach of making music.
It might have been an issue for him in the past unfortunately. I've spent a lot if time around people with drug and alcohol problems and they all tend to be very similar to Mick. Extremely passionate, intelligent and empathetic. There's also a certain quality they have about them that Mick seems to have here which is a bit of jitteriness as well as they tend to be relatively underweight. Could be completely wrong about Mick and I hope so but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised.
17:41 I guess that is our answer as to why mick golden stayed with doom eternal so long despite the conditions. What a great guy, going through with it despite the way he was being treated.
honestly, I used to hate the DOOM 2016 OST. I despised it and hated on it in every comments section then, something magical happened. I played DOOM 2016. And I heard the music. And I just went ham on those demons. Now, I love the soundtrack to bits and listen to it quite often. It fits the game so well, I dropped this barrier I had
I think that's what is so powerful about that soundtrack... That it meshes so perfectly with the game that it feels like meaningless noise when separated, but it feels like pure raw power pumped into your veins when the game is running, and afterwards you cannot see it as anything but that....
@@dylanj950 i don't even listen to metal music. I just really like dooms soundtrack, and im talking about how metal music is usually portrayed as bad or satanic, when it's usually just really hardcore rock music. I also hate metal with vocals.
This is AWESOME, Camel! Great questions and such a genuine interview. Doom2016’s score totally blew me away and keeps me coming back to it. I loved the talk Mick gave about how he developed the methods of creation for that score and how he sorta snuck the guitar into it and helped the audio team realize that it was actually a good fit.
Organisation behind chaos. Calm behind violence. Taking the time to create some immediate emotions. I think Mick is one of our best artists in these days, an incredible artists. Thanks you so much to bring us the DOOM’s game soundtracks. I NEED to hear your own musical project, I deeply want it before leaving. 👌
15:15 Mick says that he is not meant to be working on the Doom Ethernal soundtrack. This is 5 months ago, and yet the soundtrack is not finished and/or released. And now all the news goes out that Bathesda did not allow him to mix the soundrack. This means that even 5 months ago Mick was pulled from working on the music. This will be a shitstorm of EPIC proportions for Bathesda ... so many people (me included) loved Doom 2016 and Eternal for the Music (2016 music had a much deeper impact for me) Wonder if this mess has something to do with it.
Mick just needs to do all the music forever. Man is a full fuckin unit. The comment about communicating a feeling and direction for a specific track hit hard. Any musician commissioned to write something for a person they barely know feels the pain of crap communication. "Ok so what do you want?". " Man you know when songs are like big but there's small stuff and then they do like a bwah?" "......"
Man, this is a crazy wonderful interview. Just so insightful and comprehensive and holy shit man this was insanely great. I want to shove this at everyone I know. How this hasn't just blown the heck up I have no idea. What a damn nice guy. I really respected sound and music designers to begin with but you never really get to see them 'in the wild'. It's usually the game devs who get the glory (deserved of course!) but the sound and music design really takes a good game and makes it something iconic. In my view anyway. Top tier work on this Camel, something different from you and still something great!
New subscriber after watching this interview. You handled it perfectly. Kept your questions relatively concise and let the interviewee do the talking when they had things to say. It's so frustrating how many people these days get the opportunity to speak with someone unique and talented then just go talking about themselves over the focus every moment that they get a chance to relate. Keep up this quality work! /thumbsup.jpg
I can't help it, but when i look to the right from Mick, on that picture i see a Batman siluette, and funni thing comes to my mind - imagine mister Gordon doing a soundtrack for a new Arkham game.
I don't want to be rude or anything but you ask Mick Gordon a very personal question, he is super kind and honest and tries to give you an answer and you don't even let him finish speaking?! Don't fucking interrupt people when you ask them personal questions. Simple as that.
The first 2 seasons of KI were done by him and honestly a thousand times better than season 3’s soundtrack by Atlas plug and Celldweller. Those two can’t even compare to Mick’s talent. I’ve listened to a few songs from games and some songs I can get down to but the entire soundtrack for Doom is head-banging material.
This was a great interview, but I just have one small suggestion that would make the listening experience way better for future videos. I actually had to stop listening on earbuds while at the gym and pick this back up when I got home to listen on proper speakers because the sibilance in your voice was actually starting to become painful to my ears. Applying a de-esser on the audio next time would help greatly. That’s all. Despite that one production critique, I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more content from you. Cheers.
I'm currently thinking that a Mick Gordon - The Doom concert would be the best thing ever, that concert wouldn't even have to be eternal to fill my life with joy...as long as it's not to short.

Mick Gordon is honest to god a one of a kind. I love his obsessive philosophy with music.

It’s great to see gaming being recognised as an art medium
Psafian it absolutely should be. The amount of time, work, and effort these studios put into them is insane
Recognized by the very people disgracing it a few years back? Who cares. It was just a matter of time until they died and it got recognized anyway...

The first 2 seasons of KI were done by him and honestly a thousand times better than season 3’s soundtrack by Atlas plug and Celldweller. Those two can’t even compare to Mick’s talent. I’ve listened to a few songs from games and some songs I can get down to but the entire soundtrack for Doom is head-banging material.
Honestly, it's so cool that he and Fredrik Thordendal are good friends!
This was a great interview, but I just have one small suggestion that would make the listening experience way better for future videos. I actually had to stop listening on earbuds while at the gym and pick this back up when I got home to listen on proper speakers because the sibilance in your voice was actually starting to become painful to my ears. Applying a de-esser on the audio next time would help greatly. That’s all. Despite that one production critique, I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more content from you. Cheers.
Thank you for doing this interview and thanks to Mick for sparing the time to do it. Can't wait to hear what he has in store for us in Eternal.
Rip and tear slowly starts playing in the background.....
.....
Such a brilliant and passionate man... no wonder his work is equally masterful (and FUCKING metal)
This is probably one if the most underrates under appreaciated australians.
Probably the most handsome and
very *down-to-earth* demon to ever
walk the planet.
Omg he got the metal choir to work?!?!?
😂😂 i can't wait to hear how this masterpiece is going to sound!!
The song is called Gladiator. :) Also Kar En Tuk has it I think.
I didn’t really know what I thought camel would look like, but I have to say, I am not disappointed
I'm currently thinking that a Mick Gordon - The Doom concert would be the best thing ever, that concert wouldn't even have to be eternal to fill my life with joy...as long as it's not to short.
Mick Gordon is full of Argent Energy
I think the Doom 2016 soundtrack alone cements Mick Gordon with the ranks of Yoko Shimomura, Nobuo Uematsu and Jesper Kyd.
Skyrim is indeed the meaning of life
Eh, Skyrim is boring. Dark Souls is better.
@@GreatBeardofWisdom correct opinion
Josh Crowe incorrect opinion
@@CKelloggs Well, luckily for me, I don't need your approval, so I'll continue to have that opinion regardless.
@@GreatBeardofWisdom alright mate calm down jesus

Did you grow a fucking Metal beard for this interview hahahahah, looks amazing mate !
Excellent interview! Your content is always so engaging.
I had no idea Mick Gorden was made in Australia
