2:30 sounds like the theme to a "important to the plot" dialogue scene set in a ancient temple or ancient sanctuary 6:07 definetly is the theme to a random town in a RPG and 9:07 definetly kind of reminds me of the legend of zelda but also definetly sounds like the theme to a random spanish knight on horseback
Johnny Paste Eater goes hard, but you can't beat the sheer goofiness of Sunshine Fun in the Sun 7: The Nostalgia of Plorbo. I want to play whatever game would have that in it's soundtrack.
No lie, a good 90% of your library should've been in a JRPG by now. I feel I go on a little adventure in my head listening to these. Thank You for reminding me how fun the music making process can be. Cheers~
Thank you so much for the kind comment! My #1 music dream is to write a soundtrack for a JRPG, so it really means a lot to hear that. I hope you go on to have loads of fun with your future music endeavors!
@Shadycicada A bit out of nowhere, but have you considered working with other artists? Micheal Ghelfi and his Studio recently partnered with Paizo, a tabletop rpg publisher. Maybe TTRPGs are a niche close enough to JRPGs? Most of the letters are the same after all :^)
@@chron874 Late reply, but I'd love to work with other artists on games and other projects (I've already done so in the past actually)! I appreciate the heads up :)
Johnny Paste Eater is like a strange amalgamation of western outlaw music, Renaissance medieval music, and jungle/safari music that somehow actually just works.
unironically Sunshine Fun in the Sun 7: The Nostalgia of Plorbo was my fav i gotta hear what else you can do with the theramin and hang cause it scratches my brain SO good. Also the lil drop at 6:30 *chefs kiss*
Thank you for using the full name 😂 With the exception of the theremin lead, it's kinda growing on me too! I might consider repurposing it for something else one day
First - music that plays when you dont go through the portal to the final area after the climatic cutscene Second - nostalgic flashbacks to all the adventures you had with your friends along the journey before a great sacrifice Third - stranger in a strange land, saved by the mentor figure moments before death, displaying their expertise
Johnny Paste Eater gave Hidden Village from Twilight Princess vibes. Takes me back to the old metal fairy fountain video on the Schecter Damien, Ive been looking at the new multiscale version of that guitar.
For gods sake, how does this all end up so good? You're not playing fair, Shady! The first one had some real nice 'exploring a dark forest'-JRPG vibes, and with percussion perhaps that would be just a full-fledged great BGM. The second one... had the theromin, and you can't write theromin without terror.... yes, you can, but you get the point. But without that, I gave some nice beach vibes, like Super Mario Sunshine. I expected a lot less with that asortment of instruments. And the last one felt like Dragonroost Island from Zelda. I think the bell messed stuff up a bit and might either need more space for some more godly feel, or just yeet that stupid bell completely and focus a bit more on the Ocarina for a more Zelda-ry feel, including copyright strikes by Nintendo. But I really had fun listening, just amazing songs, and really enjoyable hearing from you. Gosh, I wish I could join you on the twitches more often!
The return of instrument randomizer! I love how you can so constantly turn a hot mess of an instrument combination into a banger song, every single time. I'd say that these are some of my favourite challenges you do, but I'd be lying because I love all of them, hah
The first one is one I’d put on a playlist, so please finalize it because it sounds super cool. Also Johnny the paste eater sounds like a menace. Keep up the great work
@Shadycicada Bells can refer to multiple types of bells. There's normal bells, cowbells, agogos, even garrapatta bells which I don't really know about.
Might be too late but I absolutely loved the third one. There's just this perfect mix of tension and calm between the instruments that just love to hear
Thanks so much! The answer is lots of practice and lots of experimenting! Get a feel for a bunch of instruments and genres and they all start feeling like building blocks (:
I've been wanting another of these videos, and man this one was fun to watch. All three were absolute bangers, even the second one somehow lmao. Big fan of Jerry/Johnny Paste Eater. 0:14 👀
1st song: i have one word and i mean it as a compliment "objection" 2nd song: stardidyourmotherlastnight valley 3rd song: yarggghh, this town be too little fer the both of us matey conclusion: please help my house is burned down
hmmm: "squeelborb, welcome. To the ancient temple of glorb. here is where our ancestors started their quest... and here is where you shall continue to carry the torch" the nostalgia of plorbo: "cmon squeelborb! you'll never make it to the temple on time to hear the elders stories if you stay slow like that haha hurryyy!!!!" (flashbacks) johnny paste eater: "you really think you can beat me squeelborb? i took over this town LEGALLY! there aint nuthin you can do against me partner nothing at all!!!.... wait...... is that? NO PROOF OF FORGED DOCUMENTS AAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!"
Hmmmm's "lute" / bass / synth combo felt really good! I'd love to see you play around with the vibe in more songs. It gave me a really good dungeon-exploration type of feeling. Also, I actually really like the low theremin. it's like a spoopy bass.
Late to the party here but I got to say that number 2 was the favourite for me. Number 1 was probably the most polished and 3 was super catchy but I can ACTUALLY see the second song in like a beach level or tropical level of a game...like you could practically submit that already; it has a quirky Kirby-esque charm to it. Also that Hang drum is WAAAAAY better than bongos for percussion. Thanks for this little slice of awesome. :)
another shady cicada banger featuring such quotes as: "you've been visited by the ethereal centipede", "that synth has more leaks than that arbys bathroom", "this bass is more sustainable than a millennials income", "green like the sand", and "I'll eat that glue in 5 seconds"
that johnny eats glue one was a banger. would really love a full on version where its not so restricted. i can only imagine what you could make with that.
Theremin is the son of Wood Wood. He's the sequel. It's like Wood Wood gets his own anime reboot and then the sequel Theremin finally gets adapted for the first time.
Consider an alteration of this challenge: Randomize the instruments, compose the song, then, randomize again and replace the instruments you just composed with and see what it sounds like.
I saw a game that literally combined taiko drums in a peaceful song, that also has a sick acoustic drum solo in it, and alphorns, and somehow it works perfectly.
I actually really loved all 3 of these songs. The first one felt like something youd hear in the a typical rpg while the main cast explores the secret pathways under the castle after learning some major plot twist. Second one sounded like something straight out of terraria. Third one sounded like your typical gerudo valley-esque area but if nier music (the bell specifically) met ocarina of time. If i had to pick one id like to see finished, it would probably be the first one, but the third one is a close second place
song 1 made me feel like an explorer uncovering the truth of an ancient ruin song 2 made me clap and got judging looks from my brother at first song 3 made me feel like i was an elf dancing in the forest but then i saw it was high noon
heyo shady! just wanted to pop in and say that you were the person to inspire me to start making music in 6th grade--i'm in 9th now and it's been a massive hobby for like, over 3 years. thanks for everything
This town ain't stick enough for the glue of us. (If you have some fun challenge ideas, hit me with 'em!)
I have an idea! Get three random video game songs from chat and turn their motifs into an original song.
Maybe try making a song with MSM Composer?
Make a song but you can't use any real instruments, only real noises
Make a song using only precussion
love the tunes paste guy cicada
sorry I just couldn't help it after the end 😆
You should definitely finalize “Johnny Paste Eater” it was definitely my favourite!
Glad you liked it! I actually had some fun ideas for it shortly after finishing, so I'd love to make it into a whole thing!
Agreed
I second this
I wholeheartedly agree, wwe need the full version!
I third this
The real Squeelborb was the friends we made along the way
Friendship TRULY is the defining final power
Johnny Paste Eater, to my ears, sounds like it could theoretically exist within a modern Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game and I love it
I love the music from the PMD series! So that means a lot to hear (: Thank you!
REALLLLL
2:30 sounds like the theme to a "important to the plot" dialogue scene set in a ancient temple or ancient sanctuary
6:07 definetly is the theme to a random town in a RPG
and 9:07 definetly kind of reminds me of the legend of zelda but also definetly sounds like the theme to a random spanish knight on horseback
Took the words right out of my mouth
9:07 reminds me of some Pokémon Mystery Dungeon songs.
2:30 is definitely a Phoenix Wright track
2:30 soumds more like the calm DKC level themes
Johnny Paste Eater goes hard, but you can't beat the sheer goofiness of Sunshine Fun in the Sun 7: The Nostalgia of Plorbo. I want to play whatever game would have that in it's soundtrack.

Micheal Ghelfi and his Studio recently partnered with Paizo, a tabletop rpg publisher.

@@chron874 Late reply, but I'd love to work with other artists on games and other projects (I've already done so in the past actually)! I appreciate the heads up :)
1:43, i have spent hours recreating this song in a lot of music making softwares, i knew it from the looks lol
It's the musician equivalent of noticing the Rick Roll URL at this point LOL
Johnny Paste Eater is like a strange amalgamation of western outlaw music, Renaissance medieval music, and jungle/safari music that somehow actually just works.
True. I could see this either working in Zelda or Monkey Island. The vibes are immaculate.
unironically Sunshine Fun in the Sun 7: The Nostalgia of Plorbo was my fav i gotta hear what else you can do with the theramin and hang cause it scratches my brain SO good.
Also the lil drop at 6:30 *chefs kiss*
Not a good idea to watch this while eating, almost choked on my food laughing. Too funny, 10/10.
I'm glad to hear you had a good time with it! (Stay safe too lmao!)
We need to see Johnny the Paste Eater's full theme ASAP. But I still think the first two are some very interesting pieces to expand upon
Instrument randomizer is BACK !!!!!
not gonna lie, sunshine fun in the sun 7 the nostalgia of plorbo is actually really good
Thank you for using the full name 😂 With the exception of the theremin lead, it's kinda growing on me too! I might consider repurposing it for something else one day
The theremin lead is kinda unironically my favorite part though.
It's like a scuffed version of a Mario Kart beach level.
@@LuckySketchesSAME it’s so funky and I love funky stuff in music 💕
It’s just every goat simulator ost ever.
6:31 why does that kinda go hard lmao
Now we need a professional bongo shady song. You gotta make it happen. You can do it.
Nevermind. The intro foreshadied the end.
Next up will be a song with only bongos! (I kid though. That'd be awful LOL)
A song made from pure percussion instruments or with a strong focus on them would fun to see👀
@@Shadycicada Kinda wanna see a full percussion song now. xD Don't though. That sounds like it'd be torture to attempt.
I think you should finalize Sunshine Fun In The Sun 7 - The Nostalgia of Plorbo.
Would love to see Johnny Paste Eater have his glue-munching escapades extended to full length
It seems the Patron of Paste is the popular one here (and I'm glad, cause that one was my fave too), so I'll definitely do more with that one!
The first and third one were genuinely amazing! I'd love a Full version of both that I could play on my Spotify whenever!
First - music that plays when you dont go through the portal to the final area after the climatic cutscene
Second - nostalgic flashbacks to all the adventures you had with your friends along the journey before a great sacrifice
Third - stranger in a strange land, saved by the mentor figure moments before death, displaying their expertise
Fun in the Sun 7: The Nostalgia of Plorbo was really calming to me for some reason ngl

At long last. You first instrument randomizer video was the first video of yours I watched. This will be a nice trip down memory lane
I hope you enjoy it! This was just as fun to make as the old ones 😄
@@Shadycicada it shows brotha this is amazing
These videos bring me immense amounts of joy
The first music is so relaxing but chaotic at the same time lol
3:12 c418 lookin ahhh

YES! The return of my favorite series!
7:28 E note on DX7 "Tubular Bell" sound
Might be too late but I absolutely loved the third one. There's just this perfect mix of tension and calm between the instruments that just love to hear
Dang these are some sweet tracks! How do you compose bangers so quickly dude?
Thanks so much! The answer is lots of practice and lots of experimenting! Get a feel for a bunch of instruments and genres and they all start feeling like building blocks (:
First off, your channel is underrated. The second song belongs in Goat Simulator. Not even joking. Well done.
I've been wanting another of these videos, and man this one was fun to watch. All three were absolute bangers, even the second one somehow lmao. Big fan of Jerry/Johnny Paste Eater.
0:14 👀
I'm so glad to hear you liked it, bud! Johnny Paste Easter can definitely use the full song treatment! Also 👀
The Nostalgia of Plorbo had absolutely no right to be such a fucking banger. My god.
first song: oh this sounds like minecraft it's so cool!
second song: wanna take a trip?
1st song: i have one word and i mean it as a compliment
"objection"
2nd song: stardidyourmotherlastnight valley
3rd song: yarggghh, this town be too little fer the both of us matey
conclusion: please help my house is burned down
hmmm: "squeelborb, welcome. To the ancient temple of glorb. here is where our ancestors started their quest... and here is where you shall continue to carry the torch"
the nostalgia of plorbo: "cmon squeelborb! you'll never make it to the temple on time to hear the elders stories if you stay slow like that haha hurryyy!!!!" (flashbacks)
johnny paste eater: "you really think you can beat me squeelborb? i took over this town LEGALLY! there aint nuthin you can do against me partner nothing at all!!!.... wait...... is that? NO PROOF OF FORGED DOCUMENTS AAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!"
2:30 Song 1 really gives 'courtroom song before the first witness is called' vibes for me, ngl
Jerry the Paste eater absolutely SLAPS and a full song would be phenomenal ❤️
Dude I discovered your stuff on Spotify, had no clue you had a youtube. Definitely gonna check out more of your stuff, this is pretty funny.
Glad you enjoyed it, dude! I hope you have a good time with the rest of the content. And welcome in! :)
This feels like something I'd hear in minecraft while chilling in a Taiga or something, and that's awesome.
Hmmmm's "lute" / bass / synth combo felt really good! I'd love to see you play around with the vibe in more songs. It gave me a really good dungeon-exploration type of feeling.
Also, I actually really like the low theremin. it's like a spoopy bass.
Scarily enough, all of these songs could be used in a JRPG.
Song 3 no diffs. Song 1 maybe comes close, but song 3 is a damn BOP. Definitely make a full version of song 3, it would be a banger!
That first song sounded like a cyberpunk mediaeval kingdom :0 i love it!
Late to the party here but I got to say that number 2 was the favourite for me. Number 1 was probably the most polished and 3 was super catchy but I can ACTUALLY see the second song in like a beach level or tropical level of a game...like you could practically submit that already; it has a quirky Kirby-esque charm to it. Also that Hang drum is WAAAAAY better than bongos for percussion. Thanks for this little slice of awesome. :)
Song 1: Forgotten Ruins: Infiltration Time!
Song 2: Haunted Beach Party
Song 3: Badlands Last Outpost
2:30 Rejected Minecraft disc
6:07 Exploring a vast sunny expanse
9:05 Jerry the Paste-eater
Song 3 hit DIFFERENT. Great video.
Shady you're too humble. All these song restrictions just give you more creative potential and you turn them into complete bangers every time.
the fact that "hmmm" sounds so damn nostalgic both annoys and amazes me at the same time
The fact we get more shady little lad drawings in this video makes me very happy
another shady cicada banger featuring such quotes as: "you've been visited by the ethereal centipede", "that synth has more leaks than that arbys bathroom", "this bass is more sustainable than a millennials income", "green like the sand", and "I'll eat that glue in 5 seconds"
that johnny eats glue one was a banger. would really love a full on version where its not so restricted. i can only imagine what you could make with that.
Theremin is the son of Wood Wood. He's the sequel. It's like Wood Wood gets his own anime reboot and then the sequel Theremin finally gets adapted for the first time.
When plorbo sang "ooowWWWoooOOOOOOO" it was pretty epic.
kidding aside, very fun challenge
Johnny paste eater goes hard. I loved the bell on it, actually so good, even as a small part of the song
I have never heard such great tracks made with such limited amounts of instruments to use. I love it completely.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tracks! Thank you so much :)
Johnny paste eater sounds like a Zelda song, I love it.
That first one was *Chef's kiss* 🎧😌
Finalize the last one!!! Omg I loved it so much, kind of felt a little medieval.
One must get pasty with it.
Sunshine in the fun 7 the nostalgia of plorbo is incredibly underrated
Consider an alteration of this challenge:
Randomize the instruments, compose the song,
then, randomize again and replace the instruments you just composed with and see what it sounds like.
I can't believe you made a song dedicated to Squeelborb, my favorite JRPG villain of all time. Finally my boy gets the recognition he deserves.
They just kept getting better
1st one: minecraft
2nd one: idk but some sort of beach scene (first thing that comes to mind is super mario sunshine)
3rd one: epic battle scene
Shady has a real talent for giving every song such atmosphere, I think the nostalgia of plorbo is the one I'd want to see developed the most!
Been watching you since a long time and this is deff my favourite series we need more of this. Like a weekly basis 😂
I definitely have more planned! I forgot how fun these were to do 😄
Ain’t gonna lie, all these songs actually are kind of a banger
I saw a game that literally combined taiko drums in a peaceful song, that also has a sick acoustic drum solo in it, and alphorns, and somehow it works perfectly.
The second I heard the bell sample: "THAT'S POKEMON! I KNOW THAT ONE! IT'S POKEMON!"
jerry the paste eater so real 💀
This is cool new age music. Takes me back to the early 90s.
How are they all so good
Ohhhh how I love Johnny paste eater!! Definitely the best contender to be finalized!!
All of them sound really cool in their quirky little way :D
Johnny Paste Eater needs a full version, no debate
I definitely plan on doing it!
cursed admission; the first songs sounds so homestuck
came for the music, stayed for the squeelborb
That was amazing! You should for sure continue this series!
Sounds epic, this needs to be in a game
“Johnny Paste Eater” is literally just a Legend of Zelda type beat with a 1901’s Country style to it
Johnny Paste Eater really is the divider of everything
I love these, good to see the challenge come around again.
Song 2 has strong Goat simulator vibe in the middle XP
That's an amazing comparison 😂 I am honestly honored
I actually really loved all 3 of these songs. The first one felt like something youd hear in the a typical rpg while the main cast explores the secret pathways under the castle after learning some major plot twist. Second one sounded like something straight out of terraria. Third one sounded like your typical gerudo valley-esque area but if nier music (the bell specifically) met ocarina of time. If i had to pick one id like to see finished, it would probably be the first one, but the third one is a close second place
The three are just so good, I don’t think I can choose only one to finalise.
Tu my favourite is the second one. I really like the vibe it gives.
if theres anything that can lift my day its an ethereal centipede upload
That first song sounds like it came straight out of an animusic album its so good!
i like it, it sounds like it could be used for a dance game. the second one, i like it a lot.
song 1 made me feel like an explorer uncovering the truth of an ancient ruin
song 2 made me clap and got judging looks from my brother
at first song 3 made me feel like i was an elf dancing in the forest but then i saw it was high noon
This was really cool! I'd love to see more of this. Also, Johnny Paste Eater was a literal banger and I would love to put it on my playlist.
The Paste Eater theme is a banger, definitely would pick that one
heyo shady! just wanted to pop in and say that you were the person to inspire me to start making music in 6th grade--i'm in 9th now and it's been a massive hobby for like, over 3 years. thanks for everything
