A friend pointed out to me how Purple’s violin “voice” fades in and out during the emotional abstract scene, often drowned behind other instruments. He’s most audible when he’s closest to meeting his dad’s expectations. Beautiful storytelling through the score.
3:33 the way these notes play and when Green stares at Purple made me kinda tear up. Knowing that Green was always there for purple, but purple didn't care. They were too focused on their goal...
Those three little woodwind notes at 3:33, the part where Green is running past Purple and turns back towards him for a moment... what a beautiful, beautiful touch. That was heart-wrenching.
In a story told without words, the burden of storytelling falls heavier on the score and visuals. I think it’s safe to say this score handles the burden with ease, Scott. Thanks again for an absolutely beautiful score.
Dont get me wrong, the music scores in Alan's vids are PHENOMONAL, but I usually I don't go back looking for them. I like to watch them with the video itself, because it all fits together so well. Until this one. I cannot express how much I love that my best description I could come up with for each segment is literally the emotion it was trying to portray. And all of them hit me in the heart. The whole thing is kind of sad, weirdly haunting, like something huge was lost along the line. Like the kind of songs movies use when there are huge, beautiful, ancient ruins that characters are walking through. It fit the video so well, but is also such a genuinely beautiful piece that can fully stand alone, and I love that.
Well, after episode 30, they went back to their normal lives, with some weapon and a tribute to technoblade with the crown... But their lives will soon change... A New Beginning will Come...
The combined music when purple is betrayed and then falls down a spiral of his mother's flowers is amazingly done. The build-up just works. It's Purple's breaking point. He's spiraling down back to where he was again. And then he reaches for a petal and it goes away just perfectly capsules how Purple has been completely shattered. He was berayed by his dad and the King, then he betrayed his potential friends and the memory of his mother.
I've never heard anything quite like this before, and I'm completely speechless. The music does such a phenomenal job of conveying the exact emotions of the scene throughout all its narrative shifts, Absolutely blown away!
Most people just hear notes, some can't even tell the difference between right and wrong notes. And some people understand this beautiful & universal language. This one doesn't need the video to understand what happens. Absolute masterpiece.
Only recently did I understand just how artistic a touch it was to use strings... Purple's life has been a series of him trying to pull people's strings while his own are being pulled.
Wow. At the beginning, it really does feel like Green just keeps pestering Purple. I also love how messy Purple’s violin sounds at the start, but then later on it starts sounding good. I’m guessing that was intentional, I love it
The little bits of violin in the beginning just, get me. Like, they take my soul and crumple it into bits only to mend it back together with Purple’s story-filled song.
4:28 to 4:41 is such a beautiful part. If Purple sacrifices himself next episode somehow I would love to see this come back but more orchestral. Well done.
@@frytoes None of the sticks other than TDL (bad guy of ava5) have died permanently, and alan JUST redeemed purple, so I don't think he'll die personally.
@@frytoes I hope King will not try to trick purple by talking about his dad, if he helps and saves him he would let him find his dad. and with those words purple turning on the crew and working for King again.
Scott just made the words "emotional roller coaster" into a song. The fact you can capture a tense, sad, and hopeful feel by the end is just so amazingly well done. It fits really well with the animation but I'm really shocked I can still feel the emotion of the scene even without the visuals. Excellent work as always, this just makes me more hyped for the next episode 👍
5:09 ending on the unresolved chord is how purple feels like he cant get the closure of finding his dad and having that guilt, before green makes purple feel better by resolving that chord for them and telling them that green doesn't want to put purple in the category of "good" or "bad"
I haven't seen many people really talk about the beginning here but I want to try and do it justice. The note blocks truly portray the tone of the respective scene beautifully, it fits with the despair and guilt plaguing purple and the confusion green has at that moment. Fantastic job Scott
i love how you chose the violin for purple and when green's clarinet comes back at 3:34 your work is amazing and yours and aaron grooves music made the episode so awesome!
As per usual, Scott, your music turns everything it touches into gold. I love the way you've conveyed the almost intense emotions that Purple was feeling during their flashback scene. Hats off to you as always 👑
This whole score is gorgeous, but "Green Pursues Purple" took my breath away when I first heard it, and listening to it again now, I'm still awestruck at the range of emotions you are able to convey through music alone. Incredible job!
The entire soundtrack for episode 29 has been strangling me since I've first watched the episode. I can't get over all of the songs at all. Especially Purple's backstory melody? Had me tearing up by the end of it oh my lord, I never thought I'd be so emotional about stick figures until now. Freaking love this, thanks for making such an emotional heartfelt track for this story.
This music made this whole episode my absolute favorite. So much emotions told. The search for answers, new meanings and reconciling what you really are with what you want to be. An absolute geme. I cannot express my gratitude to have heard and witnessed what became of Alan Becker after so many years. Thank you Scott Bucley for taking it to another level
To paraphrase George Lucas, everyone has talent. It’s just a matter of moving around until you’ve discovered what it is. These scores just keep getting better with every new episode
i have never been familiar with your work before this, but i am absolutely speechless. the emotions that you're able to convey... truly magnificent. not very often do i hear something that is soo deep on so many levels. thank you thank you thank you.
I remember being annoyed in literature classes seeing the teacher overanalyze every little detail and interpreting it as if it contributed to the final point, works such as these make me understand the sentiment behind such appreciation
Love the part at 3:52 where you can hear "purples tune" as those 3 main notes. Another thing I noticed is that the term for those notes in music is called a "broken chord" which hits deep knowing that purple is a broken character. Also, in case anyone wants the notes for that. I'm PRETTY sure its c, c#, g#
I just came from the episode, the music did such a good job in helping to tell the story and convey the emotions we're meant to be feeling, keep up the amazing work!
I love and appreciate good visuals and music, but both your music, Aarons music and Alans' teams animation are beyond praise by themselves, and don't even get me started on when combined. It blows my mind everytime I listen to the score, every heartfelt emotion, every string instrument, every bellow of brass. I will forever enjoy the work you, Aaron and Alan all do, because it's beyond perfect.
Me encanta como utilizas el sonido del violín para denotar y hacer énfasis en el Verdadero Dolor de este personaje además del sufrimiento que se le clava en lo más profundo del alma desde que cuenta su historia y ese viaje emocional casi termino rompiendo en llanto. Una hermosa obra de arte 😭😭😢
Aaron Grooves did perfect in the first half. The first half of the music perfectly describes the music world Green went into and it fits. The second half is also perfect. The second half music describes the situation and the reason of Purple’s actions to make up for no words. As the saying actions speak louder than words is very true for what Purple did. The music score does deserve a rating of 20/10 for Aaron Grooves part and your part.
This music changed my life, there is no doubt about it. “An Emotional Journey” is and will forever be my favourite song of all time. I can’t wait to see what masterpiece you’ve got for episode 30, I’m sure it’ll be beautiful!
Whenever I watch these shorts, it feels like I'm watching a movie. Your music plays a big part in making that feeling a reality. I really hope you compose a movie someday.
It might be even more than that. The part with the flower petals (both as they blow away from the grave and while Purple is falling) makes me think that Purple might blame himself for his family falling apart. It might symbolize him thinking that if he had been able to reach his father's expectations, he might not have left, his mother's health might not have deteriorated like it did, and she might still be alive. He was still young when his father left, so he might think the whole thing is his fault.
@@Gabriel-oq8gs I personally think the flower petals symbolize Purple having no family by his side. They were on his mother's grave, because he was alone once she died (since the father left them), and they do flutter around him when he falls, after King grabs the master block from him - it shows that King had doublecrossed him, even though Purple saw him as a father figure, so Purple once again lost someone he considered like family; not through death or abandonment, but through betrayal. And when he started crying as his father walked away from him, he was once again surrounded by the petals, just driving it home further that he was all by himself, with no family. Then, in the 30th episode, "The King", we get that scene where King is in his house and regrets his actions, and he pounds on the wall and then breaks through it. He then sees Purple again, sitting in that spotlight with the flower petals all around him - the same scene where he was crying in the 29th episode as his father walked away. Then, when King ran up to him and hugged him, the flower petals all blew away, meaning that Purple wouldn't be alone anymore, that he would now have the father figure he so desired. Honestly, it's really just beautiful, the way they come together. King lost his son and wanted him back, and Purple lost his father and longed for a father figure. They were both broken people, but they filled the holes in each other's lives. It works so well.
@@Terrifyger i always thought the petals symbolize how they react to failure/grief. In one scene in the king, Mango has broken glass around him, and purple has petals. The petals could symbolize that purple definitely tries to fix failure, but never goes over his limits, giving up when he is forced to (or just ditches when it happens). The broken glass means mango does not give a flying f about his limits or other precautions, he just wants to “fix” hat happened.
Thanks for bringing this to us. You and Aaron made this episode amazingly deep and epic. For anyone reading this, please check the rest of Scott's work, he usually makes great content like this daily.
The amount of emotion I feel listening to this music along with the stunning animation for the story is so powerful. Episode 29, especially this part, is my absolute favourite and makes me love these videos and everyone who works on them even more. They’re about stick figures! But I still find myself, crying, feeling amazed, excited, surprised, constantly thinking about the content and what will happen in future episodes. These make me so happy and I will never stop enjoying and appreciating the work that’s put into everything❤️❤️
You're every bit as important to the making of this series as Alan is. The soundtrack is absolutely *amazing*. Also thank you for only including the second part
@@Jake28 I'd be fine with that as long as there was a version without it. Because as cool as the musical section was to watch, it's not exactly the kind of thing I'd vibe to in my downtime. Just not my taste
The swell that plays as Purple's trying to fly up to the King, to the looming figure of their *dad,* and the way the violin grabs a note from out of the key and WAILS ON IT for a second before losing steam…GOD-TIER (i am crying)
So I was listening to this in a Playlist while writing, and without the visuals it really spun an image in my mind and inspired me to make a whole new scene I never considered before. Amazing work through music alone.
As a fellow musician who also likes to write orchestral cinematic music, the key of C# minor is quite powerful in my opinion, so it was a great choice for 'An emotional journey'. If I knew how to play the clarinet or violin I'd definitely give this a shot. Also, fun fact: in the animation, the G# at 3:07 (played by the trombones) behind Dark Blue, is actually correct, if there was a bass clef and the key signature on the left Great work as always, excited to see what you've made for episode 30!
The fact that he used the built in game instruments to make it fit the minecraft genre, especially A journey ends is a bop only using different instruments within the game itself. I find that pretty clever and adds detail to the story to make it more moody
green pursuing purple and the music is like it's telling a story, a story of pain and sadness about a certain mystery and something is finally learned about this mystery.
Jeez Louise man, every note of this is absolutely phenomenal...I'm not saying anything that others haven't said more eloquently but I have to express my own love for this series of music. The first section, where Green pursues Purple, absolutely put me back in the frame of mind of classic gaming from the 90s and 2000s, chasing after bad guys in a sunset desert backdrop, just like here in AVM. The mix of the low-level intensity of the synth backbeat with the analog clarinet and strings over the top conveyed the emotions well. Green, part of the squad of eternal optimists, trying to reach through to someone who's literally left him for dead on multiple occasions...and Purple's outburst is just excellent. Then, as he's telling the story of his life, and he recounts losing his mother, and only having his tyrant of a father to follow in the footsteps of, the unsureness of his own "voice" is so wonderful, it conveys so much while saying so little. But I think the true piece de resistance of the entire medley is the reconciliation on the mountaintop. Purple is at his lowest, finally realizing how his actions have affected everyone around him. His heart breaks as the strings crack and weep for him. But, as Green reassures him and the music swells...the chord as he puts on the wings and steels his resolve...that's what finally made the tears flow for me. The arpeggio of the rising strings into the IV chord... that's gotta be scientifically-proven to be, like, a Pixar chord or something. If you didn't get chills or goosebumps at all when hearing that chord, I've gotta question your humanity lol. Seriously! Even typing about it and hearing it in my mind, I'm getting chills. It's an *incredibly* well-written piece for a video series that now, thanks to your work, punches *far* above "just a silly internet video". This is incredible. Bravo!
Yoooo.. the music alone almost broke me but combined with the whole visuals and smooth animation… this is out of this world! Just pure perfection!! 👏👏👏✨
Did you use samples and perform it on your own keyboard in your DAWS or did you get live musicians to play the clarinet and violin? It sounds like live musicians. Either way you did a freakin awesome job. Managing to help these characters speak in a world without dialogue.
Such an exceptionally amazing piece, especially at the "emotional rollercoaster" part, chills went down my spine. This is probably now one of my favourite pieces of yours, fantastic work there!
I love how the 6:25 part made me remind the ost "I am a master builder" from The Lego Movie. Which was also being used in the most excited fightback moment in the show. And now we're all proceeding to the greatest performance.
I love how when Purple is making the mad face, it sounds almost like a scream. This music honestly made me feel so much and I LOVE IT! Does anyone know if this is on Spotify?
when a stickman x minecraft story goes harder than recent marvel films Jokes aside, what an amazing score from Scott Buckley! And Alan Becker's animated series is a precious gem.
1:50 till the finish of purples story share pt.1 always makes me cry in the end It's sad how purple life started nice Till his father changed After fighting with his son he left because he was to harsh And after he left he tried to live with his mother to take care of her to make sure her life was great But it didn't work well in the end(because it seemed like she was getting hurt while time passes and it seems she didn't look in the high spirits) And it's sad to see that imagery where purple held his mother in his arms as she passed away from sadness and pain and it hurt more the fact that he had to bury the body of his mother Always makes me cry hard cus that story is just pure sad And the music just makes it more sad and more heartbreaking Fantastic work I will say Well done indeed
I love characters with backstories like purple where at the start of everything thwy just seem like there just a normal bad guy but then when they tell their stories and then they would've been misunderstood throughout the entire thing but when they redeem themselves everyone understands why they did what they did
This is such a beautiful piece of art. calming, with a bit of sadness mixed in as well. This can literally tell a story all on it's own. The emotions I felt when watching Alan's vid were mostly bc of the music. The way you so wonderfully conveyed the emotions. * chef's kiss* You did such a good job on this piece, well done. Love it 👏👏👏👏*applause*
Aaron Grooves and Scott Buckley is a crossover I never knew I needed Also I noticed that at 3:34 when Green does his lil wood wind thing. That's not in purples song. That's green in real time saying that and it's just so artistically represented in the song that it makes people think he said that in purples song
Alan: "Its just a stick figure dont go too hard"
This guy:
Based
i didnt know such beauty existed in music about 2 funny lil stickman's fighting over a pile of dirt
A friend pointed out to me how Purple’s violin “voice” fades in and out during the emotional abstract scene, often drowned behind other instruments. He’s most audible when he’s closest to meeting his dad’s expectations. Beautiful storytelling through the score.
I didn’t notice that
@The ultimate waterboy both
woah. That's some amazing visualization with the music
I kinda thought of a few "lyrics" and the violin at 4:35 would be "I am" and 4:41 "A-lone" Don't know why I made this into a comment
Wait I thought they were a she?
3:33 the way these notes play and when Green stares at Purple made me kinda tear up. Knowing that Green was always there for purple, but purple didn't care. They were too focused on their goal...
That part when green looked at purple is when i realized why everybody said the music is good
Those three little woodwind notes at 3:33, the part where Green is running past Purple and turns back towards him for a moment... what a beautiful, beautiful touch. That was heart-wrenching.
Yeah, and the little green music notes in the background
"Oh pur-ple.."
“Pine-ap-ple”
he turly cares about him
YEAH GUY- he's like "Oooh purple.."
In a story told without words, the burden of storytelling falls heavier on the score and visuals. I think it’s safe to say this score handles the burden with ease, Scott. Thanks again for an absolutely beautiful score.
agreed
Actually there is a video on RUclips where you can see what the Characters say from the first 4 Songs, this Song isn't in the Video.

@@kelpoiscool Plot twist: they were watching sports while writing this and got excited.

The nicest detail is 4:58, when the violin sounds really shaky, like someone who’s just cried taking a deep breath. Yes, the word is “shaky”.
It's this one and the Pigstep remix in The Ultimate Weapon for me.
Well, after episode 30, they went back to their normal lives, with some weapon and a tribute to technoblade with the crown...
But their lives will soon change...
A New Beginning will Come...
you said it best there bud
this
I like how this episode goes from happy animals zombies and villagers singing to a guy sharing his villain backstory by singing
I love how even without the animation, you can still hear the different characters “voices”
I also love the part at 4:04
Sameeee
I just love it

You and Aaron did an AMAZING job on the music for this episode, and Alan did an amazing job on the animation.
2000/10 episode, would watch on repeat.
So in a nutshell, Purple had daddy issues and wanted to do everything in his power to be recognized by him.
It might be even more than that. The part with the flower petals (both as they blow away from the grave and while Purple is falling) makes me think that Purple might blame himself for his family falling apart. It might symbolize him thinking that if he had been able to reach his father's expectations, he might not have left, his mother's health might not have deteriorated like it did, and she might still be alive. He was still young when his father left, so he might think the whole thing is his fault.
I think so🤔

They were on his mother's grave, because he was alone once she died (since the father left them), and they do flutter around him when he falls, after King grabs the master block from him - it shows that King had doublecrossed him, even though Purple saw him as a father figure, so Purple once again lost someone he considered like family; not through death or abandonment, but through betrayal. And when he started crying as his father walked away from him, he was once again surrounded by the petals, just driving it home further that he was all by himself, with no family.

The broken glass means mango does not give a flying f about his limits or other precautions, he just wants to “fix” hat happened.
@@Terrifygerpor eso me gusta mucho el king orange xddxd
Thanks for bringing this to us. You and Aaron made this episode amazingly deep and epic. For anyone reading this, please check the rest of Scott's work, he usually makes great content like this daily.
3:33
This part always gets me bro, those 3 notes are the best thing I've ever heard
This is just incredible, Alan got the right guy for the job!
It's stunning, heartbreaking and tence in one full.
The amount of emotion I feel listening to this music along with the stunning animation for the story is so powerful. Episode 29, especially this part, is my absolute favourite and makes me love these videos and everyone who works on them even more. They’re about stick figures! But I still find myself, crying, feeling amazed, excited, surprised, constantly thinking about the content and what will happen in future episodes. These make me so happy and I will never stop enjoying and appreciating the work that’s put into everything❤️❤️
This is ridiculously good. Haven't seen a vid make me so speechless since...maybe space with mark? Phenomenal work.
You're every bit as important to the making of this series as Alan is. The soundtrack is absolutely *amazing*. Also thank you for only including the second part
i kinda wish the first part was included aswell, because it seems aaron's not going to release it
@@Jake28 I'd be fine with that as long as there was a version without it. Because as cool as the musical section was to watch, it's not exactly the kind of thing I'd vibe to in my downtime. Just not my taste
@@Jake28 Well he released the first scene
I've listened to it 121 times and still love it! every time I listen to the little details
4:28 this part hits me very hard in the soul ❤️🩹
I don't know which came first, the animation or the music. They just fit together so well that it's hard to know which one is based on the other.
I know,
right?
The swell that plays as Purple's trying to fly up to the King, to the looming figure of their *dad,* and the way the violin grabs a note from out of the key and WAILS ON IT for a second before losing steam…GOD-TIER (i am crying)
電子音とマイクラの音とバイオリンの音をここまでマッチさせるのスゴすぎる、ほんま神
So I was listening to this in a Playlist while writing, and without the visuals it really spun an image in my mind and inspired me to make a whole new scene I never considered before.
Amazing work through music alone.
This soundtrack makes this episode my favorite from the entire series. Amazing job!
Please put this on Spotify! This is just too good!!!
As a fellow musician who also likes to write orchestral cinematic music, the key of C# minor is quite powerful in my opinion, so it was a great choice for 'An emotional journey'. If I knew how to play the clarinet or violin I'd definitely give this a shot.
Also, fun fact: in the animation, the G# at 3:07 (played by the trombones) behind Dark Blue, is actually correct, if there was a bass clef and the key signature on the left
Great work as always, excited to see what you've made for episode 30!
Every minor key has the same sound on twelve tone equal temperament. So much for being a musician lol
The fact that he used the built in game instruments to make it fit the minecraft genre, especially A journey ends is a bop only using different instruments within the game itself. I find that pretty clever and adds detail to the story to make it more moody
green pursuing purple and the music is like it's telling a story, a story of pain and sadness about a certain mystery and something is finally learned about this mystery.
Jeez Louise man, every note of this is absolutely phenomenal...I'm not saying anything that others haven't said more eloquently but I have to express my own love for this series of music.
The first section, where Green pursues Purple, absolutely put me back in the frame of mind of classic gaming from the 90s and 2000s, chasing after bad guys in a sunset desert backdrop, just like here in AVM. The mix of the low-level intensity of the synth backbeat with the analog clarinet and strings over the top conveyed the emotions well. Green, part of the squad of eternal optimists, trying to reach through to someone who's literally left him for dead on multiple occasions...and Purple's outburst is just excellent.
Then, as he's telling the story of his life, and he recounts losing his mother, and only having his tyrant of a father to follow in the footsteps of, the unsureness of his own "voice" is so wonderful, it conveys so much while saying so little.
But I think the true piece de resistance of the entire medley is the reconciliation on the mountaintop. Purple is at his lowest, finally realizing how his actions have affected everyone around him. His heart breaks as the strings crack and weep for him. But, as Green reassures him and the music swells...the chord as he puts on the wings and steels his resolve...that's what finally made the tears flow for me. The arpeggio of the rising strings into the IV chord... that's gotta be scientifically-proven to be, like, a Pixar chord or something. If you didn't get chills or goosebumps at all when hearing that chord, I've gotta question your humanity lol. Seriously! Even typing about it and hearing it in my mind, I'm getting chills. It's an *incredibly* well-written piece for a video series that now, thanks to your work, punches *far* above "just a silly internet video". This is incredible. Bravo!
Yoooo.. the music alone almost broke me but combined with the whole visuals and smooth animation… this is out of this world! Just pure perfection!! 👏👏👏✨
This is the best music ive ever heard in animation vs Minecraft, that a single tear fell into my eyes
2:59:when the teacher is arriving and I haven't done anything
Haha yes
I need this beautiful piece on Spotify!
Did you use samples and perform it on your own keyboard in your DAWS or did you get live musicians to play the clarinet and violin? It sounds like live musicians. Either way you did a freakin awesome job. Managing to help these characters speak in a world without dialogue.
Thanks! It is all samples programmed in my DAW. The magic of Hollywood 😁
@@ScottBuckley sounded great!
@@ScottBuckley why does it say this is the second half of the episode? is the first half not on RUclips?
@@Gardengap The first part was done by Aaron Grooves
@@Mramazing-mv2ix but is it on RUclips? I can’t find it
Such an exceptionally amazing piece, especially at the "emotional rollercoaster" part, chills went down my spine. This is probably now one of my favourite pieces of yours, fantastic work there!
I love how the 6:25 part made me remind the ost "I am a master builder" from The Lego Movie. Which was also being used in the most excited fightback moment in the show. And now we're all proceeding to the greatest performance.
omg yes is hear it
Is a me... a *M a r i o*

@@captainsprinkles6557 i don’t even care (dragon noises)
I love how when Purple is making the mad face, it sounds almost like a scream. This music honestly made me feel so much and I LOVE IT! Does anyone know if this is on Spotify?
I also love how Kings presence is portrayed through these Bass notes! It makes it feel almost intimidating!
when a stickman x minecraft story goes harder than recent marvel films
Jokes aside, what an amazing score from Scott Buckley! And Alan Becker's animated series is a precious gem.
What do you mean jokes aside
@@tre_._ ok i take it back it's not a joke. Alan Becker's stories do go harder than these recent marvel movies
@@trendysilver949 "Walker" ???
@@thedanfire9984 oops! I meant Becker. Sorry.
cant wait for the 30th episode if we're talking about this kind of quality
someone needs to make a 10 hr version of "An Emotional Journey."
Or just a single version you can loop.
@@rehkloo6 yeah
Just use the time stamp thing and loop
It even works with mobile
Bet you were expecting some RickRoll here.
3:34 I love this flute part or greens voice, this is just a short part of music, I like so much
Same here
bro im glad youtube can loop each chapter because i need to hear that emotional one a 100 times for sure
at 4:57 it sounds like hes saying "between bad and good, im bad"
This music was amazing. This episode remains one of my favorites. The music conveyed the message perfectly.
1:50 till the finish of purples story share pt.1 always makes me cry in the end
It's sad how purple life started nice
Till his father changed
After fighting with his son he left because he was to harsh
And after he left he tried to live with his mother to take care of her to make sure her life was great
But it didn't work well in the end(because it seemed like she was getting hurt while time passes and it seems she didn't look in the high spirits)
And it's sad to see that imagery where purple held his mother in his arms as she passed away from sadness and pain and it hurt more the fact that he had to bury the body of his mother
Always makes me cry hard cus that story is just pure sad
And the music just makes it more sad and more heartbreaking
Fantastic work I will say
Well done indeed
I love the violin crescendo
This is the first song that actually gave me chills. Well done man.
I love characters with backstories like purple where at the start of everything thwy just seem like there just a normal bad guy but then when they tell their stories and then they would've been misunderstood throughout the entire thing but when they redeem themselves everyone understands why they did what they did
This is such a beautiful piece of art. calming, with a bit of sadness mixed in as well. This can literally tell a story all on it's own. The emotions I felt when watching Alan's vid were mostly bc of the music. The way you so wonderfully conveyed the emotions. * chef's kiss* You did such a good job on this piece, well done. Love it 👏👏👏👏*applause*
Aaron Grooves and Scott Buckley is a crossover I never knew I needed
Also I noticed that at 3:34 when Green does his lil wood wind thing. That's not in purples song. That's green in real time saying that and it's just so artistically represented in the song that it makes people think he said that in purples song
The main background track is like a 4:3 polyrhythm but not really and I just love the craftsmanship put into composing this
What a Gorman roller coaster going from funny Minecraft animals to stickman child abuse
This score really made a revolution to your music Scott... The Automation, The Chords, Your passion, you got the job you deserve as well!
This is so beautiful, It really shows Purples struggles really well!
People who wants to skip to the emotinal journey just tap this! 2:54
Scott is ao skilled. He should be a movie composer. Beautiful as always ❤
OH SO IT WAS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR ANIMATION VS. MINECRAFT? This is AMAZING. I wish I could write compositions like this!
это очень круто
CHILLS!!!!!! This gave me the chills!!!
Alan: Ok. Make it really express how broken purple is inside.
Scott: Yes.
I really want this on spotify
