Guy, I must insist that you do this kind of thing more often. Providing insight on the choices made for a particular composition is something I find both educational and inspiring. So yes please do more deconstruction videos.
Im not the one in the household who's clocked up 150 hours! My little house looks a bit sad compared to the others but its a very very clever game and the sound and music are brilliant. The attention to detail is astounding.
One absolute banger of a RUclips video right here. Guy's one of the best teachers this earth has seen, and I mean that in more than a classroom sense - it's rare that you can teach wonderment.
Most people's studios are without any windows, totally closed. I really love the way you've created your home studio with a lot of light! That's something I'm going to do with my home studio! 🙂 Btw, thank you for your videos and knowledge you share with us!
Maybe a video on the use of leitmotifs in general. Peter and the Wolf...The Batman TV series (remember each villain had their own leitmotif?) maybe Wagner is a bit too much, but such a useful tool for "character recognition" is a must for scoring to film. Can't remember whose channel it's on, but someone did a great "deconstruction (Derrida ™️!) on the flat 5th motif in West Side Story.
Brilliant! Invaluable practical glimpse into a composer's mind, re-using a theme and taking it through VERY different emotional/narrative contexts. I loved watching this and will watch it again, and atempt to transcribe the theme and what you did with it to learn more. Thanks! And DO do more of this kind of thing!
The amount nostalgia in this theme makes me weep like a child without fail, it's good to know the chords themselves evoke that deliberately and I can tell myself i'm not a 22 year old locked in my room sobbing to the New Horizons theme in a blanket with a grin for no reason right? .....r......right?
Brilliant video and you're an awesome person! I wonder if you noticed the subtle music changes when you're visiting the museum. Like when you're in the dinosaur exhibit the music is simple and eerie, evoking a feeling of a very distant time, and when you move to the room with mamooths it has a similar ancient note but kind of like it was less time ago than the first room. Or maybe I'm just imagining things, but it makes me feel that way. Anyways great video as always, cheers!
Having watched a few of your videos now, I can happily say that I have subscribed! You are a captivating, energetic and highly entertaining presenter and the content of your videos is always engaging and inspiring. Thank you for continuing to provide us with fantastic, enriching content! :)
Guy Michelson's videos are helping me stay motivated so much during this lockdown. Been a really difficult time for me and this guy's attitude to making these videos is amazing. Thanks Guy!
This was one of the best things I've watched this year. I didn't skip or fast forward a second of 30 min video. Please to more of these!!! #collectAPPLESS
Indeed, Guy. Manipulating a 'motif' is a great way of squeezing every last drop out of the font. Probably something we should practice a little more. The pitch bending idea is an interesting angle. I have always been a bit of a fan of bending when I get half the chance. Doesn't always work out well but the possibilities are endless.
Hi Guy, i would love this to be a Series. There are so many cool video games with iconic Music. Love your work it educates and entertains at the same time. Best wishes to you, your family and everyone else important to you
To be fair, a LOT of recent Japanese music follows these kinds of chord progressions. Dozens of anime themes, example, follow very similar - if not identical - chord progressions. It works really well.
Absolutely adore these kinda videos. Actually I've gotten quite a fan of your channel and even dusted off my old Roland JV90 and installed Logic Pro on the Mac to get going again. Now if only I could actually play a nice little tune instead of just mocking around. Now that would be something!
Enjoyed the ever-loving stuffing out of this. For more VGM to deconstruct, may I suggest David Wise's work on the Donkey Kong Country series? Who wouldn't love to hear Guy breaking that down?
Guy, this was a fantastic video and I would love to see you do more 'deconstruction' videos in the future. Been a subscriber for a number of years now and it's great to see your channel grow from strength to strength. Also, thank you for keeping us all entertained (and educated) during this lockdown period 🙌
I just found out this channel today, and I love this "Guy" already! Good information with a right amount of jokes, he's also very expressive which is lovely.
You should definitely look into deconstructing the soundtrack of the “Little Nightmares” video game! I would love to see you do the opposite and maybe make it sound more happy? Looking forward to more content, truly inspirational! 🙏🏾
I really enjoy your videos they're both educational and entertaining. You do make me chuckle plus I go away with new ideas for my own composing. Thanks Guy !!
Wow! Guy, you have opened up so much for me in this session, showing how music is such a wonderful thing and that anything is possible. Thank you so much, just gotta learn how to play the keys?
Nice video guy! Do stuff like this every Time you can! By the way I'm doing your course "How to write music" and Is really well made, I'm learning a Lot!
Hi Guy ! Well done ! more games tv and film music will be great : ) thank you
4 года назад+2
I didn't know how badly I wanted to hear Guy talk about VGM until it happened. Is there a chance you might do more? :D Thank you so much for a delightful video!
I thought the "Deconstruction" idea was really great! When I hear something I like, I immediately try to work out how it's done. What are the chords, what kind of keyboard, why does this Springsteen track have glockenspiel on it? Breaking down how a number was done is part of being a music fan, and a musician, in this day and age.
This is all so entertaining and informative. Gotta love it. Subbed. My wife's about to invest in a keyboard. Why did you change keyboards away from the NI 88 to the Oxygen?
Not gonna lie but I thought I was going mad when I didn’t see this uploaded earlier on in the week. Thought I had dreamt that guy mentioned about this video last week! Doing up a room to be a studio at the moment but looking forward to watching this with gusto later! :)
Guy Michelmore Twitch stream coming soon? ;) Regardless this was great - would really love to see some more content regarding video game music. Personally it's my favorite realm of composing so this was fascinating, and I'd definitely be interested in some more. Some really good ones to look at would be The Witcher, Horizon: Zero Dawn, or Assassin's Creed Odyssey.. they all make heavy use of real "native" instruments that you don't see too often, so I think there's a lot of potential there to make interesting content. Thanks as always for the video!
Guy, could you do a video on using external MIDI controllers? I think that's what it's called... (I thought it was the pitch bend wheel at first but the pitch wasn't bending!) I think I've noticed you using different ones in your videos as you play, but I didn't know what they were. Excited to see more videos like this!
Insanely great video. Would absolutely love to see more deconstructions and breakdowns, there's something to be said for seeing the composition process in this way
As a teenager I hope I stay as fun and youthful as you in my later years.. whether or not I can become a similarly talented composer is a different question! Thank you for your wonderful videos, Guy.
But the fluegelhorn gets missed as a trumpet. To me, the fluegelhorn adds a lot of character, particularly in a mellow, somewhat nostalgic way. That's a small point, though. It's great to hear this sort of analysis!
An appeal to the scientific community: please clone Guy. Due to his knowledge, positive attitude and amazing sense of humour, he should be available to each and everyone of us. Basically, Guy is a human right ;) Make it happen!
Hello Sir ! Which piano VST are you using ? It sounds great ! Thank you so much for your videos, they have inspired me to take up piano and making my own music via VST and music producing softwares.
Hey Guy I'm just getting into making orchestral music making but I'm not sure which tools I'd need. I got the free Spit Fire now but I was wondering do you believe it is essential to get a piano like that to plug in for the program? I'm a percussionist, so anything percussion I can do really well. The other instruments I know each tone but not the note letter that corresponds to it, so I listen it out and try to match the tones. Great channel btw!
I like the "grandchild" analogy! What about going the other way with it, though? a V7 chord sounds "expecting," so maybe the I is the child that comes from that expectation; in turn, that makes the V/V the grandparent!
Guy, I must insist that you do this kind of thing more often. Providing insight on the choices made for a particular composition is something I find both educational and inspiring. So yes please do more deconstruction videos.
It was an experiment and if people like it Ill do more. seems to be popular so we'll look at some more games tv and film music and pull them apart
@@ThinkSpaceEducation you are amzing
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Please do so. Even that I am not doing composition, it helps me with my musical inspiration for band :)
+1 for me. Absolutely fantastic and educational, learned a LOT from this! Keep up the great work!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I second that. Very informative and insightful. I'd love to see more.
Guy and Nintendo music, it doesn't get more wholesome than that... until he starts talking about dead Isabelle
For sure! Would've love to see Guy take on some tunes from Mario Odyssey as well. There's some real good stuff in there! :)
@@andreassmidelov definitely, gusty garden galaxy comes to mind :)
Guy never fails to knock my socks off inspire me to create while also making me feel horribly inadequate in the most star struck reverence possible.
Guy and Animal Crossing?! This just made my entire week!
Im not the one in the household who's clocked up 150 hours! My little house looks a bit sad compared to the others but its a very very clever game and the sound and music are brilliant. The attention to detail is astounding.
Well i didn't expect that, but i welcome it whole heartedly

"Image Isabell in Nook's office... and she's dead." 🤣
here's chunky... he's dead
I came searching for this comment
Oookay, you're officially my favorite music youtuber lmao
Most people's studios are without any windows, totally closed.
I really love the way you've created your home studio with a lot of light!
That's something I'm going to do with my home studio! 🙂
Btw, thank you for your videos and knowledge you share with us!
“Nice idea, wrong timing”
Sums up my love life
"I WILL COLLECT APPLES!"
Guy, you crack me up :) You also educate me - yes, more of these deconstructions/analyses/re-purposing videos please!!!
Maybe a video on the use of leitmotifs in general.

Like spaceship scenes in blade runner 2049 27:30
dune3 is an amazing Synth for complicated pad sounds. I love your work and great entertainment Guy!
I’ve not played animal crossing but that did not stop me enjoying this thoroughly... and learning lots at the same time
Changing that melody into Horror is really fun :) Creative!
Brilliant! Invaluable practical glimpse into a composer's mind, re-using a theme and taking it through VERY different emotional/narrative contexts. I loved watching this and will watch it again, and atempt to transcribe the theme and what you did with it to learn more. Thanks! And DO do more of this kind of thing!
0:51' great changing the position and mixing 2 shots. Thanks Guy

The music has enormous depth and subtlety - this only scratches the surface
Please, please make a full arrangement out of that first orchestral version, I will pay several pounds to listen to that as a full song! So nice! :)
Having watched a few of your videos now, I can happily say that I have subscribed! You are a captivating, energetic and highly entertaining presenter and the content of your videos is always engaging and inspiring. Thank you for continuing to provide us with fantastic, enriching content! :)
First half reminded me of The Eagles, Desperado. Loving the videos. Always brightens my day.
Masterful .. Even the camera got blurry with tears of joy at the end ..
Guy, thanks a lot for this. My suggestion DO MORE "Deconstructed" episodes
Seconded
OK its clearly popular so why not (NOOOOOOOOO! screams my lawyer) Guy continues anyway ....
Thank you Guy! Oh yes, DECONSTRUCTED is a very good format. Looking forward to seeing the next one. 😉
would LOVE more of this content!
When he said isabelle's dead I started weeping
Guy Michelson's videos are helping me stay motivated so much during this lockdown. Been a really difficult time for me and this guy's attitude to making these videos is amazing. Thanks Guy!
Its a hard time and we are aL having ups and downs so Im delighted to be able to give you a little lift!
Easily one of my favorite videos so far! I found myself laughing along with Guy
This was one of the best things I've watched this year. I didn't skip or fast forward a second of 30 min video. Please to more of these!!! #collectAPPLESS
19:22 You are epic! :D Thank you for this awesome video!
Amazing video and explanation! Please keep making Deconstructed videos!
This is brilliant. I'd love to see a series like this from you!
Yes. I’d like to see more videos like this one. This was extremely insightful and inspiring. Thanks.

Love your videos, Sir! I'm at school now - should be looking to get back momentarily! Watch this video when I finish!
around 23:05 those basses... opening of Bartok Concerto for Orchestra!

What a fascinating video. Thank you. You also explain things so well. Please do some more.
You're such skilled and talented... uh man. Nice to watch!
Amazing. I don’t know how but the way you teach makes sense to my fevered brain! 🎛🎼😂
I am so happy I found this channel! This is some of the most entertaining and educational music content on this website. Amazing!

Amazing, extraordinary, instructive, funny... thanks for your vídeos. You are great !!!! Greetings from Spain.
Wow! Guy, you have opened up so much for me in this session, showing how music is such a wonderful thing and that anything is possible. Thank you so much, just gotta learn how to play the keys?
very interesting, there are not too much talk about the music this is a good anaylysis for music
Nice video guy! Do stuff like this every Time you can! By the way I'm doing your course "How to write music" and Is really well made, I'm learning a Lot!

cant wait to sign up for your course, thank you :)
I really liked the sinister version! No need for the S.O.D. there ;) The slight pitch bend on the pads did it! Really cool and inspiring video.
woop, this is exactly the kind of thing I thought you'd be great at and really wanted to see!
Okay, this is officially one of the best creations made by a human being in all of history.
This is so good.
OK so #1 Guy does Animal Crossing #2 Sistine Chapel #3 Beethoven's 9th...I'll settle for that
You should take a look at Gusty Garden Galaxy from the first Super Mario Galaxy. It is easily one of Nintendo's finest musical works.
This is great, I always learn so much from your videos and they've really encouraged me to go forward with music. You're awesome!
Oh... I LOVE the noire version!!! Brilliant...
More please!! :D
13:42 sounds like the fear by lilly allen!
Omg I love this. Thanks Guy!!!!
Thanks for this de-construction, it was funny (like always) and usefull (like always).
This is all so entertaining and informative. Gotta love it. Subbed.
My wife's about to invest in a keyboard. Why did you change keyboards away from the NI 88 to the Oxygen?
And YES here are they, 28:37 the glasses 😎 of doubt 🤣👍
I like the saloon piano... from which library is it from? Thanx!
This is both interesting and insightful, while still being easy to digest for dummies like me. I'd love to see more deconstructions. :)
I enjoy these types of videos. Thanks! (The intro has a 'Randy Newman'-like sound to it, for some reason.)
Absolutely. I thought I said exactly that but clearly only thought it. The whole nostalgia thing is so toy story
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Oops! My apologies, you DID mention it. Teaches me right for not turning my cellphone off while watching this.
Not gonna lie but I thought I was going mad when I didn’t see this uploaded earlier on in the week. Thought I had dreamt that guy mentioned about this video last week! Doing up a room to be a studio at the moment but looking forward to watching this with gusto later! :)
Guy please part 2 of the genre wheel
OK yes I will return to that

Those first four chords sound like the opening chords of The Eagles' Desperado. G, G7 (bass F), C (bass E), Cm6 (bass E flat).... if memory serves

Game track analysis like this is great.
Insanely great video. Would absolutely love to see more deconstructions and breakdowns, there's something to be said for seeing the composition process in this way
Hey Guy, how about a video where you compose a theme by whistling or humming all the parts into Cubase before adding instrumentation?
Hmmmm... there Ive started already
@@ThinkSpaceEducation b flat?
As a teenager I hope I stay as fun and youthful as you in my later years.. whether or not I can become a similarly talented composer is a different question! Thank you for your wonderful videos, Guy.
Seconded.
I'm surprised you didn't make a joke about Nintendos lawyers showing up in your garden.
Never joke about lawyers or the jokes usually on you!
Guy, you are my hero! 😁
YOU'RE COVERING VIDEO GAME MUSIC AND I COULDN'T BE ANY HAPPIER

LOL. I love whenever you put the shades on.
