probably better not to limit to the same chords. and the lyrics should be sort of ambiguous so that each person might take it in a different direction. this sort of happened with a melody that Cevin Key wrote, used it for both Skinny Puppy and Tear Garden (The Center Bullet) the melody was actually about his mother who had just died, the title refers to have devastated he was to lose her. but he doesn't write lyrics, so for Skinny Puppy I think it was recorded as an instrumental, but for the Tear Garden Edward Ka-spel's interpretation was about a revenge shot to the head
Have to say that it is so so heartwarming to see Rob realize what Andrew is doing and decide to step out of the way and let him explore. Giving space for his intuition over Rob's knowledge of the genre. The song is so special and unique and I love it! Just discovered the show, can't wait to tune in every week!
@@Lennard222want to add Title Fight, And Balance & Composure to the list. They're a little heavier side of the genre. Joyce Manor and Camping in Alaska are closer to what's shown in the video. And if you've never heard Nevermeant, that's a quintessential song to the genre
midwest emo was def what rob was itching for here. Agree it's impressive (a skill in the industry no doubt) Rob let Andrew do his thing. Still sounds sick af, and if you added distortion and sped it up 20 bpm it would be emo af anyways @@Lennard222
Here's a tuning I've been experimenting with recently: 1. Restring your guitar to be like a left handed, but play it right handed anyway. So the high e is closest to you, while the low E is furthest from you. 2. Retune the strings so that they are eadgbE like a normal guitar... but because all the strings are backwards, they descend in pitch instead of increasing in pitch. So high e and low E stay the same, while b -> a, d -> g, g -> d, and a -> b. 3. After not snapping your a string because you tunes it up 2 semitones, you now have this very familiar setup that is completely foreign at the same time. All your 5ths become 4ths, 3rds become 6ths, and so on. playing usual chord voicings can sometimes oddly sound like cluster chords, forcing you to come up with different shapes you otherwise would never use or think of.
As a song writer myself this got me all excited. The idea that one simple idea can form a whole song. It is what dreams are made of. Touche gents, TOUCHE!
I was so happy to see Rob take an executive decision to stop the timer and just see where this ended up. It was like a First of October song reaching it's full potential. Awesome track.
By far one of the best pieces of art either of you have made. It's awesome when creative people get to do creative things together. Never stop being human.
Watching this video I put my guitar in the same tuning and ended up writing one of the best songs I’ve ever written for my band, debuting the song tonight in Glasgow ! Thank you guys
this song is so incredbly beautiful and i still am coming back to this video months later. the process of rob stepping back from his leadership role and really letting andrew create his vision is so beautiful. i want to hear an intire andrew huang midwest emo album now
I'm still surprised you haven't launched this as a different channel. You guys are awesome and could grow this into something bigger than either of your channels easily.
I love the level of self awareness to realize that this was more than just a song for content. This was one of those moments where the right call was to throw the script completely out the window and go along for the adventure, you guys nailed it!
Sonic Boom has got me very excited for First of October this year. Songs like Que Pasa and the two shown today sound fantastic and the chemistry between you two continues to grow each year. So much love to the both of you 💕💕
I really appreciate Rob just admitting: "I'm giving Andrew a really beautiful tuning, because I selfishly wanna hear an Andrew Huang song in this style!"
Huge props to Rob for being able to step back and let Andrew cook. Sometimes that’s the most important contribution you can make to a piece of art when working with other people.
Watching Rob gently asking for instructions in his supportive servant voice is so funny after watching part one where everything is in his head and he is commanding the entire studio to make that thing. both lovely videos to watch
obsessed over the synth solo that chord movement is so so good after stalling on one chord for so long plus the synth itself reminds me a lot of lena raines signature sound so instant plus
my song "Everything Leads to Now" on my album self was written in this tuning .. the album just got a 9/10 review in Music Connection Magazine.. THANK YOU
I had chills the whole song. Both Andrew and Rob know when they're writing something unique and beautiful and they have such a deep trust to let the inspiration follow through. Again, just so much fun seeing these two guys having fun writing music.
I was going to say "it's like they were made for each other" but it is more like they are "made OF each other". So cool to see creative collaboration that yields so much more than the sum of its parts
...it just goes on and on my friend, some people started making it not knowing what it was, but then they kept on doing it forever just because this series needs to never end
Been a fan of yours for over 8 years of my own music making journey, and I will always take any opportunity to watch your videos and hear you create. This one was really something special, absolutely haunting and chilling song. Props to Rob for letting you go your own way with this, I'd love an album of this kinda music NGL. 💛
First of all: amazing track. Hard to believe it was written in, line, 2 hours. Second: it's so cool to see the song writing process. Sections, developing a sound, production, philosophy, and methodology. So. Rad. Love you guys.
I love this song and I love the teamwork of these two. I honestly would watch a whole series of them making whatever song ideas come to mind. I don't need any of the challenges or whatever. Just pure creativity. I'll watch whatever they make tho!
Although this was in many ways Andrew’s creation, so many interesting choices by Rob made this song happen…! Not only did he choose the tuning, but he had the wisdom to sit this one out, AND turn off the timer…? Beautiful!!
His drumming is so perfectly placed in the final song too, it escalates in all the right spots and really captures the feeling of the song in a way drums usually don’t.
Would like to start by acknowledging Rob's growth on drums. I see you Rob, nice work! I could not stop listening to the final product here. It put me in a different place that was lovely, and I just love you Andrew and Rob, thank you for the continued amazing content. Music = LIFE
I have been a fan of yours and Rob's for so many years at this point, and I just need to say how damn cool Sonic Boom is and how much I appreciate what you two are doing here.
After seeing both videos I’m blown away at how talented and intuitive you guys both are, even on drums! Nice to see how supportive you each are of each others strengths. Cool how Andrew jumped in on the lyrics of his song while Rob was focused on other details knowing how he was racing the clock, then how Rob stepped back and even killed the timer for Andrew, maybe because he knew he would perform better without the pressure. Great partnership guys.
but also yeah I would love to hear a midwest emo/math rock album from rob + andrew. Rob actually does have a midwest emo album though! It’s great it’s called the winter months. Fairly old though
Just want to throw out that I only discovered Covet recently because of Rob mentioning them in a video, and loving what they do, it also got me into the whole wider math rock and midwest emo scenes. Andrew's song absolutely fits in with the vibe, and is absolutely beautiful. Hats off to Rob too for having absolutely no ego and stepping back.
This is easily my favorite thing Andrews ever written. And I normally don't like his vocals, but these were super different. Much lower, or harmonized. Really loved this.
I saw FACGCE in the thumbnail and instantly clicked, it's always a blast to see how people experiment with mathy/emo tunnings. By far my favorite song by u guys, great vid ♥
you two remain one of the greatest musicians and influences in my life. both of you are the reason i keep making sound and part of the reason i sound the way i do. i love you guys, and adlib skill, and beautiful appreciation for music and the people and things around you. please, for us, keep up your amazing work! :)
As a fan of math rock, I can tell you it’s so hard to find this kind of amazing open mindedness and to see such an amazing musician really appreciate it really warms my heart ❤️
Hey hey, I posted this on Rob's channel too... I love both of your channels independently and you two are supper rad together! Thanks for keeping music making fun. Love it! And super cool to have a production team to play with they're super cool too. You're all great! This makes me think of the video Andrew posted about branding and it's limitations. I love the metal guitars on Rob's challenge too!!! Love to see you both trying lost of different things. Please keep it up.
I absolutely love that you and Rob's collab has come from semi-serious but mostly memey content creation to a semi-memey but mostly serious artistic band - you both challenge one another so well and collaborate harmoniously. Absolutely lovely!
I used to write songs in this tuning in the 2000s, and a variation of it FACGCF and FACGBE. I was/am a huge SDRE fan and the sound of this tuning always reminded me of their prettier stuff.
I love the dynamic that Rob and Andrew has with all of their shenanigans!! Just friends hanging out with an INTENSE passion for music. Love it!! Great song and great video :D
that was a banger of a tune, been watching rob for a long time and recently seen some of your modular synth collabs and now I've been binging all the stuff he has done with you and your channel, you both have immense talent and its awesome to see you both bounce ideas off each other and make magic
Y'all's friendship and musicality are so so lovely. I love the chaos and goofy fun, as well as seeing y'all genuinely love and support each other in your creativity
Funny how I actually got a very Devin Townsend "Ocean Machine" era vibe from the verses. Man... I got completely lost into that song when it was played in full... beautiful❤
My guitarist buddy is back in town and I was just messaging him today about setting up a jam sesh soon. Thank you Rob and Andrew for spotlighting this beautiful tuning! It will be a highlight of our upcoming jam for sure. Keep up the good work!
"Were you born in Champaign..." Heeh, I got that! Fantastic song, if you hadn't shown us, I would have presumed that song took much longer to make. Great sounds.
Your singing's sounding fantastic, sounds like you're experimenting with different timbres and tones, the end result is beautiful...especially that mellow verse!
Absolutely beautiful. Every bit of this, from the performance to the mixing to the editing of the video, is such an amazing display of skill and care. What a time to be alive.
Fantastic work guys. My guitarist and I we do this every Saturday, it is quite fun. And that's the end result really is having fun creating music with your friends. Take care, ~Jonny5🥁
I love y’all’s musical and personal chemistry, it’s intoxicating watching and listening to what the two of you come up with your team together. Seems like a great atmosphere where music couldn’t help but flow ❤ love both y’all
truly beatiful song and video. the lve between yall is real and thank you for sharing your lights with us and making the videos yall do. Got me all teary eyed and goosebumpy in the morning watching Rob see what was happening before him and saying screw the challenge let Andrew take all the time to cook up this beautiful master piece.
@@Rodrifuuuhe’s expecting it to go down to resolve. Andrew is holding the 6th note in the key, which in a major key, is also the “home” note of the relative minor key, which may be why it sounds kind of resolved to you. But in the key of F major, which is what this song is written in, that note wants to resolve down to a C which is the 5th in the key of F, which is the most stable interval other than an octave. I hope this makes sense to you, I realize it is kind of wordy haha
There is nothing on the entirety of the internet that is more wholesome, creative, funny, and inspiring than the two of you working together to create music. 🥰
Can't wait for the open tuning math rock album, Canadian Football.
scrolled down to see how many people independently arrived at this exact joke lol
Canadian Hockey
canadian bacon
In order to circle the joke back into also being something layered and profound, I would propose the album title Argonauts.
Mexican Hockey
"Forgot about the C-section. So I guess we need another punch"
- things you can say in a recording studio, but not in a delivery suite
i kinda feel like you need to write two songs separate from eachother but with the same lyrics and see what the differents results are
Looove this idea
Yeah and same chords too! Just like 4 producers flip the same sample but instead it's the same song with different production
probably better not to limit to the same chords. and the lyrics should be sort of ambiguous so that each person might take it in a different direction. this sort of happened with a melody that Cevin Key wrote, used it for both Skinny Puppy and Tear Garden (The Center Bullet) the melody was actually about his mother who had just died, the title refers to have devastated he was to lose her. but he doesn't write lyrics, so for Skinny Puppy I think it was recorded as an instrumental, but for the Tear Garden Edward Ka-spel's interpretation was about a revenge shot to the head
@@andrewhuang Maybe you could give the lyrics to 4 songwriters and don't give them any rules or notes and see what they create
And the same set of random instruments
Have to say that it is so so heartwarming to see Rob realize what Andrew is doing and decide to step out of the way and let him explore. Giving space for his intuition over Rob's knowledge of the genre. The song is so special and unique and I love it! Just discovered the show, can't wait to tune in every week!
Can someone tell me the genre? I wanna hear more like this :D

@@donnymcjonny6531Thanks :) I appreciate it
midwest emo was def what rob was itching for here. Agree it's impressive (a skill in the industry no doubt) Rob let Andrew do his thing. Still sounds sick af, and if you added distortion and sped it up 20 bpm it would be emo af anyways @@Lennard222
This is just an excuse for Rob to say "so beautiful" while staring deeply into Andrew's eyes.
😭💀
He doesn't need an excuse
Well, Andrew has pretty eyes. Who can blame him? 🤣
he literally doesn't even hide this anymore 12:54
So true
Rob Scallon around 6:19 saying "I can't take it anywhere except places I've already been" is such a good line.
Seriously though
This has such a first of october vibe. I think they are probably a major influence for them.
People should check them out. They release an album pretty much every year.
... literally every October... no "pretty-much" about it... well hopefully they keep doing it, right?
@@better.betternot 2020 tho😢
@@enricosonvezzo that year didn't exist, so they didn't miss it.
were they inspired by the Swirlies?

Rob being flabbergasted by everything Andrew did was heartwarming
His face at 9:55 ...
hahaha
The producer is as much a character as Andrew and rob when it comes to how amazing the song sounds, I’m in love with this track!
We write and record everything in the studio but post production and mix is done by me :)
As a song writer myself this got me all excited. The idea that one simple idea can form a whole song. It is what dreams are made of. Touche gents, TOUCHE!
Yah just pick some kinda starting point and go!
Tune your guitar DDDDDD, put a capo on the 2nd fret, and only play the diatonic frets (do, re, mi - don't play the sharp/flat frets).
Thank me later
I was so happy to see Rob take an executive decision to stop the timer and just see where this ended up. It was like a First of October song reaching it's full potential. Awesome track.
By far one of the best pieces of art either of you have made. It's awesome when creative people get to do creative things together. Never stop being human.
That's funny because Rob did very little hahaha

check out american football (lp1), these guys made FACGCE tuning as popular as it is. amazing band
It’s cool seeing other EDM producers with an acoustic instrument + music theory background!
I love that Rob recognized how genuinely nice this song was turning out and nixed the timer in order to let it develop. Rob's a real one

I love how the songs are basically polar opposites of each other. Fantastic work
