Video Game Themes. What can I say about Video Game Themes that I didn't say last week? Hmm...emotions? Video game themes are capable of invoking many emotions within people, although that's kind of an obvious fact now. Hmm...a neat thing about Video game themes is the fact that multiple emotions can spawn from a single track. Sometimes battle and boss battle themes can start off all intense and dark, but then the chorus could be something melodic to help give the player some much needed motivation. If it wasn't clear already, I love video game themes. Especially in genres like JRPGs. So much so that I've written quite a few myself. Which brought me (and some of you) to a single question. At this point, could I make a video game-style theme without hearing it? And...within 30 minutes? Find out today in "Attempting to Make a Video Game Theme Without Hearing It in 30 Minutes". I hope you enjoy!

They should call this the Beethoven Challenge.
isn't it already called the Beethoven challenge? I saw a video from a guy that did the same thing and he called it the Beethoven challenge
well yes but no Beethoven went deaf when he was writing his 9th symphony "Ode to Joy" hopefully I spelt Ode right. and I believe he used the wooden floor as a note detector for how they sound with vibration but idk I haven't done my research on how he wrote the 9th symphony
Lim Azuma he also used a stick to feel the music
@@bahaman19901 I saw in another message but thank you for telling me

There only few wrong notes oh god my whole career
ikr XD
there were wrong notes?
damn i didnt even notice
A lot of improvising and and solid knowledge of basic music theory will get you far. This is still impressive though

I thought the wrong notes were cool in the song, like adding a sense of fear, or like something is wrong!
that's what a minor scale or a mode is for used correctly
Sylas, the Unshackled Music is subjective. Don’t discredit the knowledge and research put into polytonal and 12-tonal music theory. “Wrong” notes can be used to great effect when used intentionally. There aren’t a finite amount of ways to approach a single idea or emotion.
Right, like they sounded intentional
@@MrShyguyRS Yeah, while I don't use microtones and stick to the Western 12 tone system, I more often than not play outside of the scale in a song rather than playing a full song only in scale. I often use all 12 notes in a single song or sometimes in a single riff. It's a lot of fun when you know some music theory.
Like doubt of every possibility to Euphoria
imagine if artists could draw by only listening to their work
I don't think that would be possible XD

Also shady: *Can't hear his own cry*
yes, that is what silently means
while shady makes a good song in 30 minutes without hearing it back i only make a shitty song in like 3 weeks with proper audio lol
i mean he has done multiple songs including some of the most good music i ever heard soooooo yeah, that's why

Hey Shady, make a music using your voice. Record yourself and make different sounds like for base, leads, beats, etc. Challenging but interesting.
So... Acapella?
That would be really cool
That doesn't sound like much of a challenge
that's sounds pretty interesting for a challenge

Make a song without going back to fix any mistakes. What you do is what you do and no going back.
Em B the ultimate improvisation
Local man composes better song without hearing it than most people would have if they'd been able to hear what they were doing.
"I'm like Beethoven, but garbage."

Me: Haha, this is going to be hilarious.
>song starts
Me: What the hell, it's amazing!?
Fuzunga exactly
Literally heard just the first second and knew it was going to be a banger
I know right
Fr tho, when he played it for the first time I was sitting here thinking "WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?!"
The anticipation for that song reveal at the end had us all on the edge of our seats. We knew it would be great, and were still blown away.
Also, hot take: i really really loved both versions this time. The remade one is stellar as always, but the first one somehow has a lighter quality to it that really really brings out the guitar and the heckin amazing beat. Also, the buildup bits in the middle (see 11:28-11:48 to get what I'm referring to) were AWESOME to me for some reason.
I loved it too, it was kinda like a moment of breath within a boss fight before having to get back into it. They honestly were very cool sections.
yep! i loved it too
Okay, the first version was already pretty well done, specially considering you weren't even hearing it, but the redone version is FREAKING SUPERB. HELL, I WAS LITERALY DANCING A WHILE AGO
Make a song but all the instruments have to be randomly selected.

Beethoven was deaf ;D
Shady is the next Beethoven
Hope he did not become deaf
Making music in DAW’s without hearing isn’t that impressive, what is impressive however is how good shady is at making music in general.
Beethoven made symphonies.. not this stuff. Not saying that it’s not amazing, but never on the same level as Beethoven
@@tencen7121 Beethoven could still hear by using a metal pole and sticking it into his mouth whilst having it connected to his piano. This is called bone induction and he used his skull and teeth to resonate the sound to his inner ear rather than having his outer ear do all of the work (which didn't work very well at all).
asfsf fsffa gg Is that not extremely uncomfortable
1:12 "Time to deaf. Time to blind" is this indicating an "Attempting to Make (something) Without Seeing It" video?
also why does peeno sound like one of those apps that are supposed to help you learn piano
Nyctoverse wait that would be incredible, also please subscribe to me, I’m trying to grow my channel :,) I sound like a whiny kid now

Thank you for the time stamps senpai
God bless your soul
hey. hey.
is your name a fucking jojo reference
@@lolcat1382 Yes, yes, yes, oh mah gawd.
I see you’re a man of culture as well.
Shady: calito(his Dora the Explorer plush) what do I do?
Dora plush: *Spanish noises*
shady: you're right!
this feels like it would be the type of music that would be in the end of an indie story game, like undertale for example, like you're meeting and saying your last goodbye to the great charecters youve met...
I remember this stream, this came out very good considering you couldn't hear (aside from those wrong peenos). And the remade version is probably one of my new favorites of yours.
Also fun fact: At 7:07 I was the one who said that. Don't ask me why, I don't remember.
i was laughing pretty hard when you said that
Missed the chance of calling it "Blind Fight"
That would have been sick other than that fact that he was deaf and not blind for this.
@@gigaboom_9618 I mean it's almost the same thing except it's the other sense
"Blind Struggle"
Blindly Swinging.
@@silverbunny6344 you could use that same sentence as an insult to a blind or deaf person.
Make a song using chat's suggestions. I'm sure that will go well.
"wait, it's all megalovania?"
"always has been"
Watching these videos legit gives me the inspiration to improve my own music. Thanks, Shady!
Same, I hope one day I'll be able to make something as good as this without listening, or even with listening
*Listens to the song for the first time*
“Amazing”
I think we all appreciate the subtle visual and audio after effects. The added reverbs, zooms, shakes. Thank you for these little bois.
“Im going to actually just... fecal matter... this entire room” i literally snorted out of nowhere on that one
Then the “its slowing down it cant handle this much.... garbage....” i fucking died
that was incredible. and to think, this isn't even your final form...
I wanted to make a Beethoven joke, but there are already a lot of them.
So instead of that, enjoy this sad face: 6:54
damn you sum kind of eagle or what?

"He couldn't even hear why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch."
I feel like there were more reasons to that than him being deaf.

These never cease to amaze me. After I'm done laughing at Shady's creative suffering, of course.
Honestly I love this track, because of that bridge section. Sudden time signature changes, yes.
Honestly, this kinda sounds like something I would expect to hear in a Falcom-game... Good job doing that in just 30 minutes without being able to hear it
even deaf, you can make better music in 30 minutes than I can in my entire life time...
This sounds like it would play in a big climactic fight with your rival, with dialogue whenever it slows down
I love all your music, but honestly I just wanna rant about how much I adore soulless cacophony
I really like this. The wrong notes kind of have it some character and a bit of a spooky feel. Like imagine a combat game you know not a lot of blood and injury is just shown at the health bar but all of the sudden it turns into a seriously brutal like cannibalism and torture and shit and the screen gradually starts to turn red until the screen and audio is all messed up and it’s just like “error please restart” or something like that. Just an idea that popped up in my head haha. Crazy how much inspiration music can give you...
my jaw DROPPED when i heard the first version. so amazed by how good it was that i could cry
I think he should do one without being able to see and has to hear to know where everything goes
Sounds interesting but I guess it would just be a pain in the ass.. he would know if it's right or not but it's time consuming and he will just have more trouble finding the right instruments and stuff
@@naammh1784 So chat will help him
@@ClavaleeDefunct oh true.. still in that case it'll work but he just needs more time
@@naammh1784 He's done an hour before, so he'll get an hour
@@ClavaleeDefunct yes well that doesn't change that all it changes is the time needed
Considering that he couldn't hear it, it sounded really good! He never fails to surprise me honestly
You never fail to amaze me, I was expecting it to end up a lot worse because, if it were me, I would rely too much on the sounds, but when it played my jaw fell open. It truly shows you have a firm grasp on your software and have an understanding of the structure of your songs. You're probably one of my favorite music artists of all time and I'll always keep watching your videos. I am proud to be one of your fans.
It amazes me that shady can basically make a masterpiece in 30 minutes without hearing it but i take a a week with playbacks and still sounds like shit, keep it up shady!
I... was really surprised, actually, it sounded fricken awesome, especially the redone one
Totally had the vibes of "His World" and "My Sanctuary" this was really incredible! Keep it up #NotMegalovania
The Clime is almost eardentical to the one in His World so.
11:51 I mean, you can kinda hear the first four notes of Megalovania in this part right here.
He may not be able to hear but he can still vibe
I have no music knowledge but I still watch CUZ DEM VIDS SO GOOD!
(Y) Same
that was downright impressive shady i did not expect that to be as good as it was
This is actually sounding really good
Your videos never cease to amaze me and this is no exception! You are absolutely incredible at making music, even in restricted circumstances all of the songs end up being awesome
Omg your music style is so unique and noticable and it makes the experience better!
I uh... Whoa. Even the "wrong note" could have its place. Sometimes a discordant note just fits, gives it a weird point. I think it does in this case. Is like, the first couple of times you hear it,is like EW WTF but then it's like "well it actually fits better than it should wtf". I mean... you're amazing. The first vid of yours that I see, and I'm already your fan. I'm doing a videogame, actually doing music of it too, and holly fuck I'm far for this greatness.
... Shady.
I can't even make a song that good in two hours while also being able to actually hear the thing...
How
Seri220 ditto
the fact that you made a song without hearing that sounds 100x better than me making stuff normally is really embarrassing lmao
This may be my favorite song of yours you've done.
Thank you for making something so beautyful
PLEASE upload the redone version to iTunes!! It's amazing!!
The guitar is screaming a little bit too loud in the final version and is drowning out the piano, methinks. It sounds amazing, though.
I got some hardcore goosebumps listening to that revamped version jfc
i’m so dyslexic i though he was trying to remake the game of thrones theme so i was very confused throughout the whole thing
lmao
I was not expecting this to sound this good, considering you couldn’t hear what you were doing.
Bob Ross would say those were happy little mistakes on the wrong notes. As a musician, I'd just say they're chromatic approach notes added for effect. 😜
Your music is absolutely fantastic and inspiring. If I can't make something that inspires the kinds of feelings your music does, I don't want it.
This channel is so underrated.
The fact you were able to create that entire thing without even listening to what you were making is kinda insane and I love it! Even the first version was really good!
Im a game dev and I can’t even make music this good while listening to it
The "rushed" bridge actually sounds good as all heck- definitely better than anything I could ever make.
Sounds like something they'd pump in kingdom hearts. Sounds good!
I really liked both versions, actually... That wrong note was pretty good sounding where it was. It gave it a mysterious kind of vibe.
Wow, that was actually a really good song. Perhaps you should do more mute songs like this and who knows? You might make masterpeices!
This actually sounds incredible. That remade version literally sounds like a really good battle theme. I love it!
I heard some kingdom hearts in there, thumbs up from me
Where
Saame. Mad KH2 vibes, specifically.
I heard it too!!! Simple and Clean
Nery SHSL IDIOT the main melodic motif sounds incredibly similar to “hikari” from kingdom hearts
Making something without hearing it is pretty fkin rad. You're the best Shady!
Great song and challenge! One thing I would like to note though is I've noticed the "Bum, Bada-bum, Bada-bum" a lot in your songs and I know musicians have things that tie their songs together, like you listen to most A7X song you can tell its theirs or what album a Linkin park song is from just by the chords but still, it's really noticeable. Just food for thought not a criticism at all
Oh my world I am so impressed
I got goosebumps, even if there were a few wrong notes, it sounded so good.
And also the final result too, jeez, I am so impressed!!!
I liked this video without watching it
Same
Same. We all know its gonna be good
I liked this comment without reading it
Man, this is incredibly amazing! This sounds like Touhou *a lot!!* You're a very good composer!
What the hell, this song slaps super hard
You made one of my favorite songs ever in just 30 minutes.
*WHY ISN'T UNREALITY ON SPOTIFY AND OTHER STORES?!*
You should do something like this where it's the same but you don't know what any of the instruments are.
This is one of my favorites by far, man. Good to hear on loop all the time
Why is this so good? I really need to get better at guitar. Once again, great work as always.
Talent.....Pure talent.
Amazing job Shady!
"I'm actually gonna fecal matter this room"
...I'm absolutely speechless. I wasn't expecting it. I guess I should raise my expectations!
this gives off rock cover of kingdom hearts on youtube vibes
Dude this sounded amazing, wrong note at the piano and all. im incredibly impressed!
boss fight from anime.
this is what I hear.
I read your name as Shady Gaga when you showed the finished version oops haha. First time watching one of your videos, glad I bumped into you channel
*its not a wrong note...*
*ITS JAZZ*
Yet again, this sounds like something from the epic battle fantasy series, loving it!
The wrong notes on the piano sounds interesting, like a child playing who's still learning
You are an aboslute beast to still manage to pull something that sounds good off like this, :thumbsup:
Hey Shady, you probably won’t see this, but is there any chance that you’ll upload this in Spotify, iTunes, and all those other places? I absolutely love it but can only really listen to your songs through Spotify...
Honestly I've asked the same thing, and haven't gotten a response yet. Im sure he will eventually though
What about SoundCloud?
Sounds like music for a boss in a desert/beach kind of area in a game.
Wow..
So, you can make a song in just a few minutes
You can make a song without hearing it
What's next? Make a song without looking at the screen? ;)
I can image playing an up-down bit game in a cave or something, fighting some rock monsters with this in the background. Its so good, I love it.
