@@KTK44 With this, I agree. Speaking of Cliff Martinez...I'm really digging "Too Old to Die Young" right now. 2/3 finished, but so far...pretty neato music.
I kinda get mad when my little nephews always want to skip the intro after they've heard it enough times. I'm like, "C'mon man, you can't skip the intro, it's part of the show!" Lol. To each their own I guess.
Are you even a real fan if u skip the intro ?? Like mann I’ve never EVER skipped the intro and just last night my mom FINALLY started watching stranger things and she tried to skip the intro 😱
These guys are legends. Kids, Castle Byers, Lay-Z-Boy, Eleven, Friendship, The First I Love You, Eight Fifteen, Eulogy, and so many more... are unreal. They took the show to a whole new level each season.
Without the music, Stranger Things just wouldn't be what it is to everyone who loves the show. The music is what brings the emotion out of the scene and shoves it into the minds of the viewers. It has such an impact on storytelling and how the atmosphere of each and every intricate sequence is conveyed. I literally love it, and believe that in a way music and sound design is the real basis for greatness in all film media. I mean seriously, look at films scored by Hans Zimmer and tell me they aren't the most intense and stimulating shows of emotion and atmosphere ever.
The song "Kids" is one of my favourite tracks on a soundtrack ever. I discovered about halfway through the first season that I was more invested in the show because I might get to hear that song again than for anything happening on screen.
As someone who grew up in the 80s. There is a scene where the kids are cycling over a hill at night. Their bike lamps cutting through the dust and the background music was so spot on 1980s horror, that I almost burst into tears of joy. Stranger Things is a masterpiece of nostalgia. Thank you.
The first time I heard the soundtrack I knew I was gonna be fan of the series. For me 50% of Stranger Things success is cause of the sound but not many people realize that.
bartni yes but perhaps not entirely All based in the US ;) but actually Yes, all around the world. These synths and timbers are not new by any stretch of the modern imagination. they are rather seeing a revival and i think its a great thing. but for my taste i wish the modern “retro” sound would KEEP the emotional dynamics of the original vibe and not crush everything together for the sake of constant loudness.
It took me 5 YEARS to discover that this video exist?? Glad I'm finally here. These two are absolute geniuses and the Stranger Things soundtrack is absolutely one of the greatest soundtracks in history. And definitely my favorite one.
without these guys the stranger things series wouldn't have been nearly as successful their scores are so unique and you can really feel the emotions that they want to you to feel. Great job guys!
The Eleven Theme talked about at 3:10 and the start of the credits in S2E8 at 3:45 was one of the most intense moments in Stranger Things. The entire soundtrack is so perfect. I never skip the intro or credits, cause the music is like sucking you deep into the emotions that have just been transferred visually. So good! I never watched Stranger Things, till I heard the soundtrack and just absorbed the 2 seasons in a couple of days.
Same! Although I’d always loved the title sequence song, I didn’t think I’d really be into the show so I just never gave it a chance. But after hearing Kids in a TikTok or something, that was enough to make me wanna give it a shot, and I flew through all 4 seasons in about 4-5 days 🤣 and now I’m bummed I have to wait another 2 years or so for the series finale.
@@JHANKSMEDIA A friend of mine had watched it. I thought, Ill give it a whirl. Then 4 days past and hubby and I had binged the first three seasons. My kids thought I was silly, but then they gave it a chance and got hooked. There is nothing like 80s music! ST will be a cult film for years to come.
Their music gives so much more to the scenes, when Eleven is hiding under that tree in the woods, when Hopper gets in the tunnels for the first time or when Eleven returns it makes it so iconic
They guys are so down to earth. You can really tell they're just two super good friends who legitimately love working together and making awesome music haha.
The music is honestly my favorite part of Stranger Things. It really makes the show, and I can't imagine what it would be like with a different score. These guys are true artists.
These guys are seriously soooooooo underappreciated, and that setup??? Omg... I just finally went back to college to finish getting my degree in this stuff, electronic music, music production and recording arts, and to actually know how intense and immaculate their rigs are and how creating film scores works... my hats off to these two. I hope someday to do something just like this for a big production. So sick.
Eulogy, and Lazyboy are my faves, and Lazyboy actually sounds somewhat like the song the aliens play at the end of Close encounters of the Third Kind. Makes me love it even more.
The soundtrack for Stranger Things is without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful music I have ever heard. I've always been a soundtrack nerd, and what these guys have created is definitely one of my favorites ever. It's pretty cool to hear how they created all this amazing music.
Eduardo Hostert i never want to forget that song, and it makes me sad because i know i’ll forget it eventually and i will one time hear it for the last time without even knowing. it’s so beautiful. cry every time.
These lads were liquid in the era these instruments were used. That's why I admire them even more. I've been synthmaniac all my life and could never do the job like you guys. Thanks for being an inspiration.
I know what he ment, but I got a little kick out of him saying "It wasn't an arpeggio, it was played by hand." Being played by hand doesn't change that it's an arp lol. But I know what he's getting at. I deffo thought it was arp'd by the machine, it's really on point. I wish my studio looked like theirs, I would kill for some analog gear.
I'm not really into sci-fi , but the thing that got me hooked was the use of music and visuals.. Couldn't stop watching after the intro. Great job dudes..
I love the soundtrack to Stranger Things, the score really sets the mood and honestly I could probably listen to it on a regular basis. I feel so many emotions just listing to the music its amazing.
The First I Love You, Eulogy, Kids and The Upside Down are easily my favourites, the music in Stranger Things is absolutely amazing, when I’m older and I’m feeling the ST nostalgia, these songs will play in my head
Stranger Things intro is so good I just love how the letters go together and how the music is and how a number appears like without the intro it wouldn’t be good.
The upside-down song is one of my favorite tracks in the show, it's so eerie. I remember having chills seeing that scene. Stranger Things overall is an amazing combination of great writing, perfect casting and amazing music that ties it all in. Can't wait for the new season next summer, doesn't feel like a Halloween season without a new season of Stranger Things though :(
The main melody of the demogoron theme is approximately, use_bpm 80 play_pattern_timed( [hz_to_midi(131), hz_to_midi(130), hz_to_midi(152), hz_to_midi(134), hz_to_midi(131), hz_to_midi(131), hz_to_midi(134), hz_to_midi(166)], [1,1,1,1,1,1,1])
I could hear the intro for HOURS.
Sounds a lot like Wanna Fight by Cliff Martinez. They kind of ripped it off I'd go as far as to say. But who cares. It's all good.

100% agree with this!
Thomas Gibbs so true i sometimes think of being a music composer.
scared face I've never considered composing but I have considered Foley and sound effects
Thomas Gibbs yeah edit: what is foley?
John Williams is the ultimate example. He was as important to those films as Spielberg or Lucas or Harrison Ford, and they know it and acknowledge it.
*the music makes the show so fantastic job!*
Holly Hodges Agreed
to be honest, without the music and the vintage graphic package, the show would be just for kids...
Reaaaly does
unfortunately, kids these days don't know how to punctuate. but, i assume:
'the music makes the show, so, fantastic job!'
Holly Hodges I knooooww
The song "Kids" is one of my favourite tracks on a soundtrack ever. I discovered about halfway through the first season that I was more invested in the show because I might get to hear that song again than for anything happening on screen.
it does, the songs called kids 2 lol
My favourite track they did was “Castle Byers” beautiful
SAME! Delighted when Kids 2 showed up!
Tom Morgan KIDS OMG also kids2 is good

The soundtrack is what makes Stranger things stranger things. The best in television now at least. Makes the mood so creepy and cool and epic.
Oline Exactly! It really drives the 80’s vibes when the music is synth based and electronic. Big part of the 80’s
Same but with season 4
80s music was phenomenal... And these guys did a great job creating that 1980s thriller ambient atmosphere.
Sonia Khatri true
the only thing missing is the electric guitar. 80s music had that
XxxMetalheadHippiexxX not all of it.
it sounds very 80s, but was there any music like this at that time?
bartni yes but perhaps not entirely All based in the US ;) but actually Yes, all around the world.

The soundtrack is just perfect.
Excuse me while I drool over this room of like $200,000 worth of classic analog synths. Big Moog fans apparently
i think that big modular is other MU stuff so probably a comparably more affordable 20k or so :-)
Andrew Nibbi and Roland. But especially Moog, yes
And that sweeet ARP 2600 in the background. Drool! 🙂
Synthesizers.com and MOTM
It might be worth 200k now, but when all that stuff was new back in the 80s, probably over a million.
It took me 5 YEARS to discover that this video exist??
Glad I'm finally here. These two are absolute geniuses and the Stranger Things soundtrack is absolutely one of the greatest soundtracks in history. And definitely my favorite one.
These guys are geniuses. Their soundtracks take me right back to the 80s. ST imho is one of the best scored shows of all time. Sensational.
Mr. Nobody facts
Nope just copy cats, Phillip glass ensemble- vessels.
Not geniuses but they recreated 80s vibe outstandingly good. We should hear more of their music

Tyler Lizotte but his mom does...

But like 100 times over in the chain that analog signal become digital. Once it becomes digital once can you say it's analog after that?

Or watch Tron 2.
"Lazy-Z-Boy", "Biking to School" and "A Kiss" Soundtrack are one of my favorites you guys made.
Soldiers is probably my favorite track.

The synth that makes the main arp is an Oberheim Two Voice.

These guys are pro. They captured a very early 80's UK Analog sound that I grew up with.
The First Lie, Kids 2 and First Kiss are probably my favourites
Film Stuff Especially "A kiss"
So inspired by these guys, their music and their story. Love that show.
The intro, Eulogy, Kids are AMAZING soundtracks. Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein have made such a good job, Stranger Things' score is really something.
"The first lie" and The first I love you" are also amazing
Analog baby yeah!
For me, Probably one of the biggest factor why I am very attached with Stranger Things it is because of the musics/sounds behind of it. 👏👏👏 Bravo! 💖
Eulogy, and Lazyboy are my faves, and Lazyboy actually sounds somewhat like the song the aliens play at the end of Close encounters of the Third Kind. Makes me love it even more.
Really cool interview, the way the editor fit in little clips of music every time they referenced something was great!
yess that “she’ll kill you” and “soldiers” song, the one that gets reused alot is 100% the best one/s

I love stranger things..I click on anything with stranger things
Every time I hear the intro, I always feel a very nostalgic and deep feeling in my chest. The song really touches my heart

i really love eulogy too

"I'm Kyle Dixon. And I'm Micheal Stein."
aka two geniuses
Stranger Things wouldn't have been even half as popular as it is without these 2 guys.
The music is great. It adds so much to the vibe. Definitely reminiscent of John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, Wendy Carlos and Goblin.
The song "Upside down" Always gave me the chills when I watched the first season. Especially when Eleven tried to explain where will was.
who else is clicking all the videos with "stranger things" in the title until season 3 comes out
russ glover oh my gosh me
Ya...wow....i thought i was the only one doing it
russ glover me!
✋✋✋✋
russ glover omg I thought I was the only one, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
These people completely changed my perception of synthesisers, I discovered a whole sub-world of music and found appreciation for it. So thankful.
I like how they referenced Tangerine Dream's scores in the 1983 move "The Keep", a very under rated movie.
The music has a different type of vibe. I can't explain it. It's so unique and nostalgic. Ahhh I just love it so much.
Amazing and very quality interview

“Kids” just captures such powerful feelings. I could never thank these guys enough
Do do do dooo doo doo
loser with a cell phone Studios & Knuckles thanks for thr lyrics 😂
So mass effect
Thank you for these inspirational lyrics 😂
These two are very big reason of Stranger Things success
You can definitely hear Aphex Twin & Autechre in their influences. Love love love that!!!!! Also BTILC is one of the best films of all time. ♥
And a lot of Cliff Martinez. Some of it seems like almost a rip off of Martinez scoring sound. Not a bad thing, but still.
The upside down music came on in my house recently while listening to my alexa.... i am obsessed
Stranger Things is so nostalgic even though it's happening now.
literally
"The Return" is such an amazing piece of music
they’re geniuses
babyhols666 the plural of genius is genii
babyhols666 really??
their sound design skills are on another level
They used a preset in the Dave smith Ob-1 and built on it. The sequence they used was written by whomever originally designed the patch
Just before I saw this I was listening to a stranger things score playlist 😂🔥
i can also feel some tangerine dream on their sound

2030games “it’s not an arpeggio”
how to sound like an idiot in the comment section because you did not watch the video 101
