i never knew that beard was a self portrait of el huervo
Yep, blew my mind too!
Legend says they became best friends
The best music of the current games
When you have something that looks like 8 bits, I'm really happy
Guys you are crazy!
Construction 3D awesome dude, I’m glad you’re feeling it!
The real question is where is hotline Miami 3.....Butt dialed
HM3: New Phone, Who Dis?
Love the interview. I had absolutely no idea that even the masters feel "under the weather" sometimes
Delighted! And thanks for putting forward your question for it too. I definitely wouldn’t count myself as a master, so I have to assume you’re talking about El Huervo there, but yeah - I don’t think that stuff ever changes for anyone. Except maybe Prince.
Wow, a real interview with El Huervo! Topics are so relatable! Thank you very much! Gonna comment more when I watch it till the end :)
Kevin Cooper that’s awesome leaving - I’d love to hear what you think. New interview with LAU comes out today at 14:00GMT!
I remember to watch that interview till the end, but I've got too much work to do. Added to the top of the list "Watch".
Kevin Cooper Rock! If you manage to get through it, the next expose with LAU is up now. Both are on Spotify etc too!
HOW DID I MISSED THIS!?
G_Boy share it if you love it!
Loved the interview! I'm finishing my arts college career and I felt the things you talked in this interview. Love to see the people who worked on my favorite game still there! Keep up the awesome work guys! Best wishes from Spain! :D
Antón Iglesias Muchas gracias for your comment Antón. I’m really glad it hit home for you! If you dig it, please subscribe on Spotify etc for the next one!
Niklas definitely was a great choice for the beginning of this podcast. Looking forward for more episodes! 👍🏾
Depressive Tangela awesome, thank you for the encouragement!
Hey, I noticed that there’s really only Hotline content on your channel, and I just wanted to let you know that if you’re feeling burnt out, it’s fine to take a break or move onto a different game. I know that you’re probably fine as is, but still. Love your music, and thanks for your contribution to the game.
Летов жив!
This was a really well done interview Benny, the flow was great, you two seem to naturally get along and had some awesome discussions; I really liked hearing about the creative difficulties as it made me think about my own processes. This was a really insightful interview with two of my musicians from one of my favorite series; thank you for this!
That’s awesome Steven, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the taking the time to say hi as well!
damn i didnt know that el huervo is beard even in real life
Imm yep, it was news to me too. Pretty rad
@@BennySmilesMusic anyway, how's the course going? and more importantly how are YOU doing?
I’m doing good thanks Imm! There’s no course as such yet - that’s probably still a ways off, but I’m doing track feedback for individuals through Patreon which has been pretty fun. How are you doing?
@@BennySmilesMusic feeling pretty shit lately. Im not getting out of my house, and ive been so overhelmed by school stuff and some other courses i'm currently doing, that i dont really know what to do. I got a language course that was pretty expensive, but i dont have the wits to go through it since it isnt supervised by my teacher(it's on hotmart). But im not giving up just yet, im gonna achieve my dream sooner or later. I'm certain of it.
Anyways, have a great weekend(it's weekend here), and stay safe pls.
Im waiting for more songs of yours to come :)
Shit Imm, I’m sorry to hear that. Keep the chin up, try and get some exercise and routine in (always helps me), and keep moving forward! New songs are on the horizon - can’t wait to get them out!
the master himself. great interview.. nice to put a face (and a voice) to el huervo. next get him on discord vc that would be amazing.
Ha! Yeah man, pretty cool to see the dude in real (zoom) life. It’d be cool to get a chat going, but I don’t want to hassle anyone, you dig?
OHMYGOD BEARD IN REAL LIFE?
this doesnt even have 500 views????? thats a huge sin on youtube's part... This deserves so much more attention.
TwentTii you’re damn right! Someone write an angry letter!
Benny smiles I love your music o that level
You two are awesone, keep up the good work 👍.
Snow Brad thank you Snow Brad! Are you a standard Brad, but equipped with chains or spikes to help you traverse icy conditions?
@@BennySmilesMusic pretty much.
Functional. That’s good.
it’s interesting seeing benny talk about how he’s much less professional than hurevo and the first thing i hear is them talk about 50s shirts for 4 minutes lol
WTF BEARD IN REAL LIFE
Wow two of my favorite musicians in one video
Ha! Thanks Noel. Glad you’re digging it
@@BennySmilesMusic bro I loved playing your mission
Thank you for this interview. Me and my friends greatly enjoy your and Beard songs. Hotline Miami theme is probably one of my favourite music tracks from OST along with El Huervo's Rust and Daisuke.
Спасибо!
Hey dude, that’s amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to say hello.
I’m really enjoying this interview. The discussions about struggles with the creative process has been really reassuring. I’ve also gotten a lot from your track breakdowns. Thanks for the awesome content!
Hey thanks Gregory, that’s awesome - I’m really glad you’re enjoying it! From listening to a lot of interviews myself, it seems like that sort of stuff never really goes away for anyone. So... just strap in for the lifetime of suffering!
Glad the breakdowns are useful too! Thanks for dropping by
Benny, no need to find out who is better, You re both cool
Learning Unity for Game Design rn. Felt amazing to hear about it in this interview :)
Keep up the good work!
Thank you, and good luck on your quest for knowledge!
after a couple of years I'm glad you keep uploading content
Thanks Patty McWaffles, is that is your real name
