Coincidentally, I visited Santorini, Greece today, and jokingly my first thought when arriving on the island was, "Hey this is the place they based Windmill Isle/Apotos off of!" They actually based it off Mykonos, Greece, but the architecture and geography of the island was still very similar to the level! And then I had the Apotos theme stuck in my head all day. And of course I also had to get myself an ice cream cone just like Sonic and Chip did!

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

The original sketches and concept art look more like Mykonos, and it's labeled that way in the beta, but the actual level in the final product is a LOT closer to Santorini. It's likely something that changed during development, much like how some of the other, less specific internal names (like Africa, an entire continent) ended up getting more specific inspirations.

[@type.silver]

they need to go back to basing sonic games off real places

[@ShadicgunMan]

Been to both Santorini and Mykonos and it honestly felt like I was in Sonic Unleashed haha.

[@thatrandomredengine9430]

8:12 That timing of the C rank with the C cord 👌

[@fbi_weegee]

Man I lost it when you said "more importantly the futurama theme song" as if NWA isn't one of the most influential rap groups ever 😂

[@sephirovic1074]

But the Futurama theme song is another level of composition

[@yall_girl_eve]

The funny thing is that i aways see the music producers using futurama as a "surprising" example

[@ShowWithNoName]

This man sounds like a mechanic. Like this is the tone and cadence I would expect when hearing about my car. Not a dig, just an observation.

[@Loafoftime]

Oh my god somebody finally described it.

[@ShaimingLong]

To be fair, it's the same idea, trying to explain something fairly technical to people you hope will understand you, but probably won't.

[@cloudkitt]

The Generations Rooftop Run absolutely blew me away when I played it. I want that song to follow me around as I go about my day. It would make everyone around me happier.

[@BaritenorII]

I gotta say, finishing my freshman year of college as a music major and watching this video made my gears going when I paused the video in figuring out F is the tonic of Windmill Isle and realizing that the D chord is a V of ii.

[@AlexYardZone]

A secondary dominant delight indeed!

[@AlexYardZone]

With my comments on misnomers in music thoery curriculua, I'm not opposed to the idea overall of going to college for music, and I say more power to anyone if you know what you want to get from it and do. But for some people it gets difficult to recommend that path, and it breaks my heart to hear from so many people who tried to take music classes but failed and quit, banging their head against the wall. Anyway, the wording in the video was provocative, but just wanted to mention that, and sincerely give you props for completing your first year of music major! Keep it up and I am thrilled you put together what was happening with the V of ii, I like to present things that way to promote those kinds of aha moments, which is why I withheld the Roman numerals except at Angel Island.

[@dis_light3615]

rank C appearing at 8:13 when talk about the C cord is such a cherry on top ! GRAAAH i love your editing

[@sweetrocks610]

Sonic unleashed music theory? WWWWW

[@the.bloodless.one1312]

1:39 for anyone who cares about the nerdy history of that style of drum beat, it’s called a breakbeat. Comes from 60s funk drum breaks where the drummer would just play alone, and due to that was very easy to sample by hip hop, jungle and drum n bass artists, etc. The most famous breakbeat sample being the Amen break, sampled from the tune Amen, Brother by The Winstons. Edit: oh he mentions it later in the vid. Sick. I’m at ham 😅💀

[@JustJohn43]

Thanks for confirming Ohtani composed Hang Castle. It really does feel like a Werehog composition listening to it now, especially when the upside down version plays. Also... Planting call forwards huh?

[@mvnkycheez]

And it's an absolute massive banger

[@thehermit8618]

I feel the reason Rooftop Run sounds so sure of itself in comparison to Windmill Hill, is because by the time you make it to Spagonia, Sonic already did several Day and Night stages in Apotos so he already got over the shock of being a Werehog and has a somewhat rough outline of what he has to do to get back to normal and mend the world. Its triumphant in the way that it seems to say "even with all of this going down, you still got it Sonic". Its sure of itself because Sonic is sure of himself and knows what he has to do.

[@TheAlphazoneYT]

LET’S GOOO! WE FINALLY GOT SONIC UNLEASHED MUSIC THEORY🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️🗣️

[@TheKingSamuraiX]

The music in this game is so cinematic and beautiful! What a great entry for the savior of the Sonic Franchise after 06, it was really their last chance and the dedication to get it right shows, and I also have nostalgia for the PS2/Wii version :D

[@Josbird]

The unleashed soundtrack is unreal, the jazz influence on the werehog tracks is amazing and the instrumentation in the arrangements is just beautiful. They really nailed the global sound

[@someobscuremusicchannel]

You can also find the amen break beat in so many Sonic songs. Angel Island Zone Act 2, Crisis City, Chemical Flow, Ocean Base Act 1, the list goes on and on throughout every generation. Not to mention just the rhythm in general without even having the drum beat. Chemical Plant Zone fits perfectly with it for example.

[@STHking15]

i know nothing about music theory. but i come here to watch anyway XD

[@Fafr]

This is fast to the point it can even actually be used in rhythm games

[@legoboy7107]

I love how you directly singled out that "violins" joke comment from that Sonic Generations Rooftop Run video. That's a classic little comment I've seen under that video multiple times, was not expecting someone to directly reference it in a video ever lol.

[@marianomartin3365]

Dude, After watching this, I feel I can sit down and try to write a hundred words eloquent comment that springs into some interesting music theory discussion, propelled by the many things that the increasing richness of your videos leaves me at thought. But i still need to rewatch this video with the piano nearby to play along a thousand times in order to get all the ideas, references, easter eggs, and editing wonders. For now, i can just write a big congratulations on the quality you have achieved. S rank for sure. See you in the next stream Jardín 🏡

[@aleksavasic2612]

Great video. The analysis of the drums is top notch. Love that iii - vi (VI) - ii - V(7b9) chord progression when it loops and delays the I chord. I even used the Sonic 3 version in the 1st track of my 24th album... Anyway, keep it up. This is now a bit more than 2 years of me watching your videos actively, something most other KZbinrs don't get from me!

[@lexruptor]

Still waiting for Sonic 2 music breakdowns, like a breakdown of Chemical Plant Zone, or the Sonic 2 version of Metropolis Zone.

[@frankcastillo4363]

As someone who doesn't know much about music composition, I really enjoyed learning about these songs from a franchise I love. Great video!

[@CosiAbyss]

I would love to see a sonic unleashed music series!

[@abyssvoyeur]

A lot of the components in this song weren't composed for Sonic. I believe a lot os old samples from a Sega sound library. There is a track on Ollie King that implements the same ones, was a head trip when I first heard it

[@TurbhoeHDRemix]

I always knew there was a reason why sonic music was so good to drive on the highway too

[@orifrazier]

the format and script of the video as well as the editing and the topic in question, sonic, all spectacular

[@StarPunch]

this is really neat seeing these songs broken down from a mechanical standpoint! i tend to think of music more in term of genre... windmill isle's music is based on bossa nova, which is a jazzy genre that often uses ambiguous chords and avoids clear resolution. whereas rooftop run is a pure rock song so naturally it uses chords that are much clearer and more confident! to me the genres fit both the setting as well as the feeling you get within the game. bossa nova often gives off a relaxing and tropical vibe, since apotos is an island town, and adding in a breakbeat feels like you're speeding through what's otherwise a quiet and relaxing place. meanwhile the hard rock vibe of spagonia's music combined with a string ensemble makes me think of the kind of baroque pop and rock you'd hear coming out of the UK in the 60s and 70s! it's interesting to see that you could get similar vibes just by looking at how the notes and chords function purely by themselves

[@Avriel_Mimiga]

"acclimating this game's blistering speeds as the new normal" he says as sonic wall runs on air

[@yell0]

Amazing video! You always bring a very refreshing and insightful time with your videos :) I would like to note a small thing regarding amen breaks, since there's a common misconception that kinda puts all Drum n' Bass breaks together by the name of "Amen break". But the truth is that there are LOTS of different breaks sampled from different songs (like the very famous Think Loop that Super Monkey Ball or Ridge Racer Series use a lot) or even created by scratch. I don't exactly remember it now, but I know I found the Sonic Heroes drum loop in a Zero-G Sample CD from the 90's hahahahaha!

[@Loafoftime]

This came totally out of left field. I wouldn't have guessed you would analyze unleashed if i got a dozen guesses, but here we are. I love these videos. They're informational, entertaining, and easy to understand thanks to the familiarity i have with the games. I only have one queston: what's a secondary dominant? I keep hearing that term and i've never heard it defined before.

[@FanaticChain]

Sonic unleashed OST Alex Yard video?! I can’t believe it

[@RascalMusic-we6gl]

i feel called out with the tuition comment 😅 Great breakdown as always btw :)

[@AlexYardZone]

Yeah, sorry lol, I held higher ed to the grill, But only because it needs to get its act together before I can genuinely recommend that academic plan to aspiring composers. I am all for a four year liberal arts education , including in music, but not if it means being indoctrinated with such inefficient contradictory vocabulary definitions.

[@RascalMusic-we6gl]

@@AlexYardZone Yeahh that I can agree with. Music education in it's current state, especially the beginning classes, is really fast paced but also confusing to the point where meeting with the professor post-class is almost required and encouraged by the professors themselves. I barely started grasping Chromatic theory by the time I was taking Theory 3, and then spent the rest of theory 3 trying to get it down to a good anchored understanding, only for Theory 4 to pull the rug out from under me with entire new systems and conflicting vocab (Although oddly enough i found theory 4 less difficult than 3). It wasn't fun going into atonal theory and the prof trying to teach matricies using intervals when a couple days before he said to not think of atonal in traditional theory terms and to try to learn 12 tone. I understand matricies can flow very easily if you can just ring up the intervals in your head immediately but pushing intervals back in the brain after taking the time to not be so confused with 12 tone and the unique patterns atonal scales usually used was harsh for me haha. There was also times where my prof would say "i'm trying something different" or "I should've probably taught you all x before x to reduce confusion". It's a messed up mix of vocab that overlaps one another as you get higher in theory classes due to how rapidly composing evolved from classical and you'll sometimes even get teachers who despise what they're teaching and thus inefficiently teach all because they dislike one era or the other. From what I've heard, music education has been funded less and less which is really saddening, some elementary schools are even beginning to call it "not necessary" and discarding it altogether or barely funding it, which could cause a stark dropoff when it comes to interest in composing/playing in the next generation.
