HELLO

[@SPLENDIDZEN]

[@dougc84]

as one math guitarist to another, i'm gonna need to know where to get that hat, andrew. also, that would've totally been a tigran hamasyan cover had you all added some weird time signatures.

[@samus88]

You guys basically made jazz/avant-garde/prog rock from obscure 70s bands.

[@RegebroRepairs]

But better.

[@jmm5994]

Learned recently the new Blood Incantation album was named after a 70s prog rock band Absolute Elsewhere. Their track Relax absolutely RIPS

[@spelunkymonke]

"I've been called erratic before" "I've been called an arpeggio" I love the house band so much😂❤️

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

I actually prefer the idea of them not talking, like they're aliens who've been abducted and have no idea what's actually going on.

[@AdvocateofRuin]

This is my favorite song from Sonic Boom to date

[@rapchee]

i keep saying that every time they release something lol

[@croopercrat]

Legit, reminds me of the band Battles for some reason

[@IBANEZ1284]

Same here

[@CharlesCrawfordIV]

Hard agree

[@Nicole-pt4bx]

normally i don't think the songs are as fun to hear without also watching the episode, but this one i've put in a bunch of playlists

[@ItsMeNeatNeet]

Now I want an action game with an entire soundtrack that's just like this.

[@bigfarmuh]

It’s called The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[@Sethlovegrove]

@@bigfarmuh I was thinking it sounded like botw lol

[@samuraiowlmusic]

@@Sethlovegrove 100% lol

[@fsendventd]

@@bigfarmuh it also kind of reminds me of some more modern Sonic games tbh

[@jeremiahcowling3837]

Much erratic, much arpeggio, much prog, very wow

[@martellackerman3434]

NEVER fire the house band

[@Codebreakerblue]

I don't know if they're technically employees Have they been paid yet?

[@Varpie]

Never free them from the basement either

[@csongorkakuk5871]

What the absolute F, during the whole video I was like "I'm not sure how this is all going to work out when mixed together" and then it SLAPPED like hell. You guys still surprise me with every new idea!

[@GigglebunsUV]

YEAH it was definitely a trust the process kind of situation the whole time

[@jayfeser5259]

This is awesome. Also your mix engineer is brilliant.

[@Im_IndiE]

The drumming at the end is on point, that was the grooviest drum part ive heard in a long time.

[@dantelaw7759]

The beauty of this series is that we get to hear songs that would have NEVER been made otherwise. I love Sonic Boom!!

[@jacobtallen]

the dual drum beat at the end is genius and i will be stealing that idea in the future

[@brodskipod]

This was unironically your best song yet! Sounds like a collaboration between Enya, Penguin Caffe Orchestra and Captain Beefhart

[@OwenToms-og6bm]

ANOTHER PERSON WHO KNOWS PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA

[@BakerPeter]

Surely you mean GoGo Penguin? 😉

[@JamieR]

Jacob Collier would be proud. Also, that piano arp sounds so much like Zelda BOTW combat music, lol.

[@igeeitglob3741]

THAT'S WHAT IT IS! Thank you!

[@bradseeker]

speaking of, anyone have recommendations for other songs/artists with that botw/totk feel? i don't have a history with that kinda music so i'm probably missing some obvious ones

[@Sean-Ax]

​@@bradseeker Off the top of my head, impressionist composers like Debussy. I'm not well versed in all of that, but I know that that was an inspiration for that soundtrack. It may not be exactly-exactly like BotW, but it's a lead.

[@integtranquil]

@@bradseeker You might want to give a listen to The Köln Concert by Keith Jarett. It's more busy than the botw ost but I think you'll like it. Going down the minimalist music route there's also Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians which is again different, but the Underground and to a lesser extent fight music remind me of it. Hope this helps :)

[@Kniightisa]

Couldn't unhear it, but not upset

[@eyeofthebeholder_]

Legit would bump a whole album of this.

[@Sanity016]

goes to show how much work goes into the production. the after-recording assembly and processing and everything really made the pieces come together. it sounds transcendent and strangely spiritual.

[@BeTheAeroplane]

Wow, switching between both drum takes sounds so cool!

[@TheBlueMeanie101]

This is my favourite Radiohead song.

[@Joe-nb3fs]

We'd definitely want a walking bass line ala "How to Disappear Completely"

[@mistergreencheese2012]

The most insane thing in this video is how fast Andrew does the “mamamamamamamamamas” @ 8:51

It's giving me, if Beach Boys and King Crimson played for Dream Theater

[@CodiMorphett]

This is very Mouse on the Keys, especially the piano and drums remind me of their song Leviathan. For anyone interested they're a Japanese post-rock/jazz band - easy to search for!

[@TuckRob]

Thank you so much for that. Just checking them out and they're incredible.

[@davidwave4]

Mouse on the keys, 3nd, and a little österreich, for sure

[@michaelerickson7364]

Looked up that song, wasn’t disappointed.

[@Seapatico]

Ooh! Just searched them on apple music and they are great! Thank you for the rec!

[@junis_am6125]

Yes! And also the band Elephant Gym from Taiwan. This video reminded me of a song by them called Half

[@ChristopherBuecheler]

Rob and Andrew accidentally recreate experimental jazz ...

[@bobdole4916]

Definitely experimental jazz, with maybe a dash of fusion jazz.

[@sethcameron5963]

as a mathrock guy this is scratchin that itch pretty good

[@zeebledeep540]

Probably one of my favourite Sonic Boom creations so far! Awesome work! Luv it 🤘

[@Dreamsenshi]

Legend of Zelda combat vibes a tiny bit with some of the runs. Love it.

[@Kregrr]

You guys nailed the erratic, but it's the drum track that brings this all together. Amazing!

[@RobertTamaskovics]

Well, it went right to my playlist. As it turnes out, most of my favourite songs are erratic. I did not know this word until now. Thanx.

[@BenTOGM]

This is up there with my favourite Sonic Boom tracks - came together surprisingly well. Fantastic video editing too!

[@bigfarmuh]

Andrew is wearing a hat with literally just FACGCE on it lol I love that

[@drangal]

Okay, this is instantly one of my favorite prog tunes. 🔥 Short but oh so vibey, offbeat and ... erratic. ...And arpeggiated.

[@tru7hhimself]

the best thing you guys have made in a long time. the only problem is that it doesn't sound like a complete song, rather like a (Part I) of a 15-20 min jazzy prog epic. those drums aren't an outro, they're the transition to the fast-paced rhytm-focused part 2 of 5.

[@becauseisaac]

That was a spiritual experience.

[@bentaylor4705]

Things i loved in this video: 1) the SONG!! One of my favorites actually, never expected something like this from a Sonic Boom ep, but so many cool ideas in one song! 2) F A C G C E hat 3) "my heart will go on" played on the slide whistle 😂😂

[@ares395]

Duuude, those deep, dark Harpejji sounds Rob pulled off at 2:35 sounds sooo good. Just the type that tickles my brain the right way. Makes me wish I could learn that instrument just for that. But one look at the price makes these ideas disappear haha

[@RobTFilms]

I've been liking the 'Sonic Boom' output a lot more than the First of October stuff in recent years, every song feels cool and fresh here!!!

[@_oscillation]

Ok this just blew me away! You know it comes from a special place when it looks "easy". Plus every time I watch a video of you guys I'm moved by your connection/friendship and love for music that it's literally eye watering, thanks for sharing that love with us❤

[@happygolucky2231]

it was wonderful to see and hear you heading out into more unfamiliar waters. it seems to me you almost always achieve a flow state when creating a sonic boom episode and this time there was no holding back or self censoring at all. be brave and keep it up 😊

[@CIDSMusic]

We got baby Rob and Andrew before GTA 6 lol

[@nathancook1785]

We got "We got baby Rob and Andrew before GTA 6" before we got Halflife 3

I checked your channels multiple times after I saw the songs pop up on Spotify. Glad to wake up to two videos to watch!

[@JericoJocson]

This is so cerebral yet so primal at the same time. Very unique. Awesome work guys

[@nooperspism]

Kudos to the editor keeping track of all the visual parts to go with the final song

[@balaenopteramusculus]

I have a massive weak spot for more experimental music so this was definitely up my alley. Loved it!

[@BurkhardtGaming]

If this does anything this should make you and rob both realize your potential. you were able to piece together chaos in an hour and a half and it sounds so incredibly cohesive. Awesome song!

[@BrianGreenGoogle]

At the risk of ruining the magic, I think it would be cool to see this get edited and mixed.

[@BeamTheChao]

Before the theme/vocals were decided on, I got HUGE Lark's Tounges in Aspic pt I by King Crimson vibes, especially with the instrument trade-offs. Amazing work guys!!!

[@ryan7032]

Rob and Andrew unhinged music? Foreign concept.

[@ScratchdHelp]

i love this song but honestly i could've gone without the vocals, i still thin the instrumental is fucking amazing, great work! i always get excited when another sonic boom comes out lmao

Shout out to your producer, he made everything gel together beautifully!

[@davidsteinhour5562]

OMG, the editing was on another level for this video. You guys are legendary! And the song is amazing!

[@FizzyK-45]

The song sounds like if you mix Breath of the WIld/Tears of the Kingdom music with the Prog Rock/Metal genre, amazing. 😂

[@clipPRmusic]

Precisely my thoughts!

[@Danglecaraco]

They should sue the Costco guys for stealing their boom

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I'm glad you went with vocal sounds without words. tbh there's been quite a few songs where you've made the music and it gives me a feeling then when you add lyrics it's like you've overwritten what the feeling was with how i'm told to feel. There's also just the trickiness that earlier on I'll see a different potential than you'll see, inevitably different. This was one of my favorites.

[@kurashi_]

This song rocks! You guys did great with the fretless bass song as well! Please keep it up. I love how much fun you two have creating music.

[@anti_honey]

The song is so... Refreshingly inspirational!!!! Incredible work as always!!

[@Danglecaraco]

I think if there were no vocals I could actually enjoy this song

[@The0Stroy]

Makes me think of "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Simmilar erratic vibe.

[@distor_sean711]

Favorite Sonic Boom song ever!!! So rad! Loved the trying not to crack up looking at each other going ha ma ha da.🤣🤣🤣

[@HerrJJr]

We're just witnessing two good musicians in top shape creating a banger song from scratch for basically free. This is good.

[@jmorgan8917]

So this is how Gentle Giant made their songs 🤔

[@FugaceFugite]

That was really cool 🤩somehow it gives me Scavengers Reign vibes of something very surreal and otherworldly, I think all the little sounds create an atmosphere, kind of like if this was recorded in a forest with animals passing around, making their sound.

[@bradseeker]

andrew, slide whistle dangling from his mouth like humphrey bogart: "this episode is fked"

[@carpetcarpet1]

Song generator themes: odd time signature, passionate, melancholic, bittersweet, mysterious, optimistic

[@ckannan90]

Love the new house band lore. My theory is that house band Rob is also ancient, and when he says the early 90s he means the EARLY 90s. These two were already in this spot in space; House Rob initially floating in the cosmic Guitar Center (the energy center from which all guitar music originates) before moving out to the Drum Center when House Andrew moved in. At some point, the studio was built around them.

[@JohnnyStauf]

You know, I didn't really see this one coming together until the end. Fabulous job you two!

That was so unique! I could tell you were a bit apprehensive about the direction but honestly, music is creative. You guys nailed a tough concept.

[@finalkill1989]

They made a new Tetris connected song. very fun track i could see the section changes and the frantic speeds as it got harder and faster before settling back down. amazing work!

[@FugaceFugite]

How about using the song generator twice : once at the beginning to start making a song with, then a second time after 45 minutes for example to make the rest of the song with ? Could even be wilder by leaving holes to fill with the second theme, say you play the end of a solo with the first theme then you try to complete it and make it coherent somehow.

[@RowanSmith-p4y]

Song idea: a Christmas song but you actually hate Christmas and pecan pie
