Arknights Composer Breaks Down His Own Songs

[@gomore9805]

Omg, it's Adam "one of the other guys" Gubman

[@munochiv3931]

it's actually sounds cool, Adam Ootog Gubman

[@Zihark92]

I like that he's getting confused as well. Arknights CN has 335 playable characters now, so it's hard to remamber how they relate to each other.

[@zoexu1098]

Except for broken sun is not a character EP. Guy really confused me at the moment. Guess we now know BGMs and EPs are not making such a hug difference in composers' brains😂

[@AAAAnca]

Saw the song list in description. I am once again saddened that the IS shop themes were unnoticed... But hey, Terra Investment Masterclass pog

[@123goofyking]

Much as I love Cannot, he a suck a Leviathan sized one for charging us extra after investing in him during IS3

[@AndoaintheMartyr]

Cannot became an anemy again in IS#5 lol

[@barcodeverifier9256]

​@@AndoaintheMartyr Cannot has been an optional enemy since IS3

[@cl0k3]

Honestly, an Arknights composer worth shouting out is the trio of Cybermiso, Dot96 and Tigerlily. Love their work on the Spectrum Battle Theme and Light Spark in Darkness trailer theme

[@CorvoA77ano]

Need more stuff like this Marco, you don't even have to listen to music, just talk about your shared experiences in the music industry, differences in how your work goes, all the interesting and non-interesting tid-bits alike, and just spread your passion for music through banter. Loved this episode!

[@pitchblack9053]

Oh damn, GOAT recognizing GOAT

[@deathmarch4192]

Ayyy lets go Adam POGman! (Part of group) 😁😏

[@chrismoore7365]

DISS IS GONNA BE GOOD, DISS IS GONNA BE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Roriipupper]

HOLY SHIT THE GOATS ARE TOGETHER

[@pitchblack9053]

Ejya and Ejya alter communication

[@akitamatsu4467]

My brain: So you just watch two men talking about music that you don't even understand 70 % what they are saying in one sitting? Me: YES🗿👍

[@Szriko]

What a ride from 'here's some music from this arknights thing I don't know anything about' to here...

[@grantowens7537]

IT’S HIM, MR. ARKNIGHTS HIMSELF! Literally every song he’s made is fantastic! What an awesome pair!

[@CatharsisYT]

Oh ok Adam, I get it. You're cheating on me. WITH A MAN WHO CAN GROW ACTUAL FACIAL HAIR 😭 /s Now we all need to get together and talk about stuff 👀

[@MarcoMeatball]

👀

[@Razor4884]

The Goatman seeks fuzz to herd.

[@AdamGubman1]

😂😂

[@AdamGubman1]

Heyyy I’d totally be down for a group chat!

[@CatharsisYT]

@@AdamGubman1 i know we talked about one forever ago but life loves to get in the way of plans. We still gotta make it happen though 👀

[@ronniejohn6055]

It's a great honor for myself to be able to listen to the masterpieces "together" with the creator himself. Not to mention the stories he brought for every song presented. What a great video. As an Arknights music fan, I'm so happy and thank you so much Marco for the video.

[@MarcoMeatball]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@mashedpotato6703]

OMG, It's Adam Groupman, you know cuz he's part of the group... no..? I'll let myself out then Joking aside, this is a really fun video thanks Marco and Adam!

[@SpoopsAHoy]

The moment you mentioned Magic Theorem, Marco I kid you not I started crying. It's such a wonderful and unique piece. I could not thank Adam Gubman enough for his work.

[@Gevra]

TWO LEGENDS IN ONE VIDEO

[@Ray-vo2ux]

HELL YEAH ADAM GUBMAN

[@stellar4893]

Adam "Goat"man also composes songs for Reverse: 1999 and his song "Take me back to you" is my favorite in the game ❤❤

[@ZaLamander616]

This is probably my favourite "in depth w/ a guest"-style video from you so far. Could be because of my biased connection to Arknights though lmao, I love this game too much sometimes. Absolutely loved Adam as a guest, loved his work before but now I also like him as a person, what a guy! I kinda hope he returns in the future on your channel

[@casuallyyoa]

I greatly appreciate the discussion and subsequent tangent from the Logos EP. I feel like some of the things I extrapolated from the story have been, in a way, confirmed through song considering the literal thousands of words I wrote about him haha. Thank you very much

[@connnnnnnnnnnnorrrrr]

Gubman, if you happen to read the comments, offer your musically talented daughter piano, keyboard, whatever, lessons. As a guy with a oriented music brain I got nowhere with years of guitar when it comes to actually understanding what or why. As soon as I got my first keyboard after a long time of giving up (and a small eurorack skiff thanks to my brother hah), the stuff that never clicked before just assimilated into my brain.

[@AdamGubman1]

My daughter plays guitar really well actually! She has a great guitar teacher too. ❤

[@blitzrohan]

Arknights and Adam mentioned 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥

[@lenoon3814]

YOOOO ITS ADAM ONEOFTHEGUYSWHOMAKESMUSICMAN

[@grubfriend]

I hadn't actually listened to Terra Investment Masterclass yet... Extremely excited for that April Fools' event now, even though we'll have to wait a year 😂 Thank you so much for this insight into the music ❤

[@sibericusthefrosty9950]

Adam "the KAMBING-MAN" Gubman!!!

[@CheztaAhmad]

Dorothy's song (Magic Theorem) is pretty sick. One of Arknights songs that is in my playlist. I am glad that HG pays alot of attention to music in their game, so far to hire competent professionals like Adam and the other guys. Edit: and ofc, Ling ost is fire 🔥a suitable music for a drunk goddess.

[@ira3131]

Really enjoyed that! Adam is always such a joy to listen to and you play off each other really well. I hope you get him back in the future. By the way, if you liked Ling's theme Have you heard the boss theme from Who is Real (山水燼盡)? He killed it on that one too.

[@chaosstripe9446]

Both can be experienced first hand in game too. Both now have record restoration

[@Fuwachi]

Mr. Adam himself need to be breaks down because how he able to produce unexpectedly good music because Arknights music is something that you wouldn't expect, especially for a gacha game. Expect, here I'm not talking about the money/quality not production value. I'm talking about the music itself, the sounds is unexpected, so always excited to hear what kind of music the game gonna throw at me every patch.

[@satellafelix4597]

BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Music analysis is always so engrossing to me for some reason, and having the actual composer involved is also so nice!!!

[@ThePsihopatul]

I cannot wait for this one❤

[@JohnDoe-ug3su]

A few weeks ago, I thought "Marco should interview vgm composers he knows" Boom wish granted

[@weny3213]

An amazing and super interesting interview! The insightful opinions from both you and Adam are amazing for a new composer that aspires to work in the video game industry! Thanks!

[@fefedusts]

magic theorem is one of my comfort song, and i love dorothy :'D !! thank you for making it lol great stuff

[@taka_0012]

Sir Adam, recommend yourself at endfield. We need you, if Endfield has a sea or pirate theme.

[@AdamGubman1]

I’m always interested in meeting new game developers!

[@letsplaygames97]

I hope we get another Gubman stream with more Arknights song breakdowns and music analysis

[@Razor4884]

In Arknights Global, we'll get to goof around with that Terra Investment Masterclass next April Fools. Looking forward to Going ALL In.

[@crayfishZer0]

Thanks Marco, thanks Adam. This was an amazing video.

[@domnamikaze]

Mannnn Whistle Stop is my songggggg 🎉🎉 love hearing the mind behind it 👏🏼

[@GertHuber]

That was an awesome experience to have you two comment on Arknights and composing, reviewing music in generell!

[@HidekiRyugaxx]

I have never played Arknights but this was such a nice video to listen. Very insightful as well

[@erunagoeswaa]

I enjoy this video so much! Thank you for this!

[@galihadam96]

Adam goatman lets goo

[@fefedusts]

logos' theme sounds so good and suits him but i also love the demo a lot ! wish we could see that getting somewhat completed too, love the sound.

[@ShePudding]

Never played the game, never heard of the guy. Loved your conversation and now I have new music to check out! Love this. ❤

[@fefedusts]

4:46 omg logos ! my favourite character, i can't wait for him to become available to roll for ;;

[@_unknown123.]

Mr,Gubman is amazing cook

[@hazarulsutoto5374]

Adam "Part of Group" Gubman just casually making Marco down bad for Ling...

[@JullOxW]

2 of my most favorite music men on a video. Just love it.

[@talamioros]

Next stop, Chen Yupeng

[@Blazuchan]

LETS GO ITS ADAM

[@yakoto4876]

Didn't expect a whole music theory/history lesson from the interview lol but I guess this would naturally happen for two classical educated musician.

[@bakutie]

always great to see him, love everything you talked about

[@YUZHANG-r8y]

Adam,I like the songs you composed for Arknights so much.

[@AdamGubman1]

Aw Ty!!!

[@Yorkington]

He did Magic Theorem?! I love this composer already.

[@AdamGubman1]

[@KKKOstudio]

Omg it's the Goatman!

[@Vaslof]

I tried to look for electronic music today and none of it was as good as the stuff in Arknights.

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Might wanna check Vanguard Sound if you want EDM. I listen primarily to their PGR soundtracks.

[@poh1126]

As an addendum to that they did a lot of really good works in Girls' Frontline. ESPECIALLY in recent events such as Longitudinal Strain, Eclipse and Saros, and Slow Shock. The entire game has lots of good tracks or ambient tracks, but those events are the most notable imo. ​@hijodelsoldeoriente

[@riviellevy]

thanks for sharing your experiences

[@diralis7316]

LET'S GO IT'S ADAM ONEOFTHECOMPOSERGUYSMAN

[@rustybucket164]

I can't tell. Is this an interview? A podcast on music? Or just two bro chatting?

[@MarcoMeatball]

Both 😂

[@AdamGubman1]

Brooooo

[@ucNguyen-ty9cx]

Man, this is a great video...It's interesting to hear Adam's opinion on his own works, and it makes me want to listen to some of the Arknights OST...Thanks you guys for a great time, Marco and Adam!

[@pocchidaifukumochi]

If any one of you two are reading this, thank you Marco for giving me a mindset that has me enjoy music more And a thank you as well as a loving f*ck you to Adam for getting me into this game with Magic Theorem. I never really expected for my first "love at first sight" (or I guess hear in this scenario) but goddamn do the lyrics hit and the atmosphere the music creates is so soothing Also, I kinda had it in my head for you to look like Ed Sheeran for some reason (maybe its because good musician = ed sheeran idk) Glad my expectations were wrong and you look like a cooler Santino D'Antonio (from John Wick)

[@AdamGubman1]

😂❤

[@lokouba]

So humble for someone who made the literal best Arknights boss theme

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

HOLY SHIT LESSGGOOOO! Thanks for this Sir Marco!

[@daptos]

What a blessing to hear twobof you just talk about ak music. I'm so excited to watch this!

[@ChaseddiHondo]

Title so hype I'm contemplating watching now or wait for a better time becuase I'm probably fiinishing this in one go

[@MaiZora]

You guys are legends

[@Dracobyte]

This is hoing to be fire!

[@istiompaxindica9676]

oh shit Gubman, lets go

[@AAAAnca]

one of my favorite songs by Adam One-of-the-GOATs-man is where he put 3/4 worth of a hero's journey and condensed it into a 4-minute instrumental song.

[@BasoSonia]

thank you for making Magic Theorem

[@mOwOhib]

he killed me with the trumpets arrangement in The Throne (feat. Mary Clare Clemons) from AMBS2024

[@shinning123]

The man the myth the legend 💪🔥🔥

[@iliveforchips1186]

Thank you thank you so much for this video, i joined in kind of late to the premiere but it was a pleasure to listen to you two talk about music, cheers! 🎉

[@Agito5V]

Peak interview

[@16Vessel]

I would LOVE to hear Whistle Stop beta theme

[@fazzflavour8915]

i can't fathom the amount of people on the comment section saying they love music but know nothing about arknights WOULD BE 1000000% pleased about the game just because the sole reason of how good the music is

[@reconfox82]

waiting for Evan Call in the future

[@chaosstripe9446]

55:45 I have critical information for you Marco, with bad news and good news: The bad news: Ling's event, the side story "Invitation to Wine", is not getting a rerun in August, as it recieved its rerun last year. The next event is the rerun of her brother Chongyue's event, the side story "Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow", and it starts tomorrow. This will be followed by the side story "Here a People Sows", which will introduce their sister and the newest Sui sibling, Shu. The good news: Each event gets rerun once, around a year after their initial release. This is good news because two years after initial release, they recieve Record Restoration. This is basically a point system for the stars from clearing stages, and allow you to get the event's limited time rewards. These are permanently available once activated for a particular event. The EXTRA good new: The side story "Invitation to Wine" just got its Record Restoration, and so now is permanently available whenever you want to play it. So uhh.... I think the Gubtax is now.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Fuck is it now?!

God I love Magic Theorem

[@fenchen531]

🥴wish Adam can make some music with Suona, I really want to see what would happen

[@ALMOSTNKKD]

I shall again recommend Fighting Back from Spider-Man 2. All of the tracks are twists on the main theme but this one and Midtown Madness are probably the best

[@RratRemi]

"Mix of eastern and western styles"... Lookin at Lee's theme: i can see that lol

[@shutup1037]

Wowwwww
