My reaction & Analysis of ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn WMId, one of the peculiar tracks from the Attack On Titan OST, from the perspective of a Music Composer & Producer.
Did Anime Soundtracks just peak with this one? Maybe!
Let me explain you why from the perspective of a Music Producer and Orchestral Composer.

[@AlexMoukalaMusic]

To those asking where I got the separate instruments: As a Composer, I'm able to listen to music and reverse-engineer every instrument by ear, then re-write it realistically on my computer. Writing music is my job! Orchestral music especially. When you read "Music Producer Reacts" or "Composer Reacts" in my video titles, that's what I hope it translates to you. :) I like to reconstruct or remix these pieces of music to show you exactly what I talk about during my breakdowns. It does takes a lot more work to make these videos this way, but I think this is a far better way to teach rather than the opposite!

[@AlexMoukalaMusic]

Not only is the music good in itself, but it perfectly fits its titanic theme, grandiose, epic, tragic and mournful, and it is also perfectly synchronised to the action in the anime, both resonating for maximum impact. When I hear AoT music, I get flashbacks from the anime, and this is no accident, that’s what they were going for, and they succeeded. Edit: Btw your funky remix at the end was amazing.

"The Apotheosis of Talent" That... is probably the most accurate compliment you could give, let alone one of the biggest compliments. DAMN

I am just saying anime’s don’t mess around with music especially when the anime is very famous and it needs a fire 🔥 track so yea anime’s don’t mess around

[@skylerdmitchell2815]

Nah some animes got some sorry osts

[@elliotwintersdemanagabei9437]

I disagree. I loved the anime Parasyte but often times the music was just... lame? It felt poorly directed too, because often times music would often just cut off and make moments feel comedic when they weren't supposed to be.

@@elliotwintersdemanagabei9437 well i never seen parasyte before but some anime’s have good music and others don’t so i agree with you

its so nice to see someone show appreciation for music from games & anime. You can FEEL the passion and the amount of time the music producers put in which are far better than the current music. Keep it up Alex ! love from Malaysia !!!

Coincidentally, I decided to rewatch Attack on Titan from the start today lol. It was one of the earliest shows I've watched back when it first came out in 2013 and still holds a special place in my heart but I felt my 15 yo self didn't appreciate it enough. Glad I made this decision cuz it's as epic as I recall. Direction and music so superbly executed it still gives me goosebumps in some scenes.

Finally some Sawano appreciation! Been waiting a long time to hear you talk about him on your channel. If there's one OST from him I would also recommend it's Xenoblade Chronicles X. He scored the entire game and it's fantastic.

[@hochigaming14yearsago90]

ThemeX was awesome

[@RitchiAfonso]

Sawano and the singer are instant masterpiece makers!

[@skinipik7136]

I kid you not. Everytime i hear that "aaahh!!" line it gives me goosebumps! truly a masterpiece anime music.

[@Thorgue1910]

Man, you would love other OSTs from Sawano, he is ridiculously good

[@fluiddityy7398]

I feel he would love 0sk and Youseebiggirl
