[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

➡ Stream Question: What compositional elements do you like the MOST about Kevin Penkin??? Catch me live on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

[@Toto-yj8hc]

Kevin penkin’s unique ability to layer the tracks like nothing you've ever heard before and his keen sense when to strip back layers to let the base melody breathe if you would.

[@TheLaprasMan]

His sheer variety is like nothing I've ever heard before

[@jackielee297]

Do Tsubasa Chronicles next!!

[@brassknucklehead1083]

I think he does a lot of different vocal work! He has compositions with choirs, chanting, female and male pieces, you should try listening to VOH if you haven’t yet, the guy who sings it has such a crazy range

[@CubularCreeper]

I enjoy how much he sneaks futuristic synth elements into a lot of the soundtrack despite it being heavily reliant on traditional sounds (in this song alone there's a lot of strings, drums and chanting) for that ancient exploratory feel. It complements the story so well because it's about exploring essentially an ancient cave filled with relics and strange creatures, but we slowly learn of many technologically advanced relics of some alien(?) civilization that shape the bizarre environment (and do horrible things to intruders)...

[@baldfalk]

heya, Kevin's mix engineer for Made in Abyss here. This might have been the hardest single track in the entire anime series+films' discography for me to mix, lol. Enjoyed watching this reaction.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Hey! Thanks for saying hello. Great job on your mix 👏 🎵

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

You would be a fun person to interview 👀

[@baldfalk]

i pinged via email :V

[@justinhansen6069]

This kind of interview would be a huge service to the community!

[@XxKNIGHT742xX]

Are you for real man?

[@Toto-yj8hc]

You are doing the Lords work with these made in abyss reactions from season two I highly recommend old stories and belafs lullaby, truly moving pieces both of them.

[@TheLaprasMan]

don't forget VOH

[@inventor4279]

​@@TheLaprasMan and San ken!

[@noahvandenberg3637]

Also Drums of Ganja-tai is a really underrated ost!

[@_blackturtle_5734]

​@@inventor4279 San Ken made that queen scene 👌

[@SgtFinaldo]

Belafs Lullaby is quite beautiful.

[@cronos4024]

"VOH" from MiA has a incredible vocalist performance! Recommend that one

[@aroudight]

YES! VOH absolutely just shred in a soul cleansing angelic way!

[@cronos4024]

@@aroudight One of the most intense feelings of longing condensed into a music track I ever heard

[@TheLaprasMan]

VOH is Kevin Penkin and Takeshi Saito's magnum opus, which is saying something given the track record of both

[@xablarafa]

in my opinion its kevin magnum opus

[@Kinben69]

The most underrated Made in Abyss OST imo.

[@randompolygon8401]

honestly, the movie and s2 soundtrack are just no where near talked about enough. which is a shame considering how I think the soundtrack of abyss has gotten better with every entry, and as of now it's my favorite soundtrack in media.

[@Sineseol]

@@randompolygon8401 Because both the movie and s2 was kinda mediocre, most people forgot aboput that right after the ending credits.

[@randompolygon8401]

@@Sineseol I hard disagree, I think s1 is the least amazing part of the story. the city of scorching sun, is one of my favorite arcs in any piece of media I have seen, and is one of the 8 anime entries that I have ever given a 10/10 to. the movie isn't that far behind either. bondrewd himself is one of the best villains I have ever seen, but along side that, the reg vs bondrewd fight has to be one of my favorite fight scenes ever. and that's besides the point of the emotional scenes hitting like a truck every time. I have balled my eyes out at every entry of made in abyss. season 2 specially had me sobbing for 10 minutes straight.

[@iNomNomAwesome]

​@@Sineseol Crazy. Dawn of the Deep Soul and season 2 are fantastic

[@The_Blazelighter]

​@@randompolygon8401 Seeing how far Penkin has come since Season 1 is absolutely incredible. Especially when it comes to more action heavy tracks like this. It's evolved to be something more substantial and enjoyable to listen to, while still maintaining its unique style and instrumentation.

[@russiancheems2275]

I LOVE how when the horns kicked in at 2:36, the deepest recesses of my brain told me “YOU NEED TO RUN. *NOW* ” like I was just in IMMEDIATE danger

[@Mugetsu_778]

8:17 The masculine urge to fight for your people in the most unholy way possible kicking in

[@N0thing2SeaHere]

You've really opened a can of worms reacting to Made in Abyss music. There really isn't a bad song for the entirety of both seasons and the movie.

[@user-uz3rp2pe7m]

old stories and VOH are both Kevin's works, and I really recommend them! I think these two are the best ost in MiA

[@Alepap.]

VOH almost made me cry, when it played in the episode, i almost stopped paying attention to what was happening and listened.

[@jasonbrennan9918]

I'm only really familiar with Kevin's work through MiA, but 'Juroimoh Mutation' is one of my favourite tracks from Season 2 with other favourites being 'Old Stories' and 'Gravity'. Good tracks from S1 and DotDS are 'Hanezeve Caradhina', 'Tomorrow', 'Pathways', 'Underground River', 'Transcendence and Hanezeve' and 'Narahate and the Machine'. Also, if you're unfamiliar with the subject matter of the anime do be aware that anything to do with 'layers' may have thematic significance...

[@NeoAcetalos-yw1ws]

His tower of god ost has a few good ones also

[@weldernick3750]

I feel like this show is a must watch at this point! The music is great but with context hits like a truck! How emotions just hit hearing these songs after watching the show!

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

Don’t know if anyone told you this yet,but the vocals you hear in the OSTs from Made in Abyss are not from a real language. They are an Abyss language that the created based on german,if I remember correctly. It’s one of those cases where the composer just wants you to feel it and not understand it.

[@Rylux]

Its based on many european languages. German and icelandic were just a few examples as far as I know.

[@catseng3949]

Ofc German was chosen to represent the abyss language lmao

[@RainbowHomo]

@@catseng3949 Damn, so I kinda can speak Abyss.... xDDD

[@jeksun1580]

OLD STORIES…. BELAFS LULLABY… GRAVITY… so many bangers dude. Also Kevin is such a sweet guy.

[@Depressed_until_dead]

I can't believe belaf's lullaby isn't even mentioned most of the time. It singlehandedly made me tear up MULTIPLE times. This music piece of art and ( spoilers ) kitty's first death were the only 2 things that got me 🤷‍♂️

[@Zoosmell413]

The 2 songs that Everyone is sleeping by Kevin Penkin are 'reBirth' and 'Prayer and Immolation'. everyone has done reactions to songs like 'Rumbling of scientific triumph' and 'transcendence and hanazeve' but no one ever reacts to those songs which makes me sad. 'Tozo Hanoline' is a great song as well.

[@Aurorya]

Bruh he literally reacted to transcendece and hanazeve before

[@g76agi]

@@Aurorya yes, he said that in the original comment lol

[@anugrahshrestha8208]

I know that the Patrons will eventually request MIA tracks like Hanazeve Caradhina, Old Stories, Tomorrow, etc. But 2 tracks I'd really like to hear your opinion on is Tozo Hanoline & I AM BURNING MAN

[@sopsiarskye1577]

Tozo Hanoline is amazing, prob my favorite track from the movie album

[@FreakyFazbur]

@@sopsiarskye1577 yeah, it perfectly recreates the feeling of the show. Beautiful and "dreamy" but something feels off

[@sosu418]

Tozo Hanoline is beautiful. I AM BURNING MAN is just Kevin being Kevin in his natural habitat

[@GGABueno]

Fantasy, beautiful, jarring, disturbing, cute, terrifying. I find it amazing how both the show and the ost can be described with those words. The songs have so many things mashed together but anyone who watches the show will listen to any piece and say "yup, this is it".

[@revenantwolzart]

Menacingly magnificent! Made in Abyss is pinnacle of human ingenuity

[@mayureshjoshi4075]

This is among my top 3 by kevin. By god do I love Kevin's music and him as a person as well

[@yuutheuser]

There is a set of songs that share a leitmotif that I like the use of throughout MiA those being Reg's Theme, Relinquish, and Dark Reg Nightmare Fuel. I do think that "The First Layer" is a good atmospheric track if you're into those

[@The_Blazelighter]

The First layer is a fairly simple piece, that while effective doesn't make for the greatest analysis content. I'd recommend its more developed older brother, The Fourth Layer, which is the same melody but more fully orchestrated and fleshed out. After that, I'd check out the next evolution on the idea within Mallets of Abyss, which expands on the idea while still feeling entirely distinct in its own right.

[@Vithedel]

More Kevin Penkin hell yeah. Check out his ost in Tower of God as well, standout soundtrack of the year for sure.

[@GranAut1sm0]

Made in Abyss - Tomorrow next? Ah man I can feel it getting closer.

[@omgodification]

At this point, everyone agrees you're gonna have to check out the entirety of the 3 OSTs. And its totally worth it.

[@Yggdraseed]

To suggest a couple of my favorites that other people haven't recommended yet, you might listen to Tomorrowland and Dance: Narehate. Oh, and Mallets of Abyss! I also wanted to point out how going from season one to the movie to season two, Kevin Penkin's compositions have gone from being heavy on classical instrumental with some splashes of non-standard traditional instruments, synthesizers, and vocals to integrating them more and more. I think it really demonstrates his strong grasp on musical theory how he can create these beautiful and really effective compositions while using such eclectic and unorthodox sounds.

[@BloodrealmX]

Also getting stranger as we descend deeper into the Abyss.

[@jamiemoseley8571]

Having the skill to bring together vocals synths wind and strings together to create these otherworldy masterpieces

[@lucaspittman9067]

For me this is definitely in my top 5 of his made in abyss ost’s. The middle section with the clearly defined voices that are of this angelic nature and then the deep crushing despair that follows always makes me tear up especially knowing what scene this plays with in the anime. I can’t recommend this whole soundtrack and the show for that matter enough. Absolutely a must watch and no show probably captures the feeling of hauntingly beautiful better than it. For other ost’s I’d recommend kill la kill’s whole ost, but specifically blumenkranz and nui harime’s theme. Can’t wait for whatever you have in store!

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

You have to listen to Tomorrow Or Hanezeve Caradahina next, the fandom fights over which is the best like most others fight over best girl. -Kevin IS our waifu-

[@raykirystar]

Yesss This is my favorite anime song, I think it deserves more attention.

[@myscat]

Tomorrow is by far my favorite song from him. I really, really like most of MiA OST but Tomorrow just hits me different. Vibes so familiar yet impossible to describe, it touches me more than any other song. First time I have heard it I literally couldn't believe something SO beautiful can exist, this song made me watch the whole anime and it is still the only anime that I gave a 10. But as for other songs, my favorites are then probably Old Stories, Counterpoint of Abyss, Ouni, 2 Months and Tomorrowland. Of course all others are really amazing and I really recommend to listen to the whole OST if you still didn't (not listening to this OST would be the biggest mistake ever)

[@kobarsos82]

I have no words how mesmerizing this ost is, in this short anime fantasy series. Its so mindblowingly good, it sucks you in !! Still can't believe a short anime would have this quality of music... its maddening. No anime has the right to sound so good!

[@Hadimaee]

That San-ken reaction gonna be top teir 😅

[@anikevin]

Hopefully Belaf's lullaby is covered in the future

[@PetarBladeStrok]

React to Hanezeve Caradhina. The most iconic Made in Abyss OST and in my opinion, still the best one!

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

The first three notes are enough for me to instantly recognize it and get a huge wave of chills,crazy how the OSTs from this show touches me right on the feels.

[@randompolygon8401]

is it really still the best one though? Idk man, voh and gravity are even better imo.

[@TheLaprasMan]

​@@randompolygon8401 it was never the best when tomorrow always existed imo

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

@@TheLaprasMan we can go on and on until every track is mentioned once,that’s how good the OST of this show is. Also taste is subjective.

[@leonsdx]

Definitely give "Old Stories" or "Gravity" from season 3 a chance. Really amazing work!

[@choongbean172]

Season 3? Dude's living in 2030 lol

[@leonsdx]

3 albums got me tripping 😂

[@Grims-Arc]

I really love the Made in Abyss OSTs, especially this one. I Tried my best to make a tribute soundtrack for made in abyss inspired by Kevin Penkin. I discovered that he really likes to blend so many styles of music together and that's just a really creative approach. What mostly happens is a "hybrid" where orchestral and synth based instruments work together, and i think that's what's unique about these soundtracks.

[@_inSight__]

This music doesn't have a specific genre it belongs to, but I do understand this kind of music because this is how I compose. It's called "whatever works", and it requires a keen sense for how most people interpret momentum while making sure each measure, sound, instrument, note, and harmony is a dynamic reaction to what immediately came before it. And you only do all of that if you already have a simple foundation that you can lean into yourself. It's all about appreciating what you just heard so you can respect the diverse nature of the story you have become the medium for.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Links to your music?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@_inSight__ I mean, you advertised you are a composer with a keen understanding of this type of composition so of course I'm going to ask🎵

[@yoman7873]

You need to listen to "Tomorrow". That's my personal favourite music from Kevin Penkins.

[@vlander1992able]

kevin is on the cutting edge of cool ass music composition, and I am so glad I get to live in a time where I can experience it for myself.

[@dlaprzyjaciohiri.3272]

Okey but that scene with this soundtrack was A MA ZING

[@roserocksrapidly]

6:00 "definitely almost overpowering" is coincidentally also a good description for what's happening in the scene this piece plays ;)

[@ConManAU]

I’d argue it isn’t a coincidence at all - if there’s one thing Kevin does well it’s making music that fits the emotion of the scene perfectly.

[@lolilol.]

VOH, three sankens and Bellaf’s lullaby

[@PinkSylvia]

Old Stories next. It's a masterpiece

[@SpriiDragunny]

PLEEEASSSEEE check out VOH by Kevin Penkin it might not be as crazy with time signature changes but it’s still beautiful

[@Colutti115]

.....Tomorrow & Relinquish from s1 is a must......., Prayer and Immolation/Dark Reg, Nightmare Fuel/The Rumble of Scientific Triumph[...]..... 🥸

[@giuliadei03]

I use these ost to dream with my original character. The first part reminds me of titanic pale trees; in fact the imaginary registration goes from the middle of the log, it encounters rocks, more and more light and there it is my character on a rock or on of a benches wo watched from above with the wind between her hair

[@MaidDucko]

highly recommend Tomorrow and Underground River from Kevin Penkin (s1 Made in Abyss)

[@Yiyi_2295]

Voh es una de mis favoritas, es increíble

[@niemampojeucia]

Belaf's lullaby, ols storier and kan-sen are amazing, but I think you should hear the whole soundtrack for made in abyss 1, 2 and movie. It is honestly so good and innovative. Check this out please even if not for the video, Kevin Penkin is and absolute gem.

[@MrMuel1205]

There is plenty more from MiA that's worth listening to, but Irregular God from Tower of God is another composition from Kevin that's worth checking out.

[@lazydaze6]

That's my favorite track from TOG 🔥

[@aloisioalencar9136]

I like how kevin added in this OST an easter egg from another OST he made for Tower of God. Dont know if many people noticed
