How I Joined GAME THEORY ► bit.ly/2wLrQad
Game Theory's own MatPat made KZbin history this month by officially stepping away and retiring from his shows Game Theory, Film Theory, Food Theory, and Style Theory. MatPat's Final Theory was released on March 9th, 2024, making it official. And I actually got to be a part of the finale in a pretty unique way! So today, I wanna talk about how MatPat and I made you cry…with music!

Good job man, you absolutely killed it (side note, it also gave me the feels, THE FEELS MAN! AHHHHH!). Edit: also I would LOVE to hear more music stuff from you, be it breakdowns or even your own compositions original or otherwise. You're incredibly skilled with a guitar, and I feel like I've just never known that the man behind the awesome Game Theory and friends intros were largely done by you.

As well as a strong timpani at the end of the piece as a concluding sendoff. If people who are not affiliated with music understand that, I would be heavily impressed.

Thank for everything you contributed to The Theorists, Ryder.

Keep on going, man and thank you for the amazing "The Game Theorist Symphony" as a sendoff to MatPat and Stephanie. Hope that Avatar video goes well. Keep rocking on!

[@vanitas9855]

seriously though i love music theory. hearing how different motifs can work together in different arrangements. knowing it is just basically math but fun. and the final music was so impactful. strings are always a great choice for something emotional.

[@shannyn7404]

Dude, you are so talented! That music gave me chills. I also know you did the track for Let Me Explain Studios "Bei Mir Dist Du Shoen" cover, which was great as well. And you can edit AND you can write. Your just great man, I hope you know that.

[@NotAnEldritchHorror]

genuinely, I would love to see more videos like this ryder. i'm a musician whose currently in high school but hoping to go on to study composition at a conservatory. and i can hands down say your work has been a massive influence on that ambition, particularly the food theory theme, as the discussion around you writing it made me actually realise that being a freelance composer was actually a possible career, and one that i wanted to pursue at that. so to hear more about how you compose, or even just talk about music more generally is something that i would really love to see more of.

I’ve been waiting for this! I’ve always loved to appreciate music especially when it’s not supposed to be the main focus of something. So I have of course always loved Science Blaster, and I found this orchestral, slow version incredible, and I really wanted to know who is responsible for it and where I can find out more about it and listen to it again. After not much research, I realised that I should come to you in search of these things, but sadly you had nothing on your channel about it. But now I found this and I am so happy and I would like to thank you very much for this masterpiece
