Hylics 2 "Xeno Arcadia" Master Class

[@vividdragon]

I'm not much of a musician myself, but man your passion is so intoxicating!

[@chuck_salamone]

Yo, that's my main goal!

[@jeremiastore4596]

you're sound is so unique and original, you're great chuck and its clear as water the fact you love making music. You're amazing love your work

[@chuck_salamone]

I appreciate you!

[@Sunsetsoliloquy]

Dang, looks like I just missed the livestream, thanks for archiving this though!

[@chuck_salamone]

All good! You are quite welcome. Hope you enjoy it. Next one will happen soon, “that’s a big stick”

[@pal04katvv1st6]

Russia is listening to you!!! In Russia, hylics has a fairly large fan base . P.S. Если тут будут русские , знайте, вы не первые)

Хои! Конечно же не первые, те первее есть всегда (в моём случае)

2 years after being seeing this, I came back after getting a bass guitar. Sad that there's no Bolt Thrower master class since it sounds like rage incarnate to me. You're a funny dude, always super captivating, and definitely some sort of inspiration inside of me. Keep rockin, Chuck!

[@chuck_salamone]

I appreciate you! I will eventually get around to sharing all of my secrets with everyone, especially for the big tunes!

[@Hypnos-lw3fn]

Hylics 2 was something I've had on my Wishlist for some time and I hadn't had a chance to play it up until recently, and I've been enthralled by it. In large part the visuals of course, but also the music, it really helps to tie the aesthetic of the game together and it would feel really empty without it. You somehow managed to perfectly combine the feeling of tension and conflict while also being perfectly at ease. The chorus, the bassline, there's not a bad thing about these tracks!

[@KowjjaMusic]

As an aspiring percussion player and aspiring music composer, this is HIGHLY inspirational Thanks a bunch 🙏 Looking forward to listen to more of your stuffs

[@clementbalaguy4312]

I heard that song on Spotify, I was so thrilled I wanted more. So I discovered the game an stuff, and man I'm just starting bass , let's learn this song ! Bam, masterclass , purefect , thank you 👌

[@p4tor]

Just discovered that you have a channel while listening to the OST, I’m going to spend my whole week on theses pre-recorded classes. Keep with the good work Chuck!

[@chuck_salamone]

Thank you! Enjoy them, and I’ll be seein’ ya in the next session!

[@sandwich_bird]

thank you sm for making these bro, can’t wait for that’s a big stick

[@chuck_salamone]

I’m stoked for “That’s a Big Stick,” too!

[@robertdurst9089]

Thank you so much for doing this, I had this stream on while I was grilling and playing bass, it was a really nice night :)

[@chuck_salamone]

You are so very welcome! I’m looking forward to teaching/talking about all of my tunes from Hylics 2.

[@GabrielLopes-br8zq]

Thanks for the livestream, this time I didn't miss it! Looking forward to the next one, I love your work!!

[@chuck_salamone]

😭 no, u!

[@mmm2600]

This song blew my mind!!! I'm also a huuuge jamiroquai fan, the bass in this song is super groovy. Nice stuff, greetings from México. :D

[@Jimmy-cv2js]

How did I know you were going to mention Jamiroquai lol Love the band and your song btw

[@JimmyMcGinger]

I've had a slide since I was 16 too. I needed one for a guitar lesson and thankfully my DT teacher (I think American's call that lesson "woodshop"?) was also a guitarist and just sawed off a chunk of old steel pipe and told me to sand the hell of it so I didn't hack my finger to pieces. It's not very shiny or pretty but works good enough that I used it to learn this!

[@chuck_salamone]

VERY hell yeah, dude. That's awesome.

[@yelimsnusm7551]

Cool i love your music

[@chuck_salamone]

Thank you so much!

[@fesh388]

listening to this while working on assignments, cant wait for the next one!

[@shoe7393]

You're awesome Chuck

[@dariuseggs]

For some reason i was thinking about the BUNK noise all fucking day and just when i started not thinking about it i found this vid and the fist thing i hear is the bunk noise. Simply phenomenal

[@Dexvox43]

Aw I missed the livestream but I'm catching up on it now! Really love watching you go through the parts, especially the bass parts so I could learn and play along! =) The guitar parts are great but your bass parts for your hylics work just....Oof, so good! Quick question about the Peavey: do you know any good places to find one? Where did you find yours?

[@chuck_salamone]

My dad actually brought this home from a business trip to Georgia. He found it in a pawn shop in Atlanta. That was about 2006-2007. You can find them on reverb. Mine is actually in “okay” condition for how old it is! 11/10, highly recommend for its boinkiness!

[@deltafuze8656]

Do you think we will ever see both osts on vinyl? It just seems like a perfect thing to be on vinyl, maybe even cassettes or 8 tracks (jk on the 8 tracks) but it would be a hit..idk how much it would cost, a bit id assume but so many people would buy it. And I know the two of you are working on own projects and the next collaboration and all that but id legit give you a big hug and tell you im proud of you like a dad lmao 🤣 Great video btw, rly easy to learn with this walk-through

[@majorghoul9017]

Thank you so much for the inspiration, I'm gonna do my best on that game I told you about :)

[@chuck_salamone]

Crush it, homie!

[@eliscruggs8575]

Tagging for myself later but he goes ovee the guitar chords at about 51:00

[@stevenation4249]

Hey man, it’s awesome to learn about how you went about making this track. I was wondering if you’d be interested in covering the Afterlife track like this?

[@chuck_salamone]

While I’d love to cover afterlife, I would need to learn it myself, as that one is a Mason track!

[@stevenation4249]

@@chuck_salamone Do you think it’d be possible to have Mason himself on one of these streams?

[@chuck_salamone]

@@stevenation4249 it’s feasible. I will float the idea to Mason.

[@ghostpengi9629]

Just wanted to comment saying the tracks in moonage lobotomy are fucking fire, big fan of Bolt Thrower and endless cycle is a close second.

[@chuck_salamone]

I'm so glad you enjoy it! Such a fun EP to produce. I'm looking forward to showing the world what else I can do!

[@ghin780]

Man the work you and Mason do is so cool. I wish there was some way I could work with you guys. I would honestly like, do slave labor to help you guys out.

[@grantdrag]

What effects were used on this track?

[@grantdrag]

Mainly asking for the guitar part btw

[@chuck_salamone]

@@grantdrag It's mostly clean signal embellished with various intensities of TC Electronic Corona Chorus, MXR Phase 90, and the EHX Grand Canyon delay and looper pedal. I also use a brass tube slide quite a bit. And the whole thing is soaked with reverb.

[@TsukiStuffs]

hey chuck! when's the master class on fancy meat computer? one of my favorite rpg boss themes just in general

[@chuck_salamone]

I'll do it eventually. Super busy writing some more Hylics music for a Hylics song cycle that takes place after the second game.

[@TsukiStuffs]

@@chuck_salamone hey man, i getcha. take your time, the Mona Lisa wasn't painted in a day

[@kvixsow01]

what did moonlit highway sound like

[@chuck_salamone]

it was very basic. Not much of a vocal melody, but it was a solid song for a plucky 14/15 year old to have written. It really came together with the guys I was playing with. They pop in and out of the comments sections every once in a while, so if Sean, Taylor, or Rob are reading this, howdy fellas!

[@infectiousfungi3188]

NOOOOOOOOO I MISSEEEEED IT!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHAHA!!!!

[@chuck_salamone]

Ahhhhh, I’m sure I’ll see you in the next one! All good, these will be archived.

[@infectiousfungi3188]

@@chuck_salamone Thank you!!

[@mavstermedia9679]

What kind of pedals do you use?

[@chuck_salamone]

Oh, man…a TON! Distortion is always Wampler Sovereign. Got an MXR Phase 90. Couple of different chorus pedals, mainly the Tc electronic Corona chorus, but I also have the OBNE Visitor. I have a boss harmonist, but it needs repairs, so for octaver I use a TC electronic quintessence. Got some really weird ones like the EHX mainframe, EHX Blurst, EHX Grand Canyon delay and looper module (primarily for the shimmer effect). I also have some other EHX stuff like the B9 Organ Machine and the Attack/Decay reverse tape simulator. Honestly, if it’s kinda weird, I usually buy it. Looking forward to getting some Chase Bliss stuff eventually. Maybe some more Old Blood Noise Endeavors pedals. Who knows, I’m always on the lookout for bizarre sounds!

[@tyffis9525]

Wait was the bass tuned down a step?

[@chuck_salamone]

Eb Standard!

[@paisenpaisen]

endless cycle master class pls

[@chuck_salamone]

Maybe someday!
