Marty, Composing Halo, Destiny, Golem (Re-uploaded)

[@Moa_Preston_Hexx]

Bro you’re a god damn saint for this re upload.

[@noahjezyk]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REUPLOADING THIS. This video almost singlehandedly changed my life. It inspired me to learn orchestral writing and think about scoring. Now I’m going into Game and Interactive Media Scoring at Berklee and I could not be happier. I knew that I would do music, but I never felt this kind of joy when I produced EDM tracks. Even rewatching this after 2 years, there are still parts that I didn’t remember. Its amazing how much I can learn from one 45 minute video, nothing else like it.

[@expilectakunai]

Dude mazel tov! That's a big step forward! I'm heading to DigiPen Institute of Technology this fall for Music and Sound Design, maybe our game scoring paths will cross someday haha :)

I really thought Activision was the problem with new Bungie, but this sucks that even after they left things have seemingly gotten worse with the management and media. Thanks for reuploading this, I was upset that he had to take it down because of some legal BS.

"Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean." I haven't heard that in years. I love your music, it really touched me in my teens during hard times.

[@guitargym4161]

Love Marty. Consummate musician, educator, composer, adapter, thinker, innovator. I wish the fans would understand his legacy is so much more than Halo or Bungie.

[@adroharv5140]

Always great to hear from this wonderful composer personally from my approaching 40 years perspective and experience concerning getting to be good at composing, the main thing I would suggest you're going to want more than anything is know that you really want to do it in the first place. You can go from an absolute nothing as was my case to someone that is now in a very fortunate position but only if you care enough that you want to get that far. You also rather importantly need to know what the bar actually is in terms of what you're aiming for which sounds obvious but unless you can indeed identify this, well you could spend the next ten or twenty years being very frustrated. The bar has to be exceptionally high and you have to accept that you're not going to be able to reach that for quite some time Bottom line can be in some cases that you don't need to be able to read or write music and I say this knowing my craft has been from learning through a different means. One which I think allowed for a different advancement than if I had gone the traditional route but in fairness it's more likely you will want to look to learning traditionally if you want as much help as you can get. Learning though by your own experience can be very beneficial I would say and it is also very satisfying knowing you have built yourself up with a knowledge that is entirely your own. You also don't need to read or write even if you are to understand to an orchestral standard but you must at the very least be understanding to how these bodies of sound work when interpreting them over from your mind. Again it's likely easier learning fundamentals over discovering rules by experience but it's entirely possible whatever you choose. In any case thinking orchestrally is just something you gain from vast experience of listening and engaging the process. A piano or synth or in fact any means to bring about ideas in a real time capacity is pretty crucial frankly as is a decent ability in playing as this is how ideas are born and then developed. Without the ability to work with an idea, even if just through how you hear it in your mind, this can be hard to get a sense of much from that such as its tempo or mood. Also learning to put music together using purely sequencers rather than any real time playing at all can make for much harder fought results if you want anything but robot sounding efforts Be honest with yourself the whole time when it is you are at a stage where it's starting to come together, because it helps to be brutal when comparing your work to the greatest out there. The journey can often be mostly unpleasant for the longest time as you listen with envy how effortless people are with their great efforts over yours but it will be for the better that you know what you're up against. Providing you have an unending desire to reach the highest standards, it is then entirely possible you can achieve your ambition but it's not going to be easy if you want to be the very best That's simply my take of course on how learning to compose might work for you via another means and I wouldn't place it any higher than what has been said here by Marty O'Donnell but learning traditionally if it was anything like it was for me, wasn't an option that my poor brain could cope with

[@TheSplashArmyy]

Man Marty is being silenced…

[@TheScreechingCellist]

We cannot allow the Heretics to silence him

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-z1n]

It's crazy to think that Destiny was ruined because of one particular person in Bungie who decided to give the keys to the kingdom to the goose-eating activision.

[@LadyLenaCat]

THANK YOU FOR REUPLOADING THIS !! I hope ya dont mind me downloading it myself for preservation purposes in case this too gets removed ;^)

[@colonel1003]

5:28 sounds like something you’d hear in Hotline Miami at the beginning then builds up to something sounding like Deltarune

[@loganbaker2881]

Thank you for uploading, I genuinely learned from this and appreciate that he posted it himself even though i didn't formally attend this class. Always have loved Marty and he is the inspiration behind my current career. Love making music, loved playing the games as a kid and laughing and crying because of the shit this man did. Humbled he still graces us with these lessons and new music ever so often.

[@aamacan]

Thank god you re uploaded this video.

[@guidofazzito]

Thank you so much for this!

[@beatlecristian]

I’m written musical pieces with video games in mind.

[@Dazz6803]

ty for the backup :)😊❤👍

[@BoxPossum96]

Legendary vibes

[@Adrian_]

Thank you so much!

[@Yilue]

Making music for games is such a dream job for me. I'm at the very beginning if this is something I will pursue. I did do a little bit of music in school mainly on computer with a little bit of recordings. Had to make my own rap XD which I sucked at lmao but it was fun. I passed the subject with a merit. I just really dont know where to begin

[@Fazeshyft]

It's a crying shame that Destiny does not take itself more seriously. The jokes, carboard characters, microtransactions, live service tropes, and the preposterous, overwrought writing. All of that superimposed on a sweeping, incredible score. It's cognitive dissonance that pull me out of the experience. Am I alone in this sense? I feel like his talent is wasted on that franchise.

[@JackPiLope]

Someone get MarcoMeatball to listen to this to archive it

[@tomasdoherty6502]

Do you, or anyone have the video where marry described how he came up with the music that would be used in destiny's loading screen?

[@NeoTeAika]

If it was on his channel, others have also archived his uploads, including submissions to the internet archive at archive.org

[@GoodPerson540]

Got anything in relation to Marty's Music of the Spheres?

[@NeoTeAika]

Afraid I don't sorry. I'm working on a project to recreate Halo's soundtrack so already had these downloaded for research. There are however multiple complete collections of Marty's channel available through internet archive though.

[@joshbradshaw6974]

Perhaps this should be of help this is the marty o donnel version to my memory kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXJYptrn9GYeK8

[@NoamSarusi]

Why was it taken down in the first place?

[@NeoTeAika]

Not sure for the exact reason, but Marty took down most of his public content regarding any material related to Bungie. I archived the material I had downloaded while studying Halo's soundtrack, but didn't have any of the other videos other than what's here. His videos have been publicly mirrored by other sources on the web though, if you're looking for any.

[@AzureFlameGod1986]

@@NeoTeAika That’s good! It really shows people care about Marty and his material by preserving videos like these.

[@BenNixBradley]

Great find. Really great video.
