Music from 'Note Block Universe' - Animation Vs. Minecraft Ep. 29 - Scott Buckley

[@a.n.9800]

A friend pointed out to me how Purple’s violin “voice” fades in and out during the emotional abstract scene, often drowned behind other instruments. He’s most audible when he’s closest to meeting his dad’s expectations. Beautiful storytelling through the score.

In a story told without words, the burden of storytelling falls heavier on the score and visuals. I think it’s safe to say this score handles the burden with ease, Scott. Thanks again for an absolutely beautiful score.

[@DragonMaster66]

Dont get me wrong, the music scores in Alan's vids are PHENOMONAL, but I usually I don't go back looking for them. I like to watch them with the video itself, because it all fits together so well. Until this one. I cannot express how much I love that my best description I could come up with for each segment is literally the emotion it was trying to portray. And all of them hit me in the heart. The whole thing is kind of sad, weirdly haunting, like something huge was lost along the line. Like the kind of songs movies use when there are huge, beautiful, ancient ruins that characters are walking through. It fit the video so well, but is also such a genuinely beautiful piece that can fully stand alone, and I love that.

[@Gardengap]

The nicest detail is 4:58, when the violin sounds really shaky, like someone who’s just cried taking a deep breath. Yes, the word is “shaky”.

[@bobebobo2643]

I like how this episode goes from happy animals zombies and villagers singing to a guy sharing his villain backstory by singing

[@dawnbeckett9179]

5:09 ending on the unresolved chord is how purple feels like he cant get the closure of finding his dad and having that guilt, before green makes purple feel better by resolving that chord for them and telling them that green doesn't want to put purple in the category of "good" or "bad"

[@ESparkAster]

The combined music when purple is betrayed and then falls down a spiral of his mother's flowers is amazingly done. The build-up just works. It's Purple's breaking point. He's spiraling down back to where he was again. And then he reaches for a petal and it goes away just perfectly capsules how Purple has been completely shattered. He was berayed by his dad and the King, then he betrayed his potential friends and the memory of his mother.

[@AgentIllusion73]

Only recently did I understand just how artistic a touch it was to use strings... Purple's life has been a series of him trying to pull people's strings while his own are being pulled.

[@NovaMations388]

[@ButWhySeventeen]

I've never heard anything quite like this before, and I'm completely speechless. The music does such a phenomenal job of conveying the exact emotions of the scene throughout all its narrative shifts, Absolutely blown away!

[@SpiderSamYT]

Scott just made the words "emotional roller coaster" into a song. The fact you can capture a tense, sad, and hopeful feel by the end is just so amazingly well done. It fits really well with the animation but I'm really shocked I can still feel the emotion of the scene even without the visuals. Excellent work as always, this just makes me more hyped for the next episode 👍

[@kermitodingeverywhere]

I haven't seen many people really talk about the beginning here but I want to try and do it justice. The note blocks truly portray the tone of the respective scene beautifully, it fits with the despair and guilt plaguing purple and the confusion green has at that moment. Fantastic job Scott

[@happyendergaming3111]

Love the part at 3:52 where you can hear "purples tune" as those 3 main notes. Another thing I noticed is that the term for those notes in music is called a "broken chord" which hits deep knowing that purple is a broken character. Also, in case anyone wants the notes for that. I'm PRETTY sure its c, c#, g#

Aaron Grooves did perfect in the first half. The first half of the music perfectly describes the music world Green went into and it fits. The second half is also perfect. The second half music describes the situation and the reason of Purple’s actions to make up for no words. As the saying actions speak louder than words is very true for what Purple did. The music score does deserve a rating of 20/10 for Aaron Grooves part and your part.

So in a nutshell, Purple had daddy issues and wanted to do everything in his power to be recognized by him.

[@Gabriel-oq8gs]

It might be even more than that. The part with the flower petals (both as they blow away from the grave and while Purple is falling) makes me think that Purple might blame himself for his family falling apart. It might symbolize him thinking that if he had been able to reach his father's expectations, he might not have left, his mother's health might not have deteriorated like it did, and she might still be alive. He was still young when his father left, so he might think the whole thing is his fault.

[@kristaboeger6758]

I think so🤔

[@Terrifyger]

@@Gabriel-oq8gs I personally think the flower petals symbolize Purple having no family by his side. They were on his mother's grave, because he was alone once she died (since the father left them), and they do flutter around him when he falls, after King grabs the master block from him - it shows that King had doublecrossed him, even though Purple saw him as a father figure, so Purple once again lost someone he considered like family; not through death or abandonment, but through betrayal. And when he started crying as his father walked away from him, he was once again surrounded by the petals, just driving it home further that he was all by himself, with no family. Then, in the 30th episode, "The King", we get that scene where King is in his house and regrets his actions, and he pounds on the wall and then breaks through it. He then sees Purple again, sitting in that spotlight with the flower petals all around him - the same scene where he was crying in the 29th episode as his father walked away. Then, when King ran up to him and hugged him, the flower petals all blew away, meaning that Purple wouldn't be alone anymore, that he would now have the father figure he so desired. Honestly, it's really just beautiful, the way they come together. King lost his son and wanted him back, and Purple lost his father and longed for a father figure. They were both broken people, but they filled the holes in each other's lives. It works so well.

[@Whydoiexisthere-]

@@Terrifyger i always thought the petals symbolize how they react to failure/grief. In one scene in the king, Mango has broken glass around him, and purple has petals. The petals could symbolize that purple definitely tries to fix failure, but never goes over his limits, giving up when he is forced to (or just ditches when it happens). The broken glass means mango does not give a flying f about his limits or other precautions, he just wants to “fix” hat happened.

These make me so happy and I will never stop enjoying and appreciating the work that’s put into everything❤️❤️

[@OreoGamingGeek]

Jeez Louise man, every note of this is absolutely phenomenal...I'm not saying anything that others haven't said more eloquently but I have to express my own love for this series of music. The first section, where Green pursues Purple, absolutely put me back in the frame of mind of classic gaming from the 90s and 2000s, chasing after bad guys in a sunset desert backdrop, just like here in AVM. The mix of the low-level intensity of the synth backbeat with the analog clarinet and strings over the top conveyed the emotions well. Green, part of the squad of eternal optimists, trying to reach through to someone who's literally left him for dead on multiple occasions...and Purple's outburst is just excellent. Then, as he's telling the story of his life, and he recounts losing his mother, and only having his tyrant of a father to follow in the footsteps of, the unsureness of his own "voice" is so wonderful, it conveys so much while saying so little. But I think the true piece de resistance of the entire medley is the reconciliation on the mountaintop. Purple is at his lowest, finally realizing how his actions have affected everyone around him. His heart breaks as the strings crack and weep for him. But, as Green reassures him and the music swells...the chord as he puts on the wings and steels his resolve...that's what finally made the tears flow for me. The arpeggio of the rising strings into the IV chord... that's gotta be scientifically-proven to be, like, a Pixar chord or something. If you didn't get chills or goosebumps at all when hearing that chord, I've gotta question your humanity lol. Seriously! Even typing about it and hearing it in my mind, I'm getting chills. It's an *incredibly* well-written piece for a video series that now, thanks to your work, punches *far* above "just a silly internet video". This is incredible. Bravo!

[@BlueGreenSnake]

As a fellow musician who also likes to write orchestral cinematic music, the key of C# minor is quite powerful in my opinion, so it was a great choice for 'An emotional journey'. If I knew how to play the clarinet or violin I'd definitely give this a shot. Also, fun fact: in the animation, the G# at 3:07 (played by the trombones) behind Dark Blue, is actually correct, if there was a bass clef and the key signature on the left Great work as always, excited to see what you've made for episode 30!

Alan: Ok. Make it really express how broken purple is inside. Scott: Yes.

At 3:02 the music sound like “So I Ran”. Nice to see that the version with Lyrics have that at this part

Yoooo.. the music alone almost broke me but combined with the whole visuals and smooth animation… this is out of this world! Just pure perfection!! 👏👏👏✨

OH SO IT WAS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR ANIMATION VS. MINECRAFT? This is AMAZING. I wish I could write compositions like this! это очень круто

This is such a beautiful piece of art. calming, with a bit of sadness mixed in as well. This can literally tell a story all on it's own. The emotions I felt when watching Alan's vid were mostly bc of the music. The way you so wonderfully conveyed the emotions. * chef's kiss* You did such a good job on this piece, well done. Love it 👏👏👏👏*applause*

6:06 gave me so much hype and still gives me so much hype whenever I hear this with the scene, excellent work!

Why does 5:37 always make me cry even though i don’t see it?
