Music Producer WOWED by League of Legends Songs (Viego, Gwen, Kindred)

[@zalexzal]

3:51 omfg at that moment he understood Viego's lore from the music alone..... wow

[@themantsang]

the composer says thank you XD

[@Neltharion34]

right ? I was AMAZED how we was spot on on every single element of the backstory. So impressive.

[@ernestorodriguez791]

nuts

[@bigbungubingu8291]

It's actually crazy how they translated each part of Viego's story in his music. The beginning is almost like a storybook introduction 0:50, then Isolde's music box represents how he met her and was infatuated with her 1:05. He was happy, but there was something off about it 1:43. Then Isolde gets poisoned in his stead and dies as Viego locks himself in with her for months and he slowly gets deranged going through anger, denial and depression; everything between the last and 3:55. His troops scout out the blessed isles, he gets hope 4:00. He gets there and forces his way to the reviving waters, lead by Thresh 4:26. Isolde's spirit returns and panics, stabbing Viego through is chest with his own soul retaining sword and causing the ruination 4:40-5:57. 6:00 onward is what remains, the ruination, the shadow isles, the gaping hole in Viego's chest and the fractured Isolde.

[@twhaira]

great decision pairing up Gwen and Viego, both are really connected as character and also musically

[@LionmightOfficial]

It was a great batch suggestion by @Polskaherobrine, not me.

[@Raven11175]

@@LionmightOfficial Fun fact, parts of Viego and Gwen's theme are the same if played in reverse for both, showing more connection between the characters. There is a Ruined King novel called Ruination that is an awesome read and I would highly recommend it, there is also a Ruined King game that is a story rich casual rpg

[@LionmightOfficial]

[@virel3809]

I love symbolism of Kindred theme. Dance, dialogue of lamb and wolf

[@ShadeOnTheUtube]

Exactly, I believe it was confirmed that the piano represents Lamb and the cello Wolf. As I understand the musical ques, it tells of them communing, travelling and also of them hunting. And tells of Lamb's gentle end, and Wolf's violent end. All in one short musical composition.

[@77Zenin77]

i knew you would love the Kindred theme. I think its one of the most interesting in game champions and at the same time have one of the best champion theme. The cello and piano represent respectfully Wolf and Lamb who are basically two parst of the same entity. Wolf is the dreadfull one, the emotional one, fearsome hunter who chase down those who run. Lamb is the calm one, gentle, carying, swiftly taking those who accept their fate.

[@rhydondaddy]

The split condition of death. the peaceful acceptance of death or the fight against death, that you caught with Kindred and Wolf is exactly what they were aiming for. For those accepting of the death, Kindred offers a swift painless death, but those who run are hunted by Wolf.

[@Ocvirk420]

@@rhydondaddy what i love about kindred is it literally being death, then being so lonely that god split it in two so it could always have a friend. Then in the theme the piano obviously reflects lamb's vibe and cello is the wolf. Gorgeous composition, champ concept and overall design (except the gameplay which i dont care for much)

[@SiMeGamer]

I believe Gwen and Viego have some melodies that are literally inverted. Like, if you take their sheet music and play it backwards, some parts overlap perfectly. And Kindred is broken into its two parts of the Lamb and Wolf; piano and cello respectively. So beautiful.

[@facundodominguez1063]

yes isolde music box in viego's theme is inverted in gwen theme

[@yetiwallache9865]

Fun Fact about Viegos theme, the melody in the song is actually taken from another song made by riot called Blade of the Ruined King from the first pentakill album, the name of the song is actually named after his sword

[@quantumphayer]

which Viego is said "Ruined King"

[@yetiwallache9865]

@@quantumphayer Kind of implied when I said "named after his sword"

[@E-0n-exe]

Kindred was the reason I tried to play League of Legends I played 11 games never again But I will always love the music of the game. I even learned how to play the Kindred Piece on the Piano My best performance in the school concert Also PLEASE give a listen to the music for the game Spiritfarer (^ ^) Its such a beatiful game and beautiful music. pick any song you want from it its wonderful

[@NaviRyan]

@@E-0n-exe jinx music video was the same for myself. Glad the same studio is making arcane, however lol is just a bad game. The set up is confusing if you don’t know the meta you’ll have a tough time. The jungle position and what you should do is weird. Honestly if lol made a new game that wasn’t a bloated and didn’t have new champions playing on easy mode the game would be fun.

[@DrAlberts]

Kindreds theme is like Jhins. It gets better if you know their lore. In kindreds case the piano represents the lamb, who is the representation of the peaceful acceptance of death. The cello represents the wolf, who will chase those to try to cheat death with merciless hunger. And they combine as they come from one being who split itself in 2 (death presumably). "Never one without the other" is their quote when you choose them.

[@samvuca4]

the most intresting thing about kindred's theme is the duality that remains at the whole melody, it's like there's a hunt happening, starting with the sheep, then coming to the wolf, and at the end, them both getting the prey togheter

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Naturally when I saw you released more LoL champion theme reaction's I immediately queued up. That's my style sir. Kindred is in my top 5 themes it's so full of unrest like equal parts peaceful and malicious just below the surface.

[@GoddessofRuneterra]

i love how he feels the music in his soul and bones.

[@AgonizingDemise]

Kindred's theme is my favorite. It always makes me just close my eyes and listen so intensely.

[@azurclerx951]

Pairing Gwen, Viego AND Kindred themes makes probably the best compilation ever in my opinion

[@oussamazari1777]

12:11 " oh wow a little bit of nostalgia " did ma man just knew they were talking abt the past fro ma rythme change ? cs its true ! man u are a true musician

[@ernestorodriguez791]

crazy how musicians can pick up on stuff like that.

[@aarohunter_8718]

Camille, which is very Victorian with some harpsichord and a lot of strings. Renata Glasc, goes well with Camille since they are from Piltover/Zaun, Renata exudes cold control while Camille expresses her confidence along with a domineering position. Bel’veth, a void empress whose theme is very strange and otherworldly, a perfect representation of the void.

[@Fade.....]

Sheesh

[@PolskaHerobrine]

Thanks for picking these 3! All of the ones I suggested In the comment ya pointed at are similarly good and different, but honestly I'd be the most hype about the grouping of, Aurelion Sol, Hwei, and Taliyah which I called "The Creators" next. Putting together The Star Forger, The Visonary, and The Stoneweaver together sounds like quite a journey :D

[@LionmightOfficial]

Good choices!

[@midasvijfwinkel6116]

Seconded. Because of the theming but also because all of them are simply beautiful.

[@LEVl.K9]

you were on point with kindred theme, the eternal hunters are death itself! the lamb is the peacefull and beautiful side of death [ Piano ] , the wolf is the trill of the hunt for the ones that run from death [ Cello ] .

[@TheCreepypro]

glad to hear the music of this game once again, this time around the songs were very classical in nature but explored all kinds of different emotions to probably better represent their champions, it is very impressive that the composer has such high technical ability when it comes to this kind of music that he could use one style in such a variety of ways! the music of this game continues to peak my interest!

[@Crumbdumpster27]

Gwen's is easily my favorite theme. I also consider it to be my personal theme. It tells a complete story.

[@Phobos17]

Viego's theme is easily my favorite song they've ever released. I've listened to it on my own time ever since it was first released

[@MuscleWizard.]

Suggestion: Check out the character's wiki pages and see if your guesstimates on them are correct, because some of them are on point!

[@angelosaris5901]

From what I've seen from the other videos (and because I used to play an instrument in the past) it's probably because riot tries to make the champion theme/song tell their lore. That shows that this dude actually knows his shit unlike others

[@MuscleWizard.]

@@angelosaris5901 yeah, agreed. this also shows the unnoticed genius of league music producers by the general public.

[@zenith110]

When the Gwen theme really hits, just after lead vocalist wraps I have been DYING to hear castanets! I'm glad someone else heard that flamenco inspiration there! VIego (Diego) and Camavor - the Kingdom he used to rule - seem to be inspired by Spain. I love both pieces incredibly, they influenced me deeply along side FIddlesticks theme, Solar Eclipse Leona, Tahm Kench's theme, and so many more! These have granted me so much inspiration for both the darker and more fantastical D&D settings I want to create. There is so much emotion packed into each piece, it's really moving! I used to play trumpet and guitar, but stopped for different reasons... I am always moved by good music though, so cheers to everyone here!

[@professorparadox3064]

Not a LoL player, but Viego’s theme reminds me a lot of Kingdom Hearts, specifically the music surrounding Organization XIII

[@anxietychild8159]

[@battlestar8618]

I really like Kindreds and Viegos Theme, they sound so dramatic! Also what themes you could react to as a batch would be Kled, Samira and Rell. They are all from the region Noxus and are all amazing honestly!

[@Raven11175]

Haha seeing my comment on there was an extremely pleasant surprise, way to go!

[@angelosaris5901]

First of all , I play Lol and I have read almost all the lore from each champion and I have to say that you explaining the music reveals that each piece is the lore/journey of the champion in a song. Secondly I used to play Lyre(Cretan) and because of that I can confidently say that you have the best reactions from these songs because you are the only one that I've seen using this many music terms . Every time I see one of your videos I feel like I learned something new. Beautiful work as always

[@Kaomir350]

22:38 and 22:55 omg this is so well synchronised, thank you so much, this is my favourite league of legend sound track character 🦙

[@r.achmadrivaldi8598]

Kindred. The piano represent the thrill of hunt from wolf. Innocent cause he doesn't know what is emotions yet he feels it. The Cello represent the calmness of lamb. Dark yet know what is emotions, but she couldn't feel it. Lamb : Are you there dear wolf? Wolf : I am. Lamb : Are you sad? Wolf : I am. Lamb : What does it feels like? Wolf : A long hunt with no kill.

[@nero_x6456]

Its amazing that you are able to understand viegos person just by hearing hes theme

[@kameranin_arkasindaki_adam]

Viego has a story centered about him, the story tells itself in the music of the characters surrounding him. Viego represents despair, Gwen is the childish positive side of the girl she loved, kalistas music represents betrayal that he did. Thresh's music represents the sadism he unleashed for the souls, and Yorick's theme represents the ones who suffer from his actions. Kindred is the portrayal of death they made, the death they so long for but can't achieve

[@rafiki7136]

I'm craving to see you react to Taliyah, neeko, xayah and rakan themes, they have incredible sounds and super interesting tribal percussions, they are a delight to the ears✨️

[@BDenjoyer]

I would love to see a reaction to Warframe's Jade Shadows ost one day. The emotional rollercoaster in that ost alone made me cry

[@ernestorodriguez791]

Always super impressed by these videos! 👍🏾

[@moonlightmagician8279]

Kindred is death itself in Rune Terra, Lamb and Wolf, Lamb understanding emotions, but can never feel them, and Wolf feeling emotion, but can't understand it describing sadness as "a long hunt with no kill". If you accept your death, Lamb will put you down with a quick, single arrow from her bow, but if you run, if you fight, struggling against your death, Wolf will hunt you down and rip you to shreds.

[@campylegacy7908]

Not sure where it would fit into a video maybe as a bonus or extra, but league has a song for their TFT mode and its a mix with Steve Aoki , Called Remix Rumble, highly recommend as it combines several types of music!

[@midasvijfwinkel6116]

I really wonder if you could review K'Sante's theme at some point. I don't really know what to group it with, maybe Akshan and Nilah? Regardless, it's so beautiful it makes me cry every time I listen to it (assuming some time has passed between listens of course).

So glad you covered Viego's theme!! Definitely one of, if not THE, coolest one of the champion themes in my opinion. I love Riot Games' orchestral capabilities, they're a really good studio and their music powerfully encapsulates and conveys the atmospheres and/or stories of the champions. Every piece of music I follow from TF2 to LoL to Risk of Rain, you seem to cover. Best regards from a big fan

[@SinisterZephyr]

For more League champion themes, another interesting batch could be Kled, Samira, and Swain. These three are all from the same region (Noxus) but each give off very different sounds/feelings

[@hourglasspop]

Hi! I do have a recommendation for some soundtrack for you to if you would like. Homestuck is very expansive in its ost, especially considering it has twelve (i believe?) albums total to its impressive repertoire. Given that it is quite long, ill give you a few I think you may like and then a personal favorite. 1. Aggrieve (Violin Refrain) 2. Moonsetter (any version is a treat) 3. Three in the Morning (A longer one, personally I enjoy the slick rendition but aftermath is the best overall) 4. Finally, At the price of oblivion is certainly a classic in homestuck. Some very personal favorite recommendations are: Iron Infidel (an pseudo religious opera song spoken in a fictional language), Indigo Archer, Teal Seer especially, Trials and Execution (especially if you love harpsicord), The Blind Prophet, Bronze Rebel, and Rain off of the homestuck Medium album. I understand if you prefer to pick your own to listen to, that's fair. But due to its 552 song composition, I figured you may appreciate some pointers. I could seriously recommend so many songs, it is very hard to pick, but I hope you enjoy!

[@adamevaskevich5528]

A good 3 piece combo to listen to is Volibear's, Ornn's, and Udyr's Themes from League of Legends

Bard and Aurelion sol theme have to be listened because throught them we feel like roaming in the infinite space.

He's resolution. on Jax theme we can feel how the character has to make effort to become stronger yo fight the void.

[@Th3_Sh4dy_Gr3y]

I think you should react to the Roblox game "Pressure" soundtracks. They are made by No Longer Null, and are inspired by ultrakill, but they're fairly short sadly personally i'd recommend Search party (length 6:08), Eyes in the Skies (length 2:27), The Park On The Old Mountain, and some shorter songs like Wait of The World, Persistence, Knock Knock (length 1:22/0:48/0:41 respectively), ENRAGED, and Voluntary Suicide.

[@slenderjaguarlol1382]

Viego's theme really reasonates to Tchaickovsky's ''Romeo & Juliet'' style set up, but in their own chaotic, romantic and haunting way. Meanwhile Gwen's theme is the opposite, it's hopeful, lonely and also promising end. (Viego's theme is Gwen's theme played backwards!). Kindred's theme is a representation of Life leading to Death and each person can choose the peaceful death by the lamb or the gruesome and violent death by the wolf. Love all 3 themes!🐑🐺
