2nd one is one of the 6 battle themes of sumeru. And the 1st one is the general theme of sumeru. Like i don't think it plays in game but rather different parts of that ost are explored more and then those play in game(not sure though). Overall, almost 60% of sumeru is out and it has 6 hours of ost tracks combined. Rest of sumeru will be released later this year(actually another part is getting released in a few days) and hopefully will further expand the music of sumeru. I think the whole ost of sumeru will have 300 tracks making it 8-9 hours worth sumeru playlist.

[@whistlegirl5726]

General Sumeru theme played in the 3.0 trailer (big chunk of it, at least). Also in the Sumeru previews, I think? But yeah, not in the game proper.

[@inquisitor200]

it plays in cutscenes too, like when you were first given your akasha terminal

If you like Genshin music, here is what you can listen to : 3 concerts : - Reflexion of Spring (Liyue - China) 24 min - Melodies of an endless Journey 2021 1h43 - Melodies of an endless Journey 2022 1h14 5 boss music : Tartaglia, Azhdaha, Signora, Raiden Shogun, Scaramouche "Realm of tranquil eternity" 10 min - same kind of video than Sumeru but with music from Inazuma (Japan) Amound the many soundtracks we have, I would suggest "Hustle and Bustle of Ormos"(Sumeru) and "Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie" In my opinion, Azhdaha and Signora battle theme are the best !

I'd probably just be smiling so brightly while playing my violin with them, you can practice your part as much as you can but mothing beats hearing the whole piece with everyone playing their parts, it's beautiful

[@drpaimon2369]

Fun fact: Part of the soundtrack of this game was composed and recorded in Abbey Road studios. They've got a short behind the scenes video on their youtube channel where they talk about the creation of the soundtrack for this region. I recommend the Scaramouche boss theme next. It has a completely different flavour from the pieces you've reacted to so far, but it is honestly one of my favourite themes in the entire game, it's an absolute masterpiece. If you do react, make sure you've got a video with all the phases and not just the final phase.

[@imnotreanalbertospynotatal6968]

If you're enjoying GENSHIN music, I would really recommend "la Signora boss theme". Great video 😳

the first one is the Sumeru main theme, the second one is one of the battle themes, there are more than a hundred tracks for Sumeru region.

sumeru's music is amazing especially when you realize that they used the golden ratio for the compositions to perfectly fit the theme of the region: academics, knowledge, and wisdom

[@doctorpc3052]

the fun here is you can hear this tracks all the time when u play, the second one is for battle in general, the firts one is the main theme of the region but, you can hear it in some parts of the map, and the tracks in game change depdning of the day time, like they´re tracks for sunset, dawn, night and it´s just so beautiful, you can just be still in a part of the map, look the horizon and lisent the music, mihoyo truly create marvelous ost for this game, it amaze me every time they do this kind of mini concerts, the effort of all the people behind of its just fantastic, I really recommend all the tracks, liyue region inspired in china have really greats tracks too

[@p4ntom87]

Scaramouche boss ost from genshin impact is a banger and I definitely recommend it

[@kyledepaepe194]

The first song was the theme of the region of Sumeru. The second was one of several battle themes that plays when enemies are nearby. The music in Genshin is incredibly well done. The game gets flak for being a gacha game and I get that. But I think the music deserves recognition. It's so good. One of my favorite tracks from the game was only in the game for like a month? It was in a limited time event. It's called Die Mittsommernacht Fantasie. Highly recommend.

0:42 I'm pretty sure the last one you wtched was Inazuma's theme. Inazuma is based on Japan not China. The Zhongli theme that you watched however is based on China because he's a character from Liyue. So Liyue is based on Ancient China while Inazuma is based on Ancient Japan

I love that this is supposed to be a reaction to the music of Genshin impact but I am concerned that he postured himself as a professional musician and producer. He knew minimal about the instruments including the traditional western instruments and gave very little commentary. There was very little insight into any of the actual music production or orchestration. I am only writing this comment because he is soliciting services but doesn’t seem to add any value or knowledge on the video he is reacting to. And now that I have made this concerning comment I will still watch more videos to investigate this channel further. I just hope that there is more in depth commentary on other videos or I hope there is less touting about being a professional and no substance to back up the claims…

[@springday3842]

@@aethernity8270 ​ @aethernity8270 "Hammered dulcimers of various types are now very popular not only in China, but also Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, Iran, and Pakistan. The instruments are also sometimes known by the names "santoor" and "cymbalom". This instrument had an influence on the Thai classical instrument, known as Khim (ขิม). Another theory of how the yangqin came into contact with the Chinese is through the Silk Road from Mongolia. At a glance, the Silk Route stretches almost 5,000 miles reaching from China to the Middle East, including Iran (Persia). The Iranian santur, a dulcimer, has existed since ancient times. If any dulcimer was to influence China by land, it is likely to be this instrument. The technical structure of the santur is different in the way the tuning pegs are place, the bridges and the mallets. The yangqin's tuning pins are set in parallel instead of a 90-degree angle down at the side. The mallets of the santur also differ from those of the yangqin - they are made of wood with finger grip, designed to let the players perform by gripping the two mallets between their fore and middle fingers. Both modern and earlier yangqin mallets did not include finger grips. The bridge of the yangqin consist of long, single pieces of wood with many protruding "stubs" supporting the strings unlike the santur, which uses a number of small, individual chesspiece-like bridges." So unless you are the actual person playing the instrument in the piece, it is difficult to definitely differentiate between the instruments. I as well initially suspected it was Yangqin but at a closer shot it looked more like the Santur from the grips on the mallets. Either way, there is no need to be rude by flat out saying 'wrong' because the Yangqin does exist and it is logical to think it was as there is an Erhu present as well. There are ways to correct and contribute to discussion in a polite way where everyone can benefit and learn.
