So thankful Aeralie has returned for vocals. She's amazing.

[@AeralieBrighton]

Mizako 96 dude, you and me both! I'm happy I was able to join the team again, these people are so freaking talented!!

[@AeralieBrighton]

(And thank you for your kind words)

[@astrea4020]

Aeralie Brighton No problem at all. This game is art, you and Gareth make it a masterpiece.

[@adityaneer]

Aeralie Brighton Awesome work u guys have done. both the music and the game is mind blowing.

[@xtheamazingax]

You said it, pal. I can't wait for the game to come out.

[@AzjaVhera]

This song should make Guiness World Record for "Most people made to cry when listening to a single song."

I did.

We all cried

true, me included

I cried

It was more than x3. x200,000, at least.

[@deifiedtitan]

Not gonna lie mate, 6 years since release and this still moves me to tears. Your scores for the Ori series were both powerful and moving. I can only thank you for what you did. Genuinely beautiful work.

[@AeralieBrighton]

Thank you ❤️

[@hammadkhan8173]

Love ur work

[@user-lt1vu5oc8w]

No. Thank you. :)

[@The28studio]

Aeralie Brighton always love your voice :D

[@scalerzodiark]

Aeralie Brighton it wouldn't feel the same without your vocals

[@mhfa5037]

Hey Aeralie, so happy to find you finally lol :) Any solo project? I'm a huge of your works after Ori Soudntrack, What about the vidoe for Unbroken? I was looking forward to see the full video of that masterpiece!! Loved that track!

[@ara-nv4dj]

God is a musician. His name is Gareth Coker

[@alejandroleon7800]

And this musician make the ark music too

[@scrp1o]

You heard about Hans Zimmer or Ramin Djawadi yet?

[@snazzyjovialwyrm3314]

@@scrp1o They're good, but IMO Gareth Coker is better. Hans nor Ramin have made me feel like how Gareth's music does.

[@ClarkusMarkus]

@@scrp1o Gareth is honestly better imo. I like them all though.

[@XLeon_S_KennedyX]

Moon Studios is like Studio Ghibli but in games.

[@lampham5525]

Look like walt disney

[@wolf241]

What would happen if they teamed up

[@KenzieRetro]

@weirdalfanatic2788 YES PLEASE

[@Merryianna]

@weirdalfanatic2788 No please, they might ruin it

[@Merryianna]

@weirdalfanatic2788 I just think it's better if the same studio would be able to make a movie. Because then it would be in the right hands. Moon Studios know what they are doing and what they did to the Ori games (in a positive way).

[@DragonOfDrakness1992]

Having you with the piano doing the trailer was a very nice touch! Excited to hear the music this game will have

[@FonteneleNXT]

I just coveered myself the theme on piano with some orchestral instruments! Mind taking a look? =D

[@The28studio]

DragonOfDrakness1992 that says a lot . Microsoft are fully behind the Studio , that's great in my opinion .

[@FoxSqueeArt]

I remember straight up crying when i saw this game announcement. This game series and composer means a lot to me.

[@-finntheender-8438]

1:43 Realization sinks in.

[@rictuserectus6686]

Jfc it's happening again. This game could not possibly be higher on my hype list.

[@daniheart0670]

well for me, theres the cuphead DLC, this game, SMM2, fnafVR, chapter 2 of deltarune, and a bunch a crap

[@Laphrai]

This genuinely stabs me. I've never had a piece of music pierce me in this way before. It hurts on a level I thought wasn't possible. I fear this game may set a bar so high nothing can match.

[@wyattcoe8825]

Another soul stirring composition. I choked when I saw you on stage. The sublime soundtrack from the first game is something I cherish. I cannot express how delighted I am to know that there is more Ori to come and that your incredible artistry will accompany it. I thought I heared Aeralie's voice in there too, absolutely magical, so glad she could return as well. The finishing chords are familiar and spellbinding. Thank you Gareth we love you!

[@AeralieBrighton]

Wyatt Coe you guys completely just made my day hahaha THANK YOU!!!!!

[@wyattcoe8825]

Aeralie Brighton OMG hi, you are so welcome! can't wait to hear more of your lovely voice!

[@MonoFlax]

Ori and the will of the wisps was the first trailer in a long time that actually made me tear up. I teared up over a trailer. Huge respect to both the visual design of this game and the SUPERB soundtrack. Still not bored by the first one, I could listen to it over and over again, but damn, I am thankful you guys get to continue doing an amazing job on these C:

[@lemonghostly]

The trailer though.... I'm- Ori! Stahp cutting those onions!! *tears*

[@AzjaVhera]

I would buy this song by itself for $100. The Ori soundtrack is so amazing.

[@antoyno]

Sir you have created one of the most beautiful musics I have ever listened to in my life. True masterpiece.

[@valion3]

I'm in love with the music. Soon i will play the games too. Can't wait...

[@mayogamer1624]

Do it

[@AzjaVhera]

It's a real pity that there aren't any reaction videos when the KZbinr actually knew who Gareth Coker is. So many mispronunciations. So many people just like," Oh who is this?" Without Gareth Coker and Aeralie Brighton, Ori and the Blind Forest would not be the same game. I would never have even bought the game if it wasn't for the amazing soundtrack.

[@wolffjaw]

I know right?! I totally agree!

[@gabrielpds93]

They recognize Gareth in Max Dood's reaction

[@ceralor]

EXTREMELY delayed response, but I almost wish I was a youtuber who did that. I was listening and when it darkened and I heard the initial piano I was like "Wait...that sounds..." and saw his name come up and just covered my mouth and went "NO. OH MY GOD." and was in tears as soon as the motif from The Sacrifice started right at the beginning. I then promptly showed this teaser to someone riiiight after they finished the original for the first time. Oops.

[@norikoblastercolors9018]

When I heard this song without watching the trailer my mind created a story: A little girl lived happy in a wonderful land almost like Wonderland but all of this world was in her mind. With the pass of the years in the real world she realized that none of the things she believed in her childhood is real and she starts to corrupt herself like almost all people. Desperate, the girl returned to her world but at that time that land with which she lived her childhood was almost devastated thanks to a source of corruption. The girl cries when she sees all the devastation but at the end she stands up with determination and looks towards the source, determined to destroy it.

[@adriarose778]

I love that idea. The trailer song is epic. With this story concept, it has the potential to become a masterpiece. I encourage you to bring the story to life to share with the world.

[@dantefitts]

Thanks for born and make this... The ost is like the 60% of that videogame.. The whole game is a masterpiece, but the music.. damn!

[@mudraofwitches]

When I heard the first few notes of Sacrifice...I broke. Thank you for composing the next OST as well!

[@Draiter]

You sir, and the incredible Moon Studios, are angels among humans... This is unbelievable... This is extremely amazing beyond words... Why aren't video games officially considered art again ???... These people seriously need to have a word with you guys...

[@asuasuasu]

people who doesn't categorize video games as art simply doesn't play video games. lots of ppl just sees the fat kid stereotype shooting everyone in a FPS, not all the genres that exists.

[@PanRokador]

Instead, they considered video games a disease... how disappointing and disrespectful.

[@Hypergen-]

Gareth Coker is a god among men, I'm incredibly excited to know that we are going to be graced with your masterpieces once again in the sequel.

[@fl00fydragon]

words cannot even come close to describing how i felt when i first listed to this piece as i was watching the E3 conference

[@Komatosik24]

Such a pleasure recognizing Gareth's style in music Especially when he puts humming and singing I have never played in Ori,but spent about 5 years playing in ARK and listening to his beautiful soundtracks Thank you for childhood legend

[@ben_angel]

Play the Ori games now!

[@leseb2009]

A genius, Gareth is nothing else. The greatest composer of all.

[@Saibott55]

Thank you, it is so beautiful it touches my soul the very deepest point. The way the piano starts in the beginning in a familiar melody but just a bit more sad and mysterious and finally when it transitions to the end is undescribable. I cannot wait for this game!

[@InfaReddBeam]

TheREALSaibot facts

[@KiltedSatyr]

The moment I saw you on stage, Gareth, I knew we were all about to be in for an amazing treat

[@jukesy1992]

jared sawtelle agreed. You know what's sad though? I have heard stories of people who just called this conference a bunch of indie games. Mostly commenters on ign's channel. Can anyone recommend a more open minded place for e3 coverage please?

[@AzureGhost117]

Thank god someone said what's on my mind^

[@KiltedSatyr]

jukesy1992 you could take a look at the guys at outsidexbox and outside xtra. they take a look more at the games than the conference itself, but to are currently there testing games, giving commentary and some predictions. if nothing else they are more entertaining than IGN

[@KiltedSatyr]

I mean seriously. The moment I saw Gareth I felt a sense of fear and excitement and sadness and happiness. I gasped and hoped to see the glimpse of an Ori sequel. Just from the stump in the beginning frames I knew the beauty about to unfold. Moon Studios and Gareth Coker truly wove magic into a masterpiece.

[@AzjaVhera]

It's a pity that everyone doing the "Ori and the Will of the Wisps" reaction videos on KZbin never know who Gareth is... But then people like you and me are like," Oh my god, is that him." (screams when his name appears on screen and you know what is coming next)

[@LeopardSamurai]

What a masterpiece of music. Gareth knows how to touch my heart. I'm not expecting him to top The Blind Forest. Whatever he does for this game i'll still be happy.

[@MMM-yg7rz]

Siento lo mismo, como los extraño a mis abuelos amados. Lamento tu pérdida

[@Hyruleprayer]

He did...

[@richardlsp7670]

Damn!!! I want to meet Ori. Why isn’t Ori real in our reality? Why???😢

[@FoxSqueeArt]

Kinda cringe ngl

[@aboundedsumo7984]

this song legit made me cry during the reveal(don´t know if it was joy or sadness). it´s a perfect blend betwen instruments and vocals. especially in the end.

[@PetreMihai94]

Whole soundtrack is heart piercing but 1:05 to 1:25... It's soul piercing, it's just an out of this world resonance

[@Jesse4Reall]

I hate how I cry so easily to this kind of thing...

[@kelvinccp]

Omg Aeraline is singing the vocals again !!!

[@ExitMothership]

It is unbelievable how Gareth Coker could take this already perfect composition of the previous game and was able to engage so much more on it. It's breaking my heart in so many ways. These pauses he sets in the theme starting at 1:24 are having such a huge impact and leave so much thoughts about what must have happened in the meantime. Let alone that this is probably the main theme which will be built upon for the rest of the soundtrack. Thinking back to the ending songs in the last game I feel like we're in for a spectacular if not the soundtrack of the year. These guys make magic happen right before our eyes, I'm positive this still is gaming history.

[@garethcokermusic]

"These pauses he sets in the theme" You are absolutely right. Sometimes the most powerful musical device is to be restrained and do nothing at all :)

[@GamingwBix]

Ori = the most beautiful game score in video game history imo. Thank you, Gareth, for giving me the feels every time I boot up the game and/or hear your beautiful compositions. The soundtrack is in regular rotation in my car. I cannot wait to hear what you have in store for us in Will of the Wisps! It can't come soon enough!

[@dedale2610]

Words would be unable to express what your art makes me feel. Thank you.

[@silverelgrandlow6298]

Had to stop by the roadside because I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of this piece. Needed a moment to appreciate this masterpiece!

[@lavest971]

Thank you Gareth Coker! You know us very well; I would like to personally say your music moves me and I think I speak for many when I say that we are absolutely thrilled that you're composing for Will of the Wisps!

[@Balnazzardi]

Gareth, I hope you have long career with Moon Studios/video games in general, you truly are one of the most talented composers! And such great to hear Aeralie's amazing voice again as well :) This teaser truly was the highlight of E3 2017 for me and cant wait to hear the full soundtrack!

[@FlamedramonX]

i was working on one screen, and had the E3 on another one and was listening with headphones without really looking at the screen with the E3. i altmost hurt my neck because of how fast i turned my head to the screen with the E3 the moment i heard the familiar tune

[@CegeRoles]

The vocals and instrumentation from 1:43 to the end are the most beautiful music I've ever seen. It manages to be both gut-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time.

[@GhostTheAssassin]

Goosebumps at 1:42 😪

[@primalwasanthapiyasinghe4426]

Question: From below pc games, which one do you think is the best? 1) GTA 5 with EUPHORIA Physics technology and RAGE game engine. 2) Ori and the Will of the Wisps with heart-warming storyline and amazing soundtracks. Answer -- Ori and the Will of the Wisps

[@Rocky28447]

Aeralie, please never stop singing

[@DarkAnomaly]

I can't put into words the emotional impact your music has on me. I 'm usually quite hardy but ever since I played Ori and the Blind Forest the game just left me aching but in a good way. Even now when I play it and hear the music, especially during the Prologue oh my Lord I just go to pieces. No doubt this will be another emotional roller coaster too. I'm so glad you're doing this again and like last time I'll be buying the Sound Track when it becomes available, you deserve all the support you can get.

[@starflame34]

And they got Aeralie Brighton to do the vocals again, nice! Thanks for putting this up!

[@quyra]

On the E3 trailer, i saw "Gareth Cocker" and i was like" Oh I know that name but where ..." And then I heard the first three note. I knew it was Ori. I just picked up a tissue because i knew I was going to cry x)

[@MartinAslaksen]

Fantastic ambient, fantastic piano, fantastic vocals......FANTASTIC

[@aliceXt1500]

Finally found a music calms me for years🖤🖤:(

[@ExitStatement]

Gives me chills! So unbelievably excited for this soundtrack. Gareth Coker is incredible. The score of Ori and the Blind Forest is one of the best out there.

[@Rizako90]

God, just this music makes me hyped af for this game. Praise Jebus for Aeralies vocals

[@pochipz2483]

Gareth Coker has the power of tears. ;_;

[@MarvelousIggy]

The music and visuals without any context of the first game, sold me on play the first one. I cried so beautiful.

[@Zetuay]

i still get teary eyed when i hear this song. Ori is such a masterpiece and the music makes it even more so. Cant wait to hear the entire soundtrack.

[@Mrjmaxted0291]

Whoever does the vocals at the end of this is extremely talented. That bit at the end really ties the whole thing together.

[@omarnagy8758]

Your fingertips on the piano touch the hearts of our souls thank you for this great Music

[@marion531]

this song gave me the chills

[@hystericrolle]

I almost screamed when you appeared on the screen with the piano! I absolutely love the first ori game and I know I'm going to love this one too. Thank you for making beautiful music for games, can't wait to hear the whole soundtrack for Ori and the will of wisps :D

[@The28studio]

rouslain I screamed and jumbed around ..I didn't expect it !!

[@user-lt1vu5oc8w]

I found the trailer from youtube, and not from the E3 Conference. I knew an Ori sequel was annouced, and I was pleasantly surprised and prepared for an emotional return. Or so I thought. It wasnt the soft bereft melody of the piano, or seeing Koru's feather again. it wasn't seeing creatures at the windmill that looked very much like our hero. It was that dead elder tree battered by the storm, and the orchestra's crescendo of ...wailing despair that broke me. I'm not a crying man, but seeing Koru's offspring and Ori standing in graveyard, and feeling that sense of grieving the music and trailer conveyed... Wow. I'm scared of sequels and more than that, E3 hype, but this..? I'm looking forward to this.

[@giornogiovanna2537]

Jesus i can't stop crying. Thank you for this

[@BladeFalcon95]

1:44 - 2:00 best part imo

[@wyattcoe8825]

This track is priceless. So many memories and such emotion!

[@PyrozPlayground]

Oof.. when the vocals come in.. just goosebumps down my spine, and tears down my face. :'(

[@Redd_Is_Here]

After playing both games, I would really like to thank you Gareth Coker. These already great games gained so much more emotion and power from your music. These two games easily top my favorite soundtracks in any movie or game. Thank you so much for these
