SEEKERS OF THE STORM OST WHEN. SOME OF CHRIS' BEST WORK

[@zyke612]

[@snoboila4196]

…con lentitud ponderosa and the rain formerly known as purple are still my favs but SEEKERS OF THE STORM OST SLAPS HARDER THAN IT REASONABLY SHOULD

[@Rubberman202]

It's always nice to see a composer join in on one of these reaction streams, and it was incredibly gracious of Chris to stick around and answer questions. Dan's interview with Chris on his podcast channel should also be very nice.

[@thend4427]

Does that change your image of him?

[@Rubberman202]

@@thend4427 The jury is still out on that, I'm afraid. I'm not a huge fan of his stance of covers of his music, even if he's within his legal right doing so, and his advice to "stop listening and start reading" for would-be composers still rubs me the wrong way, to say nothing of the imaginary person he made up just to avoid answering what DAW he uses. Even if it is just his sarcasm at play, I don't much care for it.

[@plasmodius9449]

@@Rubberman202 context? What exactly happened?

[@Rubberman202]

@@plasmodius9449 What I just described is on his FAQ page on his website, on it he says covers of his music are fine, but that the cover artist is not allowed to monetize said cover at all, and that they're "legally obligated to be creative". He also wastes 5 questions dodging actually answering what DAW he uses and in general comes off like a smartass about the whole thing, when most other composers would just freely say what DAW they use. I'm told he's just a sarcastic guy, but this, coupled with him telling inspiring composers to "stop listening and start reading" create this image of him being somewhat pretentious and condescending, which clearly isn't the case given how he behaved in this stream's chat or in Dan's interview with him. Still, the fact that this is how he presents himself on his own website just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[@cataclystp]

@@Rubberman202 I lost a lot of respect for him after seeing that a month or two ago. he also had a comment on one his videos where someone asked how many songs he abondons/throws away and he gave a smartass response like "none, composers who act as professionals don't throw songs away". really get the sense that the acclaim of the ost and game really got to his head. incredible musician and composer, awful attitudes.

[@orangejuice3235]

And so they left, more Risk than Rain.

[@braixendon5496]

Well thought out meme 👍

[@ninjakai03]

CHRIS JOINING WAS SO COOL OMG

[@wortwortwort117]

43:54 Love the reaction to the jazz. This was my first reaction while fighting the voidling.

[@ottergamer3995]

Of course I missed the stream Chris stopped by in! I'm so happy to see you appreciate this music as much as I do, while also giving me more reasons to love it!

[@NotIncogneko]

these are the kinds of songs you wish you could see live performances of someday...

[@reewott]

Bro imagine this song poping up on the radio someday

[@MitchFromFBS]

This was a great showing of this type of format. Excellent music, excellent commentary, excellent advice, and the composer's here too. Risk of Rain 2 is one of my personal favorites so this was awesome to see. Personal pipe dream is seeing someone break down the soundtrack of The Dog Island like this. It's an ost comprised almost entirely of music with an acoustic guitar lead, so it puts time into exploring the different ways the same lead instrument can express different emotions depending on technique and accompanying instrumentation. It's really got some stand out compositions that most people have never heard before.

[@tOGGLEwAFFLES]

I love Once in a Lullaby especially cause I'm an oboe player myself. I can also kind of play English horn but that's just because most of the keys needed are the same except in more extreme ranges.

[@demax5332]

Two games that I think really need more attention specifically because of their unique soundtracks are Inscryption and Everhood. They are probably some of the best OSTs I've listened to and I really hope they can get more love.

[@theguywhoseinsideyourwalls9153]

YES DEFINITELY

[@jonacarweenie]

Everhood is a hidden gem

[@emerald3616]

I'm surprised no one caught that those instruments in A Boat Made From a Sheet of Newspaper and The Face of The Deep were talkboxes, not really guitars or synths. A talkbox essentially takes the sound of an instrument, usually a synth, and then runs the sound through a tube into your mouth where the musician can shape and contour the sound in the same way we can with the sounds that come from our vocal chords, essentially mimicking human speech. You can't really make consonant sounds and mostly have to stick to vowel sounds because consonants are created by manipulating forced air out of our lungs to interact with our mouth in specific ways rather than manipulating and contouring sound created by our vocal chords and also because it's hard to make consonants with a tube in your mouth, but the musician can still mouth words like "yeah" to make the instrument "say" them. The talkbox is technically an effect that manipulates the existing sound of an instrument but the sound of the talkbox is so distinct that it is usually referred to on its own and sometimes as its own instrument.

[@cryptcarts]

chris himself calls it a synth that has a wah effect and guitar distortion on it

[@kyrax9462]

But it's not a talk box though, at least for newspaper it's not, Chris has a comment on another reaction video where he says it's a keyboard/synth going through a bunch of distortion and pitch bend.

[@Bluenebula]

you can do that kind of effect with something called a formant filter, a few popular synths like omnisphere (which chris uses) and serum have that feature

[@Erik-le9ui]

You should check out the Deadbolt OST! Another banger soundtrack from Chris!

[@notbulger]

Now that you are done with Risk of Rain music I recommend checking out DEADBOLT's OST, it's a game made by the same guys, and the music is made by Chris as well (and with some of his friends). I believe Chris said that it was one of his best works, but I might just be paraphrasing.

[@Encucumbered]

I feel like Team Fortress 2 music deserves a mention. The soundtrack is quite different to most game music, but one of my absolute favourites.

[@AstoraNoble]

YESSS it has a super specific orchestral style that perfectly fits the game somehow, i love so much about tf2

[@thrillhelm419]

It hates me so much!

[@Astryder]

Seduce me!

[@NihilityJade]

Ah man, I just missed the stream, but it's still gonna be a blast to watch you react to this soundtrack!

[@Shmover34]

I love the goofyness this amazing ost gives to the voidling.

[@EliasHernandez-td8bg]

Unfortunately haven't been able to tune in while you're live. Really love these videos/streams.

[@tnsquidd]

The Face of the Deep has more saxophone than the rest of the RoR soundtrack combined

[@gammaboy4568]

Not quite sure where this is coming from yet, but the whole track gave me King Crimson vibes.

[@lenehammero7274]

At the end of Fathomless Tomb from Deep Rock Galactic, there is this part that hits suuuuper hard too. It's supposed to put into perspective how you're one tiny little dwarf on a massive, beautiful, deadly planet. There is also a game called Xenosaga thats pretty garbage but has an amazing OST and has a sick song called Godsibb.

[@Thatasian115]

My friends and I while fighting the Voidling say it death by casual jazz

[@SinfulCreature]

Seen it mentioned here before, but I totally recommend the soundtracks to Inscryption, The Neverhood and Team Fortress 2. Some soundtracks that have stuck with me to this day!

[@archaic_fool]

18:12 I love the monsoon callback

[@NearlyHollow]

Now I want him to listen to soundtracks like the ultrakill one. I want to see what he’ll think

[@BifOfficialReal]

I'm gonna go ahead and recommend a soundtrack since it's been a while, and it's gonna be a game I've fallen in love with recently: Road 96. The soundtrack is just so unique, unlike any other soundtrack I've heard. The game as a whole is unlike any other I've played. I think you'd love it, so please consider having a listen to it!

[@garnetrulz859]

With the next DLC around the corner, i want to ask if you’ll listen to the soundtrack for it

[@lordorange9234]

4:30 I really thought bro was gonna say: "Which is sometimes how I feel some of you are, when you aren't subscribing"

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

Always loved the little sprinkle of the Prelude right at the end of Who Can Fathom the Soundless Depths. The other two RoR albums are already consistent (and phenomenal) experiences to listen to with how many motifs are shared amongst the songs within them, but the little reprise really sells this album being its own experience even when entirely removed from the game. Of course, I always end up listening to all three back to back anyways, but its the thought that counts.

[@meteormashup8497]

Sorry it's been 10 months but Who Can Fathom the Soundless Depths is actually all (or at least mostly) Prelude In Db Major, but the second half rather than the first

[@sentientmission4579]

You probably won't see this but the newest album for the newest dlc just released and it is still by Chris Christodoulou (seekers of the storm)

[@AkaThicc]

your devious laughter gets me everytime XD love it also love the vids keep it goin so glad you checked out RoR2 chris is an absolute madman

[@biomech7360]

check out Deadbolt ost

[@gominho9424]

My new goal in life is to make a music that makes Dan go like this 45:00 lol

[@benjaminurra2019]

I recommend listening to the Ace Combat OST! my favorite tracks are Zero (from Ace Combat Zero), Archange (from Ace Combat 7), and Blockade (from Ace Combat 4)

[@liltrchoj8662]

Gonna throw a wild one out there but the Jet Set Radio Future ost (JSRF) is probably my all time favorite-

[@polygondeath2361]

Note that prelude in d flat was originally composed by Chopin, and the preludes are not in fact proceeded by a fugue, but rather by other preludes, all in Op. 28

[@SectisGaming]

This was a great watch/listen very much enjoyed. Since you've liked RoR 1 & 2 you should check out the *Crypt of the NecroDancer ost* & the *Hotline Miami 1 ost*

[@kevinwells9751]

Crypt of the NecroDancer is excellent, both the game and the OST!

[@Doinge]

12:16 - 12:35 is just an incredibly funny joke and you don't even smile :D

[@Boss24601]

I highly recommend giving a listen to the BPM: Bullets Per Minute soundtrack. Every song is amazing. Whoever you are if you see this, listen to it

What happened to the base game ost stream? 1 and Survivors are still up but 2 is just gone

[@jlow6092]

[@zakay_]

[@Yummyburger69]

Absolutely fantastic stuff as usual, always enjoy your reactions!! If you want some more indie game music that’s a super dense and enjoyable listen, I can’t recommend the Shovel Knight OST enough. Give it a listen!

[@cyberethereal]

I feel compelled to suggest the Rain World OST as a step after Risk of Rain, though I'm not quite sure whether that makes sense to anyone except me; maybe I just want more spotlight on Rain World's music. Rain World's OST sometimes does not sound the way it does in-game due to the way threat music works, but it still feels atmospheric and bizarre just like the game itself. A lot of Rain World doesn't have music either, it's designed to sound and feel very immersive, so the music just kicks in either in set locations or to indicate when you're in danger, which is _a lot._

[@Cactus_Boulder]

Man I’m sad I missed the stream

[@FloofersFX]

Another indie games OST I can never get over is, that pixely gladiator game, Domina. Domina has heccin' great music!

[@Pronoia3421]

[@godlyvex5543]

You know, I think it could be cool if you played a rhythm game. When it comes to other game suggestions, like for calamity or undertale I'm kinda like 'eh...' because it's a huge time commitment and doesn't have much to do with music other than containing it, but I think playing one of 7th beat games' games could be fun. Their two rhythm games both involve just pressing one button to a beat, and both take their respective concepts in interesting places (in my opinion). Their two games are 'A Dance of Fire and Ice' and 'Rhythm Doctor'.

Why even have a second number in a time signature? You can always normalize it anyways. Can't it just be a single number plus a bpm?

[@DankLonk1980]

A time signature itself is a fraction, 4/4 means it's divided into quarter notes and there will be a total of four quarter notes within that measure (the notes aren't strictly quarter notes but they all add up to those 4 quarter notes) so when we go into something like 3/4, it's saying the measure is a total of 3 quarter notes. Things can get more complicated and you can divide things into 8th notes and have things like 6/8 where there are 6 eight notes per measure. Or you can have it in 5/4 where there are 5 quarter notes per measure

[@Bliss467]

@@DankLonk1980 yeah I'm aware of that but 6/8 can just be 6 with half the bpm of 6/4.

[@DankLonk1980]

@@Bliss467 that's not how that works. 6/8 would be closer to 3/4 and 6/4 would be already be half the speed of 6/8 and the songs division of measures would be very thrown off. Yes they are both in 6, but they are in a different 6. I understand what you are trying to achieve by changing the bpm, but it wouldn't work out. On top of it, songs with lower bpms are slower, a whole note is longer than a quarter note, a quarter note is longer than an eighth, etc that's why 6/8 would not transfer to 6/4, 3/4 is closer because 6 eight notes make up 3 quarter notes, however you play two of those eight notes instead of one of those quarter notes
