[@nevanV12]

It's also a plus that Hoyoverse doesn't copyright their music.

[@Otonium]

Like he was (like in Evangelion) rhythm was being out of sync, while the mecha was aligning.

[@cirrus5311]

I always thought the off-beat percussion was supposed to be the "heartbeat" of scarabot--inorganic, new, everything we're struggling against in the Sumeru chapter thematically.

[@Samizard]

From a narrative and poetic standpoint, that makes perfect sense! Storytelling through music 📈

[@marcmarcell5982]

The heartbeat isn't on the same beat as the fatui theme as if saying he's not with them anymore

[@nevanV12]

Hoyo really likes to tell stories on different mediums. If you notice also in the character demos, the music also gives off what kind of character they are.

[@fizzlepop7309]

@@nevanV12 Speaking of, part of Wanderer's demo has the heartbeat motif too. I think it's largely present in the part where he lifts the Fatui hammer guy into the air. I really appreciate that theme they weaved into many of his pieces of music.

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

his "heartbeat" is leaving the Fatui and becoming one with the mechanized body that he's going to be, thus the voices also started to sound more "synth as it goes and he's embracing his origin more than his Fatui's identity : "a doll created by the God of Thunder" and he's going beyond it, he wants to be the God itself... what he's created for, a vessel of a god; To prove his self-worth.

[@surokawa]

I love that the rythm imitates a heart pounding, making reference to his wish🥺

IKRR

[@wakawaka666]

this comment made me realise what the gnosis represented for him, we literally took away his heart from him, the only thing he ever truly wanted, omfg

[@iosis9324]

@@wakawaka666 Gnosis also means "Heart of God" in Chinese, as well as in Japanese, Russian and Korean localization.

[@wakawaka666]

@@iosis9324 damn

[@iosis9324]

@@wakawaka666 yes, with this meaning, it becomes more clear why Scaramouche wanted Gnosis so much and considers himself heartless without it, why the heartbeat sounds in the song and why gnosis was in the robot's chest.

[@luissilveira7057]

I love that they named the intro part "Ominous Fandango" 😂

[@lawfulevilgloam6445]

"The violins are kinda like a percussion" We would be if we knew how to count and didn't always rely on the horns, trombones, or god forbid, the conductor to cue us in LMAO

[@Samizard]

Leave the conductor out of this! Pom Pom doesn't deserve this hate!

[@lawfulevilgloam6445]

@@Samizard I'm gonna just leave you with this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2mQknmLYt-Jbpo

[@Koutouhara]

At 5:20, that 'uncomfortable' beat, I always took it to be the sound of a manufactured beating heart. A theme of Scara/Wander has been whether or not he has one or not - something that he has wanted even if it meant gaining it through force, in the case of this battle, to have purpose, power - to be more than a puppet; so much so that he wanted to become an Archon even if it meant creating this fake vessel and forcing it to happen. And then with Wanderer, rising from the 'ashes' of Scara, truly getting his heart and vision later on, like the story that he learned from the boy.

[@zephskiee5395]

Inazuma beat drop scene was talking about his backstory that's why it's comfy and warm.

[@dhanapiereza5012]

5:12 start from that part, i thing the composer want to emulate the sound of heart beat since the battle get intensifies and also to makes us thinking "ooooohhh.....sh1t, that thing is huge"

[@Keiki-kun]

I'm pretty sure the unsynchronized beat is meant to represent a heartbeat

[@choccotacco4752]

Love this series! Always learn something new from professional musician perspective. Now I’m looking forward drum covers of genshin music, someday in the future maybe?

[@Samizard]

Way ahead of you! Here is a playlist of my current drum covers, including music from Genshin, Honkai, and Arknights! kzbin.info/aero/PL3IfamSl36riRHMA1wzDF0P4ekwlgaru3

[@shirleygomez9097]

Es cierto y además es uno de los mejores jefes de genshin impact ❤👏👏👏👏👍

[@zacharyragan4794]

The inazuma breakown parts definitely feel like the true essence and center of all the chaos happening through the rest of the song where it comes to a more synced up, on beat and spiral-like dancing happening between the stormy drums and the melody there. also at 12:40 when you talk about the snare hitting that 3rd note, that 3rd note seems to match up with the peaks and valleys of that flute melody and makes it feel more "cyclical" being in theme with that Inazuma concept too!

[@zacharyragan4794]

anywayss if it wasnt obvious from my overanalysis I loved the video!! LOL

[@sumiko_1384]

The off beats makes sense why my heart was racing through the fight 😮‍💨

[@DR_REDACTED]

Fact that makes this so much more epic is that the singing is mostly in Latin with some parts in Japanese.

[@Petershelson]

I like this style and format of video where you don't pause the song, talk over some parts briefly, and then talk more about it at the end of the video. My current favorite track from Genshin is "Desert Battle Theme 1". It's another song where the rhythm is mainly carried by non-percussive instruments, as well as having a great buildup! I'd love an analysis on it!

[@Samizard]

Noted! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@XIKaMuIX]

This game has 2 songs that made me cry. First one is called "Ruu's song". The song + the visual happening was so sad. Kinda same with the "For Riddles, for Wonders". Man every song is so good.

[@Samizard]

Ruu's Song 😭😭😭

[@diazpramudita5165]

IIRC Alex Moukala also reviewed this and called this piece the most technically advanced piece in Genshin to date, in term of musical composition technique.

[@emmawiley2452]

I can believe that. This song is Yu Peng Chen going ham and showing all his mastery and techniques. You can tell he put a lot of thought into it and decided where he wanted each note to hit. There are many songwriters, but a few great people have the honor of being a song-weaver.

[@chibipuppy77]

about the "off beat kick" in phase 1 and the "transition phase", it's in 3/4 while the main beat is in 4/4

[@Samizard]

Ohhh I think you're right! Super smart composition

[@HajpeQ123]

That Inazuma drop though!

[@j_a.0]

5:20, that beat is uncomfortable to most because its reminiscent of a heartbeat, making us feel nervous.

[@Powerbomb323]

The third phase is also part of the Wanderer/Scara's demo trailer theme.

[@idmss2663]

It's so cool that the whole song is uncomfortable to make us mortals feels what's it like in front of a god

[@NJR0091]

The part I like the most with the last beat drop is that it happens when it's time to burn down the boss, after stopping his insta-kill attack - the music is 'clearer' in structure and more energizing because it's telling you to basically go ham on him; it does a great job of getting you into the groove and into 'your' moment, basically telling you 'go get him'. Music in games should be something pleasant to the ears but not so engrossing that it takes you out of the game itself, and I think this is the best example yet (at least in this game) of a track that doesn't just slap, it actively makes the fight more intense and engaging at a critical moment. I think they've learned a lot from prior boss fights; the music is excellent in fights like Azdaha and Signora, but it just doesn't come in as hard when it needs to (especially when you're higher level and destroy the bosses very quickly - at least with Scara you get a sick beat drop as you burn him down near-instantaneously lol). Also, as a somewhat related aside: if you're ever looking for another game's music that does this sort of 'zen state' very well, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend music from Punishing Gray Raven (or Vanguard Sound Studio in general) - PGR is an underrated gem of a game that (much like a lot of gacha games) has banger music for absolutely no reason (they are a music studio with a video game attached to it lol). They have tracks ranging from classical music pieces based off of German love poems to the kind of music you'd hear at a rave. I mention them because basically all their music is masterfully in-step with the gameplay, much like this track is - every song creates this sort of zen state that gets you hyper-focused into the combat, which is absolutely necessary because PGR is faster-paced than Genshin is (think Bayonetta mixed with the difficulty of Dark Souls alongside a touch of Candy Crush; and yes it does sound weird on paper, but their combat system is actually super fun and engaging). The only bad thing about this game is that it's not on PC yet (though they're working on a PC version and it should be out sometime this year). If you're ever interested in checking their music out, I'd recommend Narwhal to start - it is more or less the PGR national anthem. Hikari is another excellent track (my personal favorite), but there's plenty of great ones to choose from: Dust, Lamia, Untold Naraka, Edenis, Wraith, Sie liebten sich beide, Exorcism, Last Resort, Revelation, Under Dimension, Left Unsaid... this studio simply does not miss.

[@maxhohn5570]

Jolts in the Forest is just such a beautiful boss theme, it makes me feel like flying when it hits the part in the middle around the 2 minute mark

[@ibelieveinwoozisupremacy8681]

Since dehya demo, will come out for few days, I think you will love her demo

[@Samizard]

I can't wait!

[@T29hotrod]

Kinda wished you had captions on. It had lyrics.

[@patsuan356]

The younger, not usual opera like singer's parts looks so similar to berserks opera singing

[@blaze_burn]

I love videos like this, be great if you could do more!

[@superqaxclub]

To think again, when you fight this boss like how the game setup, they actually get perfect timing of the comfortable beat for us when knocking down the boss and dish out dmg.

[@maiaeryn]

i really enjoyed this video, its nice to see you explain stuff! i would love to see more of this series!

[@Poe168]

Music is so epic.

[@RyukaaAlexandra]

this was awesome Sami, you should do it more often. For next song Signoras battle theme song would be really cool, specially the phase 2 that is lite🔥🔥🔥🔥

Signora's boss theme? CHECK.

I was wondering if I was the only one hearing some Inazuma sounds, and during the transition phase of the OST you can hear the intro of La Signora phase 2 OST

[@ivanvilte4411]

El tema de boss scaramouche es todo una joya de principio a fin

[@nevanV12]

Are you musically trained or did go to music school? I'm surprised you know about certain notes and structures. I learned guitar and piano by ear and only consumed basic music theory through my own research. I really like how hoyo is not only breaking boundaries in gaming but also in video game music. In Honkai, they mix electronic sound, rock, and folk/traditional sounds. In Genshin they mix electronic, modern, orchestra/classical and folk/traditional elements and in great quality too.

[@Samizard]

Nope, not trained or educated, just lots of experience at this point! But I'm flattered you thought otherwise 😅

[@anishocine9099]

Port Ormos, is amazing, i'd like to see you analyze it :D

Would you prefer to see me play it? 👀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3bIm3iboth_hqM

[@patiencewright4877]

I find it annoying when people talk over the transition of the music, Like- You're missing key elements here people.

[@fruitbowl18]

Most wear headphones, believe me with headphones on a normal volume you‘ll still hear what ever you’re listening to, maybe a bit quieter but they hear it.

[@erzakurosaki8509]

Does anyone else notice that in all versions of this ost, the second phase is always quieter than the other parts??? It’s so annoying cuz I love blasting phase 2 and the song overall but I always have to adjust the volume when phase 2 comes on cuz it’s noticeably quieter 😢

[@sskjppy]

This part gotta be my favourite 7:54

[@scareflare7553]

Can someone please give the link to that video, that was lyrical uploaded by Paimon's Secret stash channel but now i can't find it, is it removed or what!!

oh nooo the whole channel is gone. i think they got deleted because of copyright
