Genius makes things simple

[@paulfox666]

The score is so moving it feels like a character in the show, and I love the different versions as if it has personalities. (Piano, music box, violin) Unbelievable, beautiful, a masterpiece.

[@theRyanStrong]

Awesome! Would love to see more videos like this on process!!

I wish i knew what thoughts and ideas went through your mind when you composed your music for The Leftovers, and also your one called 'November'!!! :D Your works that were used in that show made it incredible and couldnt have been the same without! i cannot thank you enough for the music you brought to the world! if not for The Leftovers, i may never have heard of you.... i consider myself like a 30-yr-novice piano player, haha, i play by ear, but i have never been as obsessed with learning something on piano as i was with your music from the show! everyone asks me to play it over and over too! I am not creative enough to create any of my own music, but being able to play brilliant music like yours, is awesome enough!! :) Will forever be a fan now! Thank you

4:58 This is pure class.

[@ejhirschberg]

the coolest part of this too, is you explain it in such an easy way for anyone to understand :) Also, very cool teacher-like explanation and then demonstrations too!! thanks for inspiring me too, i am next gonna have to learn that one you mentioned here, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" always loved that song too! Its a lil bit of a late request, but how did you come up with 'The Departure" and "November"??? well.... anything id know from The Leftovers, basically?

[@jessicaolmstead4069]

Not only super knowledgeable but so articulate and well-spoken, explains all the music theory stuff in an accessible way

[@ChrisLeeProducer]

Extremely informational. Thank you!

[@mustangsally2048]

I need an autobiography from Richter ASAP

[@tammylaronde8593]

Thank you for sharing, sir. I appreciate it. When I compose, it's all stored in my head. I can't look at sheet music. Epilepsy. It's not written down. That won't stop me from composing, however. I simply adapt. 🙂

[@HotPocketsBoy]

OH SHIT ITS MAX RICHTER! NICE!

[@LuukSwinkels]

I am a composer as well. You can check my channel iff you like. Sorry if you dont like these kind of advertisements.

[@thebigdude888]

4:47 is why I'm here

[@marmottin]

Just remembered I needed to check for Taboo's score. Thought I would never see the day and forgot about it hah. Anyway, thanks for the music Max, this score is exceptional.

[@itookallthenames]

tritone-very metal innit

[@artemchuprov2020]

Cool. Please, more videos on music theory. I wish my teachers were like Max.

[@fabiovalenza9811]

Very beautiful your score.

[@danieljones3955]

superb composition thank you for the explanation

[@lihanwei1]

Absolutely love videos like this. Would be happy to see more videos like this of you introducing the composing process.

[@acolleenjones]

Love both musical themes, especially the heavy bass thread and the pulsing of that music! :)

[@Khorney]

amazing stuff max! Great soundtrack! Been listening to it on spotify for days

[@fredysieber332]

The score is AWESOME!

[@DDan19]

CONGRATULATIONS!! Superb .. Divine music!

[@imakez4u]

Loved it !!!

[@MOMS3030]

THANKS FOR YOUR MUSIC THANKS

[@rupe82]

I love this!

[@hao9111]

One of the best pieces I've heard in a while. Oddly enough reminded me of "Once upon a december" from Anastasia. By the way, is there a video where you just play the full tune on piano?

[@mrbrown9246]

I love you!!

[@marcusmcgill4423]

What's the last piece at the end? It's similar to 'The Onrush of Events' and 'The Inexorable Advance of Mr. Delaney', but it has more strings in it than those two.

[@carreimperial3123]

Thks a lot

[@sinandurmaz7542]

I love you master of the music soul

[@burnmic]

Hey there.. Would love to watch this as I'm a budding composer and a huge fan of the taboo soundtrack.. But here in the UK I get "this video is now available".. Any idea? Thanks!

[@Khorney]

Use a youtube-proxy site. I've tried proxfree myself which works well. You can then enter this video's url into the proxy and open it as if you are in a different country, that hopefully isn't geoblocked in the UK.

[@bjd5788]

What is the name of your piece in episode 6 at the 8 minute mark please

[@bjd5788]

And episode 4 38 min mark can't find it anywhere, thanks!

[@FreakieFan]

I need to know what kind of pencil that is at 0:06

[@rafeek6730]

noligraph

[@antoniovaldespino6650]

Am I wrong or he always says "Thomas" when he refers to Tom Hardy?

[@za9ck]

Honestly wasn't listening to what he was saying because I was so distracted by his gorgeous face. DADDY

[@avoiceofyourown9652]
