Snow on Grandma's Coffin - a NieR mashup/remix - 2025-05-15T17:19:40+00:00
Made from game rips of "Snow in Summer," "Cold Steel Coffin," "Grandma," and "Grandma / Reunion" from NieR Replicant v1.22... Composed and originally arranged by Studio MONACA I've been trying to think of ways to give back to my Patrons more, so I decided to make a "behind the scenes" video this time. You can access it by joining Patreon, or with a one-time payment of $3 USD (4.50 for mobile users) https://www.patreon.com/posts/little-thank-you-129035940 Warner Chappel's already siphoning money off this video from the get-go, and that sucks, but I made this because I wanted it to exist, gosh darnit! And now it does. I hope you like it too. Fun fact, this song has an alternate title: “Snow on Grandma’s Cold Steel Coffin in Summer and Knuckles” Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jonathanbarouch Discord: https://discord.gg/2t6zmzjM3J Download link (source files were MP3s so there is no lossless version): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ow0xkSnFVndPV5w1ctnuSLt9u1n0kFOM/view?usp=sharing Several viewers have asked if I have plans to launch music on Spotify.

Tap your profile pic 3. Go to Settings and Privacy / Apps and Devices 4. Under "Other Devices," enable "Local audio files" to give Spotify access to your hard drive. Allow any additional privileges the app needs. (Yes, there are privacy concerns to this, but they're small.) 5. Go to your Library and open Local Files. 6. Find the track you want and tap the three dots on the right side 7. Add the track to the playlist(s) of your choice!

Wretched Machinery - a NieR mashup/remix - 2024-06-12T00:13:35+00:00
I was going to wait to post this with the next video essay, but I'm too excited, so here's something I semi-impulsively put together! Now back to your regularly scheduled video essays. Made from game rips of "The Wretched Automatons" from NieR Replicant v1.22... and "Wretched Weaponry" from NieR:Automata Composed and originally arranged by Studio MONACA This time I played around more with not just mixing the two tracks, but mixing sounds within the tracks that are never focused on or combined in the OST.

Tonic Ear Training with game soundtracks - 2024-05-09T08:10:52+00:00
Most music ever written has a tonic pitch. But many, many music-lovers have never heard of such a thing. Use these 10 exercises to get more familiar with this stranger you know so well! At the end of each clip, several piano notes will play. As long as your guess matches *any* of them, you're right! (The tonic pitch appears once in every octave.) And if there's no match, but your answer feels right, you've probably found the 5th, which is a good sign too. Stay updated/Support the channel!

Both of these resolutions are used very frequently, but the V to I more so. If only I had shown you what it sounds like!
