*spoiler alert* my favourite song is Love in Paradise, and Dangerous, and Scylla, and Suffering, and Warrior of the Mind, and Open Arms, and There are other ways, and Keep your friends close, and Ruthlessness, and that part of the Underworld where he sees his mom, and the end of God Games, and the whole thing...
Feels wired seeing the lyrics “give up your honor and faith”. When compare to Poseidon’s “ruthlessness is Mercy upon ourselves”. As though, they look like they’re trying to kill Odysseus and have killed his men. But are really trying to teach him an important lesson. Which he will exemplify in the song King.
Yeah considering bows were dishonorable as it equated men to animals, so him butchering every one with a home is giving up his honor and doing what itt takes
I think it would be SO cool to animate Scylla's entrance side-by-side with a scene of Clytemnestra killing Agamemnon in the bathtub. Scylla's "Hello" could be overlaid with Clytemnestra greeting her husband, ax in hand. You know, as if the creepiness and horror wasn't enough already.
I love how absolutely psyched he is about every song he's created and every snippet he gets to share. Like this man has been working on this for so many years and is just still so passionate about it. I hope it ends up everything he's ever dreamed it to be - it's certainly shaping up to everything the rest of us dream it to be!
This may be the song I am the most excited to see the complete version of, Scylla has always been one of the most interesting monsters Odysseus faced to me
This is one of my absolute favorite songs in the show, I am so, so, so, so excited and hyped for this song to be released. It's terrifying, but captivating. It's perfect.
My husband is now a big fan because he heard me listening to the music so much and now we geek out about it together and every time he gets excited to show me something on his phone, I think he's showing me the next two sagas are out and then I get disappointed that it's not. 😂
The: “Anyways, yeah. I thought that was really cool, so I just wanted to show you guys.” You’re so passionate about what you do!! It’s so amazing!! It sounds awesome dude. Keep it up.
Don't understand half of what you saying but im here for it. Your talented and i live the updates. Love your songs and keep on humming them in order during work. 😊
ok but that last bit!! the harmonization in "survive" at the end... just!! sooo amazing!! it gave me chills, not just for the song, but the way it is a callback from the second saga
With Scylla you really created another masterpiece❤ especially the "Hello" is a jump scare, it still gets me at the 100th time listening ro the song😍😍😍💛
Literally paused the video and got headphones to listen to the harmonies all together, and I’m so glad I did, that is amazing! I love the way it adds to the narrative of Scylla being this monster of many parts that are all connected to one conscience. The mixing is so clean, and the techno-sounding undertones really hammer in your theming of gods/magical: techno versus human/nonmagical: traditional orchestration…😍
First: this sounds amazing and I can't wait for the whole thing. Second: can we take a moment to just appreciate this man and his work. It is so inspiring what he sought out to do with "Epic", the whole community is so nice and just a bunch of mythology nerds vibing with each other which is so healing considering most fandoms are more like a warzone 99% of the time. And just the fact he is so proud of his work and so exited to show us the snippets and the behind the scenes stuff is so wholesome! I love seeing creators being so dang proud of their creations. It makes my day every single time
Very cool! I would love to see a documentary of sorts after epic is finished where you talk about how you made each song and the recurring musical motifs and your thought process while you wrote it!
I can't wait to hear Scylla. I wonder which sagas are going come out. Sounds like we're at least going to get the rest of act one and the first saga of act 2 so....the ocean, circe, underworld & thunder saga.
When everything is all said and done, Epic is going to be amazing because every time you hear something from it no matter how big or small it just gets you hyped and full of anticipation. Keep up the great work!
The harmonization sounds cool! especially how it’s made is awesome with just duplication with the same voice but different pitch! Never knew that :0 but overall can’t wait for the finished product it’s going to be amazing 🎉
I'm literally going FERAL over the little snip-bits of the Thunder Saga. Scylla and Thunder Bringer are already looking to be in at the LEAST my top 5 favorite songs from EPIC, if not from ALL songs that I listen to. Keep up the amazing work, I'm so excited for Act 2 to begin!
I cant explain the joy and excitement I fee when listening to these clips bro!!!!! cant wait for the whole saga to be complete and I hope to watch the whole thing as a stage production one day
How you do this this is amazing everything single time you just knock out of the park with every song you it sound amazing and l in joy ever song snippet you release well done
Every single time you post an update, it feels like getting a Christmas present! 😂 this is so creative and awesome, Jay! I do have a question though… so, in the case that this becomes a stage production, (which Ik is ur goal, and I’m so so so excited for it!!!) would you use a combination of tracks as well as a live orchestra to recreate the sounds that you’ve altered online like this one and Polyphemus, or would you solely use tracks? Just curious 😊 also, sorry I have to ask, do you have any updates on the release date of the next saga? I need more!!!
I like how he explains parts of the songs like this. I’m not very good with this stuff but it’s interesting to listen to and brings up the hype for hearing the songs.
Ive been waiting for this song for a long time, i xant wait to see the final product! That being said I'm very interested to think about how this would transition to a stage show, how would a performer replicate this?
I loved this im the final edit because its such a small thing a nobody like me wouldnt think about but it really helps bring to life this multi headed figure of fear itself
If I could choose a power to have it would be between whatever this would be called (voice duplication maybe?) and shape-shifting, and holy hell, that is a tough decision for me. This is excellent 👏👏👏👏👏
