Old Composer Reacts to MINECRAFT Super Session Twitch Clip | Video Game OST Review 

This game has one of the most relaxing soundtracks of the industry. A lot of us grew up with it. it's amazing.

The thing about Minecraft's soundtrack is that it isn't linear at all. You're playing the game without music, hearing only the nature around you... and then, out of nowhere, the ost starts playing, making these moments somewhat special, easier to remember. Relaxing, nostalgic and beautiful.

"its just a background music for a blocky game, dont go too crazy" C418: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This game was so beautifully made and so cared for by what was just a handful of developers just shootin the shit. What you hear isn’t a linear soundtrack as you may know. Every song comes on at a almost specific/nonspecific time, The sunrise, the sunset, looking over the horizon for the world ahead of you, going underground in a depth unknown with unknown danger around you (which some are slightly different in game) this game didn’t give you story, you made your own story. It became something unfathomably big to the point a young kid at this time might not know what windows is, but they know what minecraft is. I will never forget playing this game till the AMs of the morning as a young boy and just that perfect song comes on with the birds chirping outside

The beauty of Minecraft, there’s no way to play it. It’s at your own pace. Literally like a Bob Ross canvas, you can decide how the world is one block at a time.

0:38 "Well, the volume's kinda low, but maybe it'll get louder." Couldn't describe the reality of the Minecraft music better. that shit would be blasting through the tv by the end of the song.

Absolutely love how the chat is saying "classic" or "iconic" for pretty much every track and it's always right lol. Millions of people grew up with Minecraft me included, this soundtrack is engraved in video game history.

Mice on Venus is just... I can't help myself from crying. It reminds me of my childhood so much, especially that first half of it.

I first heard this music while playing when I was 8. I'm turning 21 this year. For many people this game as well as the music is so nostalgic and special, it's hard to describe how heartwarming this feeling is. It's pure nostalgia.

Minecraft is a completely open-world game. It gives you a randomly generated natural world to explore and manipulate to your desires. C418, when composing for the game, had to figure out a way to write music that could be played at ANY time. Exploring an icy mountain? Diving to the bottom of the ocean? Wandering a desert? Delving deep into a cave? The music needed to fit any of these moments. What he settled on was having these atmospheric, stripped back tracks that give a sense of hope but also sadness. Lost and alone in a vast world, nobody to talk to, no goal other than those you set for yourself, these tracks randomly play throughout your exploration of the world. Sometimes, the music kicks in right as you put the finishing touches on your house, or stumble upon a gorgeous vista, and it really helps cement those memories and make them special.

this has to be one of the most wholesome communities ever. I love how at around 30:00 he says he'd like to play it and people tell him he doesn't need a controller, where to get it, etc. Help him along the way, trying to figure stuff out. This warms my heart

The fact that all of the songs (not the music discs since those need a jukebox) play on random, makes them not feel repetitive and every time they play, it's a different kind of experience for the player.

Minecraft’s music is like that one friend who’d accompany you whenever you felt lonely, and it’s so nostalgic.

0:00 - Key 1:21 - Door 7:40 - Subwoofer Lullaby 13:55 - Death 14:38 - Living Mice 21:36 - Moog City 26:20 - Haggstrom 33:10 - Minecraft 39:58 - Oxygene 41:07 - Equinoxe 43:06 - Mice on Venus 47:55 - Dry Hands 49:06 - Wet Hands 50:39 - Clark 56:56 - Sweden 1:00:35 - Cat 1:06:05 - Dog 1:17:20 - Aria Math Thanks for taking time to read this comment, spend a lil' more time and subscribe to KeyofGeebz :)

fun fact, he didn't in fact used a moog in moog city, he had bought one and created the song while waiting for it to arrive

Taking a week off from posting on the channel starting today so I decided to leave this fat MINECRAFT session for you all. I will be on LIVE tomorrow on Twitch at 6pm PST for more video game ost reviews - www.twitch.tv/keyofgeebz - HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND :)

These songs evoke a feeling that's hard to explain. Minecraft was popular and many of us played it as children. These songs entering randomly gives you a call and response where your mind snaps back to those days, a decade ago, when life seemed to just be Minecraft and building and being creative. That magic has left, but these memories are buried, to be unearthed by these peaceful piano tracks.

Fun facts about these sondtracks A number of them aren't actually in-game like door for example, I think the reason was because C418 wanted to make the album a bit special The Track "cat" is actually unable to play randomly but it is played through an item that item is a music disc which is played through a jukebox also in-game cat & dog are both on the same disc There are 2 main gamemodes in minecraft survival and creative, the last track aria math only plays in creative mode This isn't the full ost there are some more, also about 99% of the tracks are passive but a few are somewhat overwhelming or unsettleing in a way that fits the area they play in (btw there are 3 dimensions in total the main one that is visible in the images on the videos are the overworld basically the main area)

Subwoofer Lullaby is such a vibe. Somehow it takes me back to my childhood even though I only first heard it maybe five years ago, still well into my adult years.

So many amazing memories listening to this music. I would love to see a trip through Volume Beta too, there are some spectacular tracks on that album

Mice on Venus always makes me tear up a little bit. There's just something so lovely about that song. I've been playing Minecraft off and in since release and when this song comes on I always stop and just enjoy my surroundings in the game. It's instant nostalgia. Also, Technoblade never dies.

That high-pitched noise in "Mice on Venus" is probably the most adorable sound in the whole soundtrack. This also seems to be an extended version of the traditional OST. That one can also be found on RU-vid, and the photo shown is like a diamond ore.

Subwoofer Lullaby... one of the first tracks you actually hear in-game. It hits me with such a bang of nostalgia. A hit of the good ol' days.

Aria math when the base comes in always gives me goodbumps, it's my favourite song in the soundtrack

I've tried remixing Minecraft's music but I just can't, the OST is so perfect it feels sacred and untouchable

I absolutly love the Minecraft OST, I listen to it on the normal, in my car, and while working just because it is such good background music. c418 has been in my top 3 spotify artist for the past 4 years, and I have both albums on vinyl.

"It´s just a blocky blocky game, don´t need to do much" C418: It tastes like GOAT!

Sweden is definitely the most resonant for me, gorgeous track

so cool how C418 brings in all the instruments slowly like you said and then slowly fades out again I never really noticed until now because the songs are so hypnotic in a way haha

Not a single game has ever had a soundtrack better than this

It's an absolute gorgeous soundtrack, a shame you weren't able to review the music of the Nether, it's a completely different vibe from the other songs but still epic

so glad you did this!! hopefully someday you take a look at the "volume beta" album, too!! volume alpha is more well-known, but i think volume beta (where aria math is from!) contains some of C418's most interesting work in the game 😊💕

This is so cute, I love how you analyze the music and use a base level knowledge of the game to build an image in your mind of what the game might be via music. Great analyses!

Minecraft is unique with it’s OST. Not every song made the “cut” to be put into the game. So some of the songs are not in the game at all. Fun Fact: The sounds the Ghasts make. Is the sound of one of the devs cats sleeping. ✌🏼

In addition to how beautiful the soundtrack is, well over the majority of the listeners have a nostalgic feeling for the music, attaching it to decade old memories from early childhood.

i remember playing minecraft once, just minding my business, and sweden started playing at sunset and bro i just started sobbing i've been playing this game for like 13, nearly 14, bloody years and gods do i miss being a kid few games soundtracks have ever had this effect on me

Subwoofer Lullaby, Living Mice and Haggstrom all take me back to such a wonderful period of my life when i had just discovered this game. Back when all the grass and trees had lime green color to them instead of the biome-specific colors they have now. Back when cobblestone blocks had that weird black border in them. When chests took up a full block and made the same opening/closing sounds as doors did. back when the player character still had that iconic OOF sound effect when getting hurt. Spam-clicking your bow, the old Creeper explosion sfx. I remember SO MUCH about this era of the game. Had many amazing memories with it aswell. Minecraft is a must recommend for ANYONE that wants to get into gaming. it's the perfect blend of combat, resource gathering, base building and exploration and is VERY beginner friendly.

we need a Volume Beta super session now!

I cannot express to you how great it is for me to revisit these tracks with someone who's listening to them for the first time and who can also disect and analyze them. Thank you very much for this channel and your time!

I discovered your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge watching your video game OST reactions since, I know absolutely nothing about how music is composed, so it’s great watching someone who very clearly knows their stuff, break down what makes the themes work in an easily accessible way. Would love to see you break down the variations of Ezio’s family one day as well

youtube threw you into my suggested and holy crap you have earned this sub. love the content

Thank you for the analyses and breakdowns of these pieces as usual Mr. Geebz! Even though I have no background in music I almost perfectly understand the explanations you give for each track, and they really give me a deeper understanding of the track.

I love what you do, it shows that you are passionate about what you do and I love seeing it. Good continuation in your next ( I look at you from Belgium) :)

There's no way, C418 made the best ambient music ever made for a game.

Glad there are more Minecraft OST to discover for this guy, can't wait to see his reactions!

I love this vid because not only are you listening to the amazing soundtrack, but you’re also learning about the game as you goes on. Keep it up!

This soundtrack is literally the embodiment of nostalgia for me. Ever since I was 8 my life revolved around this game for years and i did most of my growing up with it. Its soundtrack from the very beginning struck me as something unusual, and it very quickly became super nostalgic, a feeling which only increased. Over the years. By the way, I am 18 now. Only now sunk in it's been 10 years for me.

Very interesting to see your reaction and comments about these OSTs. These OSTs, especially living mice, when I listen to them I feel nostalgic and I feel deeply sad remembering when I still cared about being alive and didn't have any responsibilities. Greetings from Brazil.

Fun fact: Moog City was inspired by the moog synth, but doesn't use it, but Moog City 2 actually does use it.

Thank you for this wonderful sweet video! This remembered me of old times...

I feel like it would’ve been difficult to design a music piece for Minecraft due to it’s nonlinear nature as a sandbox but C418 managed to make it work so well

Minecraft music always makes me want to cry even all of these years later. I miss these good times

mice on venus is the BEST minecraft song oat to me because i played minecraft as a child and grew up with the game and it brings back all the amazing memories.

Sweden is like the epitome of nostalgia for anyone who's played the game.

Oh man, I discovered your work through the Radiohead videos, and coming back to see you commenting on Minecraft is so so sweet. Hope you're doing great!

Good choice for doing aria math and the end. Awesome track probably my favourite

Wow.. and now you have a Minecraft related channel profile picture.. I loved this video so much!

I've been subscribed to your other channel for ages but I saw this floating around tumblr so had to check it out bc I love minecraft and especially the soundtrack. It seems like you've gotten into minecraft alot more since this so I'm excited to check it out. Keep doing you Geebz

What a great reaction! Loved watching this

It's funny coming back to this video as your first glimpse into Minecraft now that your channel has a bunch of content related to it, it's truly a universal game. For me it's fun to look back at when I first played Minecraft and compare to where I am today, *still* playing it. I was 11 when I first played one of the initial releases of Minecraft , it was so wonderous and allowed for so much freedom it was literally like exploring a whole other world. Today I'm far more on the technical side of things yet still enjoying the game all the same. I've hosted servers, created mods, participated in building competitions and honestly, I accredit this game for the interest I took in programming and now my career as a computer scientist. I have met so many friends, created so many things, explored hundreds of worlds and enjoyed probably thousands and thousands of hours of content made by others on it. I don't think I'm alone when I say this game probably shaped a nice chunk of my later childhood. This game will forever hold a special place in my heart, a place I can always go to for that childlike wonderment and exploration even 14 years later.

A reaction to the rest of the minecraft ost (Beta Volume, Nether Update, Aquatic, etc) is a must. Great reaction as always!

Amazing soundtrack. I really hope I can catch one of these streams live. Would love to see you play this game would be interested to see what you would build :)

Thanks for the clips and videos man

I was so happy that youtube recommended me this. I love your insight and input and I really like the music Minecraft has, the old music and not the new stuff. I like nether tracks too and the credits screen. Subwoofer lillaby gives me this vibe of getting lost in the infinite world and not remembering where your house or base was. Mice on venus is my favorite with the bird-like tweeing at the end half. I think some of these like Door is not actually heard in-game anywhere or included in game files.

I can see it now, years down the line all of us minecraft players no matter how young or old will hear this music and just get blasted with nostalgia. This stuff will be a part of us forever

awesome video! waiting for a reaction to volume beta, there are lots of masterpieces as well!

This was such a fun journey and analysis of some amazing music. Thank you for analyzing like this. It would be fun to see some vids of you performing the piano tracks like Wet Hands or Dry Hands. Btw, Aria Math is the best track.

This made my day reminiscing on the Minecraft soundtrack a game I’ve played since I was 10 years old and watching geebz enjoy it and discover it warms my soul

Playing minecraft is it's own emotion.

nice to see so many people just chilling listening to some good music having a nice time

I saw the video in Twitch! It was really nice!

I'm so happy that you got to hear Aria Math, even though it isn't part of the Alpha album. It's my favorite Minecraft track and I'm really glad I got to hear your insight on it!

The beauty I find in this soundtrack is that it feels so nostalgic, even if you haven't played the game. Maybe not nostalgia for the game, even, but as a whole. It makes you think of the past, the good and the bad. It has such enriching tones of peace, and even some offsetting feelings of somberness. It was so well put together.

Age of Empires 2 from the 90s has an amazing soundtrack i can hear them in my head 20 years later 😆you should check it out.

when subwoofer lullaby came on i cried

love this!! keep doing it!!

57:55 gosh sweden makes me cry every.damn.time its just so nostalgic and calming. But at the same time it’s so heart wrenching. It captures the journey of minecraft throughout the years soooo well

sweden hits incredibly hard for me idk why

Thanks for doing this king 👑

I don't know why, but this soundtrack brings me to tears whenever I listen to it. It's from so long ago and I get a nostalgic feeling from my childhood when my soul still felt at peace. Beautiful

I started playing Minecraft when I was 5 years old, I am now 16 and I still play sometimes but I love the song brings back old memories and nostalgia. Sweden has a special place in my heart because it's just so nostalgic and I'm also from Sweden, I even cried during it. (Dw they're happy tears)

The Minecraft soundtrack is so unique, it’s almost indescribable, I’ve never had any other music make me feel how it does

Loved it. Thank you

I had the feeling of really wanting to play it again, but sadly my graphics card in my pc died. Then I stumbled op on your video and it cured my sad mood! Thank you :D

What's amazing is I'll listen to thia soundtrack trying to help myself choose a favorite. A song wil come on and ill be like "oh yeah i think its that one!" Then the next song plays and i realize that I love that one just as much as the one before. It's impossible to choose for me and thats what makes this soundtrack so special, I love them all. Edit: I will say however. That "Sweden" still gives me chills ♡

It’s really interesting to watch people talk about minecraft and ask questions. It reminds me of when people first play dungeons and dragons. There are so many possibilities, it’s hard to comprehend before you actually get into all of it.

Been following Minecraft since it began, and I like all the music but something about the Alpha/ Beta soundtracks just feel so magical and nostalgic. Brings back so many memories from around the 2011-2014 era of the game.

Now all i need to see is his reaction to the song "Alpha" by C418

I would love your reaction about the Beta volume. It's so interesting. My most favorite tracks actually come from there.

playing mc and listening to this reaction it is amazing. the music of this game is really top notch.

As much as I love Minecraft. Most of the music is NOT exactly music that youd be listening to back to back. It happens at random moments while playing giving the feeling of adventure, nostalgia, loneliness. So as much as I love it the feeling isn't the same as playing the game and the music hitting you while sitting around building your base.

The best thing about this is that there isn't music associated with a specific place in the game or thing thats happening, you create the moment and you create that association. Thats why people have such a strong nostalgic reaction to the music I think

crying rn listening to all of this once again...

As you've now heard, this is one of the most well known soundtracks of all time. The songs you heard today were actually the original songs in the game, but I highly recommend listening to the new ones made by Lena Raine within the last few years, they're still in the same vibe but definitely more active in different ways. Definitely worth another video just for those ones

These Minecraft soundtracks play in-game while your playing and it fits sooo well!~ 😇

I think you would really enjoy volume beta too, personally I prefer it and I would love to see you check it out. Aria Math is on it too, but there are some awesome tracks like "dreiton"

It's great to hear your thoughts/reactions to the soundtrack! :D I'd love to hear what you have to say about Volume Beta for Minecraft someday, too!

Like seeing you break down music/ experience new music

What I like about most of these tracks is how well they evoke a sense of vastness, which is fitting considering the proceeded generated world of Minecraft it's nearly infinite. Also the nostalgia hits really hard for some of these tracks, and btw Clark connects with Chris like an album

Thank you for taking my (and perhaps others) request for World of Warcraft OSTs. This is my most played music on Spotify, despite being a major fan of lots of music. I just saw that you posted this a few days ago, so THANK YOU!!! WoW OSTs always have 2 things: 1) TRACK 1 of every album, featuring a semi-fixed theme (utilizing Marty's "emotional equity"). 2) A track that is heard in the CINEMATIC (remember this term?) for each respective expansion. I'd REALLY like you to do a video(s) comparing the main titles, perhaps 2 at a time. I'll list the albums at the end of this comment so you can find them easily, but basically just TRACK 1 of every album, back-to-back so you can hear the similarities and differences. ALSO I'd REALLLLLY like you to do a video(s) where you listen to the "Cinematic track", commentate, then WATCH the cinematic, and commentate again. The "cinematic track" I will post the name of, as well as a link to the cinematic. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OSTs World of Warcraft (2004) World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (2007) World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (2008) World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (2010) World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (2012) World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor (2014) Cinematic Tracks "Seasons of War (Intro Movie)" then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vlVSJ0AvZe0.html "The Dark Portal (Cinematic Intro) then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IBHL_-biMrQ.html "Arthas, My Son" (Cinematic Intro) then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BCr7y4SLhck.html "Xaxas" then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wq4Y7ztznKc.html "Why do we fight?" then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wvYXoyxLv64.html "Times Change" then watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TLzhlsEFcVQ.html These are just the first 6 albums, but this will be plenty for a good while!!!!!
