Just got an Alex Moukala ad on an Alex Moukala video - wild!
Was just about to comment this lmao 😂
What was the ad about
Same😂
@@RobinsMusic It is about his music course, I believe
Same 😂
I've missed these videos from you for so long! I know you've been busy, but these are so enjoyable to listen to.
I've missed you all too!
Still very busy but I'm trying to set my schedule in a way that leaves some time for CZcams. There's been an infinite amount of incredible game tracks that came out in recent times which I'd be glad to talk about
I cant wait your are a Highlight in any day you Upload a Video :3 i hward your final Fantasy Soundtrack Remake compilation atleast 5000x. Also i Bet granblud Fantasy relink will BE Something for you@@AlexMoukalaMusic
I'm a composer as well, and I quite literally started writing music and becoming interested in music exclusively, 100% because of my experience with FFVII as a kid. It literally impacted the entire trajectory of my life, including my schooling and career path. I would not have discovered any of the composers I like, mostly very intense 20th century music, if it were not for the original game, and seeing the world and music become what it has become in this re-imagining is nothing short of incredible.
I haven't really written since COVID due to life kind of going sideways, like it did for a ton of us. I need to get back to the table.
compose for MUSES
It’s great to have you back 😃 Rebirth’s music is sounding amazing!!
Thanks Paolo, and indeed!! Can't wait for the game to be out already
Alex Moukala, nerding out as a musician is what I love about this channel. I hope that people keep hiring you for projects. Your musical ear and producing ability and educating people on music with your enthusiasm and bravado is a boon to this world. May you keep finding greatness you beast of a person. All the best!
Edit: That slap bass makes me have happy feels!
Ohohhh yeah Final Fantasy has always been metal/prog, usually filtered through Orchestra, but when they lean into it even harder it’s KILLER
Isn't Uematsu a metal head himself? he once stated that Hendrix and Emerson, Lake & Palmer were ones of his top influences.
He even formed his own band, the black mages and their whole shtick is playing metal arrangements of FF songs.
@@Xfushion2He is indeed a metal/Rock fan that is correct.😊
I mean, the Black Mages metal group is literally his.
This is the best crossover of two themes I've ever heard, I'm glad Hamauzu is directing the music on 7R, being Uematsu's best student you can really hear how much he loves the original material while still injecting his own style to it. I went to the 7R orchestra world tour in Paris back in december of 2021, Hamauzu was there and the live rendition of these themes made me cry so much. VII music is absolutely iconic for a reason.
Not only that. But you feel the respect he has for his teacher on said original material. The music is in the best hands possible
I like Hamauzu better. The man hasn't ever made a bad track
He's making music porn at this point. It's amazing.
With just a simple demo, this games music has caused an emotional reaction in me twice. When the main theme slowly builds up as you begin your trip to the Mt. Nibel Reactor, i could not help but smile as memories from my childhood flooded to me. The second time was as you play tifas theme on the piano, such a Beautiful and dare i say PERFECT rendition of her theme.
I cannot wait to see what they do with the forgotten capital, temple of the ancients and cosmo canyon themes.
I experienced the same thing playing Tifa’s theme on her piano and then arriving at Mt Nibel music. You put it perfectly. I also had a similar emotional response during the end of FF7 Remake when the city of Ancients music plays and Sephiroth grabs Cloud as he comes to consciousness arriving at the edge of creation scene. This series has the best music of any game I’ve ever played. Right there with you on the childhood memories flooding back from 1997 brother. I was 13 and so many of my friends were playing this too, those memories are the best. Two days left and we get to relive even more memories and nostalgia will hit hard. I can’t wait I’m so excited!
*God please let Alex Moukala be one of those "25000" composers that worked on FF7 Rebirth lmaooo. Always a joy to see more of you!*
Love this. And your bass cover absolutely SLAPS, we gotta get a full cover version of this, please. 🙏🏻
I can’t believe how good your ears are being able to recreate all the different orchestral sections note by note
It's pure genius
I would like to hear professionals talk about this. I can only do it to half the degree of this video
_It was so cool seeing Alex at FFXIV Fanfest in London. His funk isn't just a CZcams edit, it's the real deal!_
Yo.
Music and sound is so fundamentally important to our experiences and it almost always gets a little overlooked.
It's especially important in these remakes as it's designed to plug directly into and tap our nostalgia and emotions and it's something that usually exists only vaguely to people almost experienced subconsciously.
It's really nice to see a more fitting look into its composition and intention and trying to make people aware that it has very deliberate purpose and power.
You did a great job.
Dude, your musical analysis videos are honestly the most feelgood content ever. Your knowledge on music production, along with your perspectives and most importantly your passion for this stuff is incredible. Genuinely makes my day watching your videos!
legit they did a fantastic job on the music for both the remake and rebirth. Just blown away by the fact that they did such a good job matching everything. I think this is probably going to be both my favorite games of all time but also my favorite soundtracks of all time.
"I'm sorry." We're not, its what we're here for!
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU DO AN ANALYSIS AGAIN! Miss seeing these man! GOD you are so good at what you do!
Hype levels are over 9000. Who would have thought the overworld theme and the battle theme could be overlaid like that?! The music from the first installment (i.e., Remake) was so good, hearing what they did with the tracks this time is honestly one of the playthrough elements that I'm looking forward to the most for Rebirth. End of the month can't come soon enough! As always, love hearing your take on the music and feeling your enthusiasm come through the screen when talking about this content!
Seeing you get so excited about the music is making me excited for this game! I wish there were more creators who nerd out over videogame music like you do, please never change!
This is the all-time most incredible first time viewer video I've ever watched. I love this game and felt every emotion you conveyed and holy shit I loved the Bass! You're incredible!
I'm TOTALLY HERE for the nerding out! Love the battle track breakdown. 😎
@Alex Moukala I'm in no way, shape or form a music producer, but your excitement about music, especially in Final Fantasy games, is pretty much the same as mine lol. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Man Alex does an insane job of always breaking down every single note and theme from the songs just by ear it seems! What a talented human! You rock dude!
Ohhh this video got me pumped!! Love it Alex, thanks for all you do. Your FFXIV composition of Close In the Distance still makes me cry every time the limit break goes off. This video had my Dynamis rocking out too!
You are also incredible! The way you break down the tracks instead of just sitting here and listening is so entertaining
It was freaking awesome meeting you at the Ultimate Final Fantasy pub quiz. Not only that but actually being on your team! Rebirth’s music is going to be incredible I can feel it ❤
So happy you made this video! Just happy you are back!
I'm sooooo happy you pointed out the dissonant chords! It brings a sense of uneasiness, followed immediately by a feeling of unsure resolve. Alex, your videos help me feel not so alone. As a pianist, and a mega nerd of the music in the Final Fantasy franchise, I often feel very alone in my obsessions with the compositions!
Yes! I love your music break downs, your first one for Remake was what introduced me to you! Thanks for doing this!
This video gave me goosebumps! The way you broke the music and instruments down was phenomenal! Gives me chills.
the big theme moments in this are not something I was expecting to love so much. Somehow they keep remixing the FF7 themes in better and better ways, and it gives me chills every time. So excited to hear the rest of the music for this game. Thank you for the video Alex!
Welcome back! I love the deep dives you do!
Definitely missed these vids! The talent and enthusiasm never fails to drag me into each breakdown keep me engaged. Glad you got to relive your nostalgia through this music!
Alex, your videos are always so inspiring! I love how you always manage to share your excitement and passion for music 🧡
It’s so great to have you back!
I MISS YOU SO MUCH and these videos!! What a grear deconstruction!
Welcome back Alex! Awesome video for an awesome battle theme! Thank you very much for your precious insight and taking the time to show us mamy minute details. Also sick bass lines, man! See ya in the next one ❤
I love you and your energy Alex. It’s such a hard Time for me at the moment and this video just makes me feel better. Thank you.
I feel you man, this sounds absolutely amazing. Thank you for the video.
Been missing your content, Alex. Thank you for blessing our inboxes
Woohoo!!! Go, Alex. Such a fantastic analysis. Can’t wait for your next one x 🥳
Oh man that sounds absolutely INSANE and I love watching you completely lose it as you go through it because it's exactly my same experience as I'm hearing it with you lmao! Also I TOTALLY AGREE with your point on orchestral soundtracks in videogames, I understand why some folks are apprehensive about them given the history of *some* perhaps less creative uses of orchestra in games in the past, but you absolutely can use orchestration in an authentic way for a videogame setting and FFVII REMAKE/Rebirth are excellent examples of that.
'm beyond hyped for this game!
Can't wait to hear your remixes!!!
I love your analysis! I remember hearing this in the trailer and your description of what we felt at every given moment was super accurate.
This track was so powerful, it even serves as the music for the trailer.
It's great to see a new video from you! I have been absolutely floored by the soundtrack in the Rebirth demo. There's a version of "On that day, five years ago" that plays during the nighttime in Nibelheim that is just so hauntingly beautiful, I had to pause the game and just appreciate it for a while.
What's even more incredible is that it transitions through forms as you progress though that scene... there's an ethereal version as you're outside approaching the manor, it subtly shifts into a more ominous version as you enter the manor, and it changes once again as you proceed deeper into the manor and you start to hear the base notes of another legendary track from FF7.
What a phenomenal job they've done.
So happy to receive another (awesome) Alex Moukala analysis video!
Glad to watch another one of your videos!
Nice analysis! I love your work, keep on rocking!
I love you so much , so glad you’re back
6:43 Those flips between minor and major in the motif... 🤌
That flip always makes me go “YOU GUYS WE DID IT ITS REAL THE GAME IS REAL!”
I love your passion. Keep it up!
Your passion makes me smile man! Keep it up! And yes, this soundtrack is absolutely masterful. :)
Missed you Alex!!! Cant wait to listen through all this
Loved the breakdown Alex. This track is pretty awesome.
I absolutely adore these videos Alex. Fantastic stuff as always.
It was really great seeing you at the press event. 😊
i was playing the demo and smiling the entire time you summed it up beautifully great work
Glad you're back Alex!!
Thanks man. This is such an amazing transcription of feelings. It will stay in my heart for a long time, if not forever. THANSK
Sei veramente il migliore. Ascoltarti parlare di musica sul gioco che ho amato di più nella mia vita, è da pelle d'oca!
Che ci fai tu qui😂? Ciao Zerga👋! Ho comprato il gioco qualche giorno fa' e devo dire che è qualcosa da cui una volta che ti sei addentrato è difficile uscire. È davvero meraviglioso🤩!
bellssimo!@@marcocioffoletti861
Yesss, i love your videos Alex. Thank you🙏🙏
Your passion for the craft is sooo infectious, I missed it man. Glad to see you back!
Come sempre un piacere seguire i tuoi video ♥
I love how excited you get. I feel the same - the specific blend is incredibly satisfying. It feels powerful but also refined and totally fitting for the storytelling.
Such a joyful video! Your enthusiasm is infectious :-D
love the analysis man!
You’re an excellent teacher! I learned a lot from your unique insights, thanks!
I always love these videos because it really just shows off not only your understanding of the music but that you know how to make it work yourself as a composer. I'd love to work with you one day.
So glad you’re back Alex! We’ve missed your mentorship on here ✅🙌🏾
I love your work Alex, i listen your videos and make me more understanding about music thanks!
Super Video!!! Thanks Alex!!! 🎉
excellent breakdown. keep up the great work!
First time I’ve had an CZcams Ad made by the CZcamsr I’m currently watching. That threw me off so much. Great stuff Alex!!🔥
I love your passion, it's contagious
The music for FF7 is always going to be one of the best game music of all time, so many emotions from just a couple of tracks. It's why I picked Aerith's Theme to walk down the aisle to.
Ha! That’s awesome you chose Aerith’s theme for your aisle walk. My wife heard me playing Tifa’s theme and she asked me if we could play it starting as soon as we had the kiss the bride moment. It fulfilled every childhood dream I ever had lol. You’re spot on, the emotion from the FF7 tracks are unmatched in my opinion.
Ahhhh and putting the drums under the orchestra was fantastic. And you wrote a drum part that a drummer would definitely be okay with too, you're.. you're doin' good stuff here.
God, I love your analyses!
Man, I love your remixes
Amazing breakdown. Thank you!
Love seeing this type of notification!! Can’t wait!
Alex una garanzia come sempre
I love your commentary on video game music. This song though! And the disco-fied version at the end is great.
This game's soundtrack is un-fucking-believable and I'm glad you made this video. I'm a musician/Berklee kid too and when Remake came out, me and my roommate (also a musician/Berklee kid) sat around learning and playing the soundtrack while we slowly played the game. It took forever because we had to keep stopping to learn the next song lol.
While watching your video I was quietly waiting for your crank base solo and then it sparkled the joy out of me. Haha, very nice done Alex. 🤩😍🤩
Awesome to hear your insight. The track is so deeply layered with melodies and motifs! Can't wait to play the final game! 😁
Dude.. your passion and insight is contagious! Sub’d! It is such an excellent song.
I was NOT ready for the bit at the end. That was awesome!
I was kind of on the fence about picking this one up, you helped me make up my mind. Thanks!
Amazing breakdown. Never heard of your channel before. Just subbed.
Welcome back, you’re the king!
Welcome back. Couldn't wait for you on some more ff music. I am so hype for this game. Most anticipated game well deserved
Dude, the music gives me chills! I am so hyped
That excitement...that feeling of wonder. It is good to see you jamming again, Alex! I'm gonna need to get a ps5 soon. I want to enjoy the feeling again!
This was very nice to hear! 💜
we missed you. glad to see you back!
Great to see your videos popping up on my stream again mate I've missed it. I play this music when I'm having a workout and I'm it's perfect for it 😁
Your passion for your craft is palpable. Keep it going!
First time watcher! Your take on the music is absolutely spot on. I am not a musician by any means, but I absolutely love good soundtracks. Thank you for sharing your perspective! You gained a new subscriber!
Vids like this are so cool and always make me feel bad I don't know/use much of music theory. There are so many possibilities to get even more creative when you really know what you're doing
Woah! The day is good when Alex uploads!
April 10th
That is incredible! Some very talented people putting in a lot of work to make this a wild experience for us.
Quality video sir ❤ the music in final fantasy is so good
2nd commentary! Thanks for your amazing composer point of view and all your passion and hard work! It is very interesting and it gives me moooreee hype one more time for FF7 rebirth launch
