0s I wish we were more people observing him
3s can we shame him can we shame him online
7s hello my name is yannick Reuter Berg I'm
10s a freelancing composer and sound
12s designer I've worked for coffee-stained
14s since since about October it was almost
19s a year now I've been working as a sound
21s designer for image inform their game
23s steamer nice I've also done the sound
26s design for the journey down
28s chapter 3 by sky Goblin the vision for
31s the sound and the soundtrack came from
33s the mainly job but also a lot from
36s Gustav the level designer but earlier
40s composer for sanctum one I believe in
42s goat simulator we've had different
43s different approaches I mean in the
45s beginning where we when we were trying
47s to come up with a sound for the game we
50s had a lot of discussions because we were
52s a couple people with a vision everyone
54s has their own visions you'll work
56s towards that common sound it can be
59s stressful at first but when we
61s eventually found the Snyder we wanted
63s haven't been been working quite freely
66s and I enjoy that with office thing
67s because you're not a pressuring company
69s I've composed all the music so far we've
72s had I think it's four sort of different
75s boxes of music I guess you can say you
78s have the trailer music which is I mean
80s something else
81s itself tempo and it's it's catching and
83s very different from the in-game music
85s which we divided in three sets
88s exploration music for when you run
90s around outside of your base
93s [Music]
98s and then you have the night music
107s the factory music which plays when
108s you're in your bass which is a bit more
110s more happening less cinematic and more
114s structured no satisfactory I've always I
117s start up the game I take some
118s screenshots of of the area for example
121s if it's exploration music or just a
123s factory and then I start filling about
126s with different sounds I rarely have a
128s strong idea beforehand I have the
130s feeling but not the melody and not the
133s sounds I get that out by just playing I
136s mean it comes quite naturally when you
138s start this soundtrack is very strongly
139s based on a hardware synth called the ARP
143s Odyssey which is it's an old one from
145s the 80s and it has a very distinct SiC
147s sound and you can hear it and I think
150s 90% of the tracks it's there somewhere
154s [Music]
155s it suits the game and it's sci-fi but
159s it's also a little bit retro I use a
162s program called reason for some reason or
166s writing music but then I mix and master
169s in another software called qubits which
171s I'm sure people will know who works yeah
174s I compose for other media I've been
177s composing for quite a few mobile games
180s and anything it's a completely different
182s format it's it's not as fun it's not as
185s creative because it's usually just two
188s tracks that loop over and over again so
191s you can't do anything dramatic I can't
193s go bananas the same way I loathe
195s deadlines but I also love them because
197s they mean I've never been as productive
200s as I have been working for coffee saying
202s that's the problem for me anyways
203s working alone I don't I have this you
206s know it has to be hundred percent he
208s can't be 90 percent because there's
209s always something you can do better and
211s so you end up only releasing a song per
214s year we're not releasing it at all they
216s can find me on Soundcloud I also have
218s some old music oh it's qualified under
220s the name of sleepers delight at
222s SoundCloud that's Spotify at your house
224s I'm a serious human being I mean follow
226s me and I will put up music every once in
230s a while yeah I also do quite a bit
232s programming for cops thing usually it
234s takes about 30% of my time and I also
236s help James out a lot
237s I mean he really needs it try to be
240s unique don't don't follow any bandwagons
243s if you like something if you like
245s working in a certain style other people
248s are gonna like it too
249s always strive to become better because
251s people will notice and be humble and you
253s will get jobs if you present yourself as
256s a homework person not as hello I'm the
259s best in the universe hire me my
261s absolute favorite composer is called
263s Thomas Dvorak the composer for most of
266s Amanita designs games and he writes such
268s beautiful music and it's not I'm not a
271s fan of the orchestra you know Hollywood
273s type music his is far from that it's
277s very intimate
278s I really enjoyed
280s the soundtracks feel very appreciated
281s when people they say stuff like and I
283s didn't come here for the trailer I came
285s if with music it's very fun to have
287s people enjoy what you create it means a
290s lot I I really hope people won't be a
294s record
295s disappointed when the music is not as of
297s the beat or you know funny in that sense
300s in the game I think they'll survive
304s [Music]
311s have you ever played runescape I have
313s not ever played runescape no you're
315s American right no you're not American
324s Simon ruining everything time on damn it
330s yes delay cap I'm the best in
335s the universe
