Thank y'all so much for the love, #Critters! ❤️ I seriously can't stop saying how amazing #CriticalRole has been for my music! 🏰⚔️🐉 But the ride is FAR from over-here's our #TalksMachina host, BRIAN WAYNE FOSTER's theme: ua-cam.com/video/yXa4d_a--fY/v-deo.html Enjoy!
1:54 "Scanlan? Are you there? ... Grog said the funniest things today. Here's what happened..." I just imagine her talking with Scanlan with this soft music playing in the background while she sits on her bed with a fire hardly bright enough to light the corner of the room and a pale moon light shining over her, but not actually touching her.
@@thedungeonmaestro Such a neat little detail that helps tie them all together. Each even has that very recognizable and unique little musical idea that could be used as a leitmotif by a film scorer. Fantastic job.
As someone who is new to D&D (and is also the cleric of my group), this made me so happy to hear. Super late to the party, but Pike has been my first love of the show, and she keeps giving me more reasons to love her every time Ashley's on. Well done with her theme!
Excellent job on this one! The way the melody creates this never ending journey into something greater and grander, with tying in some sorrow & ever growing harmony, you did it man. You captured Pikes essence in song format and it's a masterpiece : ' )
I loved the subtle touches(intentional or not) of what sounds like organ. I heard it when the change happened at around 2 minutes. It reminded me of a church, and as Pike is a cleric it makes sense.
This nearly brought tears to my eyes! It's so hauntingly beautiful! I can totally see so many of Pike's "moments" while listening! EXCEPTIONAL WORK, SIR, WELL DONE!!!
This theme got me genuinely a bit teary eyed, as do all things that ave to do with Pike. Honestly with each theme you get better and better! Can't wait to hear more! :D
I've been enveloped in a Critical Role obsession for a while now, but never took the time to listen to these. I'm glad I decided to now, because they are absolutely brilliant, but I should've listened sooner! Completely blown away by your compositions; thank you so much for making and sharing them! On to the next!!
This is simply astounding!!!!!! From the innocence and hopefulness of Pike's character, to the resounding symphony that is the majesty of Serenrae's light, you have encapsulated every ounce of her spirit. I'm currently binge-hearing all of your themes. Sorry i'm late to the party btw. These anthems are so emotive and deserve to be heard by all music lovers. The feels are real. Keep doing what you are doing
I love all of the themes so much but this is just so perfect. Even my friend who doesn't know much about the show or the characters commented on how well these themes suits them. So congrats! Also may use these to make them watch the show finally!
Thank y'all so much for the love, #Critters! ❤️ I seriously can't stop saying how amazing #CriticalRole has been for my music! 🏰⚔️🐉 But the ride is FAR from over-here's MATTHEW MERCER's theme: ua-cam.com/video/XmsuE1Dn0Mk/v-deo.html Enjoy!
And so Sarenrae said, let there be light! And thus he created a Pike lol. Sarenrae then said, let her have a theme worthy of her name. And then he created an Aiden Chan. Lol but all jokes aside, I don't know what it is about this grand, sweeping song, but since beginning work on my second draft of my story I'm hoping to get published, this has quickly become a song I turn to more and more regularly. Keep up the amazing work Aiden, and I hope you get the recognition you deserve because these tracks are worthy of the praise you've so far received.
Hearing this again in the aftermath of episode 114 and I'm just weeping tears of joy. The more i hear this, the more i want to hear a genuine orchestra play this and all the anthems. Viva Vox Machina❤
You are a blessing to the world, im a DM, been doing it for a while now and im a middle of a writers block but this music, every one of them has inspire me again and im writing like crazy, Thank You so much for sharing your talent with us.
I would suggest after you do the character themes you try to do one for the DM, Matt would go wild I think! He likes hand written letters and one of these is a musical version of one (yes I know you use a computer but but they are from you and the heart & soul of the music is you!)! Also it might also be a musical challenge to reflect the theme in the music but also reflect his many voices on the show and beyond!
I had to like this video, knowing full well that it would bring it to the awful number of 901 likes. Uncomfortable perfectionism aside, I had to give it the recognition.
Another one for the playlist. Your work is amazing and needs to be heard by anyone and everyone who's a fan of Critical Role! Hell, the cast of Critical Role needs to hear your work! On a side note, do I detect a hint of Narnia in the beginning because it sounds very similar? Anyway, great job and keep them coming!
I am simply in AH. This is one of the first songs I have listened to since boot camp. And I am just...Just so blown away by everything. Every single inch of my body is covered in goosebumps. This is just...wow, You are extremely talented.
Love, love, loooove this. It really brings in Pike's caring, all embracing persona, and her softer side that only her closest friends really get to know. She's kind yes, but her humility, empathic vulnerability, and genuine fragility is still there; and all that is brought out here to hear. You can practically feel the pressure on her, mixed with her determination to do the right thing and protect, nurture, and encourage as many people as she can.
This took me right back into campaign 1- just flashbacks of pike. Her kindheartedness, images of her rebuilding and aiding those in crisis, her forgiveness, the pure emotion when she spoke to Scanlan that drunken night in the bar, the inspiration she was to her family, and her willingness to jump in the fray to aid them. This is amazing.
I feel that this and Vax are the best balanced I feel instead of highlighting only one or two aspect you very much encapsulated the characters as a whole. good job
OMG YES! Been waiting for this. I've listened to the others a few dozen times and cannot wait for Grog's and Scanlan's. Will you be doing one for Tiberius?
Thanks so much for sticking around :) And be ready for some shenanigans with those two! Also yes, Tibs will definitely get some musical love! #CriticalRole
Super duper stoked for Tiberius and Grog's themes! Tiberius is one of my favorites. Orion played him so well. I can't wait for how primal Grog's will be, and then how soft at times, cuz he's a cinnamon roll with Vox Machina.
You got yourself a new subscriber. These themes for the Critical Role cast and characters are outstanding and just what I was looking for to listen to. I cant wait for your next piece!
Hey nice work man! Love the part at 1:14. Didn't know someone else was doing this, as well -- though I'm not surprised considering the all the art that's made in the critter community! :-)
This should have been played when Pike came crashing in during the Tide of Bone episode of The Briarwood Arc.. or at least a "lesser" version of it.. and then during the final bits of Campaign 1 - the upgraded, remastered version
Thank you so much! Download links are in the description (on all the videos)-they'll be up on Spotify maybe soonish; the Vox Machina theme is also on iTunes if you'd like to donate :)
Hey Aiden! Have you thought about asking CR to make these their official themes? It would be so amazing to hear one of VM go, "oh, that's my theme!" and see Matt appropriately placing these gems in his playlist. I love every single one of these!
Hey Aiden one where did u get the neat art like irl looking drawings of the crit role crew and also if you could do u think you'd be able to make a theme for one of my characters? :3
Any chance of these being uploaded to Spotify and other streaming services? I obviously have no issue in getting on UA-cam to listen, but it would be much more convenient for battery purposes and such
Not really...not one at least...like the music my mind jumps across multiple episodes and moments to (hopefully) draw upon their personalities more accurately :D

"Gripping her holy symbol in one hand, and her Morningstar in the other, this time, Pike is ready."
Sarenrae's little monstah!!! I'm so glad she's joined the fray
So wish I could comment with GIFs-insert #AshleyJohnson saying "YEEEHHH"
1:54 "Scanlan? Are you there? ... Grog said the funniest things today. Here's what happened..." I just imagine her talking with Scanlan with this soft music playing in the background while she sits on her bed with a fire hardly bright enough to light the corner of the room and a pale moon light shining over her, but not actually touching her.
Alpha Ouch, my emotions.
Ow, why'd you do that to me t.t
As the cleric of the group I'm DMimg, I played this at my mom's funeral the other day. She was the light in the group. Now my light is gone.
I know it’s late but you have my condolences and there is always that light to be found if you know where to look.
After all Pike found it.
“A flame may go out but you can always relight it”
I love how you incorporated Vox machina's theme. Pike really is the heart of this team
Haha the VM theme's in ALL of them...some more subtly than others ;)
@@thedungeonmaestro Such a neat little detail that helps tie them all together. Each even has that very recognizable and unique little musical idea that could be used as a leitmotif by a film scorer. Fantastic job.

I can’t wait for season 3

I try :) So glad you liked it! Stay tuned for Mercer's theme next! #CriticalRole
Monstah! :D

Pike will always be the heart of the group no matter what!
chris1763 as are all healers 😜 I personally love them all-I have no favorites cuz they're all my favorite! #CriticalRole
Well i have some news for you guys
The story ends... unexpectadly all i'll say
This theme got me genuinely a bit teary eyed, as do all things that ave to do with Pike. Honestly with each theme you get better and better! Can't wait to hear more! :D
This played in my head when my paladin took down a vampire and broke the curse that was poisoning the land. So beautiful.
I love the very subtle call back to the Vox Machina theme around 2:30. You do amazing work!!! I've loved all of the cr themes you've done!!
Thank you! Haha I'd hardly call it subtle-but, yeah I like featuring the VM theme somehow in all the character themes :) #CriticalRole

Gentle and sweet yet mighty and awe inspiring much like pike herself this is a masterful piece of music
I hear first 20 seconds and I'm like it's pike

Thank you so much for the wonderful words! Haha I hadn't thought of that, but I can hear where you're coming from xD
this is divine. which fits perfectly.
Hahaha I see what you did there ;) Thanks so much!

It's beautiful and perfect. You have a great talent and I can't wait for more.
Thanks so much! I only mirror the true perfection that is #CriticalRole! :)
Sty tuned for Mercer's theme next! :D
This is beautiful. Its feels like my heart opened and sang 😌👼

This music is amazing, it reminds me so much of the music from JRPG's from the 90's, i loved that music so much.
Thank you for capturing Pike so perfectly
I feel that this and Vax are the best balanced I feel instead of highlighting only one or two aspect you very much encapsulated the characters as a whole. good job
OMG YES! Been waiting for this. I've listened to the others a few dozen times and cannot wait for

Getting churchy plagal hints here and there! Nice!
This one actually brought tears. So well done!
this made my heart soar! such a good composition

This is fantastic, keep up the amazing work!
BattleFrag91 Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more #CriticalRole music-Mercer's up next! 😁
your music is absolutely breathetaking. great great job.
Yesssss. I always get so excited when I find out you've uploaded a new song! Amazing job as always. Keep it up :)
wunderschön
Love it! Am I noticing a nod to the vox machina theme at about 2:30?
Well, Vox Machina is the core of Pike's life now, next to Sarenrae... makes sense that Vox Machina is in the center of Pike's song
Thanks! :)
And yup-I always put in a little VM in all the themes
these are really good man. i dunno if the cast has heard em yet but god damn i love em
Wonderful :D
๖The Colour Keeper Thanks so much! ☺️ It's YOU #Critters who are wonderful! #lessthanthree
GAH, I wish they noticed you! your songs are awesome!
Beautiful! And it really encompasses Pike.
This is great. So beautiful to listen to and so fitting for our beloved gnome cleric! Thank You!
I'm so glad you liked it! Thank YOU for the kind words :)
Lovely as always!
Thank you! Glad you stuck around :)
Hey nice work man! Love the part at 1:14.
Didn't know someone else was doing this, as well -- though I'm not surprised considering the all the art that's made in the critter community! :-)
Truly the heart of vox machina
You are my hero. This is absolutely incredible!!!
Monsta.
Clank, clunk, clonk! Pike rolls a 1 on stealth.
Perfect!!! Like the strings setting the tempo.
Thank you! Haha I am a string player after all ;)
another great piece of music. good work
Thanks so much!
Awesome!
Beautifully done as always! ;-)
Thanks so much! :)
yesss! always inspiring, keep up the amazing work!
Thanks so much!
SOMEHOW I missed this one :-( Pike yes I do believe you caught her well in the music
Thanks so much! Apart from Mercer's, Pike's theme is my favorite xD
This should have been played when Pike came crashing in during the Tide of Bone episode of The Briarwood Arc.. or at least a "lesser" version of it.. and then during the final bits of Campaign 1 - the upgraded, remastered version
As always great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you've stuck around! Stay tuned for Mercer next :)
this makes me want an animated movie of critical role.
A movie doesn't cut it. We need a full tv series. Voiced by the critical role cast.
Wish granted. Animated special project announced by the crew for Kickstarter
@@Critical1ce Are you serious!? Can you send a link?
nukethefridge.com/critical-role-launches-kickstarter-for-animated-cartoon/
ITS CHRISTMAS FOR ME, THEYRE ALL HERE!
Glad you liked it! Tho not quite-gonna do Mercer's next, then Tibs, Grog, & Scanlan! #CriticalRole
These are amazing and I want to use them in my home game!
She went to hell and back for her friend. Above and beyond.
So awesome, keep it up!!!
Thank you! :)
Love this so very much
If anything makes me want to roll-up a new Zealotian Priestess character it's this moving music...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
#lessthanthree :)
I love these!!! Where's Grog's music? These are all so great!
Dude, these are amazing! Is there a way these can be downloaded or purchased? Because I need them ALL.
Thank you so much! Download links are in the description (on all the videos)-they'll be up on Spotify maybe soonish; the Vox Machina theme is also on iTunes if you'd like to donate :)
After 4:36 is that part of the theme or a video outro because there is no fadeout.
Hey Aiden! Have you thought about asking CR to make these their official themes? It would be so amazing to hear one of VM go, "oh, that's my theme!" and see Matt appropriately placing these gems in his playlist. I love every single one of these!
Hey Aiden one where did u get the neat art like irl looking drawings of the crit role crew and also if you could do u think you'd be able to make a theme for one of my characters? :3
The title should be "Saranrae's Angel"
Will we get themes for Scanlan, Grog, Tarry, and maybe Tiberius?
If you ever make one of these for scanlan, it should feature the voice talent of Alaska thunderfuck
The person who drew these, they look like photos
Where is the shorthalt rhapsody?
Any chance of these being uploaded to Spotify and other streaming services? I obviously have no issue in getting on UA-cam to listen, but it would be much more convenient for battery purposes and such
Do you have specific scenes in mind when you do any of these?
Not really...not one at least...like the music my mind jumps across multiple episodes and moments to (hopefully) draw upon their personalities more accurately :D
what is ur violin size? im buying a violin someone said I should use 3/4 or 4/4 cause im 13yrs old
Pike is best girl and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise
Did I hear some of your original Vox Machina theme in there!?
#lessthanthree #critters :)
Pikey-poo
