Hell yes! Thanks Andy
my absolute pleasure!
Andy you're the man - never stop stopping.
35:29 my favorite part. Such music will pleasantly wake up
I have been looking forward to this! Yay!
Great video Andy! Thank you for sharing. I would definitely hear from “black lotus” history / making of.
Cheers, that would be a good one for sure!
Don't know what I'm so addicted to neo classical sound, love of Bach, extreme exposure to Malmsteen at a very early age or growing up in the 80's and early 90's.... Can't figure out why... But you're music give me the fix without going overly retro and outdated... Thank you
Awesome to hear this, thank you!
Finally got round to watching this. Just casually banging out an absolute masterpiece. I know you changed your mind but I agree that that pink section at 46 mins is just stunning. Keep it up man, can’t wait for the new stuff
Cheers Ben!
Thanks for doing this Andy! Love these
My absolute pleasure
Love the breakdown vids man.
Cheers Dan!
This is great!!
I love the whole vibe of this. It's like what I always wanted out of some certain Avenged Sevenfold songs, but done so much better in your own style. This is some great content, man. I can definitely tell that the more you listen to this song, the more you notice other parts. I think you did well working with the drummer, too. 66Samus is great. This is truly a masterpiece, and it's great to see your thought process. I'd love to be able to compose at this level. I just go hard every day, and eventually, it will happen. I'm enjoying the process for sure. I like songs with vibes like this such as Tendinitis by Jason Richardson, Welcome to the Crazy Maze by Andy James, Miles of Machines by Jeff Loomis, Ashes of the Modern World by Apocalyptica, or even your song Nocturne which is amazing. I'm sure you've heard of those songs but if not, check them out, and maybe you feel a similar way. Keep playing, man! I really enjoy your music.
Keep following your passion Jarrod and you can achieve anything. Most important thing is you're enjoying the journey. Best of luck with your music and the musicians you've mentioned are all fantastic so you have some good inspiration there to guide you!
Those evil choir sections are so damned fun to write 😀
By the way, those sliding violins sound kind of middle eastern, very interesting layers.
Thanks Pauli, I totally agree!
Really looking forward to your next album by the way! I didn't know you were making it but Samus happened to mention tracking the drums for it in one of his recent videos, and that's how I found my way to this video. Awesome that he's on there again too :)
I never delete my old ideas either. Sometimes they get lost when hard drives break or cloud service subscriptions end but I usually manage to find them somewhere anyway, and it's always such a blast to listen to old things.
Glad I got a signed copy of this masterpiece of an album!
Thanks for your support!
Love the amount of enjoyment, effort and knowledge that you pour into your work, I can tell you really had fun with this album and that's what made it so special. Love these videos man, awesome work
Thanks Damian! A lot of passion went into this for sure. Cheers!
Yeah man, loving the more frequent videos. Do you reckon you could showcase how you compose and write for scratch? Dont worry about taking a step back from YT, social media is minging mate, so look after yourself. Music is your life blood not YT. Anyway loads of Gillion gold on spotify. Rock on 🤘 much love from Liverpool.
Absolutely love watching these types of videos; it's great when even you are surprised by some of the content! Would love to see more - maybe a song you wrote really long ago, maybe one few people have heard and you could talk through what you might do differently now?
Great idea dude, thanks!
The intro is so fuuuuukking good. It's like melted butter in my ears. Yeah I said it 🤣
I'm not here to judge what you do with with your ears. I am just here to supply the inspiration :D
@@andygillion Hahaha. Good enough 🤭
Well, I'm glad I found you (through Paul Wardingham), this is so awesome. Why didn't YT recommend this to me years ago?
Welcome dude!
amazing, as always!
Thank you Mari!
Love your style you add so much to the mix your ochestration is next level sounds so cool with metal
Thank you Ryan!
Great stuff as always, Andy! Keep it up!
Thanks Daniel!
An other masterpiece!!
Intriguing, Interesting and Immensely Insightful, if I do say so myself. I've got to sit down and work on something soon. In the last year and a half I've really only finished two tunes. Cheers man!
It’s so awesome to know something about you Andy hope we can be in a band or project oneday I consider you my best friend! Keep Rocking Andy you rule!!!
Planning on doing another "inside the project" by any chance? Love those :D
Cheers! Yeah it's in the back of my mind to do another asap. I'm preparing a new album launch so there will no doubt be a new one with that soon :)
The music box always reminds me of the great soundtracks from the "Fable" games...and the pizzicato strings always take me back to the masterpiece soundtrack from "Lost Odyssey"...did video games influence your writing style at all?
Hey Brian, yes absolutely. Games are always a huge source of inspiration for me when writing music. I think I took a lot of influence for this album from the American Mcgee's Alice game, and I was also playing a lot of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at the time of writing it too
This is pure fire dude
Thanks for doing this Andy and hopefully will see you in a band (of your own perhaps?!?) again soon because your tour videos were the absolute best!
Cheers dude!
These psycho strings are soooo good! Love it, man!
Cheers dude!
Thanks for this video, fellow Andy! Noob question, and apologies if you mentioned this and I missed it, but may I ask which plugin(s)/program(s) were used for the orchestration?
Hey dude, too many to name but ewql gold mostly for orchestral stuff on this, Omnisphere 2 for lots of soundscape stuff!
After watching this, and then listening to the track while making the natural journey through the album. I feel like I am hearing it with totally different ears. Like it is in 4d. Maybe that says more about my poor ears than your superb content! I also think I might be the 1k viewer (second viewing).. do I get a prize ;-)
Really nice to hear this Chuck! Thanks man. And it still says 999 views for me so I guess you'd better watch it over again :D
@@andygillion I am 25 mins in but after a refresh you are on 1001!
So awesome! Thanks for sharing all this knowledge and your process man. Cool to see your passion. Fuck that director =p
Haha, thanks dude, my pleasure!
We are waiting for Sonic Guitar Tribute Remastered.
Haha I appreciate that! It's always on my mind. You guys are some of my oldest fans and I will make time for this
@@andygillion can you launch it on Deezer or Spotify?
As a proud Ukrainian I'm glad you took the Carol of the Bells (42:56) inside your music, Andy! 🇺🇦
Heh, the part at 46:05 is possibly my favorite part on the entire album (Other possibilities are the part starting at 0:51 in Becoming the Dream, and the part starting at 5:20 in Neverafter), and I was waiting to hear what you'd have to say about it and you immediately went "This for me is one of the most moving parts of music I've ever written" :D I agree. Just amazing. I kinda wish you'd used it more than once in the song though :D
What is the bass program you're using? It sounds pretty good, I might have to switch :D
I used Scarbee for Kontakt and it sounds really good if the velocities are down around the 60 mark, and using Parallax by Neural for the bass tone
i think my problem with horror movies was that i was always rooting for the bad guy to murder the fuck out of the main characters, not really ever very scary
Hahaha, fair point
What bands/guitarists have influenced your guitar playing style?
So many to mention! In the early days, Slash of course, Hetfield perhaps more than anyone, Vinnie Moore, John Petrucci/Dream Theater, Michael Romeo/Symphony X, Protest the Hero, Sylosis
@@andygillion Hetfield: No wonder you're such a downpicking machine :D
