Doing Calculus homework while listening to the MiA soundtrack is lowkey fun. Like, who tf doesn't like doing integrals to the Rumble of Scientific Triumph
@@hashbrownsdraws Honestly, any fantasy manga I read I chuck on the ToG soundtrack in the background. Ignition, Irregular God and Rachel now live rent free in my head
Not Kevin but i love the anime ost for Re:Zero and for games Falcom is amazing with Trails and Ys music. Also love Xenoblade and Fire Emblem soundtracks! Give em a listen if you haven’t. I just have a love for anime and video game OSTs
the ending was so wholesome! trash taste has been an anchor for so many during the pandemic and I can't imagine what it must be like to see your friends create something you enjoy and see them succeed doing it :)
Fukk me I got emotional at the end, started tearing up cause I could relate, the pandemic ruined me as well but content from the lads have honestly improved it. Thank you daddy Penkin for coming on the pod and being so honest and humble
Me too man. I started crying. You can tell Kevin is an OG true trashtaste fan. Up to date on all the memes, referenced things from season 1 and 2. The truest of LADS
IKR. This has been foreshadowed since even season 1. Hell, we've been waiting for this since the second TT stream on the first studio. Or for his true fans, from the very beginning. Cant believe time flies so fast.
Frickity frack Kevin crying at the end made me tear up too and it's like I'm not even there! This was an amazing episode, he's such a sweet guy and it was lovely to hear him talk so passionately about what he does! I'm glad he showed up hah
fuck yes. I'm sure this is how people feel listening to me talk about skateboarding 😂 I LOVE hearing passionate people talk about the shit they love, even if i don't follow haha
Yeah, he's very modest. To have that much knowledge across so many areas of music is really quite impressive. He's a solid conductor too, and that's not an easy skill to learn!
For anyone that doesn't understand texture, as my music teachers taught me: The texture of sound is that trait of sound that makes you distinguish one note played in a piano from the exact same note played in a cello or any other instrument
@@manishsigdel824 timbre and texture are often used interchangeably by musicians - texture is a much more intuitive way to describe timbre for non-musicians - "texture" is sometimes used to refer to the arrangement by musicians, ie whether the ensemble a single melody part against chords, or 4 different melodies at the same time, etc. Really timbre is more scientifically measured by waveform anyway, though the subjective associations we might associate with a timbre are better described through emotional language.
@@Missingnin69 i mean there are words to define the various things that you talked about like orchestration etc. In my personal opinion the boys just made a mistake and said texture instead of timbre like how the confused integer and integral a billion years ago. Kevin wasn't really trying to use all-encompassing words in the conversation and was kinda specific. But I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this
@@manishsigdel824 the difference between music and maths is that mathematics has a more or less universally used (with much variation in some areas but not in others) vocabary internationally - whereas with music, music theory is not some overarching theory with one set terminology, there are regional and subcultural differences between the words composers use. I've heard plenty of musicians casually refer to timbre as texture - again, probably because many feel it captures the subjective experience of sound better. I'm in Perth and familiar with WAAPA's composition department that Kevin went to - they focus very heavily on graphic scores and spectral music there which involve a lot of stuff to do with texture. I also think the distinction between texture and timbre itself isn't necessarily binary. A homophonic texture of a bunch of strings playing in synch as an orchestral section really does have a different timbre to it than a solo violin - such are the wonders of sound. Polyphonic texture has individual instruments playing melodies, but these instruments will no doubt be heard with thinner timbres than if playing block chords. Likewise, this continuity would apply to electronic and electro-acoustic music. On the topic of orchestration, orchestration can refer to arrangement in general, as well as specific arrangement techniques for orchestral or classical ensembles - e.g. familiarities of what arranging styles work for different ranges or properties of instruments. So there's a bit of overlap there too.
I can't believe how adorable Kevin Penkin acts lol. Seems like a genuinely great guy. I love his music and can't wait for MiA: S2! Edit: Also, huge props to Kinema Citrus for giving creatives such freedom. Also, double props to the two directors that but Underground River at that spot in episode 1 LOL.
This was definitely one of the best guests so far, I'm glad the boys are getting to meet up with friends they've been waiting years to see. I'm still a beeps and boops person much like Connor but I'm glad there are people like Kevin out there working so hard at what they love to bring us such great music! Thank you guys again for such a great episode!
Great episode! 👍 Just one nitpick: next time please make sure to set equal levels on all your mics. I understand this was probably a quickly thrown together setup, but it's kinda oof when one mic has very noticeably lower volume than the others, and especially so if it's your guest's mic like has happened here. Very often the guests have rather interesting things to say, and it's a bummer if every comment or 'mhm' sound completely drowns them out.
Your talking about Kevin’s mic right it was bothering me I’ve wanted to see Kevin on the podcast for a while now but I could barely understand what he was saying half of the time.
So happy Kevin and the boys finally got to hang out. Him tearing up at the end I think speaks volumes to how Trash Taste got a lot of us through those tough two years. I know it did for me.
Man, that ending bruh... Looking forward for more moments like this on Trash Taste & with you all fellow "Trash Taste Recepients" in enjoying something only 3 extraordinarily casual lads can provide!
I can not believe that you got Kevin on this show he is an absolute legend. Made in abyss is lo-key one of my favourite anime in recent years and the ost absolutely slaps.
I mean, these guys knew each other for a good amount of time. They always... always talk about Kevin and they even had called Kevin on phone in one of the Trash taste Livestream. But yeah, we are just way too lucky that they somehow were mates
He's an amazing artist and he's so humble about it, he just makes you so curious about the world he works in because he's having genuine fun doing it. Also I love his enthusiasm when he's talking about music, and how he got moved at the end is so cute and wholesome ㅠㅠ
That warm hug at the end. I'm pretty sure a lot of us can relate. Trash Taste has been a lot of help coping up when the world was in lockdown. Helped cheer a lot of people up, and impart knowledge upon your viewers and listeners. Keep up the good work bois!
Kevin is such an amazing and humble person, how he expressed himself about the work he does makes you really want to learn more and understand it more in depth as well. Really loved his personality an also that ending made me tear up so bad, aaaa the way he was expressing his feeling and such gratitude to the boys was so wholesome I just couldn’t hold the tears. TwT❤️❤️❤️
I've known Kevin through the boys for so long and as they say, he's a mate. Wasn't expect it to get emotional in the end, but it's true. Trash Taste definitely helped a lot of people during the pandemic, so thanks boys!
As a musician Kevin is kinda a personal hero of mine and its so nice to see how down to earth and wholesome he is as long as one of the greatest musical talents on earth.
Penkin is such a humble and kind soul. He turned out to be a lot more down to earth and cooler than I expected based off how the boys would describe him (although I haven't witnessed him drunk lol). I hope he'll be able to achieve the balance and normalcy he deserves and I'm happy he has such wonderful friends help him get through each day ❤️
Travel multiple overnight trips to make connections Submit countless works just to gain some attention for free Study a foreign language while attending full college Working while attending college And getting a master in the same field And tells "mate, i don't know how I ended up here" Modesty man!
Not seen any of the shows he's conposed for but still, it's amazing to hear his story and will be happy to have him back again. Really down to earth about the most interesting things in his life. Like Garnt casually informing he was in band. A band that nearly won a decently sized contest. Which also begs to question how the hell he sided with Connor about the boops and the beeps, lol!
Check out Made in Abyss, easily a 10/10 for me in all term, season 2 also coming soon enough. First 7 min of the first episode already hooked me thanks to Kevin amazing soundtracks
@@jawrex28 I actually saw some of Made in Abyss but didn't finish it. I think before the kids went on their adventure, they were talking that night and I remember a background character very aggressively telling them to shut up, lol. My memory on everything else though is vague so I'll maybe rewatch it again.
Made in abyss started pretty slow for me but once they actually go on their adventure it gets so good and towards the end very emotional. I gave it a second chance (tried to watch it a while ago) and was so happy i did
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley isn't that the first episode? Seriously though, Made in Abyss is amazing. It starts slow, but there are more than a few points where I shed tears, and the music truly took it to the next level. The creators even said they left Kevin alone while the second season was in production, purely because they trusted his work so much.
As a person from Perth it is absolutely wild hearing Kevin refer to places I’m familiar with like Northbridge and Mount Lawley. Shoutout to the fellow Perthians, all 2 of you! 😎✌️
Yeah I just got whiplash, hearing about Mt Lawley and Northbrige. (I know it’s a late response, but us Perth people have to stick together in this wide world of the internet)
This looked like a masterclass from the looks of it, Connor didn’t understand a word 😂 Garnt is playing it cool, he's being honest about how he doesn’t understand everything lol but he's still got good questions and Joey knows what's up
I've had Kevin's music stuck inside my head even since Tower of God's trailer. Those vocals still send shivers down my spine, and I'd love to hear a deepdive into the story of how you arrived at that sound. It was, without even an ounce of irony, hauntingly beautiful.
The fact that Garnt met Kevin because of that anime review especially from that comment. shows how being passionate with what you do can get the world to reach out to you. Imagine if Joey actually do anime reviews, the amount of connection he could get from happenstances like that, knowing how much he has already
This was one of the most wholesome episodes of TT. Kevin is such a passionate and humble guy, but clearly comfortable with the bois, and he's done a lot of incredible work, so seeing them bant is really interesting.
That Made in Abyss opening scene with Under the River is one of my favourite anime moments ever. The visuals are beautiful to begin with, but the music is just incredible, and set the tone so well. It's just beautiful.
Kevin looks such a down to earth guy, i knew he is a legend in music composing especially since a big fan of Tower of god, but didn't expect him to this funny and friendly
I´ve been a fan of this man´s work for like 5 years since Made in Abyss aired and it's so surreal watching him talk so casual about tracks that left a mark on me. What a lad.
I've been an avid listener of trash taste ever since the first episode. Tomorrow I leave for bootcamp and I'm listening in for the last time for the foreseeable future. I'll have a whole treasure trove of episodes to listen too whence I'm out. Thanks for giving me so much entertainment boys I'll miss having the podcast to listen to every week.
Fellow Perthian here! Northbridge (and adjacent city side clubs) haven't felt the same since the loss of Fast Eddys 4am drunk feasts. As a huge fan of Anime OST beeps and boops, this is definitely a top 5 guest episode for me. I could listen to Kevin talk shit for hours, I want him and a lot of alcohol on an After Dark episode!
I finished the first season of Made in Abyss yesterday and I can wholeheartedly say that Kevin did an absolutely astounding job with it. It was one of the only anime I have watched which nearly made me cry, and half of that emotion was brought out by the soundtrack. Glad to finally see you on the podcast with the boys and I'm looking forward to experiencing more of your work in the future.
I finished it last week and won't shut up about it. Binged S1 and the Movie. I damn near cried so many times and lost it at my treasure. The song pathway and Hanezeve Caradhina are some of the best in S1. Let's be real. The ost was just GOAT.
By far my favourite Trash Taste so far. Such a huge fan of his, but it's just amazing to hear from a professional from the industry speak so honestly about their work. I know you guys must want more guests like this, but I'm still gonna say that I want more!
Naw, the very ending was quite heartwarming. It's great to see the sentiments spreading to many others around the world in regards to just how putting out good content can have such a positive effect in garbage times.
Tower of God has got to be the best thing I've read recently and hearing Kevin's OST for it's first season absolutely floored me. I'm so glad he was the composer for it, his work on MIA was phenomenal and it really captured the 'not everything is as it seems' ambience of the story so well. based TT episode
As a musician it was really awesome to watch him describe a lot of musical concepts to non-musicians. Kevin is insanely bright, talented, and hardworking, and usually musicians like that have a loud voice in their head that tells them they're not good enough or worthy. I can totally see where the sensitivity and self-deprecating talk comes from. Hope he keeps producing incredible music!
I've loved Kevin's work on everything and especially made in abyss so much so that I'm holding off on reading the manga just to have the full experience with the amazing composition so glad they finally got him on the show! and I do love how its immediately understood how they would always just refer to him as "some dude" he seems really chill
That was an amazing episode as always. I was hoping the boys would ask Kevin how he found Takeshi Saito to sing in Hanezeve Caradhina. I believe his voice was so amazing and so fitting in that song, but i hardly found him anywhere beside on his own youtube channel.
“The rising of the shield hero” the song on Spotify (not the opening song for shield hero) is an absolute banger. Love the violins and I especially love the drop.
I'm going to be 100% honest kevin penkin has made the most complex and beautiful anime soundtracks I have ever seen. From made in abyss to the rising of the shield hero his work is amazing. From anime to western media movies, his work is second to none and I have only a few music composers that comes to mind when I think about the best music makers, the name "kevin penkin" comes to mind.
Not gonna lie, that last minute of wholesomeness is what did this episode for me. Love Kevin for sharing his emotions ♥️
Just when I thought I couldn't love him or his work more. ❤
Definitely needs to be voted for episode 150! 🥺💜
They all got into a hug! It needs to be in the trash taste awards for wholesomeness!!!!!
This made my day.
What did he mean by helping both of us....is there smthing i am missing?
Man I've been waiting for this episode ever since you guys mentioned that you're friends with Kevin.

Ey bro Alex!!

I hope he'll be able to achieve the balance and normalcy he deserves and I'm happy he has such wonderful friends help him get through each day ❤️
The man we've all been waiting for, the man, the myth, the legend. Kevin Penkin
Good episode! However, Joey's mic is like a good 50% louder than the rest, might want to check in on that.

bruh the ending had me tearing up, just like kevin TT has helped a lot of us through the pandemic
Not seen any of the shows he's conposed for but still, it's amazing to hear his story and will be happy to have him back again. Really down to earth about the most interesting things in his life. Like Garnt casually informing he was in band. A band that nearly won a decently sized contest. Which also begs to question how the hell he sided with Connor about the boops and the beeps, lol!
Check out Made in Abyss, easily a 10/10 for me in all term, season 2 also coming soon enough. First 7 min of the first episode already hooked me thanks to Kevin amazing soundtracks
@@jawrex28 I actually saw some of Made in Abyss but didn't finish it. I think before the kids went on their adventure, they were talking that night and I remember a background character very aggressively telling them to shut up, lol. My memory on everything else though is vague so I'll maybe rewatch it again.
Made in abyss started pretty slow for me but once they actually go on their adventure it gets so good and towards the end very emotional. I gave it a second chance (tried to watch it a while ago) and was so happy i did
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley isn't that the first episode?
Seriously though, Made in Abyss is amazing. It starts slow, but there are more than a few points where I shed tears, and the music truly took it to the next level. The creators even said they left Kevin alone while the second season was in production, purely because they trusted his work so much.
Perth gang!!! And WAAPA gang!! It's so inspiring to hear Kevin talk, I still hear him talked about around university, what a legend
WE NEED THIS GUY BACK ON AGAIN, AND WE NEED HIM TO MEET CHRIS AS WELL THAT WOULD BE LEGENDARY
TRUUU
2 BROAD MANS
As a person from Perth it is absolutely wild hearing Kevin refer to places I’m familiar with like Northbridge and Mount Lawley. Shoutout to the fellow Perthians, all 2 of you! 😎✌️
Yeah I just got whiplash, hearing about Mt Lawley and Northbrige. (I know it’s a late response, but us Perth people have to stick together in this wide world of the internet)
@@clairewoods1858 Hell yeah, Perthians rise up ✊😎
Ooooh boy, now that it's trash taste abroad there's sooo many more options for guests. Looking forward to seeing all of them !
This looked like a masterclass
from the looks of it, Connor didn’t understand a word 😂
Garnt is playing it cool, he's being honest about how he doesn’t understand everything lol but he's still got good questions
and Joey knows what's up
The man, the myth, the legend. We are finally getting an episode with the one and only Kevin.
he's a musician, does it for a living
Kevin: i agree with it being all beeps and boops
I've had Kevin's music stuck inside my head even since Tower of God's trailer. Those vocals still send shivers down my spine, and I'd love to hear a deepdive into the story of how you arrived at that sound. It was, without even an ounce of irony, hauntingly beautiful.
that ending was beautiful.. The appreciation from kevin for being friends with the boys is showing.. Legend! Can't wait for s2 of abyss
Kevin is that one friend who does amazing things but doesn't have an idea how he did it
This man made my favorite ost ever , hanazeve caradhina
When I heard it for the first time in the dawn scene I teared up
Agree! When they said goodbye to her and the female singer started singing angels music
I’m so glad to have Kevin on Trash Taste finally. Especially with how he composed music for some big shows including winning a award for Made in Abyss
The fact that Garnt met Kevin because of that anime review especially from that comment. shows how being passionate with what you do can get the world to reach out to you. Imagine if Joey actually do anime reviews, the amount of connection he could get from happenstances like that, knowing how much he has already
This was one of the most wholesome episodes of TT.
Kevin is such a passionate and humble guy, but clearly comfortable with the bois, and he's done a lot of incredible work, so seeing them bant is really interesting.
That Made in Abyss opening scene with Under the River is one of my favourite anime moments ever. The visuals are beautiful to begin with, but the music is just incredible, and set the tone so well. It's just beautiful.
Yay, finally Kevin can confront Connor about that beeps and boops.
And he agrees with connor...
@@troy10troytroy great plot twist
That end was so heartwarming
The insistence of explaining things poorly rather than just googling an image of the item is why I watch these bois
Man the ending was too wholesome.
Kevin looks such a down to earth guy, i knew he is a legend in music composing especially since a big fan of Tower of god, but didn't expect him to this funny and friendly
Man, Kevin is my hero.
I always try and aspire to be able to make music at least 10% as good as him
It will take time, but I'll work hard
Can we all appreciate how wholesome Kevin was at the end?
Had to come back after the awards. Great episode
I´ve been a fan of this man´s work for like 5 years since Made in Abyss aired and it's so surreal watching him talk so casual about tracks that left a mark on me. What a lad.
One of my favourite episodes. Seeing someone talk about their passion like this is so wholesome
Finnaly! An episode with "this fucking guy" we've heard so much
I've been an avid listener of trash taste ever since the first episode. Tomorrow I leave for bootcamp and I'm listening in for the last time for the foreseeable future. I'll have a whole treasure trove of episodes to listen too whence I'm out. Thanks for giving me so much entertainment boys I'll miss having the podcast to listen to every week.
Absolute legend, so glad to see him on. He's not been in the business long and he's already one of my top composers.
That was definitely the most wholesome ending to a Trash Taste episode
Everyone like the vid for that ending, shit got me crying out of relatability, thanks Kevin for finally coming on
I got so blindsided by that, who's cutting onions in here
Absolutely loved this one. Found Kevins' music first time through Made in Abyss and been a fan ever since.
YES! Same here!
25 minutes in and I'm absolutely loving this episode boys. The energy is what I need on this Friday afternoon.
Fellow Perthian here! Northbridge (and adjacent city side clubs) haven't felt the same since the loss of Fast Eddys 4am drunk feasts.
As a huge fan of Anime OST beeps and boops, this is definitely a top 5 guest episode for me.
I could listen to Kevin talk shit for hours, I want him and a lot of alcohol on an After Dark episode!
I finished the first season of Made in Abyss yesterday and I can wholeheartedly say that Kevin did an absolutely astounding job with it. It was one of the only anime I have watched which nearly made me cry, and half of that emotion was brought out by the soundtrack. Glad to finally see you on the podcast with the boys and I'm looking forward to experiencing more of your work in the future.
I finished it last week and won't shut up about it. Binged S1 and the Movie. I damn near cried so many times and lost it at my treasure. The song pathway and Hanezeve Caradhina are some of the best in S1. Let's be real. The ost was just GOAT.
And I'm gonna start today
By far my favourite Trash Taste so far. Such a huge fan of his, but it's just amazing to hear from a professional from the industry speak so honestly about their work. I know you guys must want more guests like this, but I'm still gonna say that I want more!
Kevin is definitely a great composer and will forever thank him for what he did with Made in Abyss bringing it to life
So wholesome almost shed a tear at the end, but just wanted to say THANK YOU GUYS and the TEAM, of course.
Finally! The awaited Kevin episode. This has been teased for so long.
Made In Abyss has probably my favorite OST in anime and it's so cool to hear Kevin talk about it and to see that he's also just a super chill guy.
Wasn't expecting such an emotional ending
Naw, the very ending was quite heartwarming. It's great to see the sentiments spreading to many others around the world in regards to just how putting out good content can have such a positive effect in garbage times.
Tower of God has got to be the best thing I've read recently and hearing Kevin's OST for it's first season absolutely floored me. I'm so glad he was the composer for it, his work on MIA was phenomenal and it really captured the 'not everything is as it seems' ambience of the story so well. based TT episode
As a musician it was really awesome to watch him describe a lot of musical concepts to non-musicians. Kevin is insanely bright, talented, and hardworking, and usually musicians like that have a loud voice in their head that tells them they're not good enough or worthy. I can totally see where the sensitivity and self-deprecating talk comes from. Hope he keeps producing incredible music!
Wow, it finally happened. Kevin seems like pretty cool nerdy guy. And he really made appreciate how much impact a good composer has on projects.
Aww what a wholesome ending
I've loved Kevin's work on everything and especially made in abyss so much so that I'm holding off on reading the manga just to have the full experience with the amazing composition so glad they finally got him on the show! and I do love how its immediately understood how they would always just refer to him as "some dude" he seems really chill
That was an amazing episode as always. I was hoping the boys would ask Kevin how he found Takeshi Saito to sing in Hanezeve Caradhina. I believe his voice was so amazing and so fitting in that song, but i hardly found him anywhere beside on his own youtube channel.
Man, the ending got me teared up. Kevin is the goat!
“The rising of the shield hero” the song on Spotify (not the opening song for shield hero) is an absolute banger. Love the violins and I especially love the drop.
Aww that group hug. 🥺 Can't wait for the next episode with Kevin! ❤️
I'm going to be 100% honest kevin penkin has made the most complex and beautiful anime soundtracks I have ever seen. From made in abyss to the rising of the shield hero his work is amazing. From anime to western media movies, his work is second to none and I have only a few music composers that comes to mind when I think about the best music makers, the name "kevin penkin" comes to mind.
