Throughout the stream just to get dz’s perspective I’ve always been curious about like what dzel thinks of the world you know there’s some great Frank Zappa songs on the topic of Frank Zappa just about like a dog’s perspective there’s a song called um Evelyn the modified dog

And it’s really great I probably can’t play it on the stream but you know if anyone’s curious 100% a dog person YouTube’s limit cool I love to see that how do I say is it gager gaja a FES of Gea I’m so sorry if I’m saying it

Jonno I I tell most people my name is John Jon is a hard name for people to say in America for whatever reason and unusual you know in South Africa like Jon is short for Jonathan pretty like consistently but when I came here it’s like an unusual name you

Know so funny I remember when I started doing music I started playing live and you know you start to like try like think of a name and I never thought jono was a cool name I called myself schmidi in the beginning that’s actually like this YouTube channel was originally called Schmitty

Um way back in the when cuz I just didn’t think jonno was a cool name I was like what a what a normal name but it turns out it’s a cool name you know but I only realized that later on in life I have a friend from South Africa

Well shout out to your friend from South Africa I bet they’re awesome bet they’re awesome shout out to my South African Brethren I share a birthday with my dad on the 5th of April you guys must have an awesome celebration every year happy birthday for the fth of

April thank you my name you have a cool name too cool I think I’m just going to call you cool from now on you know what I mean just going to be the cool person in the chat oh hello Shadow I don’t know if Shadow

With a five is still in the chat Shadow with a five says the audio is good a while ago but hello my other sister one without the dogs and my dad share a birthday that’s also pretty sweet let me quickly see as I’m so unprepared um if I can find the first

Song from this thing so we we can just get in the vibe guys if you just tuning in um I kind of want you to play Minecraft right now not to force you good morning LTI how are you oh Gail hello Gail how are you Shadows still Ling

What’s up I kind of want you guys to play Minecraft like I don’t want to like force you to do anything you know that’s kind of weird but I figured if you’re here you probably enjoy playing Minecraft and I think it would be sweet if you just play Minecraft and I make

Music and we just kind of hang out and I mean it might be irritating cuz you know the music making process is such that things get repeated all the time and all of this and that you know but it could be super insightful to me MC here we

Go just to help me out you know how are you guys ending your New Year by the way what are you doing for New Year I’ve just been drawn hold on I got to catch up here I’m still here Ling I want to feed crows until they give me money and then feed

Them better food well you know we got crows around here on East LA we got all kinds of Critters in East LA okay here is the first song yeah yes here it Is make a bit softer and we called this song new World Pokemon stuff is just as cool just play a game this theme came to me one day bro can’t even tell you guys I was like byy my piano and then I I just heard it I’m sorry for the crackling if there’s crackling I hear crackling in my headphones I don’t know Why forgot about that Base what did I want you to do in Minecraft whatever you want to do in Minecraft we’re still I’m going to tell you guys like what the song is about so this obviously this song is like the world being created it’s like when you start the game like there’s nothing it’s like it

Generates this world you know so I had this Theme it’s like exploring and then the world expands a little more right and then something bad happens something bad happens you know you encounter your first skeleton you die get blown up by a creeper but then you kind of are like regenerated and then it resolves and I feel like that’s life you

Know what I mean not to get too deep into this I’ve really been thinking about it you start off right you go on this brand new Adventure you take the first step it’s mysterious like you don’t know where why is it crackling like this sorry you don’t know where it’s going to Go resolution now it’s good for a little while you know things are going Good uh-oh bad something bad happened but because you’re a Minecraft G you resolve you know what I mean that’s the vibe that’s the game it’s like this circle of um growing growing growing starting again oh it’s not crackling on your end okay cool might just be on my end so that’s

Fine but you know it’s like you’re doing this cycle it’s like life you know it’s like life it’s the cycle of like good and bad and just constantly like the adventure um is just unfolding it’s just expanding and then something bad happens and like you get like three steps up the

Ladder and then you fall down a couple steps and then then you climb up again and it’s just like it’s just expanding you know yeah sorry I’m going to get like deep into my idea for the next song I spoke to Ren about this and ren

Was like he said like he thought like Minecraft was like blocks so I have these echoing things that are like the blocks being placed you know I hear something off oh you might there might be a crack and now we expand a little bit more you guys wanted Subs you know [Applause] And I want to like develop these themes it’s like reaching the top of the mountain we’ve now reached the top of the mountain and now the cycle starts again verman CR season 10 baby coming soon you know what I mean you love to see it that was just Mystery oh yeah I have like dream of hearing it real strings playing this that would be so amazing I’ve never gotten to how my music played by like real People and now it’s like big explosion now the loading is done start Small the world’s growing gr now it’s Gr expansion wo right that’s like the beginning the world is made and naturally in my mind and guys please like this new song we’re just starting out but my first idea was to do a song about like chopping wood because I figured that’s like the first thing you do but then I

Was like no we can’t just go straight into chopping wood I feel like there would be like the Dawn the wers created and now it’s like the first Dawn so the song Started as like chopping wood and I like went onto I downloaded like a wood shopping sound I went onto YouTube and

Just this video is like kind of I want to talk to you guys about how Minecraft can like Inspire stuff right so I went and cuz I thought like a wood song would need to be in time let me me turn around hold on I thought a wood chopping song would

Need to sound the way Wood chopping sounds and like if if if you’re chopping wood and you want music for the wood chopping it can’t be it’s like the wood chop is like it’s like goes in fives and do you want the music to kind

Of like be able to flow with that so I came up with this piano motive um which I’m G to show you guys hold on which winning Fives and this kind of turned into the dawn for me and I took the Melody which you’ll have seen but now I did something different when like E Minor and that’s The You get the vibe let me not embarrass myself hello so let’s switch over to this screen welcome in I’m doing so good how are you and uh show you guys what I have going on for part two oh hold on everything’s not mixed nice though This is Qase no it’s going to get bigger and I want to put some beautiful horn lines in between I did this all you know threw it down we going to tidy it up I haven’t done anything but the piano P what program would you use for free I’m not

Sure I used uh reason first and then I migrated to cuase somewhere in between Let me just see something here do that okay Let’s get to Work okay so let’s get this violin to also play also play That Note flight is decent not as many instruments as MW Score the violin is Beautiful I also want to add a viop phone I think they sound great blame Frank Zapp for That sounds so Good love it but it needs to come in Earlier but super soft that totally threw me off that’s it one Two Don octave changed my mind Bas and beats zoom in a little Bit one 2 three four 5 one 2 three four beautiful it’s so Subtle let a ring how Beautiful I messed that one up for sure so let’s just cut the rest out but that this other one was was good just that was rubbish oops I think I do A and E You little thing Okay take that last thing out thank you melody Ah that was so close that was so close that was so close Just need to move this one a little bit to There oh you guys don’t even know what we have in store for this part oh it’s going to be so sweet I’ve I mean I hope I can remember I came up this like right before we Streamed got some Brass come on guys ain’t that pretty let’s lay it down need the low ones Though In between you Know and then we cut it all there you know damn what do you want to see show us some socks oh I got check the shoes out though these are some of my favorite shoes hold on bro be professional about this don’t mess my swag bro I’m dripping I got the drip

Bro and the wires I got all the drip and all the [Laughter] wires guys please don’t let me embarrass you like that don’t let me embarrass you like that don’t ask me what what socks are you wearing hey how about that what socks are you wearing how dare you

Question the leader of the sock gang that is not cool I’m joking that was nice though right live scene I like It Let’s try to get some harmonies here Bro that’s very pretty okay what else do we have here what else what is this like bet that woke you up all the sounds [Laughter] bro for a second I thought there like drums would be cool you know but I think that’s too Avatar what this was like would this okay he

Has a question would this be sweet for like scary Minecraft music like cuz people like wanted percussion and stuff but would you guys had this like if you were in a dungeon you know would this be the vibe when you’re like getting sieged bro yeah I could see it I could see it

That’s going to be a fun song to make but no drums in this song it’s too pretty we need some flutes give it some time guys give it some time load you know I got a new beasts being made it’s going to be the most hardcore machine

That ever was feels like Temple Run yeah makes you not want to chill I’m thinking about the ancient city wow that’s pretty sweet we need biome music too there’s like a lot of biomes for us to cover which shall also be Fun so it’s either that the flute play plays this line with the horns well that the flutes play what the violins are playing you know I have this pretty violent part that the flutes could Play Also have this weird what is this LOL I think this would be better being plucked whole Ensemble Pato yeah this flut is the hottest flest in the West Berlin strings let’s see what PLU we have sck gang for life you love to see that cross your fingers Guys okay that’s promising It’s like all the notes are Loading it’s got a mine of its [Laughter] own I love that only for the first ones though love it what is this Nice Line let me just uh change this violin I try to be smart and stretch it out a bit But I think it’ll be better if we do some touching up here a little too too Wacky is these nines bro causing me Grief you know what it has to play I know exactly what it is that horn Line okay that’s our Base he has the cello needs to play the horn Line Exactly I I need just make make another one though is this Tina let’s duplicate this one get rid of that and then it would be this top one I believe like So Going to be Awesome Bang pretty nice going to bed I think I’m going to join you in the going to bed front so thank you so much everyone for hanging on and uh hope you guys enjoyed the music I’m very excited about this I hear a lot of very mystical things going on
