What happens when a pro composer hears your favorite game music?
I’m Mattias Holmgren (aka Gelhein), a Swedish producer and designer with 25+ years of industry experience. On this channel, I take deep-dive reactions into Game OSTs, breaking down the composition, sound design, and emotional impact from a professional perspective.
Beyond the music, I’m here to guide YOU in music production and creativity. I share the tricks I’ve learned over two decades to help the next generation of creative producers.

Today’s marks the day. MorningDAW, the DAW my brother Nicklas and I have been building, is out now. And it’s free for everyone.
It’s built for speed (MAC and WINDOWS). Get it here morningdaw.com/
What’s inside:
* Arrange, launch and program. Timeline, clip launcher, step sequencer and piano roll, all views of the same song.
* Ideas on tap. Scale Lock, plus chord progression and melody generators built into the piano roll.
* Two new powerful but lightweight synths: Wyvern (wavetable) and Ember (virtual analog), plus Sampler, Drum Machine and a full set of effects.
* A deep audio editor. Zero-crossing edits, envelopes, onset slicing, and export of regions as separate files, great for samples and game audio.
* Real mixing. Dedicated Mixer, LUFS metering, CLAP and VST3 plugins, MPE and ASIO.
* Modulation & Remotes. Powerful modulation, automation and remotes!
And for the retro crowd, there’s a real tracker with SID, PSG-49 and classic FM chips.

Hey Genshin Impact lovers! Get ready for yet another live reaction show tomorrow (September 30th). This time we dig into the solo album of Yu-Peng Chen, famous from crafting the magical score to early Genshin Impact. If we're lucky he might also join us in the stream (who knows...) *hint hint*

Thanks to everyone who manage to drop by last nights spontanous Game Music Show.😊 I had some initial problem with YT Music API changes, but with the help of AI got a quick Brave extension script working to get our nice music player up and running again in OBS!
What OST should we cover in the next Game Music Show?
