Nox Arcana - Ghosts Of Christmas Past (Cover - Slower Original Version)
updated
...boy, it's been a while since I've uploaded anything on this account. I've been quite busy with both my life and my other channel ( youtube.com/user/RorunaK ), but I still try and make time for covers and remixes! I have another Castlevania-themed thing in the pipeline - and it involves the piano.
Not much to say about this arrangement. It's Bloody Tears, you already know it. All my thanks go to ninsheetmusic for providing a MIDI, because it was hell trying to transcribe this by ear. Original song by Kenichi Matsubara.
Enjoy!
hope you like it!

Keep in mind that the left-hand part might not be 100% accurate - I transcribed it to the best of my ability, but it was hard to hear...
(The original song belongs to koronba.)
I made this a loooooong time ago because it seemed like there was no instrumental version of it anywhere, which is heresy, it being one of the best boss themes ever. It was also made as the karaoke of a cover I'll be uploading on my other channel soon.
This arrangement wouldn't be possible without the lovely sheet music made by Puffihn, which I used as the reference for the notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVSndKcouYs
The image is from one of the official art references, however I'm not sure exactly who to credit for it. If you know the exact artist please tell me!

Feel free to use this for covers or whatever! I'd appreciate it if you could make any videos you make with it responses to this one, 'cause I'd love to hear them!

You'll notice that there are some differences between the sheets and Takushika's version, and there are also slight differences between the sheets and what I'm playing here. I changed some aspects of Takushika's arrangement, partially to be closer to the original song, and partially just because of my own preference. I made some slight changes when I was playing, which I didn't think needed to be added to the sheet music.
(If you'd like to play her version exactly, check out the tutorial she uploaded on her channel.)
I'm sorry I sound so bad here...I had a VERY small window of time in which to record, so I could only make two takes. (You'll notice there's a very choppy transition between the two, because I had to edit them together. I wasn't able to get a full recording.) That's also why I make so many mistakes...I'm sorry. I mainly just wanted to get the sheet music uploaded, so my horrible performance isn't really the point of this video anyway.
Original song: Ho-ong-i ft. SeeU
Arrangement: Takushika230896 (with edits from me)
Original song by Michael Kunze/Sylvester Levay.
Apologies for the slowness and the couple mistakes - I only started learning the song a few days ago.
Credits!
Original song: Jun Maeda
Sheet music: Lavenderlufer
Enjoy!
The sheet music was arranged by Kim Duy Vo, and found on http://www.ninsheetm.us
(The original song is written by Kumi Tanioka, no copyright infringement intended.)
Heh, I've been obsessed with this song for the longest time. It's just so damn catchy, not to mention Galaco is one of my favorite Vocaloids... One day I just decided, "Well, I haven't seen any sheet music for it...but why don't I just make my own arrangement?"

Oh hey, can anyone tell me if something is off with the panning? Like, does it sound too far left or something? I was having trouble mixing it and it sounds fine to me now, but I'm worried that might be a problem with my headphones.

Of course I slowed it down a little, because...that's just what I do. Sorry for any mistakes.

Just uploading some more Martha Mier stuff. I have a couple other songs recorded, but I'm too lazy to upload them yet...
Song: Song of Peace
Composer: Martha Mier
Book: Romantic Sketches Book 2
Played by: TheWolfenSiren
Album includes:
* 15 songs (13 tracks and 2 bonus tracks)
* A readme with information, credits, and Special Thanks
* A special Submachine 9-based short story written to correlate with the album.
I'm really happy to have it all done. :) Any questions, problems, or comments, bring 'em on!
Currently I do have plans for a Submachine 10 Fan Soundtrack, but I won't start it for a while. Right now I'm going to take a break and focus on working on some other musical projects (if I owe you sheet music or something, don't worry, I'm workin' on it), and get back to uploading piano covers.
Changelog of edits made to the songs since I uploaded them here:
* "Secrets Room Theme" - Increased volume.
* "The God Who Never Answered" - Levels adjustments.
* "Submerged Machine" - Levels adjustments, minor preset tweaks.
* "Lurking Nothingness" - Reworked completely. Album includes both new version and demo (original) version.
The album will be put up for download tomorrow! I'll release it with a new video, detailing everything it includes. :)

I went back and forth on this song for a while. I wanted to do something with a choir for a church, but everything I tried turned out TOO melodic. Eventually I just went with a melody interrupted by bursts of dissonance. It doesn't really sound like a Submachine song, but hey, these are just my ideas.
Also - only one song left to write, peoples! Then all I need to do is make sure everything's up to speed, organize/write the "bonus features", and do the final touches for the files. Then it's album release time!

I wasn't sure as to what to do for a secrets room for a while. Initially I thought of going for an upbeat theme like Sub 4's, but I thought that, with the rest of my soundtrack being rather dark, something more somber and calm would fit. And since a piano song has been added to SNEE, I thought, well, why not a little piano thing?

I was recently given a great gift - the H4next handheld recorder. It's taken me a while to figure out how to use it, but now - holy crap, how much better does this sound then my camera videos?
Unfortunately it only records audio, so if you'd like an actual video of me playing the song, then I'll have to record me playing it once with the microphone, then another time with the camera, and sync them up. I'm sure I'll find a good solution. :)
(The song is Solfeggietto - I just opened my classical book and played the first song I saw.)

This song wasn't intended to be part of the main soundtrack, so it doesn't have a number, but I'll add it to the album once I put the completed thing up for download.

Anyway, I've wanted to play this song for a long time, and after it was suggested by the lovely lolitasplay (which you should check out: http://youtube.com/lolitasplay ), I finally got off my butt and did it.

This cover is a little rushed since I only had an hour to make it, but I thought it'd be a nice gift to my Nox Arcana subscribers who've been left in the dust a bit lately. :P (You might wanna turn up your volume to hear the song better, sorry 'bout that.)
I'm thinking of doing music box versions of other Nox Arcana songs, so tell me in the comments which songs you'd like to see music-box-ified! (Remember, I can only do the ones I have the sheet music for.
Enjoy!

No one will ever understand my love of combining Yume Nikki songs and the Wub Machine.

Sometimes, wandering in the Subnet, you forget what "submachine" even means. You're underground, always. It's a depressing thought. Somehow the dark world seems more oppressive with the knowledge that you're lost within a vast submerged machine.

This song would play during the ending, after entering whatever portal would take you to the "Exit" that Submachine 10 is titled for. The title of this song sort of ties into my theory that the player is an experimental construct created in Murtaugh's lab, and that the first game (the basement) was a video-game like program designed to test their intelligence and suitability for travel in the Subnet.

This song would play in the main area of the temple when you first enter it. A former paradise of crumbling, rotten stone that somehow still manages to be beautiful. You feel safe here. But you know you have to find Elizabeth, and the temple seems to be getting darker...

This theme would play in the first area, the "courtyard" of the temple, or an area outside it somehow. You can feel the imposing presence of the temple, and you don't know what you'll find once you go inside...
The logo is just a little thing created by me.

I noticed that the theme from the Snow World and the Barracks Settlement/Ghost Town sounded good together, so I thought, why not put them together in a piano arrangement? There's also a little added-in something that's vaguely reminiscent of the FC World theme.
Enjoy!
Oh my gosh you guys, I can't believe this. I joined YouTube 3 years ago, and now I'm reaching 100 videos, with 106 lovely subscribers. I cannot describe just how happy it makes me when I see that people are enjoying my videos. You guys rock, okay.
Anyway, as for the video...surprise! Several people had asked me to make a cover of Lullaby, but I couldn't for the longest time, because the sheet music wasn't included in Music For The Shadows. Then, I found pippin254's amazing tutorial for the song. I wrote out sheet music for his arrangement, and he generously allowed me to share it with all of you. Go thank him - I'll post this as a video response to his cover.
You can find the sheet music here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?9iwvclo2a20c9uw
The song itself isn't hard, but I'm glad to be uploading some "bonus" Nox Arcana covers. Here's to another 100 videos! Enjoy! :)
And you guys...have you realized...this is my 99th video? I have something special planned for the 100th. ;) After that, hold tight, because I have a few important announcements about this channel I'll be making. (Don't worry, nothing bad!)
Enjoy!

Yes, I finally did another Nox Arcana cover. I know I kept you guys waiting for a long time, but I finally learned Nevermore (which isn't very difficult - it's actually a very simple song) - and what better time to upload it than Halloween?
I didn't change anything at all in the arrangement - this is exactly what's written in the book. And look - I improved my page-turning skills!
Anyway, thanks for the patience, guys. I'll also be uploading a video with important announcements and updates very soon, so look forward to that. Enjoy!

This particular arrangement comes from yakeduli (though I played it down an octave in order to not break the camera). His sheet music can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=7pG3NbQOClk
Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!
(Original song is written by Nathan Griegg, and has the respective copyright.)
I promise I will get back to making piano videos soon. :P

There's a bit of a story behind this upload. Maybe one or two of you remember that in a video last year, I lamented that I couldn't upload a song I had recently recorded that I really liked. I was able to record it after I had gotten the change to use a local recording studio, and the song used multiple voices and parts from my keyboard. I consider this the very first "real" song I've ever written.
And now, a year later, I found a way to upload it for you! I do still love this song immensely, and I hope you do too.
Enjoy!
Unfortunately, this moment of bliss for your ears is not to last, as there is a long story as to why I'm uploading this video, and how. You'll get to hear the whole thing on a video I'm uploading tomorrow. ;)
Anyway, for now, enjoy Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody On A Theme By Paganini, recorded on a grand piano and played by me. The picture is also taken by me, and of my own lovely piano.
Enjoy!
The songs, in order, are:
1.Title
2.Snow World
3.NASU Title Screen
4.Game Over
5.Pyramid Room
6.FC World Cave Entrance
7.Barracks Settlement
