This arrangement has been used in an italian short film:

So with a really little delay (like, only a whole week, but let’s ignore that,) I have my Nameless Song arrangement done. This has been by far the most taxing arrangement I’ve ever done.
I lost count of how many times I thought I’m done with it and start the MIDI-edit just to go back again with a new idea.
I really really REALLY didn’t want to end up with a subpar arrangement for one of my favourite pieces from both the composer and the Souls series, just because I was too frustrated and rushed things, so I hope your wait and my work paid off.
Also I was tied-to-the-bed sick for a few days, so that factored in as well.
(But not too much really, as you can see from the copyright-2014-sign this has been in the works for a while.)
So about this piece…where do I start…
It’s my favourite credits song, it does the style best of all the credit songs in my opinion, but it also is the by far hardest to arrange for a piano. Transcribing took ages, arrangement was complicated because of the limitations of the piano and doubt in general, because I, as previously mentioned, really didn’t want to screw this one up.
The balance between leaving space and using the options the piano gives you feels so fragile to me, I'm glad I was able to finish this with any confidence in my arrangement at all. So... fragile.... *shudders*.
I hope you agree that this was worth it, and get enough pleasure out of it to justify my suffering.
(I’m kidding...a bit. It was also fun and motivating of course).
…I’m not going to lie, I expect to be smothered by praise in the comments for my hardship.
Also, now all the Credit songs from the Souls series have been arranged for piano. Praise the sun man, praise the sun...
