[Piano][Sheets] Violet Evergarden OST - Episode 1 ChrisLin 2026-09-26 | [Piano][Sheets] Violet Evergarden OST - Episode 1
Nightowl Lullaby - よふかしのララバイ ChrisLin 2024-05-24 | Read chapter 200.5 of Yofukashi no Uta tonight and it really stirred up some strong feelings that had lingered from chapter 200. This manga really had a unique feeling of peace within longing that's really stuck with me.
A relaxing piano afternoon with FF7 Motifs ChrisLin 2024-03-11 | Really feeling the general atmosphere of FF7 rebirth, so I took an afternoon and played through my favorite motifs of the franchise without much practice, and without stressing too much about overall composition. A compilation of the better parts of a simple and fun afternoon playing piano.
A Journey Through Arid Winds ChrisLin 2024-02-15 | Something I was working on as part of a larger project that I probably won't finish, related to Lights Beyond the Water's Edge. A desert area theme!Art by Mark Reid, instagram.com/bongo_potato
Snowrise Town ChrisLin 2024-02-13 | Playing some improv again as some heavy snow comes down! I'm not sure what happened to the audio sync halfway through... but it looks like it happened in the MIDI record and I can't figure out how to fix it. Oh well.
[Piano Solo] [Sheet Music] Folca, the Frontier Town (from Granblue Fantasy Relink) ChrisLin 2024-02-02 | Been a while since I got instantly enraptured by a song, and what a song to do it! Whipped together this transcription as fast as I could, if anybody else was looking for sheet music, here it is! Should still be free to get sheet music off Musescore, if not, let me know and I can make some other links.musescore.com/user/18345806/scores/14228473/s/Y3lNgo
Granblue Memories - Granblue Fantasy Orchestral Medley ChrisLin 2024-01-31 | Relink is finally here!!! This is a simple medley of all the motifs that have become ingrained into me over the years, in celebration of the end of a long, long wait. It's finally time to learn for sure how many Charlottas tall each granblue character is, where Narmaya's hitboxes are this time, and what kinds of terrain Lyria is willing to traverse barefoot.Whether this gets a bunch of views or not, it feels like the culmination of a lot of learning, since i downloaded Cubase and joined the floopcord! It's been frustrating learning digital music here and there, but this feels like the most creatively free my workflow has ever been, and it's all thanks to the patience and help of the incredible artists in that discord server - floopy, xander, cynax, jtai, u, outerlives, you guys rock and your help and friendship has meant so much to me! Here's to more music and more learning!Art by Mark Reid, instagram.com/bongo_potatoSpotify! open.spotify.com/track/1t0uee28obGUEojY8D4T80?si=4bd0aa9079b441f7
[Piano] Shinkiro ChrisLin 2023-12-11 | I have been listening to this SO much - I wish I'd been able to get a clean cover together sooner, but this is in e major - a scale I almost never play in, and I had a really hard time getting a clean take, especially in the improv section. But I practiced a bit and feel pretty good about this take, and I'm much more comfortable in this scale now!
Paths Stretching Into Eternity ChrisLin 2023-11-09 | After passing a certain point in TOTK, I finished it completely within a week - and it was an incredible journey. The sense of duty to Hyrule inherent to the franchise feels more strongly represented in this game than in any other before. The way ganondorf is referred to as the demon king/maou, along with the story's length and scope, really make it feel like more of a JRPG as well.Anyways, I played this 30 minutes after finishing the game. I hope I could capture even an ounce of the awe I felt as this game closed.
Galaxies Traveler ChrisLin 2023-11-07 | Gettin back into the groove again, going to start posting improv and covers more for a bit!
[MIPI]The Flavor We Shared That Day (あの日の分け合った味) ChrisLin 2023-10-10 | Played after finishing Dungeon Meshi. I was going to compose over this with flutes and strings, so I didn't record video on this one, but don't see myself having the time to do so for quite a while so... here it is as the trigger release comes up! Very excited for the incoming anime.
[Piano] Lyrias Theme - ルリアのテーマ ChrisLin 2023-09-18 | One of my favorite songs! A song I play for fun all the time, that I've uploaded a version of in the past. Here's an updated version after many years of playing.This is specifically based on the version of Lyria's theme from GBF The Animation (youtu.be/cdL7AK87d5E?si=feb0f7Hhk3DOK0le), although of course the same motifs are present in all versions of her theme. There are a lot of interesting melodies unique to that version though!
[Piano] Find the Flame ChrisLin 2023-08-22 | Original by Soken and Yoshitaka Suzuki, with lyrics written by John Taylor.Not much to be said, just finished the game. Wowee
[AIPI] 月の椅子 (Moon Chair) ChrisLin 2023-08-18 | Check out the art: twitter.com/sion_0d1m/status/1692333468628472276Scrolling through art and getting inspired again!
Over & Over & Over ChrisLin 2023-08-01 | New piano, new room, new life! After some life changing events I was contemplating what kind of song I was really feeling after it all, and something like this is where I landed.
[Piano] Blessing Final Ep. Version - それで、この祝福は。。。(and so, this Blessing is...) ChrisLin 2023-07-02 | The blessing we wished upon them was heard.Another series has reached its end, and it was a beautiful one. For how much rushing there was around them, I truly cared for all of the character arcs and I feel that those were handled with plenty of care. Here's to the spinoffs, the elan camping slice of life, and 5 slightly different perfect grades!
[Piano] Suisei - Full Witch From Mercury Piano Medley ChrisLin 2023-06-22 | ONLY TWO EPISODES and like a quarter of the budget left to enter our blessed eyes and minds and hearts and EARS left!!! So excited with where this is going. With s2 ep10 FINALLY calling back to the witch from mercury motif from season 1, I couldn't help but have my fun with a medley of all the motifs I've been having a blast with this last year.
[24MS03] Starsea ChrisLin 2023-06-01 | 24 Minute Sessions are continuous piano improvisation sessions on a theme. This one is heavily inspired by my time with the Gundam franchise, and is based in an optimistic view on the hope with which humanity looks towards the stars.

Schwarzette ChrisLin 2023-05-25 | Speculation on what a theme for the Schwarzette might sound like - with an optimistic perspective.
[Piano Cover] いばら - Thorn ChrisLin 2023-05-19 | A piano cover of Ibara, by Ado and Vaundy様, with improv in the second half as always! This one took a ridiculous number of takes, ended up with a version of this that took tons of energy and rhythm and I had to keep waiting days to go for more takes again... but the song is amazing so I pushed through.Midi: drive.google.com/file/d/1_n30ZUWAiG9ZZWy8PMcIafl_oBUWNnJk/view?usp=sharing
Crimson: birthmark (Red: birthmark, ep17 reaction ver.) ChrisLin 2023-05-09 | how are we supposed to wait 2 weeks for a resolution? and will we even be brought any solace then? I'm venting my frustration into this piano piece.
(Piano Cover) Slash by Yama - Reminiscence Version ChrisLin 2023-04-24 | Well, watched season 2 episode 3.... this cover of the anime opening is imbued with all of those emotions.
[Piano Cover] Red:birthmark - Aina the End - Witch from Mercury ED2 ChrisLin 2023-04-09 | WE MADE IT TO SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!! THE WAIT IS OVER AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT! The opening and ending are BOTH insane and I couldn't wait to play this one. Here's a midi this time if you want it: drive.google.com/file/d/1R-b-tW8NuTA8RJf0AT29aC-auEWkVRCV/view
Returning Tide (Gundam: the Witch from Mercury OST Speculation) ChrisLin 2023-03-25 | IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR SEASON 2! Some thoughts on how the soundtrack may evolve, sticking close to existing structures and just reveling in the mood I hope the series goes for.
anything ChrisLin 2023-03-05 | Feeling like I need to upload something but didn't want to let that pressure influence it, so I closed my eyes and played literally anything

To Frontiers ChrisLin 2022-12-15 | The way I feel as a lifelong sonic fan after playing frontiers is really somethin else and it's a REALLY good feeling
