Happy 7th anniversary to Rivals of Aether! Enjoy this upbeat piano take on this classic tune from my favorite Smash Bros-style fighting game.

━━━━━━━━━༻♫༺━━━━━━━━━
One of my favorite fighting games of all time, Rivals of Aether was first announced just about 7 years ago with a gameplay trailer showing off the characters Zetterburn and Orcane. Oceanic Breeze happens to be Orcanes stage theme, so I decided to release this arrangement that Ive been sitting on for a few months! Unfortunately I dont have a live performance vid of this, but I hope youll enjoy the pretty Synthesia antics.
With this arrangement, I wanted to take the most fun elements of the original tune and expand on them. Theres lots of use of mixolydian mode within the melody in order to compliment the dance-like chord progressions, which is further enhanced by the high-energy syncopated rhythm lines, basslines, and percussion. I translate those elements as best I could to the solo piano setting, and honestly Im really happy with how it turned out! I hope this performance brings some bubbly happiness into day :D
Your pianist,
DS

With Project Triangle Strategy from Square Enix getting all the hype recently from the last Nintendo Direct, I thought now would be a good time to share a bombastic solo piano arrangement of the iconic Decisive Battle 2 from Octopath Traveler!
From the album FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute to Octopath Traveler: https://materia.to/flamesgrace
Sheet music: https://www.musicnotes.com/l/tTTwX
━━━━━━━━━༻♫༺━━━━━━━━━
Time for another track from the DS back-catalog of things I couldve posted last year but never got around to! This track was originally written for the Materia Collective album FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute to Octopath Traveler (link above to stream/download). Im super happy to get to be onboard this amazing album of top-tier arrangements, and extra honored to be able to cover this iconic track. Translating full orchestra + drum set to solo piano was a daunting task, but Im really proud of this arrangement. While a lot of it is heavy and powerful left-hand shenanigans combined with frantic right-hand lines, I wanted to balance it with some delicate lines here and there to give it some nuance too.
First of all, Im terribly sorry that this is just a Synthesia video rather than a full performance. However, theres some funny stories behind that: Originally this arrangement was meant for string quartet and piano, and I had recorded my piano part with video just fine. However, the strings had some issues and couldnt record just before the deadline for the album hit, so I had to flip this on a dime into a solo piano arrangement and get a recording out quickly. Therefore, I only have MIDI and audio for this track. However, if enough of yall are interested then I could try to muster up another string section to get the full version of this up on Youtube one day!
Finally glad I got to cover this track, been wanting to put this on Youtube for years. Unfortunately wont have a DS Dissects for this track due to schedule issues, but if you all want to see one later then let me know in the comments below! Once again, be sure to check out the full album FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute to Octopath Traveler (link above).
Your pianist,
DS

WHOS HERE AFTER THE SUPER MARIO BROS 35TH ANNIVERSARY DIRECT WHERE THEY ANNOUNCED SUPER MARIO 3D ALL STARS INCLUDING SUPER MARIO 64 SWITCH??? POG
***********************************************************************
Thanks so much for a to playin my game!
In many ways, this song touches me as a gamer. First of all, my first console was the Nintendo 64 and this was one of the classic games I owned (along with Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, Smash 64, and a bunch of others), so this brings back my first memories with playing vidya games.
Second of all, I never actually finished this game as a kid cuz it was too darn hard for me :P HOWEVER, flash forward to college where I started getting interested in speedrunning: Ive picked up Super Mario 64 16 star and actually manage to get all the crazy Backwards Long Jumps and Mips Clips and everything and first the first time was able to beat the game. For the first time I was able to hear this song in the game itself, and I felt proud of my accomplishment (even though I didnt legit play the game, I just broke my way through it XD). Super Mario 64 was the main game that brought me into the speedrunning community and for that Im also grateful.
So anyone, Ive finally gotten around to recording this for yall, hope it brings back the nostalgia of finishing this wonderful and revolutionary 3D Mario game :)

🎶Guess whos back? Back again?🎶
Whats poppin fellas? Been a good 7 months since I last uploaded an original cover, but Im finally back! Im super sorry to have left yall hanging for so long since the This is True Love Makin remix released. I was mostly just struggling to find time for practicing since I had just started the dual degree BS/ME program at my college, and that required a lot of work. However, you guys have still put out so much support for my music over the last couple months that its still mind-blowing to me. From the huge amounts of streams on Spotify, the ridiculous amount of people buying sheet music from Musicnotes, and of course the continued support on Patreon, I cant thank you guys enough for helping me get through this pandemic.
During this period of not posting vids, I was able to compile a bit of content on the side. As you may or may not have already seen, I released a remastered Breath of the Wild album (https://fanlink.to/songs_of_the_champions) and also streamed more on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ds_music) doing everything from gaming to music reviews and even a few piano live streams. Here and there I also posted little sneak previews of content on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/DS_Music394) just quick and easy enjoyment. However, I also started compiling some recordings on the side for later use. Now that I feel like I have a substantial backlog of music to post in case life suddenly becomes hectic again, I felt like now was the right time to get back into the swing of things and fulfill my New Years resolution of making more music!
So a bit about this arrangement in particular: I actually recorded this over a year ago for a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask remix album released by Pixel Mixers (see links above). I initially got the idea for the general tone from the lore of what happens to Lon Lon Ranch: It starts out as this happy-go-lucky place where people sing wheres my horse and then eventually fell into ruin and dismay by Breath of the Wild. I wanted to capture a sort of nostalgic feeling, like a person reminiscing about better days of their youth. The beginning starts with wistful chords and little hints of the main melody, just hints of a memories. As the middle of the song fades in (and the faded film effect lifts on the video), you get caught up in the memory so much that its like being taken back to the good old days as the melody comes in full swing. However, by the last third of the piece you wake up to realize it was all a dream, with the triumphant and whimsical melody fades back out, leaving only the scraps of memories you started with and the image of a ruined ranch in the present.
So I hope you enjoy this track and are just as excited for future covers as I am! This year is looking to be full of crazy ideas and I cant wait to share them with you guys.
Your pianist,
DS

So how about that Super Mario Odyssey hype, huh?
To celebrate the hype levels of Super Mario Jurassic Park... I mean Sonic Adventure DX Marios Cut... I mean Melee Hells Mexican Mario... dangit I mean Super Mario Odyssey, I finally decided to record and put together this classic Nintendo tune that better be in Odyssey in some way or Ill riot XD
Ive been putting off recording this for WAAAY too long because the left hand is just so freaking hard. I mean, youre not allowed to play this song if you dont have that Scott Joplin ragtime left hand jumping and play it as fast as the Super Mario medley of Video Game Pianist (with the flying pinkies and the triumphant stand at the end)? In the end, I broke the arrangement down into 3 sections, each taking AT LEAST 20 takes to somewhat-kinda-nail in a fashion good enough for people to listen to, but I think the end result came out well :)
And while it may not have the Alvin and the Chipmunks Witch Doctor bit in it (thanks, Silvagunner), I hope you all enjoy my arrangement of the Athletic Theme from Super Mario World while we wait for the arrival of Super Mario Odyssey! Also be sure to vote in the poll at the end of the video as to which cover youd like to see next ;)
