Borjan - Little Dreamer (Ensiferum Piano Cover) SylarSilent 2013-11-06 | This is my, a bit different attempt to cover a song "Little Dreamer" by Ensiferum.It's the second (HD quality) version of the video.At first, I just wanted to do an ordinary cover playing only keyboard strings with the actual song in the background (basically what Emmi does), but when I tried playing lead and rhythm guitar parts on a piano and heard the Ensiferum's inner beauty, I decided to convert the whole song into a piano composition. Last part of the song is missing due to the technical problems (and laziness) . I am still getting used to my new camera and it's video formats -_-Anyways, hope you'll like it.
Borjan - Everything Is An End (Norther cover) SylarSilent 2020-09-07 | After a long time here's the new cover of one of my favorite melodic death metal bands from my teenage days.R.I.P. Norther (Mirror of Madness album will always stay a masterpiece)Drumless version: soundcloud.com/sylar951/everything-is-an-end-norther-cover-drumlessMp3 file link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aiclvcun44fUgSpKqjBWpXm_KwFL
20200128W.S.Preview in Cm and Bm SylarSilent 2020-01-28 | These are not all tracks. There's plenty more little ones in another app where I mix everything. This is just a skeleton preview.
Wintersun - Eternal Darkness by Borjan (Part 1) SylarSilent 2018-12-02 | This was meant to be an intro but in the process I decided to split this cover into two since it will take a while until I make the second part which is more complicated and tricky to cover. So consider this as kind of an interlude and the second part is where the real action comes :)
Land of Snow and Sorrow in C-minor (piano) SylarSilent 2018-10-29 | This is my previous cover without Wintersun's isolated tracks (drums, Jari's vocals). I also transposed the whole song into C-minor to spice it up a little :)
Borjan - By The Dividing Stream (Ensiferum Cover) SylarSilent 2018-10-26 | This is my version of this beautiful intro by Ensiferum from "From Afar" album. Hope you'll like it.
Borjan - Ensiferum Intro cover SylarSilent 2018-09-14 | My version of the Ensiferum's first intro song from their debut album.
Borjan - Celestial Bond (Ensiferum Cover) SylarSilent 2018-08-27 | Ensiferum again :) Slight changes in the melody and some chords are deliberate since this is heavily influenced by the great Alina "Snowmaiden" Gavrilenko's cover which you can check out here: youtube.com/watch?v=rmF8PsAirW4 She has magnificent vocals.
Borjan - Warriors Quest (Ensiferum cover) SylarSilent 2018-08-14 | I promised some Ensiferum covers looong time ago so here it is. My version of this, not well known, song from Dragonheads EP by Ensiferum.
Kai & Me - Land of Snow and Sorrow (piano interpretation) SylarSilent 2018-03-25 | This is the version of my previous video but without Jari's vocals so only Kai and me :)
Jari & Me - Land of Snow and Sorrow (piano interpretation) SylarSilent 2018-03-23 | So this is my special cover which belongs in series of "Jari & Me" interpretations where I do piano and other little things while Jari does vocals. Since he was kind enough to release isolated tracks of Time I in THE FOREST PACKAGE I decided to do one more, "revisited" piano cover of this beautiful song by Wintersun. I took original drum and vocal track from WS and made the rest myself. Hope you'll like it.
Wintersun - Beyond The Dark Sun by Borjan SylarSilent 2018-02-01 | FINALLY , after a long time slumbering I finally finished a new cover. It's similar to my "starchild" cover, separated in parts with maybe a bit denser sound during some moments. This is wolf themed cover/interpretation with Jari (as always) as leading character. (I'm fairly satisfied with this cover but not sure if it beats my "starchild" interpretation, you be the judge).
Wintersun - Starchild cover by Borjan SylarSilent 2017-06-28 | This is my interpretation of Wintersun's Starchild. It consists of five thematically different parts. Some changes from the original are deliberate :) This beautiful picture was made by Tomislava Turčin.(her page: facebook.com/IntergalacticLaxative )
Wintersun - Spring (killer riff 2 cover) SylarSilent 2017-03-15 | It's more like spring in reverse but what can I say☺ I was too impatient waiting for July so I had to do something. These are parts from "Awaken from The Dark Slumber" (Spring) song or at least they should be. I wish to continue but I'll have to wait July for that. Hope you like it :)
Wintersun - Killer Riff Alternate Cover SylarSilent 2017-02-06 | I'll upload drumless version later... Got a pretty hard time improvising and figuring out melodies. It is progressive as hell.
Wintersun - Darkness and Frost (cover remake) SylarSilent 2017-01-16 | I decided to do a remake of my previous cover and little something extra :) This took me the whole week, day and night to make, so be gentle☺
Wintersun - Winter Madness Oriental Cover SylarSilent 2016-10-17 | So I wanted to do one more oriental based cover for a while now besides "when time fades away" and this time I made weird song choice. Winter Madness is one of (if not) the most extreme and speedy songs of Wintersun. Total opposite from what I had in mind but it would seem Jari's musical prowess surprises me once again. The song is truly beautiful in every sense of the word.
Land of Snow and Sorrow Alternate Cover SylarSilent 2016-08-17 | I tried the same thing with this as with "Time". Sorry for rather lengthy intro, but let's just say I've fully embraced my freedom of covermaking :PDrumless version:soundcloud.com/sylar951/land-of-snow-and-sorrow-alternate-drumless
Wintersun - Time Alternate Cover SylarSilent 2016-07-30 | I still don't know how to describe this or which genre it could be but if somebody put a gun on my head and demand explanation I would say it's a blend of Wintersun, trance and Summoning percussion. Pretty weird stuff so I'll understand if you might not like it.Drumless version:soundcloud.com/sylar951/time-alternate-drumless
Darkness And Frost piano cover SylarSilent 2016-05-30 | My interpretation of this amazing Time interlude.
Borjan - Lose To Night (Insomnium Piano Cover) SylarSilent 2016-02-20 | Here's one more cover from the great band Insomnium :)
Winter Madness INTRO (Wintersun) SylarSilent 2016-01-15 | You know that little intro part which sometimes plays before Winter Madness during live shows☺
Wintersun - Beautiful Death Piano REVISITED SylarSilent 2016-01-14 | I upgraded my previous cover a little bit :-) There are quite some changes and added tracks. Listen to it carefully☺
Borjan - While We Sleep (Insomnium Piano Cover) SylarSilent 2015-12-21 | Here's my version of this beautiful song by Insomnium.
Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow Atmospheric-Piano (full song) SylarSilent 2015-10-03 | Finally I finished this as promised☺TABS/SHEETS: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/w/wintersun/land_of_snow_and_sorrow_ver3_guitar_pro.htm
Wintersun - Time Atmospheric-Piano (full song) SylarSilent 2015-10-01 | This is my fourth and last interpretation of Time song by Jari Maenpaa Wintersun. I deleted previous version because this one is superior in every single way.The cover starts just like the original Time song does. (no intro)I think this is pretty accurate judging by the fact it was done mainly by ear. Chords are definitely correct and in right tune but some scales needed a bit of improvisation since it was very hard to pick them up by ear alone (there's so much going on in that song). And finally, here are alternate versions:Piano only -soundcloud.com/sylar951/time-piano-onlyStrings&Choirs only -soundcloud.com/sylar951/time-stringchoir-onlyEnjoy! :)
Ensiferum - Little Dreamer Piano (full song) SylarSilent 2015-09-26 | This is my last and final version of this song. I deleted previous version.
Nuclear Blast executive talks about Jari Maenpaa SylarSilent 2015-09-17 | This is the last joke I promise (^_^)
Wintersun - The Way Of The Church SylarSilent 2015-09-02 | If they were to play the music like this I would be in church every Sunday ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Immemorial - When The Rain Ends (Atmospheric Cover) SylarSilent 2015-08-22 | This was pure experimentation... I started playing at the original tempo but after a while song becomes too fast and noisy for the usual piano cover so I had to improvise a little bit. Chords and melody are still correct though... Sorry for some tempo mistakes (lack of practice).
Wintersun - Beautiful Death Piano (Jari is Awesome) SylarSilent 2015-07-23 | Pheww... A lot of time went into this.This time I tried to redesign this truly beautiful song. Wintersun - Beautiful Death . This is my piano arrangement. If only I could somehow get my hands on better orchestrations VST's everything would sound a lot better and I would put even more effort in composing. Just listen to it closely and see Jari's magnificent creation. That man is truly something else :)
Jari & Me - Sons Of Winter And Stars (Piano Interpretation) SylarSilent 2015-06-07 | This is the second (longer) version of Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars piano cover.I tried the same thing as with Time song. I played piano and other effects in the background while Jari sang. (you can find Jari's isolated vocal layers here youtube.com/user/Nmlgc/videos ) I used only his cleans so I didn't cover whole 13:30 min of the song obviously :)I think this time there's no any serious mistakes but I'm still a bit insecure about holding my tempo. Hope you'll like my interpretation of this masterpiece by Wintersun.
Borjan & Manuel - Closure BTD cover (Rovinj, Croatia) SylarSilent 2015-05-15 | I decided to upload this old video after all. Original version had the original BTD - Closure track as background but YT copyright disabled my video in nearly all of the countries in the world (thanks YT for disabling my non-profit cover). Anyways, now I decided to re-make this old stuff so I added some rhythm piano sections to replace the original drums in the song. I hope this won't be removed this time.The place featured in this video is my hometown Rovinj, Croatia.Oh, and sorry for the bad sync.. My friend have a really old camera and YT also likes to butcher videos out of sync...
Borjan - Arrogate Wind (orchestral) SylarSilent 2015-03-27 | This is my first attempt composing a score for orchestra... It's pretty short and simple peace but moderately fast... Flute and french horn are dominant along with piano accompanying them... Also there are some trombones and bass piano giving the rhythm...
Borjan - Arrogate Wind SylarSilent 2015-03-26 | I had an idea the other day and decided to write it down although it will probably collect virtual dust on my hard drive and youtube...
Lost Alone ft. Jari - Memory Piano Cover SylarSilent 2015-01-26 | I tried to keep up with the original tempo so it turned out a little bit weird... This was just a quick, one night experiment so I decided to share it with you :)btw, I adore this song :D The photos are taken and edited by Jari himself... You can find them on his FB page.
Borjan - Land Of Snow And Sorrow (Wintersun Piano Cover) SylarSilent 2014-11-01 | I've finally gathered the courage to go and try to do this magnificent song by Wintersun... I didn't put many atmospheric effects as usual cause I wanted to keep cleaner piano sound for this particular song... There are no tabs for this song except GP5 tab which mainly consists of guitar leads... I had to do nearly whole thing by my ear so there should be some irregularities...And I really hate those green shadows when I do my videos with chroma key but I don't have professional equipment or my own studio.. Kind of like Jari :D
Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (orchestral GP5 version) SylarSilent 2014-09-02 | READ THE DESCRIPTIONSince Jari didn't release pure orchestral layers of this magnificent song I decided to give you something similar so you can hear the complexity... This is taken from Guitar Pro 5 tab I did not compose but I tweaked it a little bit...No guitars, bass and drums... Just synths (strings, choirs, harp, harpsichords, synth leads)Now imagine those parts being played by real orchestra accompanying Wintersun live... Now that would be a sight to see.!
Ensiferum - Celestial Bond (piano cover) SylarSilent 2014-07-15 | Now I tried to do some of their last material :D I haven't found any tabs for this song so I had to try and learn it by the ear so there should be some irregularities... But I tried my best to capture the essence, so listen to it and tell me what you think of it :) Cheers!
Borjan & Manuel - Midlife Crisis (Faith No More Cover) SylarSilent 2014-06-20 | Well, something little bit different this time :)This is guitar/keyboard collaboration cover of the song Midlife Crisis from the experimental rock band "Faith No More"... Me and my friend are playing this and we're far away from each other at the moment but united through music once again... Thanks man :)This is his YT channel: youtube.com/user/IbanezttttttttttttttAnd sorry for the crappy GPpro5 drums but I haven't got any better drum sound... yet...
Jari & Me - Wintersun Experiment Time SylarSilent 2014-03-27 | It is not the whole song I know but I won't mess around with this masterpiece anymore... It is too powerful for me :)Wintersun - TimeI tried to play Time song from Wintersun on a piano with Jari's voice... I have to thank youtube.com/user/Nmlgc for providing vocal layers from Jari :) You have my thanks even if you don't have a clue I did this XD
Borjan - Scale Movement 1 2 3 SylarSilent 2014-03-14 | This is my piano composition made of 3 movements.First movement is rather slow and easy, second mov. is a little bit brisk with some fast scales at the end and third mov. is very fast and insane.The composition was made on Guitar Pro 5 and processed with Cool Edit Pro. No additional instruments, just 2 tracks (left and right hand piano)
Borjan & Andrea - The Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim Cover) SylarSilent 2014-01-21 | This is atmospheric interpretation of the Skyrim's theme song The Dragonborn Comes in collaboration with Myriad who provided strong female vocals. This is her channel:youtube.com/user/awenwhiteThe inspiration behind music is actually LibertyMario and here's his version of this song and channel:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSVlE_gNRN8http://www.youtube.com/user/Mariodickstroy?feature=watchSinging is inspired by Malukah and this is her version (which I'm sure you all know well :D)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-buV4tYOAAnd let's not forget to give the credit to the father of all TES compositions Jeremy Soul and Bethesda Game studio for creating such magnificent and beautiful game.
Norther - Betrayed (Keyboard Cover) SylarSilent 2013-12-22 | This is cover of the song Betrayed by Norther from their 2nd album Mirror Of Madness...There are two tracks... One for choirs and one for piano section...
Borjan - White Storm (Ensiferum Piano Cover) SylarSilent 2013-12-07 | This time I tried to do a piano cover of the song White Storm by Ensiferum... Not much to say, usual equipment and sound with multiple layers (2 piano layers and 2 moti-effects layers)... Chroma key is a little bit sloppy I know but it was just for fun :) My real aim was music not the video :)
Ensiferum - Windrider (Keyboard Cover) SylarSilent 2013-11-11 | This is keyboard cover of the Ensiferum's song Windrider. I've added intro and outro parts. And I also increased the volume of the strings a little bit more than I had to so you can clearly hear keyboard parts. This IS an KEYBOARD COVER after all so... no loud dominant guitars :)This is the first time I worked with chroma key option with green screen so it looks a little sloppy. And also I learned the keyboard parts by the ear so there are some false chords there. The idea was blending this magnificent song with the "Vikings" TV show in the background.
Borjan - Yona Tanssi SylarSilent 2013-07-02 | This is my new composition. I called it Yona Tanssi which means Night Dance in Finnish :PHope you'll like it
