Alca Animusic on PianoAlthough I've known about Ghost of Tsushima for a while it never really fell under my radar until recently. I decided to pre-order it on a whim and I've been enjoying every second. Easily one of the best looking games I've played so far and the soundtrack is incredible.
Anyway, I thought I'd do a cover of one of my favourite pieces from the game. This arrangement mostly just follows the main motif and I also abridged a few parts to make it more suitable for piano solo, but either way I hope you enjoy. I might consider doing a full version sometime in the future.

My old Casio ended up breaking down so I've been on the lookout for a new piano. In the end I decided to go with the Yamaha P-125.
I wanted to post a quick upload as a test, so I thought I'd cover something from one of my all-time favourite anime. I arranged/recorded this in one afternoon so apologies if it's a little rusty. I also played it a little slower than the original
In any case I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Or if you're feeling generous you can donate by clicking '❤ Thanks' and help me to buy new equipment..... First of all sorry for not uploading in a while. I've recently been having issues with my keyboard and I'm currently looking to buy a replacement. Hopefully I can start uploading anime/video game covers sometime soon
In the meantime here's a short upload to pass the time. I was walking along the other day and came across a public piano hidden in a furniture store. The shop happened to be hosting a small competition so I entered with a rendition of Hallelujah, although unfortunately the video had to be cut down to a minute.

This mainly started off as a fairly simple lo-fi hip-hop beat, but I started playing with a few new electric guitar VST's and it turned into something else entirely.

In the meantime I've recently been practicing improvisation/composition again and I decided to come up with a short little piano piece.
I recently got a hold of the Ravenscroft 275 vst from VI labs and I'm really liking it so far, so this was also a test of sorts. In any case I hope you enjoy! Thanks for listening! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I had a listen to the extended soundtrack and I fell in love with it immediately, so I thought I'd arrange one of my favourite tracks - Piece by Piece. It's mainly piano-based to begin with so I kept it fairly close to the original, although I added a few things here and there to make it less repetitive. If there's enough demand I might also get around to writing some sheet music.

I bought the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection for Switch and fell in love with the soundtrack immediately, so here's my arrangement of Dire, Dire docks. I played it slower than the original as I wanted to give it more of a nostalgic/sentimental kind of feeling, but I feel like it suits the piece well.

It's been a while since I wrote any music so I decided to mess around and see what I could come up with. I started with a fairly simple chord progression using a synth pad and then I gradually fleshed it out with more instruments.
I'm not sure which genre this would fit in, but I was mainly inspired after listening to downtempo/lofi hip-hop. In any case, thanks for listening! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I kept the main theme fairly simple and short but I think it fits this kind of style well. I didn't record myself playing this time because it was more of an impromptu performance.
Also I'm using Keyscape's Custom C7 VST once again. The cinematic preset works really well for these slower kinds of pieces. Anyway thanks for listening as usual!

The main theme itself actually started out as an improvisation, then I decided to flesh it out into a larger orchestral arrangement.

I used Torby Brand's sheets as a rough guide so if you haven't heard his cover yet, go check it out. I made a few changes here and there, but otherwise I kept it pretty close to the original.

Please note that this isn't a tutorial. I figured the synthesia style particle effects would look more interesting, but there's many parts where the instruments overlap hence why it looks so messy.
As well as being my first TES game, Morrowind was also one of the very first RPG's I ever picked up and I fell in love with the soundtrack immediately. I learned this piece with the help of Sebastien Skaf's arrangement so go over to his channel and check it out. Sheets are provided in the description
In the meantime I decided to to put together another little composition. This time I wrote it for Piano, Violin, Strings and Cello. I was planning on making it longer, but in the end I decided to keep it short and sweet.

Bach is probably one of my favourite composers, but I don't write in this style often as counterpoint can be difficult to get right. After learning several Bach pieces lately I decided to try my hand at putting together a short baroque style composition.
Gavotte is a term for a style of French dance written in duple meter. Traditionally this type of piece is supposed to be played moderately fast, but I wrote this in a slower tempo to give it a more plaintive feel.

This particular track starts playing at approximately 19:30 during episode 4.
Some parts were improvised and I changed one or two chords to my liking, but otherwise it should be fairly faithful to the original. Hopefully you'll enjoy.
Here's another solo piano piece that I put together. It mainly started out as a simple sketch, but I decided to score the entire thing out and write sheets for it.
I also decided to include the sheets in the video this time because I figured it might be more useful when learning. I also thought that it might shed more light on my thought process when writing these pieces. Generally speaking this one isn't too difficult to learn because I wanted to keep it simple.
Anyway, as usual thanks for listening!

Anyway, no synthesia overlay this time because this was a spontaneous recording. Some parts were slightly improvised so it may not be a 100% copy of the original, but hopefully you'll enjoy! Thanks for watching!
I haven't posted much original music here lately, but I recently started composing for visual novels and various other projects again. I put this little piece together for some general background music and I thought I'd share it here too.

The soundtrack hasn't been officially released so there's no title yet. I'll probably update the description once there's an official name.
Anyway, as always thanks for listening! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I sketched the main theme out beforehand, but for the most part it was improvised on the spot. Aside from a few stretches it shouldn't be too difficult to learn.

This time I decided to arrange one of my favourite pieces - I'll Be Home for Christmas by Bing Crosby.
I used Hiroshi Nakamura's sheets as a guide so go check out his channel if you haven't already. I made a couple of changes here and there but it's fairly accurate to the original.
Aside from Genshin Impact I haven't really been motivated to cover anything recent this season, so I decided to do a blast from the past and arrange this beautiful little piece from Minecraft.
Like many others, Minecraft was a huge part of my childhood. I spent countless hours playing with friends after school and losing myself in the world - largely due to C418's incredible soundtrack. The arrangement itself is fairly simple as I wanted it to be in keeping with the original. I also used Torby Brand's sheets as a guide, so check him out if you haven't already.

I built the main theme over a common vi-IV-I-V progression and decided to write in 3/4 for a change to give it a kind of 'waltz' feel.
Aside from a few 10th chords the overall piece isn't too difficult so it should be pretty manageable. In any case, thanks for listening as always! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This time I arranged the main theme from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni.
When it comes to horror anime Higurashi is usually the first show to come to mind, and with good reason. It pretty much helped to define the entire psychological horror genre and it's one of the first anime I ever watched.
As for the arrangement itself I decided to include a short intro and modulate the final verse into a different key. The original piece is only around a minute in length so it was a challenge to keep it interesting, but hopefully you'll enjoy.

This time it's a short arrangement of the Dawn Winery theme.
(Side note, is anyone else reminded of Greensleeves when listening to this?) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sheet music (Thanks to Emilia for helping me to transcribe): drive.google.com/file/d/1F8KF8_MUg9GCc9bNz2VRG5xeelHAc4vx/view?usp=sharing So, as I mentioned in my previous upload I've been a little inactive lately. There hasn't been a great deal of music that's caught my interest lately, however, with the recent release of Genshin Impact I decided to check out the OST and fell in love with it immediately.
This particular piece doesn't have an official name, but I believe it plays when you first enter Liyue. I'll probably update the title when the OST gets officially released.
Anyway, as usual thanks for listening! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Due to the entire covid pandemic finding the motivation to sit down and play piano has been tough, but with the recent release of Mulan I thought it was a good time to revisit this beautiful little song.
Also I should note that this version differs significantly from the original as it's based on Kyle Landry's rearrangement. I made a few changes here and there, but you can watch his performance here: youtube.com/watch?v=0ZrHx6JuC_s
Also forgive any mistakes - I've been far too rusty lately. Anyway, in any case I hope you enjoy! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There've been a few piano arrangements already so I thought I'd do something different and put together a slow/emotional arrangement. I only included the intro and chorus (let's be honest, it's the best part of the song), but hopefully you'll enjoy.

This particular piece mostly started out as an improvisation but I decided to flesh it out a little.
Also this is my first time using Pianoteq's Steingraeber to record. Up until now I've been skeptical of modelled pianos due to the lack of realism but I was surprised with the level of expression and dynamics. I probably won't use it permanently but it works particularly well for these slower pieces.
Here's the Synthesia tutorial for my arrangement of Way of the Ghost from Ghost of Tsushima. Enjoy!

This particular piece makes an appearance during the first episode of S2, although the same theme is used a few times in the earlier season too.
I borrowed a few ideas from Ishter's arrangement, but otherwise it was mostly improvised over the span of a few hours. Also apologies for the camera angle. I didn't realize that part of the keyboard was cut off until it was too late, but hopefully you'll enjoy. Thanks for listening!

He was perhaps best known for his work on Sergio Leone's westerns, but it's no exaggeration to say that he was one of the most influential film composers of the 20th century. I've been a fan of Morricone's work for quite some time, so I thought I'd cover this beautiful piece from Le Professionnel.
I've been wanting to put together a medley for quite a while but I never found the time until now. Narrowing the list down to five was difficult, but I decided to go for a collection of my personal favourites.
As the title suggests I arranged these to be beginner friendly, so aside from a few basic arpeggios they should be accessible to anyone. Some of these arrangements also differ from the original because this was partly improvised, but hopefully you'll enjoy. Thanks for listening!

While there's a few tracks from the current season that I like I haven't felt motivated enough to keep up, so instead I thought I'd revisit this beautiful little piece from Sword Art Online.
Also for this arrangement I used Spitfire's free BBC Symphony Orchestra. The results are impressive for such a small library so I may use it more in the future.
Anyway, thanks for listening as always!

I'm currently on my second playthrough of the game and I fell in love with the soundtrack all over again, so here's a little cover I put together of the 'Kaer Morhen' theme.
I also decided to experiment with a new layout this time, although I probably won't be using it often. In any case, thanks for listening as always! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
