DS Music | Pokémon Gold & Silver - "National Park" [Nostalgic Piano Fantasia] || DS Music @DSMusic394 | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
National Park from Pokémon Gold & Silver is such an iconic tune that means a lot in nostalgia to many OG Pokémon players. It was my privilege to make a piano fantasia style arrangement for the Pixel Mixers album "Catch This! Vol. 2: Goldenrod FM", and I hope y'all enjoy it!
From the album "Catch This! Vol. 2: Goldenrod FM": pixel-mixers.com/2021/02/19/pokemon-gold-silver-catch-this-vol-2-goldenrod-fm-tribute-album
━━━━━━━━━༻♫༺━━━━━━━━━
In both iterations of generation 2 (Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver), National Park is one of the most iconic tracks in the game if not in the entire franchise. So many fans get nostalgia from hearing this beautiful tracks, and even for a person like me who's never really gotten into Pokémon I hear so much nostalgic charm in it. That's why when Pixel Mixers was recruiting for its Pokémon Gen 2 album "Catch This! Vol. 2: Goldenrod FM", I was extremely honored to be chosen to arrange this track.
My thoughts going into this arrangement was to make it as piano concerto-ish and crystalline as possible, sort of in the vein of Debussy's "Claire de Lune". Balancing the fine line between fantastical/technical piano elements in Chopin-esque "Fantasie Impromptu" style along with delicate/romantic melodic lines was tough and it took me several days of arranging to figure out how I wanted it to sound, but I'm very proud of the 6 minute long arrangement that came out of it! I also added in the piano introduction from the HeartGold and SoulSilver version of this track and made some variations on it for the middle cadenza of the piece. Unfortunately I don't have video for this one since it was recorded for an album but I hope y'all enjoy seeing how many notes I had to play in Synthesia :P
Hope you enjoy the emotional whiplash of going from last week's rockin' Guilty Gear song to this week's quiet, emotional arrangement haha. A new actual vid will be coming up next week as always, so be sure to hit the like button and leave a comment to help support me in the never-ending struggle against the Youtube algorithm 😠

NYEH HEH HEH!
You think this is a weird time to post spooky scary skeleton music?
Well then, youve been bamboozled by the GREAT PAPYRUS!
My fellow Youtube videogame pianist Erik C. Piano Man challenged me to make an arrangement of this a while ago, so I did and kept the recording for a later date. Because of this challenge, I tried to make this a bit more difficult than normal. Thats why various sections of this are pretty bombastic and feature some odd guests such as a faceplant into the piano to hit a certain note and also a bassline played by my small toe (which I actually quoted from this Bonetrousle cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTxD5zOxw10).
However, since I sadly didnt get to finish the newest cover Im working on by now, I decided to pull this up from my backups and share it with you guys today! Hope yall enjoy it as much as Papyrus enjoys spaghetti.
Stay spooky friends,
DS

![Silent Hill 2 - Promise (Reprise) [Piano Cover] || DS Music](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jeYVOizivJI/hqdefault.jpg "Silent Hill 2 - Promise (Reprise) [Piano Cover] || DS Music
You know that song that plays in every horror game video essay? I decided to perform the classic tune Promise (Reprise) from the iconic game Silent Hill 2 but with my own twisted, otherworldly spin on it...
Stream on Spotify: [Coming soon]
Sheet music: [Coming soon]
━━━━━━━━━༻♫༺━━━━━━━━━
When it comes to gaming icons of the horror genre, Silent Hill 2 is definitely near the top of that list next to titans like Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Its soundtrack is also a landmark in its own right, with its eerie yet brokenly human combination of ambient and rock tracks.
For this cover, I wanted to capture the mental struggles of James Sunderland and the journey he embarks on into Silent Hill, only to be tormented by the hellscape of the Otherworld and have his entire worldview twisted. The simple introductory melodic line goes through all sorts of modulations and twisting technical passages in the arrangement before ending up a hollow husk of its former self, with all semblance of phrasing and emotion gone as it fades into the background.
This cover was originally created for the Pixel Mixers January cover contest which was based on Capcom vs. Konami, so I thought it was about time I paid my respects to the music of this great horror franchise. While current relations within Konami doesnt make it look like Silent Hills or whatever the PT demo was will be developed more anytime soon, Im still hoping that someday well be able to revisit the town of Silent Hill and the breathtaking atmosphere it has been remembered for throughout the years.
Your pianist,
DS

Piano... piano never changes...
Alright, something a bit out of the ordinary Nintendo/Square Enix shenanigans that I usually do! Ive been a fan of the cinematic universe and music of the Fallout series, so I wanted to try my hand at the iconic main theme with those lush chords and hard-hitting melody. Luckily, another piano Youtuber, Frank Tedesco, happened to have a great performance and sheet music available for this tune, so I decided to play his piano interpretation of Inon Zurs Main Theme from Fallout 4!

***********************************************************************
Guh-huh! Looks like we got ourselves a bear and a bird hijacking this channel!
Ive wanted to do a Banjo-Kazooie cover for a looong time (ever since I mentioned it in some videos years ago that I dont even remember the title of) since its such an iconic game with a memorable soundtrack to boot. Well, I finally got the opportunity to cover one of these fun little ditties in the new Materia Collective community Album BUDDIES: A Tribute to Banjo-Kazooie (see link below)!
For this cover, I wanted to do more than just cover the piece. Click Clock Wood is a location known for changing both in aesthetic and in musical variations with the shifting seasons, so I decided to embody that by making different sections of the arrangement utilizing different jazz piano genres that match with each particular season! Spring is upbeat ragtime most like the original tune, summer is groovin boogie-woogie with some hot flares, winter is a chill ballad with cool chord changes, and fall showcases all the changing colors of the arrangement.
Hope you all enjoy these renditions of one of Grant Kirkhopes masterpieces! This video is basically 4 covers in 1 if you think about it, so youre getting all the bang for your buck. Some high-quality, 5-star covers are hopefully coming soon too, so be prepared for more piano treats to feast on!
Take care,
DS

Heres a series I havent covered in a while! After getting a shout-out from the amazingly regular Kingdom Hearts Youtuber @RegularPat, I wanted to return the gratitude with the gift of more Kingdom Hearts piano music. Ive been biased towards the arrangements in the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections and the Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle piano book in a while, so I wanted to try out this quaint little tune (at least while I practice the hecc out of the Rikus theme arrangement to perform in 20 years haha). Really happy with how the final product sounds with the new Garritan CFX VST.
Sorry for the small break in uploads, had to finish up some cool [REDACTED] arrangements thatll hopefully be coming your way soon! So be sure to like and subscribe to be ready for my next uploads and to help me in my struggle against Youtube driving my channel into the ground :^)

Could this be the most epic Final Fantasy music track of all time? Its certainly a strong contender, so I got @LaceyJohnsonMusic, @GuitarSVD, @ViolinGamer, and @MusicOnTheDLo onboard for this fast-paced jazz fusion collab of the amazing battle track from Final Fantasy XIII-2!
Stream on Spotify: [Coming soon]
Sheet music: [Request in the comments!]
━━━━━━━━━༻♫༺━━━━━━━━━
Fans of this channel know that Final Fantasy XIII has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time and is also one of my favorite games ever. While I have played the game and have covered several tracks from it (including The Promise, Prelude, and Hanging Edge), I havent experienced much of its sequel XIII-2. While I did cover one track from the game (the main theme Wishes) and have listened to a few tracks in the OST, I never really expressed as much interest in this game as the original. However, one day I was just randomly watching the fighting game streamer dekillsage and heard some amazing music in the background. Turns out it was this piece! I knew right away that I had to cover this.
For this ambitious arrangement, I wanted to cover all the basses that the original tune did with its funky and fast-paced jazz fusion style. For that, I got some familiar faces and some new friends to join me on the tune! Make sure yall show some love to Lacey Johnson on electric guitar, ViolinGamer on violin, GuitarSVD on acoustic guitar, and Music on the D Lo on bass!
Hope yall enjoy this cover, it was a long time coming but Im very proud of the final product. All the collaborators killed it and its just a great vibe all around. Make sure to leave a like if you enjoyed this to help support the effort put into this track!

Whats this? An upload on a Tuesday? Well it may surprise you to hear, but I officially played piano for a track in an actual game!
My speedrunning and musician buddy Zachary Talis asked me a while ago to play piano for a track he was writing for a new indie game called Nowhere New, so I happily jumped on-board! Its a very interesting looking game with a gritty sci-fi atmosphere, and I am all about that.
Be sure to check out the game on Steam when it releases on July 15th! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1330800/Nowhere_New So happy to be a part of this project and definitely hope to be able to play piano for game OSTs in the future.
Seeya,
DS

Now that the current Pixel Mixers contest is a ‘battle of the elements’ theme, I decided to join Team Water and perform a piece that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, the Besaid Island arrangement from the Final Fantasy X Piano Collections.
Ever since I first listened to this track, I was hooked by the rich colors and textures of the arrangement (definitely thanks to it being composed and arranged by one of my favorite composers, Masashi Hamauzu, who I also just found out composed the Final Fantasy VII Remake soundtrack!). While the source material is a bit unconventional and synth-y, this arrangement takes that tune and even more unconventionally turns it into a sea shanty sort of tune. I love how the melody is embedded beautifully in the sing-songy extra melodic lines that Hamauzu wrote in, along with how the harmonies and lines flow together like, well, water!
I tried to touch up the arrangement too with my own bits of improv and phrasing. Hopefully you’ll be able to notice how I tried to use the dynamics in the second refrain to make it sound sort of like a conversation between Tidus and Yuna, along with how the dynamics and even tempo buck and sway like waves on the ocean. I’m probably getting ahead of myself with all this musicality mumbo-jumbo, but I really wanted to put my all into this interpretation (since I didn’t have to use any brain power to arrange the thing myself haha).
Anyways, hopefully this time I don’t go on a Final Fantasy Piano Collections binge for months again, I got some more varied, relaxing, and spicy tunes coming up soon!
Stay safe and take care,
DS

This is 100% my favorite song in Super Mario Odyssey, I mean who doesnt love having the Athletic Theme from Super Mario World taken and turned into a slow, solo jazz piano tune? 😎
Legit tho, every time I get back into grinding for endgame moons in Mario Odyssey, I make sure to put on the classic Nintendo 64 costume and play this song while schmoovin through the platforming to get that old time nostalgic Mario vibes. Mario Odyssey is a great game (that Im even trying to learn to speedrun now o_0) with a great soundtrack, so I was super happy to see the wonderful sheet music made by the Deku Trombonist (link below) out on the internet! I even played this song for the RIT Game Symphony Orchestra concert (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvg3ywIwJt8Y8n2yAdDva51MyWM5CPnAP)!
Anyways, sorry for the week delay due to finals, so I hope yall enjoy Poolside Rest/New Donk City Cafe/Taking a Breath by the Poolside from Super Mario Odyssey!

Nostalgia trip!
1 year and 4 months ago, I released my first ever high-quality piano cover on this channel, which happened to be this song (https://youtu.be/YWcl5YBWUrg). Playing Super Mario Galaxy 2, my sister had once told me that I should learn the World 3 music on piano. So I hastily wrote down sheets by ear at an RC airfield, figured out how to record MIDI, and found out that my laptop camera could actually work to record covers.
Today, I decided to bring back this classic, beautiful song with all the highest quality sound, video, and emotion that I could bring to it. Heres to Super Mario Odyssey having some good piano tunes XD
