Hoyo-Mix - Plui sur La Ville (piano+orchestra cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-11-29 | I'm back again with another Genshin Impact calm/mellow OST. I can only do this kind of music because I pack the proper piano training+I use a semi weighted keyboard..which in all honesty, doesnt help build finger strength. hehe

This is the first time I read a piece again..and kudos to @AnimuzAnimePiano for the piece arrangement I used here. although I did not 100% follow the musical symbols in the piece..loke the vertical squiggly lines which means a chod is to be played broken..

I may do a piano solo cover of this if I can master it completely and I get my confidence back. after this I have more Genshin themes to learn to read and play..but that will be a secret for now.

i hope you like this. 😊🤗

Arcangelo Chen (HOYO-MIX) - Vespers of Pluviose (piano cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-11-11 | I'm back again with another Genshin Impact OST cover! This time, it's my first OST from Fontaine. I immediately fell in love with this tune after hearing it for the first time while exploring Fontaine. But now after the latest archon quest, this made me cry because only a few minutes into the story, something tragic happened (thefloodin Poisson that killed my 2 favorite mafias, Melus and Silver.

I hope you like this.

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles (Piano Tutorial Cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-09-19 | Finally, a dream come true for me!

I have always wanted (and planned) to cover this awesome song by Vanessa Carlton for years now but U held back because my goal was, if I were to cover this, I will use the best piano sound I can get, and now, everything fell into place.

This song is challenging for both hands and the foot. What with those fast passages that repeats frequently throughout the song and the fact that you have to control your pedaling because not all notes need to be dampened/sustained and are go be played in some kind of staccato. I have an issue with my feet (hence I cannot play fast beats on drums) so maybe my pedaling here is off in some places.

I am also just a grade 1 piano student so this song, along with the techniques required to play it, is way above my level. But I still wanted to try and see. I hope that one fay I can redo this song on an 88 key keyboard. Using a semi weighted key synth for this makes the task even more difficult. Lol.

But anyway, I hope you'll like this first attempt! 😊🤗

Hillsongs - Here in My Life (piano tutorial cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-09-17 | Happy Sunday! Failed to go to church today so I did this instead. I was supposed to get ready for my planned cover of A Thousand Miles yesterday, but I remembered this song.

I have covered this very beautiful song wayback 7 years ago youtu.be/_kPmZVBo55A?si=CchmTn5sHQnmOaZH
. It was my first (poor attempt) at an overhead keyboard video.

And now, I am redoing everything with better phone camera and a better piano sound. God bless us all and enjoy. 😊

P.S;

I am aware that my overhead video is kinda delayed by a few ms even though i did the "create multicam sequence" and "sync by audio". Maybe because the audio from my overhead cam (Huawei Nova 2i) was peaking? To achieve this recording method without using external monitor speakers, i used a cheap soundcard (V8S) which allows me to connect 2 phones into the soundcard and record what i play on my keyboard while also recording the "clean audio" on reaper and later on, syncing everything in post.

John Farnham - The Reason Why (piano tutorial_

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-08-23 | This recording session was only intended as a test for aproof of concept I had in mind. I was planning to do a multi angle video with an overheadview of the keyboard and my hands as well as my typical angle. I borrowed mom's Samsung Galaxy A8+ 2018 to use it as the overhead camera and I was pleased by the result of my little experiment so I decided to upload this as a ort of "tutorial". Also, I originally saw this idea from @marvdamspiano .

My first cover of this song was done using Addictive Keys. Now I am using Garritan CFX Concert Grand (compact) si tiy fyts can compare the sound quality of both Piano VSTs.

My aK version of this song is availabl here: youtu.be/skI6YrwfaLI

Yu Peng Shen - Flickering Shadows of Trees (Keyboard Orchestra Cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-08-09 | Now that our journey in Sumeru has reached its end, I am feeling nostalgic. This is one of my most favorite relaxing/peaceful OSTs from the region so I attempted to recreate it using only my keyboard.

Hope you like it. 😊

Richard Marx and Donna Lewis - At the Beginning (piano cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-07-30 | One of my most favorite songs of all time. Been planning to cover this for a while now and I finally did. Shot and edoted this afternoon. Glad I made it in time. Though i don't have a deadline, I set a deadline for myself. Lol,

Hope you like it.

Enjoy!

At the Beginning (A Yoimiya x Aether AMV)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-07-26 | I am not a Geshin streamer/YouTuber but I play the game nonetheless because of its story. As anAether main, I get to enjoy his"harem". Akthough noncanonin the story, I enjoy t anyway. I have been an Aether x Noelle shipper (because of Noelle'sHangout, Then Keqing x Aether, then Ayaya x Aether and most recently, Layla x Aether because of Layla's cute hangout. Bt "best girl Yoimiya" broke everyone because she got a new story quest(the only non-archon to get 2 story quests to date) and it was just too cute especially the ending. We getto know more about the Fireworks Queen.

Now I know this is non canon but as a hopeless romantic person yet to find my real life Yoimiya, I enjoy these "romantic" scenes and find them cute..hence I made an AMV out of her first and second story quest.

Note:

I picked the instrumental version ofthe song because I did not want to mutethe clips (only redced volume to 70% because I love Yoimiya's english VA and how she portraysYoimiya. So in a qay, I want this video to answer the question at the beginning: "why is Yoimiya the best girl?

I mostly edited this on my phone using the new version of PowerDirector becausemy laoptop screen has lines almost all over it (1/3 of the screen). I only edited the produced video in Premere Pro to adjust the video in the timeline to add a "fade in" transition to match the fade out ending.

Special thanks to @noxxisgaming because the Yoimiya Story Quest Act 1 I used on this video is his gameplay.

Also, I'd love to show my appreciation to Ms. @jennyyokoborivo who's done a very great job at voicing the "best girl" of Genshin Impact.

I hope you guys will like this.

Hale - Life Support (keyboard and vocal cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-07-06 | I have been a self-confessed @HaleMusicPH fan since 2005. I grew up as a singerbut eventually lost the confidence in singing when I grew older. Hale changed that for me because their songs were so goodthat it got me singing again.

I have dreamedof doing covers of some of their songs but then only a few had official minus ones. I waited years and finally someone did an edit that removed the vocals for the songs with no official minus one. Credits to @synctunado7856 for that. I then just added a chords play along using a rhodes patch because it matchesthe song. But the most challenging part of this song was recording my vocals. Idon't have a proper audio interface. I just use a V8s Soundcard and tried for several days recording the vocals separately. But whenI record multitrack on Bandlab, ambient noise could be captured. I alsmost stressed out my voice doing and redoing the vocals. Finally, this is the "best" i could do without proper equipment.

I hope you'll enjoy the video.

Hale - Runaway (practice sing along cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-07-03 | I have been a hale fan since 2005 but have never made any cover of any of their songs. so now, here's my first (practice) cover. I actually intended to sing Life Support.

Shan Michael Escasio - One Last Cry

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-06-10 | I honestly forgot the day I composed this but it was just an ordinary day. I was bored from practicing band songs so I fired up my first piano VST, Addictive Keys and reaper and it was then I played some random melodies and patterns. first on my left hand. Then I realized i was liking what *m hearing so I decided to make a melody on my right hand. I made this in one sitting but was totally unsure of whether I should repeat the cycle 9n a higher octave..kinda like a song aA-B-A-B pattern but today I decided to make this short and sweet. Kinda like your last goodbye before moving on..which is what this piece is all about.

Al Corley - Square Rooms (Synth Cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-05-15 | I love the 80s music especially new wave. So I gave this song ashot since I have also played this song in a bandincluding the arpeggiator bass.

Credits to @studiocfk6328 for the instrumental track I played along to. :)

Toto - Ill Supply the Love (Piano cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-05-09 | “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”

- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

One of my life goals is to become a great keyboardist...if not the world's greatest.

This is yet my biggest self dare for 2023. I have learned the piano parts of this song years ago and only reviewed yesterday hoping to make a cover finally. I found a keyboardless version of tis song here on youtube and soI decided to do David Paich's piano pats. Toto and their keyboardists have always been one of my many influences as a musician. Yes my piano playing is not that great yet considering I only reached grade 1 piano 22 years ago. But stillI wanted to try myself on this.

I hope you'll like it.

Yu Peng Shen - Wind of Tranquility (cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-04-21 | This is one of the countless Genshin Impact soundtracks that really tugs at your heartstrings. Es[ecially when this plays on appropriate scenes in the game.

I was looking for covers of this theme, not knowing the title, I searched for "sumeru sad OST" and then the videos related to Aaru Village came up. and as for covers, this particuar guitarist's takeon this theme was very beaautiful and fits the classic guitar very well. You can watch his video here: youtu.be/D5r72oXl9NY.

I was still trying to make my own piano arrangement fir this ne but seeing otherpianists, I realized this piece has techniques that may not be for my level of piano which is grade 1. So for the mean time i decided to ask permission from Mr. @HarleyGuioGuitar to use his guitar video. My goal was to kind of recreate the original OST which had a guitar, piano and a flute. So I hope you guys like it. :)

One challenge for me while doing this project was my laptop. Almost a third of the screen has lines all over making it hard to see controls on my video editing software,

[How to play] Somewhere Down the Road

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-03-25 | This is a requested tutorial for the song "Somewhere Down the Road" by Barry Manilow. I did a cover of this a month ago. I posted 2 versions of the same cover.

I did not know any Lionel Richie song until our vocalist requested me to study (cifra) some of his songs. First on the list was this and we had performed this at times (piano and vocals only). Others on the list included "My Love", of which I have already learned and I'm still learning "Still".

Richard Clayderman - Couleur Tendresse (Piano cover on Garritan CFX Concert Grand)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-03-10 | 3rd time's the charm!

I have covered this beautiful piece 2x already on this channel.

First Attempt: youtu.be/3aoIC6040iE

and second attempt: youtu.be/KsfygW2tAX8

Both attempts I was only using the preset piano of my Kross, hence I did not really feel the piece and was searching for a beautiful piano sound to justify this piece. Also, my camera phone back then leaves less to be desired.

6 years later and I bring you "take 3" of the same piece but this time, everything is decent: my piano sound and the video quality. I was even planning to include a virtual keyboard at the bottom of this video but then i culd not find a screen recorder to record my VST screen playing themidi file for this piece from my recording session. So I hope you will enjoy this more modernized production. Also, my laptop screen has lines all over making it difficult for me to properly edit this one.

My ultimate dream is to play and cover this on an 88 key keyboard with midi input and/or an actual grand piano. Also, I have studied piano formally only for 3 months in 2001 so suffice to say I have never experienced a piano recital.

P.S

The fades to other angles are inspired from Mr. Richard Clauderman's music video. :)

Barry Manilow - Somewhere Down the Road (piano accompaniment cover with lyrics)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-02-21 | Tutorial: youtu.be/19UGzcJu1NI

One of the most popular loe songs of all time.

I learned tbis song when I was still in between beginner amd intermediate level on keyboard during my PSR 530 days. I was taught the basics of keyboard for a month (do re mi, fingerings, chords, timing and beats). Then after that I was given a piano chord chart and then I studied on !y own moving forward memorizing chords (even the advanced ones like Sus 4, augmented, dominant 6th, dominant 7th, M7 and all that. Then when I memorized a set i would then go to our song book and look for love songs or any song I am familiar with and try to use the chords i have learned, albeit using auto accompaniment. Then I came across this beautiful yet sad love song and this was when I really got into advanced chords, modes (back then i didn't know that chords with bars like C/E are actually called "modes") but the Yamaha PSR530 had fingering modes to choose from (multi, fingered 1, 2, Single finger) and when I tried F2, i was amazed that it follows what the root note of a chord I am using (inversions FTW!) and that was how I learned modes without knowing what it's called and i had been using it ever since.

I have learned the piano accompaniment of this song years later when I get the chance to play on an actual piano and just improve bit by bit moving forward. Now that i have a pioano vst that i actually Like I decided to cover this song.

Piano-only version will be coming soon after this. I am planning to make iut into a karaoke version with lyrics for you all.

hope you enjoy. 😊

P.S:

This song has a special place in my heart. I haven't even experienced being in an actua, serious relationship yet this song resonates well with me and almost makes me cry. lol. idk but a friend told me that maybe it's due to my past hurts in short relationships i've been through.

Shoot an HONEST Gameplay Test Video the RIGHT WAY! 🤭

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-02-10 | Yesterday, a known tech company published a OnePlus 11 smartphone review on their YouTube channel. We all know that what excites the viewers is the performance/gaming test/review of the featured model. This channel did include a "gaming test" of the OnePlus 11 and one of the games they played (from YouTube 😜) was Genshin Impact which did not really showcase how the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 would handle the game. Of course, as a flagship grade chipset, there is no question that the SD 8 Gen 2 can handle anything you throw at it. But pretending to "play" a game when in fact it is just a playback from YouTube is a big No-no and is not really cool!

If I were in their shoes I'd do this kind of shot.

p.s: I know my demo video is long. But I was having way so much fun with Itto. 😁

Yiruma - River Flows in You (Piano cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2023-01-03 | Happy New Year 2023!

This piece holds a very special place in my heart that's why this never got out of the "planning" stage for many years. This was a piece I learned in 2012 from a girl who was very dear to me. We had the same passion for music, especially piano and classical music. I met her on Facebook on this date in 2012 and soon found out we were neighbors (I never really go out of the house much) and when i found out she is also a musician, I asked her to come over so we could meet. Turns out my parents know her and her family.

Long story short, we ended up doing jamming sessions every weekend and visit each other. If she could not come over, I would go to her lace and bond with her. Watching movie, sharing the bible and all that. Our bonding sessions always and up with the both of us doing the "twofie" using my old (and first ever) digital camera (a Samsung PL120). this cycle led me to grow feelings for her ever time. I did eventually confess, and she accepted it without getting mad at me. But then, months later, she grew cold shouldered and just like that, our friendship ended.

She gave me this piece because we both know how to read notes and had studied under the same piano studio (though I was ahead of her, obviously being older) and just months after "mastering" this piece, this became my winning piece on a talent contest on my first job. Hence this piece holds a sentimental value for me.

I was planning to cover this years ago, but I wanted to make sure that at least I'd use a decent piano sound. Then in 2016 I found Addictive Keys. But later it just didn't satisfy me.

Years later, one of my Facebook friends requested me to cover this. I promised her I will but failed to deliver.

2022 came and went and I found Garritan CFX Grand. My laptop can run it hit or miss. there are times I'd get hiccups while playing using the Full Samples. Luckily, I did not encounter such while filming this.

To end, I hope you'll like my cover.

P.s: apologies if I have typos. haha. I am a near sighted fellow.

Genshin Impact - Adventure Rank Ascension 4

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-11-30 | I ascended to AR50 6 months ago. and now I decided i am ready to take the last Ascension Quest si.ply because I am hoping for better drop rates overall and I am vonfident my main team led by Childe and Ayaya are more than ready to face what lies ahead (World Level 8).

as usual, since I have accumulated Exp points, I have made it levels above 50 after getting out. watch till the end to know. lol

When you pull for Childes weapon in front of him...

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-11-20 | I started my Genshin Journey last August 15 2021. Childe was my first 5 star outside of the traveler. He came home for 21 pity and if that's not luck, I dont know what you call it.

I tried pulling on his weapon banner that time for 3 weeks. i was told that weapin banner is a scam. so i went cautiously and only did 10 pulls a week and everytime i do i always get rust. so that eas easy rust r3 for me and i stuck with that weapon since.

but months ago i finally dwcided to buy the Viridescent Hunt for him because my luck with artifact rolls is similar to benny. lol.

now I take a gamble again on the weapon banner again after 1 year.

let's see what I got.

p.s,:

i am not a gaming channel but i do play genshin. 😁

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69 (Cover)

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-10-16 | I started in this band (Kings Avenue) in 2008. I was blown away by our vocalist whom I admire to this day for his singing prowess. In our prime, we used to play high pitched songs like this and some like High on You (Survivor), Tonight's The Night (Rod Stewart), All The Love (The Outfields), Message In A Bottke (Sting and The Police) and that's all on the first set.

I did not have a decent smartphone or camera back in those days so this video was taken by our common friend (originally a friend of our frontman). I jist grabbed this from his facebook post in 2015 hence the low quality. lmao.

but anyway I hope you guys will enjoy this throwback video. glad i still have this on my phone and my computer storage.

Travel Vlog with my Poco F2 Pro (Day 1)

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-09-15 | I had been a content creator since 2016. My channel focused on covers for the majority. In 2018 however, I started doing tech unboxings of the tech I buy for personal use and for this channel, because I realized most of the time I get copyright claims on music i cover because I am doing it in a "play along cover" fashion because I am not yet that good i making my own piano renditions.

When I started doing talking head videos for unboxings, I realized that it is not easy to be talking in front of the camera. But since I have decided to pursue this journey, I just told myself to toughen up and that I'll get used to it.

So far, since beginning on my journey here in YouTube, I have attempted to vlog 3 travels:

One last year, during our office family day (a learning visit, a productive travel with objectives tying in to our field of work). I decided not to continue working on it because as I was filming te travel, some of my mates weren't wearing face masks (we all know wearing masks was heavily imposed tat time), and I might get in trouble If I continued to upload it. Lol

Another travel vlog attempt was in 2019 when my younger sister who got deployed to germany, came home for a month-long vacation. WE travelled to CDO and had vacation for 3 days. I was still using my Huawei Nova 2i (the predecessor to my current Poco F2 PRo) which had no EIS. We visited the Seven Seas Waterpark and yes I did film the majority of the adventure.

One reason why it took me this long to post this 3-day travel was because I am kinda shy. Lol. I don't talk much in videos and when I do I just randomly talk (unscripted). Well because I am not much of a talker (#IntrovertProblems). I just decided to try out uploading this one just for the sake of experience. Also, I got some kind of motivaion from @BecomingFilipino. So I hope you guys will bear with me. PArt of my objective for these travel series is to showcase the shooting capabilities of my Poco F2 Pro.

Also, I know that travel vlogs should contain a lot..like drone footages of the places you go. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury. Also, I had a hard time holding my vlogging kit on my left hand, and my cane on the right. I could only have ease if I am sitting on my wheelchair and just being pushed around. case in point, I kinda have a walking disability (not totally, but I can't stand or walk for long periods without my feet aching. So we always bring my wheelchair with me for travels. So this vlog is kinda like a travel vlog from a PWD's perspective. :)

Practice Session (September 5, 2022)

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-09-06 | After our forced hiatus because of the plandemic in 2020, I'm finally back with the band along with 2 new members (our guitarist and the drummer). Our original guitarist who's been with us since we started in 2008 left for Singapore for a job. Our last gig with him was around February of 2020 when we played for a Masons' event just a month before lockdowns started (I remembered it was in March.).

Fast forward to 2022. Our frontman/vocalist decided to open a bar of his own and of course, his band would be the one to first play on it for the opening on Thursday, September 8. So here's a behind the scenes of our practice session last night. Lol

Of course, the true intent of this video is to try my Poco F2 Pro at this sort of stuff. and also I am almost out of storage. This 1 hour video cost me 7GB+ and that is already in H265 codec. hahaha

Robbie Dupree - Steal Away (keyboard multipart tutorial)

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-08-28 | Hello guys! I'm back again with a new video. This is my second tutorial but this is the first "how to play" tutorial for me and this requested tutorial is long overdue. lol

I covered the song " Steal Away" back in December of 2017. AndI remembered one guy asking for a tutorial for the song. unfortunately for me, I had no equipment that would allow me to shoot overhead videos and I only got some this year. Hence i made this tutorial since am on a long weekendand band practice resumes September 1.

Now, I am not yet that fluent talking on cam and i tried my best to communicate in English. So am hopeing that you will somehow understand my way of teaching. hehhe

I hope you like my first attempt at a keyboard tutorial.

If you wish to show your support for what I do, any amount will do. I will be using the proceeds to buy a dedicated camera and maybe some more lighting for my bedroom studop.

Andoer Q08S Unboxing and Review

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-08-22 | since I am making my return to playing in a band, I wanna make sure that I capture every gig. who knows this will be my last year? So i've been buying gears bit by bit to complete my setup. and now I got a new fluid head to replace my tripod's default ballhead. Also, I noticed not many english-speaking people or Filipinos like me have done a mini review of this thing so I made one..from my personal views. Join me in unboxing!

Transcend 256GB MicroSD Unboxing & Transfer Test

Shan Michael Escasio 2022-07-26 | I had been buying sdcards from Lazada since time knows when and so far I have never been scammed with a fake capacity card.
