How to play new Star Trek movie theme on piano

[JohnBarchard]

You should play the whole song and then put it on itunes. I would pirate it!

[JohnBarchard]

Now I wish I didnt give up piano.

[TheScifilover343]

could you possibly do an x-files theme song tutorial?

[chimericalical]

To save time and get to the point: D minor, B flat maj., E flat maj., A maj.

All I wanted to know when I went to watch this video. btw, great playing man.

[chimericalical]

@chimericalical Thank you me, for posting this. I definitely forgot the chords again.

[YaoiHellsing]

WOW. That was amazing - you're very talented and the enthusiasm really keeps the video interesting. I looooooooove how you mixed in Sylar's theme! Made it all the more incredible!

[kolby47]

AMAZING.

Did you break your sustain pedal when you were recording this?

[madwooookie]

Dude THIS IS AWESOME can you do a tutorial or a have some sheet music

[lcambra41rp]

[TheCaptainKeyes]

You're amazing!!! do you think you could make a video of you playing the music? where it's not a tutorial? i'm gonna learn piano because of you! ^_^ well, you and two others. kylelandry and fountainkeeper who are both on youtube. keep making awesome music!

[97iamlegend]

keep TEARIN IT UP man!

[UbetjentBeats]

You are truly skilled

[No1sonuk]

Playing the same theme in different styles is kind of Victor Borgeresque.

[SoftWallProductions]

Michael Giacchino would be proud

That was awesome, do you have a tutorial?

[ModsAttack]

Your such a geek, but your amazing at Piano. I want to know how you played your second version starting at 1:38 and then your epic one starting at 3:07. Also the one starting at 3:35. DUDE THEY JUST KEEP GETTING AMAZING!

[Scully69]

fantastic

[Crimson0087]

Play this song without talking please

[John234pwns]

Not to be a jackass, but perhaps you could put up a flowing medley without the commentary, something to listen to in the background without the interruptions.

[johnhi00]

Most excellent . . .!!!

[himatsuri]

The quieter part of the Star Trek theme right before the transition into Sylar's theme was beautiful.

[TimesToo]

You play well, but this isn't much of a Tutorial or HowTo vid. You didn't explain much at all in the way of how you played, only what you played . . .

[elninodriver]

tutorial please!!!!

[elninodriver]

it has a horny nature hahaha, and tutorial please?

[elninodriver]

it has a horny nature hahaha

[KinkyAutobots101]

Hi, I am wondering if you can make a music sheet for me. And email it, so I can print it.

[SkyOneHD]

[shifty2757]

Oh...my...god....what i would do to play like that

[lovethatturtle]

[sunnydale22]

I LOVE that soundtrack and I'm trying to figure out different pieces of it on piano!

I found out the main track as well. but some other less obvious parts are hard!

anyways you're great!

[rbdgirl12]

you rules but your tutorial suck so badly!

[ConsideratePerson]

I managed to find the notes for the melody:

D E F E C D E F E G Eb F G Eb D Db E

try to go with the rhythm by ear on this one.

[xivalorix]

@ConsideratePerson THANK YOU

[NoRigurettoRaifu]

[xzarr93]

[hulkboy1234]

[Maximinators]

[mtregi]

inpsration

[ChristinaNHarrell]

[Lesleychill]

Just amazing!

[MalicTolsenVDF]

I've always enjoyed your SL videos, i had to pull a O.o when i saw this video though. Awesome to see your into trek, stop by my sim some time, I'm building a full scale ST TMP - ST6 era ship in Vanadiel

[iAnKayla]

EPIC!

[RobTheDrake]

Your mom made you play way to much piano when you were growing up. Poor asians :(

[essyayen]

YOURE OUTRAGEOUS

[TheMegaMinka]

when are you going to start?

[spitfireace311]

The best song from the soundtrak that has this theme is called "Enterprising Young Men"

[whatuswattingat]

Bravo!

[droidekabakugan1986]

This is basically the Enterprise's theme song. They play it during the big reveal.

[yogertlvr]

You have a definite passion for music. I can hear it in your music. Thank you for making this wonderful video. live long and prosper.

[SodaMyPlatypus93]

i can't express properly how much i LOVE this tutorial (of sorts). it was so completely EPIC! and then to add sylar's theme in there too.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!

[philyburkhill1]

I miss the old theme.

[abelizable]

i love how you transitioned between star trek theme to the sylar one .. connections are lovely things

[theniha]

you are the asian jeff goldblum1 you're awesome and this is cleanest take on that theme. never underestimate transitions and their ability to keep us from being pissed off

[mistakendrummer]

holy cow

[Schalkerwaffel04]

he is crazy but really good

[THEFINALHAZARD]

That's great, just.....HOW is it a 'How to play'? I was looking to learn this...You never showed how.

[dohiedoh]

i was thinking this too but it seems like a " how to" for like a pro piano player

[hurricanes4evr]

he tells u all the notes to play. watch the whole video next time

[IndianaWalsh]

"well it has a horn... sort of horny sort of nature"

[FedoReds88]

Great man!.. thak you mr piano player!

[saiint2]

you don't happen you play phantom of the opera as well do you? 3:55

[MSFproductionsMAIN]

Amazing Man. Your Great.

I LOve this new Theme. In fact I Played this music from the Cd to the Other Trek Movies & Shows & it just simply works with all the trek movies. From Motion Picture to Undiscovered Country.

Did you notice the Drill crashed in the water beside the Golden Gate Bridge. to think some 25 or more years later They will Crash a Klingon Bird of Prey in almost the same spot.

[SilentMaiden25]

Oh....my...gosh.... That ... Was amazing ..... And beautiful .. Your so cool!!! And you got mad skills!!!! thanks for posting this :)

[chekovfangirl]

dude careful your SHIRT is RED youll get KILLED :( awsome though sweetness though soo cool just so some of you guys no it starts on a D i forget the rest though

[EnterprisingYoungMan]

Wow... That was BEAUTIFUL!!! How can I get ahold of some of that sheet music?

[Mike15o]

I'm going to try to learn this by the end of the morning lol. Thx. I just need to move more. I'll get it :P.

[Mike15o]

love that rollel but I don't know what notes your using. Thats what makes it epic

[GTDLTD]

this guys nuts... but a good piano player

[kryptonianson81]

OMG you have to teach me how to play piano!!!! Please????

[thefowles1]

Torley Linden plays piano? That's AWESOME. :)

[MichaelKhanTV]

hey i remember you from demo-ing the east west plugins! lol. and ur pretty good, i wonder if michael giacchino and others can play that good.. if so i need to step it up a notch and take a break from my pop/bubble gum music. do you compose music of your own?

[guytheking9137]

That was seriously amazing!

[AmyLord]

Dude, you rock :D

[MrsSpockable]

OMG i just sat with my mouth open the whole time that was truly amazing!! I like the way that you started off with a very simplistic version and then segued seamlessly into a magnificent flourish-y one!!! I am blown away??? Do you do sheet music first, or just improvise?? I would love that sheet music!!!!

[trollheimer]

Lol! Katherine Pulaski at 2:35!

[sciencegeek888]

can u make a tutorial plz? so u can see the keys?

[PromusKaa]

Nice use of Abrams-style lens flare there at the end! The movie sucked, but Giacchino's music can't be beat. You're truly a master - I mean, honestly, guys like Horowitz and other geniuses have nothing on you!

[clacleclicloclu]

heve you got the sheet.

[PressTheKeys]

Thank you so much for doing this! Ever since I heard the new theme song, I wanted to learn to play it, and you helped me so much.

All of your versions blew me away, especially the Sylar version. :)

[clericjack]

Much too verbose, my freind. Just play the piano. (Which you do well, by the way.) If people want to learn to play, they have to do what you and millions of others have had to do...just play. (And play like shit for a long time before you even gain some skill.)

[xero717]

fag! ... good piano ... but fag!

[CodyKoNA]

Wow man, that was amazing. I am hoping to start learning some piano.

[jennakarlie9091]

would you be able to write me a version .

i like how you start with the 'classics' 1:37 - 2:15 and transition into the new theme, you could continue with the part after you sing "make it flow" 2:15 :) ha

then could you perhaps add in the sylar's theme interpretation 2:44 and use it as a lead up so you can go 'super epic' 3:06

and then you could finish with the soft ending redition 4:32

oh please would you do that for me :)

[PoseidonJ1]

How old were you when you learned to play. I've always loved music all my life and can play almost anything without chords. I'd love to learn piano....

[nintenalex]

I really loved that sylar's theme interpretation

[dongaiser]

I love your style and I love your vids!!

Keep up the great work!!

[saaya2]

omg you should make ur own album

[TokoGT]

God, I got this song like in my head every day, just fell in love with every aspect of the new movie and thinking of the crowd bursting into applause and cheer when the Enterprise appears before launch..*wipes mist from his eyes* Your tallent for the musical arts astounds me to no end with your creativity to this theme. Live long and prosper, captain of the keys ^^

[MattyRyTrow]

I'm looking to use ST:TNG's "The Inner Light" at my wedding as the music I and my party walk down the aisle to. Can you come up with a 5-minute long "Inner Light" variation on the piano for such an occassion??

[bagabooga]

Torley, You have talent and should put out a down-loadable album of piano sci-fi music!!!!!

What make and model keyboard are you playing?

Did you have lessons for many years (how many and where?), or are you self-taught?

[Jgordon3454]

great pianist

[Murtagh42]

"lovely, lovely what it did to continuity" :D lol

Excelleeeent....

[Polkac8]

Dude. You are just simply epic. I've tried my best to imitate your playing, but come up short everytime. Love the Sylar integration, true musical genius. You should just write the next movie theme.

[chamelia]

where is the sheet music to this????

[cassiebrite]

You are a great appreciator of musical themes. Excellent technique and explanation of constructing an arrangement. You walked people through the chordal structure so simply. Such gorgeous music, isn't it?

[iAnKayla]

OMG YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[xBeautifulxLiarx]

Bamf, total Bamf.

An mp3 would be friggin AMAZING.

[Fynn]

You. Are. Freaking. Amazing.

I'm stunned.

Adding the Sylar theme into the new Star Trek theme is just a brilliant idea - and it fits so well. Wow. Couldn't be better.

I'd really appreciate it if you recorded a video JUST playing the theme, so no tutorial... I'd be listening to it all day long I guess (:

Impressing work, please keep it up!

[Ifancyharrypotter]

You, my friend, are made of awesome. Seriously, the startrek theme song is epic, I'm glad you did it!

[akeysandjg]

Do you have any MP3s you can sell or send me??? maybe one of you playing the whole theme cause you are AMAZING!!!!

[htebazytook2]

YOU ROCK DUDE. So hard.

A+ integration of Sylar's theme, you're awesome XD

[Rosefire]

Very passionate. A lot of epic action film soundtracks sound great on the piano e.g. Pirates of the Carribean and Lord of the Rings and "Star Trek" is no exception. You play the piano very well. The Sylar/Spock remix is a brilliant idea. Q brought an interesting dynamic to both characters, though Sylar scares me and Spock fascinates me!

[t3hshopster]

You are a brilliant GQMF. If you record your versions of the soundtrack/theme, I will buy them. Michael Giacchino needs to meet you.

[AJaKe]

Random piano guy ... I just want you to know I would hit so you hard right now... Love this!

[rhombusfoot]

Marry me?

[harrypworshiper]

GQMF!

[ajnastarheart]

Love Star Trek - and love you!

You are one very talented person...and you make me smile also... ! :D

[SF0781]

Wow!!!

[lavenderteacups]

how kick ass!

[musicsaviour]

I-I think I love you.

[WrestleByte803]

Wow. That first little bit you played seemed so easy. :)

I'm going to learn how to play piano this year in school. :D

[umox]

you're amazing !! I'm soooo jealous wish I could play like you do ! ^^

[sciencegeek888]

nice playin but to much talkin

[Jeffcoaster]

You're so talented!

[ItsOver9000Films]

this was the best startrek cover i have ever seen. period.

[JMorton2406]

dude youre the best, im 14 nd i lve in england i was womdering wether u cud contact me and sendmethe sheets please?....

[oliverhshow]

You're amazing.

[BedaOfBorg]

wow :D

how about a mp3 and a complete version of the epic theme? ;D that was grate!!! :D

[strakiller]

great! you think you could do a jazz version of it?

[KeenandNifty]

As soon as you said, " Rachmaninov chords!" with fists in the air, I was like, "BRING IT!" I wish you'd make a full cover, something I could listen to while I study because you do Giacchino's score justice. Great upload!

[theKGBfan]

Do you have sheet music to this?

[adelaide925]

Hey

Can you do a "How to" for the Star Trek first contact theme?

By the way your totally awersome!

[bgummy]

You're one terrific player!

[ricefarmer]

that romantic one is truly amazing.. wish it was in the movie

[K4R4SUM4D3V1L]

all my life i had thought trekians where things of myth,

but no they are real as i

[intermender]

haha, how can you balk at the concept of an alternative universe ("continuity") when we see you virtuously virtually manifest in second life. ;)

Nice tutorial btw as usual, thanks !

[LEXPIX]

Nice renditions. Good ear too.

[lovelydiva06]

your awesome dude, it was amazing how many ways you were able to play that song, the original theme song is cool but i love the new theme song, do you think you could play the whole song or play the whole song in that romantic tone, i really liked that, no offense but could you not talk so much this time so i can just hear how beautifully you play the piece

[ozzietj]

im still impressed with his obsession on the metal gear solid theme....

[SIG442]

could you try to make a great mix from both the old and the new startrek themes? seperately of course, or if you liek it better to be together, well let us know! sounds great!

[Sougent]

Love it, why don't you record a mashup of just the music and put it out separately?

[BrockSolid]

You're incredibly talented but I really wish you would stop talking long enough to actually hear it.

[Dowie100]

That was amazing :D

[DinosaurTeaParty]

:D I think i got almost as excited as you did when you went from Sylar's theme back into Star Trek :D I love it!!

[RedMarsMom]

I really enjoyed that. :D

[ArtisticArts]

Thanks for that, that was good.

It's good to see and hear something of good quality amidst all this youtube junk! :D

[SecondLifeEnglish]

fantastic torley!...love seeing the creativity pour from every pore...as always:)...

[athr0x]

Hi Torley! just want to say that you're a huge inspiration for me. I've actually started working on my first symphonic piece, and i'm using your piano techniques to a huge extent.. just wish i had skills enough to play my stuff live.. well, the piano roll works for now :) keep up the good work ^^

[fallinahead]

You are absolutely amazing on the piano and are also very inspirational. I could listen to you play all day. =)

[ytpaul123]

My wife and I just got home from seeing Star Trek. Swithed on Youtube and, MAN!

Torley, you rock !! I just got through commenting to my wife how the drama and ballad interludes of the music score made for such a great viewing experience.

You captured it perfectly !!

[simplyvalerie2006]

...go Torley! go Torley! go Torley! WoW!

[bluetrancefer]

This was pretty cool! O: I still need to see the movie. I was thinking about it and yes, part of it was because the dude that plays Sylar is in it. XD

[mrsthursday]

2nd life wiz , Star Trek fan, great sense of humour and brill. musician. He must be way fun at parties.

[Blarion]

I like the little camera zoom you put in at 4:19. It just punctuated the whole song well.

[ricefarmer]

the musical score in this film was amazing!

[JimmyR2567]

haha and btw, your really good :P

[JimmyR2567]

That keyboard sounds really really nice, what is it?

[brokenbacktango]

Wow, Star Trek and Heroes themes! Your playing gave me chills!

[Soldatoflife]

I'm guessing that you just watched the new movie!

I watched it Sunday with my whole family, and introduced it to an added member.

8/10 for movie.

5/5 for your usual energized attitude and performance.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand,

Live long and prosper my dear crazy and fun piano, SL and watermelon person that I'm subscribed to ;)

[chuckm869]

Loved the movie! Great! GREAT! GREATTTTT! You have a lot of talent :)

[kiyka]

I love you.

You make my hands work.

[LifeAsANoob]

I loved this movie
