It's in a lower key than most of the other pianists have done this song, but I do believe that I like it better like this. It has a slightly darker tone to it , and as a castlevania song, that doesn't hurt it at all.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Okay tell me if Im wrong but I heard simons theme at the beginning and the end, and bloody tears in the middle, so just add some vampire killer and you have (in my opinion) the best 3 themes together
Great performance of a masterpiece! Should add a tag with the the original song name bloody tears so people can find this easier when searching for the song.
I learned the entire soundtrack to Castlevania, the original NES game a couple years back. It took me about 8 months to learn, but it sounds pretty damn good, as does this video! Whenever I play it, I play it on the Square Lead 2 setting on my 2008 Yamaha. That's the setting that sounds nearly identical to the 8-bit soundtrack in the game, but I think it sounds absolutely beautiful on piano.
@roman6a I honestly have no clue, I am no Castlevania expert. I merely play whatever comes up in my head. :P I guess I did get a bit mixed up in this one.
@Naverpace i agree. i think this is because when a musician is composing music for a videogame, there's such a wealth of inspirations from the game at his disposal. the fantasy settings of games are an eternal muse for artists; and i think we will continue to see great music in games for a long, long time.
Hey there, Shade. Your music is excellent. But I was wondering where you got inspiration for the very first part of the song. It sounds very similar to "Gentle Breeze" in the modern-wii second Trauma Center game. The similarity is uncanny.
Thanks for great videos and good sheet music. I plan to buy some in the near future.
@oo7im I get where you're going. I can appreciate most all types of music, and the forever changing rythm of more classic types like Bach's fuges as you pointed out are indeed eloquent. Still, though, in this modern world, music that inspires emotion with the feel of the musician playing from their soul is pitifully lacking compared to the junk that teens my age listen to.
Good performance and a decent sound, but I find many modern pieces like these are quite formulaic and predictable. It still conjures emotions and sounds 'epic', but its so much less eloquent and intelligible than one of Bach's fuges for example. Do you know what I mean?
@oo7im Naturally. Just look at anything played live by Jimi Hendrix, he pours his soul into it, he doesn't even care about being precise. It's all about the passion, and that's what makes it so amazing.
But when you're playing something like this, then I think there would be too much negative criticism if you didn't play it as "precisely" as possible.
i have to say im very impressed with your work, this is a very good cover for the song, if i didnt know it was a cover id swear it was a remixs using a regular piano.
@talyn08 im not the one spamming exclamation points and question marks. Funny that my comments are getting thumbs up-d.... obviously im not the only one who thinks your pathetic.
@talyn08 bro, whats your problem? you got some hate for retro games? im just expressing some nostalgic things for me. i play 360, pc, but i also play the classics every so often.
I played cello for 8 years when i was young, but i've stopped when i was 14 (stupid age where you prefer girls and smokes to harsh music lessons) . I must say, vids like this one makes me regret.
I wanna hear this on guitar, does anyone know the name of this theme? I know its not just castlevania theme, there are hundreds out there so they all have their own name.
*sniffle* great job there although piano isn't my thing I appreciate how amazing this is. BE PROUD! Best part being that people can't be like: OH YEAH GO PLAY A REAL INSTRUMENT!!! hahaha
I like it, the only thing I could pick at is that the vampire killer rendition at the beginning seems a key above where it should be, but it mixes well with Bloody Tears right after, so Bravo
Nice work.
