Please do tutorial :D

[konachai1]

You are great!! love this song. Could you post some of your own work, you are very talented.

[rfoshaug]

Thank you. :-)

I am about to post a new original song - I am in the final stages of mixing and putting the final touches on it. And of course every day I hear something that I just have to change before it's ready.

So it may be anywhere from one to a hundred days before it's released. ;-) But it's on its way. The new song is called "Dreamcatcher". So stay tuned..... :-)

[Dhanceee]

Man, great work. Thank you very much...

[pinkola72]

...what is particularly striking is that even the pitch bend stick moves for the flute part are to the millimeter exactly where they should be, which is very, very hard... Amazing work!!!

[pinkola72]

Totally perfect!! Five stars!!

[HardstyleTjaldoz]

Very nice man. Your flute isnt right beginning 3.27. Its a little high pitch. Or maybe its the Quality. But Very nice play.

[VimtoUK]

You make that look effortless, I really wish I'd paid more attention when my piano teacher was talking about fingering.

[MyCoalField]

what a cover. terrific stuff.

[MrPavlov911]

Very Good!

[DustyDogger]

I never heard this song before, but it's very well done on your M3.

[rfoshaug]

Thank you. :-)

[rfoshaug]

Thank you.

More videos will come. It just takes forever, I know. ;-) But I'm brewing a couple of homemade songs right now. We'll see if I think they're good enough to post on YouTube when time comes.

[godisip]

if you have played this all by yourself, well it is *incredible* :) pardon me the little doubt but this just sounds so incredibly good and well played :) Thank You :)

[rfoshaug]

Thank you!

Yes, I've played all this all by myself. All by ear, too, as I don't read musical notation. ;-)

[Grobanite122549]

LOVE IT! very nice! faved 5/5 will you maje a tutorial? please?

[rayray2207]

very well done.

though if i have one critic it's that it's not in the right same key as the original. the original sounds like it's in D minor

[pammibaby1982]

well done sir,that was a wee bit of magic

[GiovanniBomollvideo]

Very Beautiful !!!

i think to buy M3

[nobodyknowsmenow]

I heard a shit loser's version of this a few minutes ago. I closed it after about 45 seconds.  Now I hear this one. Awesome.

[rodro5]

[gimnasiokoen]

Vaya tocas realmente bien, en nuestro carazon la musica de MIke (the Mike's music in our earth)

[Violentshock]

Oh man you so rock! Wicked man! Great job!

[terraffirma]

FANTASTIC!!! Excellent playing. You are an inspiration!

How did you play the high lead over the top at the end?

[ignolan]

Wonderful you are a great piano player. , great playing , great sounds and real sounds.And volume in all instruments equilibrated.

rating 5+

[daddyjaykay]

in diesem lied ist so viel power und kraft und gefühl. ich spiele selber auch und ich habe manchmal das gefühl, dass ich wenn ich spiele alles um mich herum verarbeiten kann. ich verarbeite sozusagen meine gefühle und die geschehnisse um mich herum mit dem spielen und singen....und ich finde das dieses lied sehr effektiv für diesen zweck wäre! sehr geil!!!

[treslunass]

GREAT JOB!!!!

[UaEHiJacker]

pretty neat... good job man... good job -applause- =)

u defo got skills

keep it up , i loved it

[curlyboi89]

man i'd really loved the gear you have... but still... i prefer the real piano... but you have some serious skills in here!

[abokat]

wow echt super würde gern auch so spielen können wird man echt neidisch

great 5*

[devnexen]

Great job we see your real talent !

[kjra]

Ekstremt bra! Skulle ønske jeg kunne spille like bra som dette... Men med mitt anlegg for musikk, så er det nok like greit at jeg holder meg til å høre på Oldfield... (tror han hadde likt dette)

[rfoshaug]

Hehe, takk så mye! :-)

[TECHNOBOFF]

Just brilliant, what gear are you using?.

[rfoshaug]

I'm using a Korg M3-73, connected (via a cheap mixer) to the audio inputs on my Audigy 2 Platinum EX soundcard. All sounds you hear are from the Korg M3. The backing tracks are controlled by the M3's internal sequencer.

[jamesmanner]

awesome, I love to play this song over and over and over... great job :-)

[BiggyT39]

wow man, im watching ur vid over and over, ur playing it really great, and i do love your keyboard...

don't you agree playing music makes living ur life better?

Cuz i can play this song too.. and everytime i play it (or another song i like) i just feel really great, leave my worries behind me.

bud really nice playing man! keep up the good work!!!!

[rfoshaug]

Exactly! Just immersing yourself into the music and forgetting that there is a world outside your ears is a very important aspect of playing music for me. For those few minutes, the song is all there is. When the song is over, you'll naturally come back to this world again, but then you can just play another song, or even the same song over again! :-)

Thanks for your comment.

[omarinho23]

increible tio, very well from spain

[JohnnyFunkweasel]

Did you buy/find the sheet music for it, or is all by ear? I know it's not all that complex, but it all helps :) I like the way you've done the whole score :)

[rfoshaug]

Thanks. :-)

It's all by ear. As BernerStudios pointed out, my version may not be 100% accurate in terms of playing the exact notes.

Some places the differences to the original version are unintenional, other places they are intentional to get a better sounding soundscape in relation to the other sounds I've used (for example, I've skipped some of the lower "bass" notes on the piano part because I felt that they muddied up the sound).

[rfoshaug]

So in the end, my version does differ a little bit from the original. Which I think is okay, as I have then made my own personal version of the song instead of a true copy or replica.

But to answer your question - no, I do not have sheet music for it. And if I did, I wouldn't have any use for it as I can't read or write musical notation... :-)

[Bigturns33]

Smashing stuff man. Your very good I like what you do, im getting my Korg M3 88 very soon and I cant wait. I do a lot of orchestal stuff. Ill be sure to put vids up when I get it. I think its great that we can come on here and get inspired by others musical talents its fantastic. Keep it up.

[drozdd]

Excellent !!!

[panchomfx]

this is so cool and good.. jesus.

[panchomfx]

euhm.. AWESOME?..

[rfoshaug]

Thank you for your comments. :-)

[rautemusic]

AWESOME!!!

[brush1934]

Well done, well done, well done I pay 300 euros to learn it. How shity I be when I go out in a resturant and see a piano. ! well done from Malta

[mchelios]

Cool.... cool !

[BernerStudios]

Hey man, Cool vid. These aren't the actual notes though. However, if you went by ear, that was pretty accurate.

[whytevuhuni]

Quite amazing! This ends up being my favourite 'Top of the Morning' piano cover from YouTube..
