Beauty 's Abomination

[FlinckJanne1981]

i have this sheet, but need other sheets for parasite eve and xenogears, and if you have something from james newton howard, lets trade :D

[Uatoob]

If anyone would like to try Mr. Kee's piece on the piano, they can get the sheet music at Delldongo's sheet music site for free

(Thanks goes to Mr. Kee and Delldongo for this).

[iamtheparasite]

this is quite possibly the most beautiful and emotional rendition of this piece i have ever heard. it is a shame that i did not discover it sooner. i would be greatly appreciative if you could provide sheet music for this specific piece

[SheenaMalfoy]

@iamtheparasite I'm afraid that is impossible, as the man who wrote the arrangement, Reuben Kee, died in 2007 in a dragonboat accident. God bless his soul.

You'll either have to learn the song by ear or ask someone else who has.

[Khazanah]

As the flag lower in the memory of Reuben Kee! we all thank you for your great composition and arrangement.!

[Mytheon151]

Sometimes, I wonder why good people die.

& me

who is provided with everything essential 2 study in a good environment,

who is given piano lessons,

who is given food & shelter,

is lazy & even failed 2 be hardworking.

I said it before, & I'll say it again.

I'm sorry I couldn't meet you.

God bless you & may he watches over you, as you continue 2 serenade the Lord in the most high place.

Your family loves you & so do we , your fans, so be sure 2 live your eternal life 2 the fullest in heaven. :)

[varitnun1234]

he is so talented and this version is the most beautiful version...it breaks my heart to think that he passed away..rest in peace Reuben..

[LadyKaliska]

I just started to play this game again, after years. So I came to find beautiful music, and found it I have. May this young man rest in peace. I've never heard such a beautiful version of this song, and I doubt I'll ever find one more beautiful.

[ris4]

beautiful... perfection..... rest in peace......

[Sephiroth1646]

I really miss Reuben, he was an inspiration to me and always found away to guide me through his music.

[guessroom]

[honeybeebunny]

I'm sorry.. But I dont think he will be poasting any time soon.. He past away in the singapor dragon boat races.. :(

[bune88]

[gasto5]

[gmailbob]

I think we all do.... Sadly, he's gone from us....

[Mytheon151]

Wish I knew you earlier

[AzurraFlair]

buddy... i've never heard a clearing sounding version of PA beauties Abomination before...

Outstanding.

Did you get this from sheet music? or is this by ear?

...My god there's a lot of talented musicians on youtube! :D

and you're one of them!

[SakuraTenshi94]

He arranged it himself, by ear.

Unfortunately, he's no longer to here to read our words of praise and awe.

I do hope they still reach him up there though.

RIP, Reuben Kee.

[Mammonthdesu]

thanks, i loved this arrangement ^.^

you have feelings and know that video game music can be moving...specially with Yoko Shimomura ^.^

[dopetess]

i always loved your pieces.

[Atma01]

Rest in peace. The title of this song couldn't be more fitting. Fare the well, my fair composer....

[guessroom]

[MEMORIAUSB23]

[xLazyNinja]

So Nice Piano Playing

[MurasakiYugata]

[Tousuke]

Oh man, didn't knew...OMG! I've been listening to his works and didn't even now....that he died...It makes me sad... R.I.P my friend....

again sorry for this mistake....

bye.

[Tousuke]

Dude, you're incredible...have been watching your works for a while now. Keep it up, my friend ^^

Bye dude,

Tousuke

[OmgDiscoDied]

Man this guy plays beautifully, such talent. How did he die?

[Spartan229]

Dragonboat Racing accident.

[bashirubass]

wow, i bow to you man. May you rest in peace brother.

[hxskodez]

well said, well spoken indeed.

[hxskodez]

Reu will always live on, his music as well as his art in general speaking, it saddens me because i never knew i had an exact duplicate of me from another mother,and to see my brother leave hurts me. Rest well with My other brother Reu i mourn the lost.

[Metaknight2395]

R.I.P :(

[ryujisama]

Rest in Peace, Reu... One of the greatest minds in the MUGEN community...

[ElemntalHeroSparkman]

such an awsome person *salute*

[Spartan229]

Because Satan used to play beautiful music, I think he got jealous of Reuben and caused that accident. Well jokes on him, because now he's upstairs playing for God.

[Mytheon151]

Wow..., that really lifted my spirits :D

[destroyerzilla]

we'll never forget u Reu

[patrionix]

je te souhaite d acceuillir au moment opportun un autre garçon qui vis par les notes d ivoires au moment où il arriveras tu ne pourras pas le raté il s appel dj Skay et il arrive en souffrence dans 10 maximum

[xin0]

???

is he dead?

the guy that made the dragon claw character?

[Rael0505]

Yes, he died in a dragon boat racing accident, killing a few other people as well. Tragic, I have loved and obsessed over his music for years.

[snak302]

may i ask what happen to him and what were his creations of mugen? any vids?

[Rael0505]

Look up his name on youtube, there are loads of tribute videos people made in his honor.

[snak302]

but what happen to him like did he have a disease or accident murdered?what happened?

[T3hSara]

Kee died in a Dragon Boat incident in November of 2007 at age 23.

[T3hSara]

Reuben Kee died in a Dragon Boat accident in Singapore during November of 2007. His mugen contributions include Evil Ryu and Evil Ken, as well as the original character Dragon Claw.

[12ealDeal]

Wow, that's a very cruel and unusual thing to post. You'd better be glad that you submitted this anonymously over the web because some people actually knew him in person or were related to him, being doubly affected by his ill fated death.

[Spartan229]

trumpster, I hope you suffer very much before you die.

[b0r3DUMB]

Beautiful piece...

[sniperkain]

[Mansoniano88]

[Shelaka]

Rest in peace, Reuben. Your song brings tears to my eyes.

[Wick3dAtheist]

I knew Rueben for years.. he was a close friend of mine. We played an MMO together on a private Ultima Online server.. I was shocked to hear of his passing... I miss you bro.

[Crafter07]

Of course you didn't. How should we know? But he is i dont know how he died or anything. But he is great piano player and i like it.

[FuyutsukiKouzou]

It was a dragonboat accident in Cambodia.

[FuyutsukiKouzou]

...for those who were curious.

[omega1084]

....O_O *dies*

[potatochan]

[RedInuyasha]

Very great

[Envy716]

Simply beautiful! What a tragedy your loss is, truly.

[Kissmyassdotorg]

I usually reserve comments to deliver spite and insults, but I feel the need to express my appreciation for his artistic works, as varied as they were. It is not often I see a death as a loss to this world, rest in peace.

[SBYRD5x]

- Defined meaning of song to me. Well in general to me it means sacrifice to a craft....I suppose in this world...to make it a better world you have to sacrifice..tell there is nothing left of you...but that's an elegant sacrifice in it's self...

[Heise168]

I had to sign up for an account just to post this message... For those that don't know him...This man was truly amazing. His piano pieces and arrangements amazed thousands over the internet and also in performance. Even though I didn't get the opportunity to meet him, I will remember him daily by the sound of his songs. He leaves his music for all to enjoy. He is now in his piece of heaven. He's now in a better place. Goodbye Reuben Kee.. I will remember you forever.

[demyx0067]

Damn. I heard of this guy from Monty at Gametrailers. This was beautiful.

RIP, dude :(

[3Hunter7]

You will always be alive within are memorys of your amazing music. Energy cant be destroyed and you will live again eventually but untill then you will always live within are musical souls untill we are gone as well.

[illisa24]

OMG when did this happen?? The last time I was here... Nothing was wrong! OMG Rest In Peace... You're such a talent... So sad.

[IAmPie]

RIP.

[devildog57]

Hey Reuben save me seat up there bro, we have some unfinished matches, thank you so much for your works of art! =( R.I.P.

[BajaRuby]

Oh lord, I just found out he died. My brother and I have been listening to his stuff for nearly two years now :[ His work never failed to move us. R.I.P

[placebo1172006]

this song is haunting. beautiful. it feels like your spirit lives on. don't know how to explain the feeling when i hear this song not only because i love this so much but it creates the perfect atmosphere. beautiful. just beautiful.

R.I.P.

[Mo0m0oSaZn]

i kno exactly wat you mean...words cant describe it but...it seems like hes still alive when i hear this song...i wish i culd get the sheets for this arrangement...if only he was still here...R.I.P. ReubenKee

[HeartlessShade]

R.I.P...

I only found out about your work after you had died, and I must say, it is beautiful. Have a good time up there :)

[SBYRD5x]

when I heard of his death I didn't think much of it..then I looked at all his work his websites..those he helped...his death seems so bogus....so damn bogus...and i imagine he'll just be forgotten in a few weeks right....well I'm going to favorite all his work on youtube...because to be real i have to run across anything he'ds done..I haven't found amazing.

[SBYRD5x]

I imagine if a person's importance in life is defined on how many people remeber his or her name this person must of really been great....it's not right......no dammit it doesn't make sense he passed on...when he's accustom to dragon boat race..he knew how to dammit swim......something isn't right.....dammit..nothing in life is right anymore....people that are lazy live on...and those with deep dreams die like it wasn't nothing like it wasn't fucking nothing

[SBYRD5x]

Alot of people fail to understand we all strive for dreams in our limited life span..and to deprive someone of a dream or to take credit for thier dream/goals is...probally the lamest thing a human being can do...and yet we do it daily we discredit those that desire to perfect thier craft...

[SBYRD5x]

And when you die...your memories....your dreams......and your ambition die with you...no one can recreate his style....you can tell by looking at his work...he was the type of person to put in 100%....and I imagine his enemies are laughing now rejoicing at his demise...

[SBYRD5x]

I must say for me to show tears for an individual I never meet...that person had to be really about something...Who knows what he was working on in the future..someone like this reuben fellow usually has biggier plans....biggier dreams.... if he had lived longier..he would've done more for mugen he would've composed more....however he died...

[SBYRD5x]

Life isn't always fair... You know I heard once in a book on leaving something behind in memory....that an individual that invests themself into an instrument is searching for reason to drastic thier soul...rather define existence....A harmonica did it for me..however it's much more divine to use a piano...but for him to have so many pay thier respect...he has nothing to be ashamed of he can look back and smile....and know his existence effected others....

R.I.P m8 wat you've done is great and amazing

[gapgab69]

REUBEN...until now i still cant forget you that you had leaved! whenever listening your music...my tears drop... @)-'-,--

[AdriasTan]

anyone noticed the watch tan on his left wrist? such is his passion for the outdoor sports whilst being an accomplished musician and pianist at the same time ...

[LonePianist3]

I didn't notice that until you said it...and now it makes me regret even more for not having yet known about Reuben when he was still here. =(

[avgn21]

so sad.

[dayle14]

why the hell is this marked as spam?

[luvfahrenhe1t]

Oh my god! :`(

He was such a talented musician.He do

i got touched by him. It pity he just gone it like that. sob.

[thegreatpizzaman]

ciao boss

[matz511]

...It is very sad... I know how it feels to lose somebody. I had a friend in school and he spended 7 years with me in the same class. We knowed each other very well. But on March the 3rd died over the night...it was something with his heart that noo one noticed before...

[Phantomo]

Reuben! It's a pity that i didn't get a chance to meet you. I was SO close to be able to work with you when August Lum STRONGLY recommended you to arrange for my musical. You're indeed a very talented person and i wish you well in heavens. May God be with you.

[ElectricRain0]

Oh my god... I just found out. I can't believe he's gone. He was such a talented musician... and young, too. It makes me sad that I didn't listen to more of his music... I never really realized how amazing he was.

Thank you, Reuben, for all the wonderful music you've given us. You will be missed.

[Khazanah]

Rest in Peace Mr. Reuben Kee.

[phatfarmd]

Wow, bro, ps quemal que paso pero te seguiremos recordando.

Hi there RK! I have all your songs in my iTunes Library. If you had an album for sale I would purchase it. BTW, thanks for the DragonClaw character! :D

[illisa24]

OMG!! You played soooo damn well!!!! How i wished i could learn piano and play this piece; my favourite piece!!! I LOVE PARASITE EVE!!! im sooo envious!!!! BRILLIANT!! OMG!!!!

[SakuraSamael]

I adore PE and its music (actually, Yoko Shimomura is just a damn good all-around composer), and I was overjoyed to first run across this remix on the OverClocked site. I can't even estimate how many times I've listened to it since I first downloaded it, and I have no doubt that it will be in my collection for a long, long time. Thanks for giving this classic a reboot - I'm sure Eve would appreciate the evolution. :)

[placebo1172006]

hooo boy. that was amazing. the original sounded very dark and beautiful but this just adds to it! just great dude. great.

[mhcampboy]

Oh wow... oh wow... the music... its.. beautiful..

AWESOME!

[barbedwirebat111]

beautiful reu. omg....i sooo am going to go crazy if they dont freaking make another parasite eve.... parasite eve/eve 2 was my all time fav. ps games, of course coming second to Mgs. but beautiful. ((((wish you luck with your new mugen ^-^))))

[matz511]

It sounds like a perfect ending piece of the best Anime movie that ever exist...

[Chizukochan]

Damn, that's lovely. A friend of mine showed this to me, and this is just fantastic. You've done a wonderful job.

[TommySuhMusic]

This is a beautiful piece that you play excellently, Reuben! Its awesome to hear that you have self-taught yourself to play piano! Amazing stuff.

All the Best,

-Tommy Suh
