@Gharmos hello, thank you very much. yeah this is an underappreciated piece and i love the original. this is my own arrangement and i unfortunately don't have sheets for it. but there is a possibility for future sheets, it could just take a long time. sorry about that.
@Verdegrand Not a problem! I went ahead and worked on my own chord choice. Got some of the same diminished chords in there too, but it doesn't have exactly the same richness as this one. If you ever get around to producing some sort of sheet for this I could amend some of my chords :)
Glad to see ya back! I've been gone a while, so I'm seeing these posts for the first time! LOVE the new setup. I don't know if it's JUST the light streaming in, but it is beautiful. You always make me jealous!!!
@ryancouture Two main places - during the talk between Squall and co and with Fujin and Raijin at Balamb after the first fight when they say they want nothing to do with Balamb anymore, that they're with Seifer.
Most notably though during one of the final Laguna flashbacks, when he's being made to work for Esthar soldiers and he'd looking after that Moomba.
Greetings from the Gooseberry! Once again, lost for words. Once again, thumbs up.
Anyway, it's amazing that you managed to play the right hand that perfectly - whenever I play something like that with a random feel to it and using the same notes, I keep getting it mixed up. Oh, and did you draw the Moomba? :D
Beautiful, Verd ;) keep working on the FF8 soundtrack like this!--I am absolutely enthralled listening to the pieces reworked on piano the way you do them:) Means so much to me!
Very impressive, I feel like this is a kind of sound I've never heard from a piano. A noteworthy arrangement, quite different from other pieces you've played.
@KingdomHeartsIIIX yeah i realize it just now that i rewatch it, it adds some intense lighting effects on the keys. i'll try to use that lamp more often :)
I guess attempting Dancing Mad would be out of the question, heheh. I've always wanted somebody to rearrange, compose or do something with Chaos Battle from FF1.
@redcloud02 actually playing dancing mad on piano is something that i had wanted to do for many years now, but doing that piece justice is months worth of work even with healthy fingers. i love the black mages version, btw.. never heard chaos battle from ff1, i suppose it'S the final boss battle theme? those are always very dramatic and engaging.
@Verdegrand Chaos Battle was added in the PS1 remake of FF1 and then on. It sounds great, but I can't believe it hasn't been given an arrangement and orchestration. It would sound so intense and devilish. Check it out on youtube. I recently arranged a short 'To Zanarkand' (I've only been playing for a year) it would be great if you could check it out on my other channel :) I'll make a video response.
@gamemaster9210 with the middle pedal it's possible to apply the right pedal effect to specific notes only while all others can be regularly adressed with the right pedal. the notes kept in middle pedal will stay even if you change the ones kept in the right pedal. so if you hit any note and have any other note kept in middle pedal, that string will resonate from the sounds created by other notes. also, you can then use the right pedal without losing the notes kept in the middle one.
Delightful to listen to as always. The Moomba card's a very nice touch; reminds me of the Triple Triad cards from your rendition of Ukulele de Chocobo.
@Alkahest nice someome remembers that video :) i love these cards, it was such a great idea to publish the ingame cards as a real collectible card game.
Ooh, this one. I had forgotten about this theme. Yeah, definitely a touching theme. Didn't it play in some of the Ellone/Laguna scenes, as well as the Moomba scenes?
@ryancouture haha that last one is a great arrangement, unfortunately there aren't sheets for it. the successor and kuja's theme are both great. all these pieces are out of my reach at the moment. let's see if i can find something else from ff9.
@ryancouture are you serious? there is no way to use synthesia to actually learn harder or more complex pieces (or at least, it would take months lol). but yeah i love that arrangement so let's see what i can do with it sometime in the future.
Moomba! I love this tune and great arrangement V! :) I'd LOVE to hear you do "The Extreme" or "Force Your Way" when you recover, which I have faith you will. :) For now I'd settle for some "Fisherman's Horizon" though. ;) Thanks for the upload. :)
@VirtualHarmonies Thanks man, I love both pieces you mentioned, they are challenging though. As for Fisherman's Horizon, let's see if I can do that one. I actually love the piano collections version of it, such a rich and beautiful sound. But that version is challenging so perhaps I'll do a different arrangement for the OST version.
i agree, This is beautiful though a personal favourite are the pieces from FFIX, Nobuo Uematsu's favourite score that he composed... and with your fingers you can surely bring out the magic in some pieces... a challenge and one I haven't heard would be "Assault Of The Silver Dragons" *COUGH COUGH*
But seriously, good job on this, it's mesmerizing to listen to and nostalgic nonetheless
@magicturbo9 Thank you, and yeah Uematsu himself said that the FF9 soundtrack is his own favorite, didn't he? It has great pieces. Have to listen to that Silver Dragon piece, don't have it in my ear right now.
@PoisonMako hi, sorry for the late reply. yeah i'll play ff9 in the future, i actually already recorded a track for the OCRemix FF9 Remix album, the recording was done over a year ago but I have to wait until the album is released until I can upload it which will probably still be something like half a year or so. But I might also play some other stuff, FF9 has good tracks.
@Verdegrand that sounds awesome might i suggest Kuja's theme? i always like that song also he is a underrated villain after he finds out hes a failure he wants to destroy the world because he thinks that no one deserves to live if he can't or without him only problem with him is his "thong" thing lol
i like when people decide to cover songs that dont get much attention
this is what made uematsu great, not the one winged angels and liberi fatali - the pieces like these that filled the rest of the soundtrack, and truly made the games great
@ryancouture thanks, and i agree, uematsu is great for the many different pieces throughout the games. although, liberi fatali and one winged angel are great pieces (just slightly overplayed haha).
Wonderfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull !
