It happens to me very frequently when I play / record and it is extremely frustrating. I don't believe I missed any notes in this particular recording however. Tempo / dynamics / phrasing probably could have been better in places but I think I hit the F# this time. =P
Anyway, this is one that I really need to relearn sometime because I now have a way in Audacity to give it more of a Blade Runner feel using a flange effect, I tested it once and it sounds great. =D
I think you hit a F instead of a F# at 4:41. Again, I don't mean to nitpick, your playing is fantastic, simple, to the point, unpretentious, precise yet still feeling spontaneous and emotional, I was just "relieved" it happens to everybody. BTW... do you still have the transcription of Piano In An Empty Room?
This is my favourite version of "Memories of Green". I like it more than the original one with effects (from the soundtrack). I hear it when I want or need a magical moment.
I hear it very often (and I will) since months and I have to thank you for share it. Greetings from Spain.
one my favorite piano pieces of all time.im not a music guy but im guessing a lot of minor chords are used.i love msuic that sounds as if it's just slightly out of tune and i get that feel from this song.well done sir.
Absolutely awsome! I wish I could play like that! Ive taken up keyboard and my teacher asked what i wanted to play like and I told her I wanted to play this! Excellent rendition!
I've dreamed of being able to play this tune since I fell in love with the movie when I was a kid! This was beautifully played. The right volume, tempo, everything! Listening to this brought back the way this song first made me feel! Bravo! Now, if I could only get the sheet music and another piano....
I still cant believe how beautifully you play this. I have watched this everyday for the last month! I don't even listen to Vangelis' version anymore because yours is so much more enchanting to listen to - just watching gives me goosebumps and I'm totally taken away. I feel like this song really speaks to me. It will always be my favorite. I have a goal to play this song well someday - thanks for the inspiration :)

Fantastic Job! Not only it sounds great, but it is also an accurate cover. Some other covers of this piece on you tube are in the wrong key, or have mangled the composition. Your fingering also can surely help all those who want to learn to play this piece. Congrats!
Bravo my friend...I am recording soon with some "names" and perhaps you would like to contribute you piano talents? You can reach me at: jeffpinfo@gmail.com .... Hope to hear from you...Stunningly beautiful ...
Bravo ... my friend ... I'm recording an album/CD very soon and I would like to know if you would be willing to talk to me about perhaps doing something musically with my project...I LOVED your playing my friend...absolutely stunningly beautiful...my email address is: jeffpinfo@gmail.com Let me know if you are interested ... Peace
Wow, AnotherSchmoe! That is really good. I also play this piece on a Yamaha digital keyboard, a P-120. So what piano sound do you use from the keyboard choices? You stated you use reverb; how can I increase the amount of reverb? Is there another onboard effect you use as well? Forgive me for all the questions and maybe I can't get that sound out of a P-120 but you make that piano sound so good with the settings you have. Good playing!
Oh that was just superb! There may be a few small errors in the transcription compared to the original piece, but the atmosphere and beauty of the piece was all there! Really well done. I loved it.
Pretty amazing song, and well played. I need to find the sheet music for this. Not that I can read sheet music, but should be able to reverse engineer it by ear and sheet. Well done again.
just downloaded the music and have started to learn it. It almost spans the whole keyboard - its hard to read.Any tips - you are the best version on Youtube. Well done - wish you were nearby to show me. Ta
@AnotherSchmoe Where did those sheets come from? I wrote out sheet music for all 10:19 of Blade Runner Blues awhile back but I've been meaning to do this one, Tales From the Future, and Dimitri's Bar too.
I recently started learning "Piano In An Empty Room" (another Vangelis track, was on the Blade Runner soundtrack but I don't think it actually appeared in the movie) and hope to have a recording within the next month or so. No guarantees but it'll be here eventually. Take care!
You play(ed) very well! I find that your keyboard sound better than some piano,... do you add some reverb? Blade Runner was a great movie. When I saw this movie, the first time at the theater, I loved it. Even, today, I found it's still modern. I think you're too modest: I play piano too but I couldn't do better than you did!!!
Thanks! All of the sound in the recording is from the keyboard (Yamaha P-155), I didn't change it in the computer. The P-155 has reverb settings and I cranked it up quite a bit. =P
I have a Yamaha psr-420. It's an old model from 1995. The sound is less quality than yours, but I think it's better than nothing. The most important is not necessary the quality sound, but the fun to play. The best sound keyboard I heard, in my life, is a Yamaha clp 380. The sound of this keyboard is totally perfect!!!
You are playing so awesome! Memories of green gives me shivers. Where did you got the sheets from? I have search everywhere (downloadable :) ) on the internet, but no luck. You dont happend to have the sheets on the computer? :)
Memories of Green gives me shivers too, it's a very haunting piece of music and I fell in love with it the moment I heard it in Blade Runner. As for the sheet music, I sent you a message with the link, check your inbox. =)
Thanks! I'm not dead, just been lazy with making new recordings lately and wasn't feeling confident enough to post anything, finally built up enough courage to upload something. Also recently bought Assassin's Creed 2 and Mass Effect 2 for Xbox 360 and have been busy playing them, amazing games. =P
Haha you are a gamer too:P?Very good choice in gaming.I am into more rpg stuff like Lost Odyssey and Star Ocean.I haven't upload too anything special...i am a little frustrated because i can't learn some pieces
You should definitely check out Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 if you haven't yet, they're sci-fi RPGs but have good action too (real time combat), very cool. All the choices you make in the first game can carry over into the second one also if you import your save. Mass Effect 2 is a lot better than the first and is also one of the best games I've ever played, but the first one came out 2 years ago and it's best to play it first so you can know what's going on. =P
An excellent rendition - better than my own it's probably fair to say, mine is a little too slow perhaps. I also like the tone of your digital piano, I think I asked you the make and you said Yamaha?
It sounds like the exact same version of the music that I play from, someone on my comments suggested another which you can download. Check my comments if you are interest.
Anyway, I enjoyed listening to your addition to the YouTube Memories of Green!
That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you. You brought tears to my eyes.
