[DemonWolfOfShadows]

You know... I hope one day my artwork is just as amazing and powerful as your beautiful music. It's truly a treat and an honor to say I've listened to your music, and it's inspired me to keep going on with my own work. So thanks for that, and props to you. :)

[thefamouskaytay]

This is your best song in my opinion.

[thefamouskaytay]

You music is so amazing. Is it okay if I use it in my web series? (I'd give you credit) You're songs are so beautiful I can't resist watching more.

[woodstock430]

Haha! i know it may seem weird but i listen to this and another one of your piano music's while i read online manga xD It keeps all the noise around me away from being distracted and sometimes i forget i have the song playing xD It is one of the best ways to read manga :P

[MoneyJ3rk]

you probably have to be able to read sheet music to do this song, way to long to remember.

[themagicschoolbusxD]

they should name a country after you :)

[hatecrew266]

How long have you played for?

[CBSatellite]

hum is it me or do you had a bit of requiem of a dream around 1:20?

[CBSatellite]

pure musical prodigious talent. how are you so amazing. you are an architect of wonderful dreams in the shape of sound.

[Avarion999]

I like how you've put the camera at keyboard level, and how it shakes a little bit as you play. Makes it more interesting to watch then the numerous piano videos where the camera is mounted on a tripod.

[echisan87]

you should really try out for the youtube symphany2 i would enjoy watching you play with the rest of the youtube community

[echisan87]

This video has made the YEAR for me !

Thank you Musicalbasics !

Thank you for sharing this gold with us !

[legendariosoul]

1000 ! Man, that is a LOT !

You have earned them with honest to goodness , beautiful compositions that flow directly form that ocean called inspirations from your mind !

Keep 'em on going !

Another 1000 in the way !

ps. I love hearing similarities from almost all of your creations in it and I love how you just gave them a fresh sound !

Keep on going, Prodigy Musician !

[musicalbasics]

@legendariosoul hey legend - my friend. thank you so much :) love all your comments.

and yes, there are a lot of similarities. i guess you can call it my "style," because whenever i try to write anything, some of the ideas pop up again and again.

[Radman8126]

muy bellissimo!

[Reiya67]

Welcome back ; ) It's funny, I get a lot of stress through whatever happens in my life, and my natural stress-reliever is music. I swear, Muse's re-working of I'm Feelin Good always puts me in a good mood. And I was actually just in a bad mood, when I check youtube to find another video. uploaded by one of the people I'm subscribed to. Thanks again for bringing such quality of music to people like us.

[musicalbasics]

@Reiya67 thank you reiya :) hopefully you feel better! <3 muse.

[Qasimbajwaa]

Can hear the underlying similarity between all ur pieces...love it...and congrats on the 1000 subscribers! Ur gonna get big real soon

[DarkkBlueWolff]

beautiful as always :]

[ttruemann]

i love the pauses. they provide some interesting texture.

how do you invent titles for your compositions? is compositions the word you use to describe them?

[musicalbasics]

@ttruemann honestly, Rebel without a cause was the first phrase that came to mind when I listened to this piece (after recording). and yea, compositions is correct :) (or a more professional word would just be... 'classical music piece')

[ttruemann]

@musicalbasics oh. how long does it take you to write one? and do you have a different inspiration for each one or does the music just emerge as you compose it?

[musicalbasics]

@ttruemann for this piece, i spent quite a while thinking of the two main ideas for this piece, and played around with it for a few hours, testing out different variations, etc. This recording was an improvisation, meaning while the two main ideas were prepared, the rest of it was improvised to fit the context and add variation.

[ttruemann]

@musicalbasics thats very interesting.  keep it up!

[zmo272]

I enjoyed it =)
