improvisation no81 - D Minor

[emshilie]

I find that D minor is really the saddest of all keys...

[kyleIandry]

@emshilie agreed.

[13THELUCKY13]

beyerdynamics?

[NinjaOfTheSandx]

This is definitely my favourite of your improvs so far. :]

[fierypiano]

6:33 every time I heard that I think you are going to start to play Debussy Clair de Lune!

[fierypiano]

@Eddabed I think he does. You can hear some jazz in his improvisations. But also alot in his canon improvisations(no.8 and no.11)

[MisterFantasmic]

/watch?v=RZipU9Xjm24 beasttttttt

[vega07]

1:35 on is absolutely beautiful.

[Wattree57]

Bravo, Kyle!

Jazz is my thing, but I can get into anything that's either pretty, funky, or swing. Now I guess I'm going to have to add dramatic, because that's exactly what this is - pretty, and dramatic. I look forward to playing along with it on my sax.

[rachellesproul]

It's your improvisations like this, why you are my favorite pianist ♥

[bachu95]

WANT A MIDI FOR THIS.... NOW! Zomfg this is so epic

[TheBobdaw]

Does this stay in D minor the entire time? Cause I was jamming along with it and it sort of felt like it changed in couple of places. You'll have to forgive me, I'm kind of a novice at this.....

[iamstoned4life]

@TheBobdaw He changes keys at some points (so called modulation).

[sean17guitar]

I heard the first chord of A Letter from Janelle by Chiodos in there.

[Alron11]

You said that my/our wish is your command. Come to Poland and teach me how to be as awesome pianist as you are.

[561pavel]

I love it,I know it sounds crazy but you gotta make a tutorial on that

[Alex0Dial]

I can't stop watching this :p

[Acoustix77]

Beautiful. The only sad side-effect is that I feel more single than ever.. :o(

[Cokemaple]

aw cmon 1 dislike?! :(

[kyrvhy]

I really like the darker color of this variation and the resolute quality from6:00 to 7:30 and the final summation and return to the original dark tones on to the end is luscious.

[synxfirefox]

Y u so good?!

[iamstoned4life]

Beautiful improv, Kyle.

That modulation at 4:25 was just perfect. I started to practice piano more seriously. You're a great inspiration! Thx.

[661Marz]

how may i obtain this song good man

[xenrosaguldfisk]

When you make these wonderful improvisations, you should tell us all what you think of, where the feelings comes from! Thats atleast interesting to me!

[xswooshx]

4:20 - 5:05 is a nutty little segment.

[megadodd]

Wow Kyle, i've watched each of your videos for about 4 years I believe.

And this one, do really impress!

[unknown157th]

Such a hauntingly beautiful song thank you Kyle

[atlejohnny]

the opening makes me think about twin peaks. did you ever see that show? it has a lot of interesting music. i think your take on laura palmer's theme would be really intriguing to hear :)

[Alex0Dial]

The lone dislike xD

[darx117]

I love that key change...5:57 to 512 simply other worldly

[TeaBagTheCat09]

A lot of parts of your improvisations sound like they should be on a soundtrack to a Hayao Miyazaki film. Those are some of the most beautiful and deepest piano tracks that I've ever heard before, so I thank you for playing

[lara6683]

4:28 and 4:58. YES.

[YouGaveMeAPick]

I. Have. That. Lamp! :D

-similarity orgasm-

[nellAynoT]

A single dislike, hahahhah...

[MrTotoFan]

wow this is awesome man!

[chickachickayeahXD]

Sometimes I just can't believe these are improvisations. They're too good.

[lllllllllllllll88]

Oh, Kyle, I should have known it was you. You have more technology than Apple. lol

( :

Sounds great!

[lllllllllllllll88]

This is so beautiful and tranquil.

How do you get such beautiful acoustics? Reverb, and what? A mic? The bass sounds so rich and powerful. I have a V-Piano and I don't get half this.

(Must be me...) - I am so clueless about audio.

[BeyKex]

3:53 - 4:58 .

I was talking with my girlfriend about her problems, and I didn't know what to say. Then, I sent her this video and told her: 'That part of the song makes me want to hug a piano while crying in an unexplainable way'.

And then she forgot about everything and said: 'I love you' .

(continues in another comment)

[BeyKex]

@BeyKex

We're living 200 km away each other due to my studying circumstances. We see each other every two weeks during 2 days. But I felt her as if she were here with me.

So I tell you, Kyle, could all this story may be because of your music? I think so. And I'm so glad it is that way =)

Yeah, I was the same guy who asked that same girl to go out with me in the 'Apologize variations' video. You, dear Kyle, are part of our lives in a mysterious, oversensitive way.

Thanks for all.

[kylelandry]

@BeyKex Just let me know when the wedding is.

KL

[BeyKex]

@kylelandry Sure I will, dude :)

And again... thanks for all

[Pianist203]

Hey Kyle, try sometime play an improv that have feeling of nightmare and evilness. you know, something really dark.

[morpheas768]

This is pure magic!

I wonder why people think its just music, hmm....

[GmasterRED]

Hmm I think this is one of my favorites. 

[Arxaiht]

I love how pianists always move their hands so gracefully while playing..

[2517155]

that key change at 4:28.......made me cry man tears * snif* good stuff man good stuff.

[filmmaker14100]

Hey man,I was wondering,could you do one of "I just can't wait to be king"? I would really appreciate it.

[BANGITSHarry]

I only wish I could play this beautifully, used to play piano in the past but have forgotten almost everything I learned.. sigh..

[Wowurgaylol]

@BANGITSHarry haha loser!

[Newguy055]

@Wowurgaylol Why is it so that at every 'Kyle Landry' vid I find some offensive comments of you?

If you don't have anything good to say, please get the f* off

[leekaiwei]

oh how i've missed these lol

[darkkittenangel]

Very beautiful

[Ninjadude973]

I know I probably sound stupid right now, but could you please do Nathan's theme from Uncharted?

It's a really beautiful song, and knowing you, you could make even more love to it ;)

[EvanFingerstyle]

Weren't you going to use your other account to post originals/improvs? o_o

[drewmightplaypiano]

Hey Kyle. I have transcribed my favorite part of your improv from 3:53 to 4:13. I was just wondering if i could have your permission to post that part on my channel for other viewers. Let me know if I have your word to do so since it's an original composition... Anyone interested in sheets of this improv from 3:53 to 4:13 please like my comment so Kyle can see!!!!1 :p

- Drew (Official Transcriber of Kyle's cover of "Alphaville - Forever Young")

[kylelandry]

@drewmightplaypiano That's 100% okay with me, you can share the sheets, as long as it is an excerpt. Could you email me them?

[drewmightplaypiano]

@kylelandry sure man! what's your email?

[kylelandryoriginals]

@drewmightplaypiano it's on my website :p

[drewmightplaypiano]

@kylelandry i was also wondering if you could accept it as a video response. :p

[MrBufellow]

@kylelandry Kyle HOLY CRAP!! How'd you manage that amazing part at 3:57 to 4:01 off improv?? Do you mind if I use that tune with the F-E-C-D as a part of a song I'm writing for a game me and my friends are making? I won't use it as the main theme, but I feel compelled to use it at least to let more people hear it, I'm in love with it now. Please?

[just4schoolactivitys]

@drewmightplaypiano mind sending me that part? lol would be awesome to play at school talent show

[McCargot]

You know what? Your music makes me extremely happy because I can enjoy these moments and extremely sad because I know that I'll never be as good as you. I like this feeling. :)

[Wowurgaylol]

@McCargot what he's physically playing isn't really that hard if you've been playing piano for a few years.. the real amazing thing about kyle is this amazing music comes from inside his HEAD... completely on the spot..... i still can't believe how genius this kid is. never ceases to amaze me. *---*

[AzureFlammeKite]

Perfekt for a new Final Fantasy soundtrack :D

[PianoNinjaQK]

Kyle it would please me to no end if you wrote a few specifically Kingdom Hearts influenced original compositions! :D

[JuveCassi]

Hey Kyle, great job once again with this video! I would love to hear you play some more songs from Zelda - Ocarina of time like Shiek's theme or the theme of the owl that talks to Link sometimes. Guess those would sound awesome!

[hassanemailz1]

Thumbs up, sheets are turning into huge BOOKS ...... :)

Keep it up.

[Wowurgaylol]

@hassanemailz1 he doesn't play a whole book of music lol silly goose. it's a book of music that has multiple sheets of music. silly goose!!! lolz!!!1

[hassanemailz1]

@Wowurgaylol I meant to say he is working even harder. You took it wrong

[Wowurgaylol]

@hassanemailz1 lolz!!!1

[kyrvhy]

I like this a lot Lyle. 3:00 to 6:00 min, could stand on it's own and from 8:00 onward too. You are such a Talent. Keep studying, Please :)

[MrSmileyFella]

took you a while! I was starting to worry :'(

[PeterMansourMusic]

Nice Sandisk USB Drive

[kisstherajn]

4:43 to 4:53 there are 10 seconds .........the best

[Kagome11295]

DUDE! you are AMAZING! O.O

[GarmaZabi]

I really hope your incredible skill is as well respected in real life as it is on here; The world needs to know of your talent!!

[Baileycolelohr9000]

Baxstar anyone?



[michaeljk700]

You're the modern beethoven

[661Marz]

So emotional yet powerful, the intensity yet subtleness from this song is so soothing yet jaw dropping. Its music like this that makes me forget about everything in the world and inspires me to keep creating music in the likes of one day acheving what you have made a part of you. Keep up the good work kyle

[l3lackedout]

oh my god INTENSE

[herbytree]

Outstanding improvisation, one of your best in my opinion. Everytime I watch one of your videos and witness your skill and creativity it just makes my day.

[ImAGrateSpellr]

hey kyle, what is your favorite video you have posted?

[SyaoranXiaoLi]

I've heard many of your Improv, does that mean that this was all made at the spur of the moment? Cause that's what i usually think of when someone says improvisation, that it's all what you play without thinking about it. Please explain Kyle, your music is beautiful but i can't appreciate it if I don't know what you mean when you post it T^T

[kylelandry]

@SyaoranXiaoLi Yes, completely stream of consciousness composition. I sit down, and play. It's all about using your ear! (well that combined with knowing chords)

[mcintyreftw]

Are you a fan of Jordan Rudess? If you are, I'm betting he's proud of you!

[rickytutaan]

this is every masterpiece.

[MrPiano1994]

4:29 to 4:40 has an outstanding harmony and chordal change... reminiscent of Rachmanioff's Piano Concerto No.2, yes?

[Soapygold]

I love D minor. Amazing work as always!

[alexgomezoriginals]

I want to talk with you in private when you have time. Thanks!

[alexgomezoriginals]

Kyle this is a Great Improvisation, with avant-garde parts. Very beautiful. Congratulations.

Alex Gómez

[kosatw]

kyle i bought your 3 cd why there is a noise in some composition and there is also some distortion at the begining of "lost depresion"

you shuold check your records on the good quality earphones before adding on i tunes

[magicturbo9]

@kosatw I've also bought his 3rd CD and there's no distortion in my copy... I haven't picked out any noise or issues with sound quality in other pieces either. maybe it's your own headphones or something?

[magicturbo9]

@YellowUmbrellaLove Because I'm momentarily going crazy

[YellowUmbrellaLove]

@magicturbo9 What?!?! Why?!?!?

You probably didn't even know I'm not allowed to post til tomorrow otherwise IN will hate me :(

I misses you :(

[kosatw]

@magicturbo9 the distortion is at the begeining check on the earphones

[magicturbo9]

@kosatw I listen with headphones.. Bose headphones <3.. and it sounds distortion free to me =/

[Renzomilan96]

baxstar is alive

[BreakingPhobia103]

i really want to be as great as you and one day be even better ! I'll work real hard.

[BoyOfLol]

Beautiful.

[esther17ify]

[maxpanchoo]

[Lappith]

@maxpanchoo Yamaha P155

[DGBeatProduction]

You are a very inspirational musician Kyle. I really adore your Piano playing. Your Improvisations are wonderful, emotional and inspiring for every musician who listens to it.

Keep up your amazing work!

-DG

[elise620]

i love you.

[Sammytammy101]

My wish for you is that you really truely enjoy what you plan on doing in your future. If it's not piano, I'll miss you, but from a musician to another- music is not music without passion.

[FruitifiedNinja]

I only liked this because Combat Arm's Baxstar liked it :l Nice though ;)

[TyLeeslilsis]

Almost sounds like an Audio Machine piece. <3 Love, love, LOVE!

[Uzzie597]

yay new vid =D

[i4future]

I started working on the Main Theme from Skyrim, its a fun piece to play on piano, you should give it some serious consideration. Would love to hear your interpretation of the piece!

[Qwin2L]

3:53 to 4:57 is beautiful...

[drewmightplaypiano]

3:53 to 4:13 brought tears to my eyes.. you're such an inspiration Kyle.

4:00 to 4:01 is such a beautiful musical phrase, i just can't get enough of just those 2 seconds...

just unbelievable how every single new video you make becomes my new ear addiction. : ' ' ' ' )

[seanwesmusic]

@drewmightplaypiano When he played that section, I literally said out loud "DANG!" I had other windows up while listening and came back and saw your comment mentioning the same section. Powerful, powerful stuff.

[GmasterRED]

@drewmightplaypiano This so much.

[starfire139]

@Hapticpianist Oh that's right, I had forgotten. Haha I knew he mentioned the p140 somewhere. XD

[Deneteus]

I always feel like I am being watched when I try to record freestyle.

[starfire139]

Great music to listen to while recuperating from surgery at home. :)

[starfire139]

@Hapticpianist Wasn't he using a p140?

[hegigwa7]

Great job Kyle!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MisterMikeyMonster]

Simply beautiful. I've been playing piano for about 7 years and also post improvisations, I hope to one day become as good as you are. :)

[JediMagnet09]

wow. That is truly amazing. Very beautiful, thank you! :)

[jiol24]

So...So... No words can describe this improvisation.

[cheapsheep4sale]

i think this isn't the first time he played this but something he previously played and decided to record it =) still awesome!

[MaRin34lyf]

How the heck is this improv!?!?!

That's truly incredible Kyle.

Do you realize how fast your brain has to be working for this to be possible?

I Envy you.

[chiz258]

When are you going to record a CD so i can buy it?... Still waiting

[kylelandry]

@chiz258 I have three! I posted my first CD back in 09.

[chiz258]

@kylelandry Damn im behind times..... times to go and buy :)

[Lizzajr118]

Kyle u legend

[lo0o0oser1]

KYLES SO DREAMY

[dezzieokio]

Kyle, you considered making your appearance on ThePianoGuys channel?

[gamerlayne]

@dezzieokio Holy crap Kyle+ThePianoGuys would be the GREATEST COLLAB EVER. SERIOUSLY DO IT KYLE.

[magicturbo9]

@dezzieokio I think you have it wrong...

ThePianoGuys should consider making an appearance on Kyle's channel ;)

[Mikask8]

Your music makes my heart melt... haha

[AutumnWillow17]

this is amazing :) it sounds like a brain crain kind of tune (except WAY better, because this is imorov, and improv is legit)

[JMCGabriel]

Baxstarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :D

[25Vasile]

miphisto55 brought me here...

[JezzAngel]

The improvs keep getting better and better <3

[sinatrocious]

simply epic.. two of those fortissimo parts in middle and close to end just burn something deep inside me.. i think i am doomed to play ma piano now for next day or two! thanks! =D

[nickouzumaki]

Another great improv :'D

[moradianhong]

a great improv. piece~

just inspiring!

[iDreamZzWalker]

I wish you a merry christmas, I wish ..... Oh, it's not the moment ? Ok, I go out -> []

[NQSchleu]

friend : huh, too awesome for an improv

friend: OH FU-

[xjustamem0ryx]

make sweet love to dem keyz.

[Sortros1]

who the fuck disliked this?

[Zerkary]

sir, you are truly amazing, thank you for doing what you do

[ImCalebRosengard]

I wonder how often Kyle gets laid after playing one of these improvisations to girls around him

[TruePiano1]

Hello Kyle, You play with the greatest of expression! The sound quality is unbelievably rich. What model of piano is this? Cheers, Rob.



[1juno1]

@TruePiano1 yamaha p155

[TruePiano1]

@1juno1 Thank you!

[MegaLamb]

This really does sound like a full-blown piece and I for one would love the sheet music to it.

[Artenheit]

8 fingers 2 thumps

[ImCalebRosengard]

I freaking love his skills

[rickb4you]

It's Great. I like it. What talent you have.

[VANORESTIOS666]

this one actually reminds me of kingdom hearts :p

that's one reason why its awesome

[agrferreira]

Another amazing job, but i like no80 more :P

[Thomas11611]

@kylelandry I played Mozart like you said and I am doubting julliard a little cause of tuition. I'm suppost to get ready for a college audition for music. I'm going for a major in it and I need to know how to prepare for this audition. I need your advice alone. Even my music teacher said I should get outside perspectives on this.

[LelouchViBri]

Well he obviously has more skill than most of us, but stop complaining, Kyle was in the same place, admiring other players, like us, before he stepped up and mastered the piano. ^.^

[C0nstellati0ns]

why didn't I start earlier?

[xAtriusValentinex]

I'm gonna share this with my next generation

[Sambu111]

this makes me feel so tiny with my small piano skills... :/

[EpicTrollOfNorway]

So touching

[SabrinaValenzuela]

So amazing~ <3

[fierypiano]

I'm always wondering why your p155 is sounding so different from mine. Do you use any special tools after audacity?

[CleverDjembe]

MY FAVORITE impro for a long time.

[AlanticAz]

Best piano player on youtube :DD!

[justinox23]

Nice improvisation Kyle!!  :D Keep up the good work!!

[DuhPhilTrain]

I'm curious. Do you proform in public?

[T4T3RT0T5]

Is this literally an improv session? Does he literally just make this up as he goes and rolls the camera in the mean time? Lordy lordy... I hope that I can be half as good as you someday in my piano playing skills...

[costadelstevo]

@T4T3RT0T5 he is very skilled. he even improvises with music sheets... adding a bunch of notes to the original while playing... of course there is a lot of technique and predictable arpeggios but it's still difficult to master while improvising.

[palmomki]

@T4T3RT0T5 no , if I'm right, these improvisations are pieces he had somehow "composed" previously, so he chooses the theme and starts playing with variations and complementary themes, and then he records himself while playing what he had already chosen, plus improvising a lot... anyway it's a very good job
