My breath was taken away by this arrangement of one of the most beautiful themes I ever heard in a videogame in my entire life! You're a very talented person. I wish I could play the piano as well as you do... :( Congratulations for such a great performance! :)
Coming back to this piece you played, I realize how much more depth you put into it than I originally thought. You've put feeling and (especially) atmosphere into this beautiful piano tune, which I appreciate, considering this was a stand-out track for me when I first played the game.
I'm looking forward to more of your playings, Aivi. Have a happy holiday season, and a Merry Christmas.
@jonny2005450 Thanks a lot, I'm so glad you like it. I really love this song, and tried my best to draw it out into a full musical story instead of a short loop like in the game. Hope you're having a happy new year!
nice cool calming elegant epic snog! nice job. plus you might have other things to do and you might be kinda busy. but hey its ok! nice dress. what happened to the electric grand piano? did you move? well good job!!
Oh how cool! I almost feel special since I used to leave the Wii on at this world map because the music was too soothing, lol. Great playing as usual.
Some times when I can't sleep I put on a play list of your soft songs and it always helps, so not only are your covers so amazing they actually help! I appreciate it so much the hard work and dedication you put into every cover and original song.
Very beautiful. Love the intro-very lovely rubato.This piece really reminds me of something hamauzu would write when he's not being particular about complexity. Those floaty/sus7 and extended minor harmonies really sound beautiful =)
You always play so beautifully, and this was no different. I loved the embellishments you made on this piece of music, which is one so simple and wonderful in Mario Galaxy 2. Great job!
I would like you to personally know that I really enjoyed this piece when I heard it in the game, because it struck me as oddly serene and calm for the upbeat cheery game it was proving to be.
You amaze me time after time, AiviTran. Keep up the great work.
Don't do KH music, it's too boring for your style, I could be wrong, but still. assuming you've still got that roommate that played Breeze in the Clouds with you, you should have a go at arranging the SSBBrawl version of Bramble Blast.
I was finishing SMG2 a few days ago, and I was seriously going to find out how to play the World 3 music. Guess what appeared in my sub-box a few days later?
Nice playing and nice place (I've watched it at Zorsy's channel) it surelly has a viewtiful view, perfect for playing in the afternoons, looking at the landscape and probably having a warm cup of coffee feeling the breeze, so relaxing...
Hello again. I got extra RAM and now my laptop handles music production significantly better. I also have Komplete 8! I was wondering what you thought was a good product to purchase next. I was thinking about Session Strings Pro or a Vienna instruments product. I can't spend much more so I'd appreciate any advice. Would you care to listen to one or two of my compositions? Maybe the style would be aided by a specific product? I wish links were allowed... I can PM you a couple links if you'd like.
@synchronizerman Oh my, I am not the best person to ask! I still haven't shelled out for a nice set of VST's myself - I just use the defaults that came with my DAW and record live whenever possible. A lot of people I know use Native Instruments, so I think you're on the right track there. Both strings you mentioned are quite popular... if your budget was 10x larger, I'd say just go for LASS, haha. Sorry I can't be more helpful! I'd be happy to listen to your pieces for pure enjoyment, though.
@waltzforluma Oh well thanks for your opinion though. LASS Lite is actually in my price-range, but something feels really off when I buy something that's watered down.
@waltzforluma Your roommate also has a keyboard? You guys don't mind having them both out and taking up space? I hope you guys do duets and stuff together! That'd be fun :P
@akpokemon My keyboard is almost as important as my bed - I'd rather "put away" all of my other furniture and just pull them out of the closet when I need them, haha.
I hope we'll play a duet someday, too! It seems like a waste not to take advantage of an extra pair of hands, especially since he's a classically-trained pianist, formerly in a rock band, and a composer that I've worked with semi-professionally...
Thank you, I couldn't have asked for more. Everything flows so perfectly and you put so much emotion into your playing, I think this might be my favorite of your arrangements so far. Keep up the good work!
This is my favorite song from the maps in Super Mario Galaxy. It's so beautiful and so simply amazing that it's just irresistible to listen to... I'm glad you made a video on this, because what better way to listen to this song than to listen to it played on the piano by you.... :)
All right! Nice on! That a nice song! You rock girl! Love it! its more, its sounds identic!
