Unbelievable, now we sit here 3 years later, still waiting for GW2, it is so close, I can feel the Mists pulling me in closer with each day that passes...
@Bala666 that is the norn theme.... The main theme of guild wars 2 is the main soundtrack for gw1.... check the manifesto theme and then check the gw1 sound track...
Very nice! I understand that it can be hard to hit some of the notes that they hit in the trailer because your doing it on a piano. But My God! Thats Much better then anything I can do musically! Great job
hey BranShew7, its not bad but sorry, sounds clipped, not liquid played. maybe you should try to listen the song and play it by listening - hear it, go to your piano and play it like you feel it, sheet music sucks, cause how " bl0WfPC0M" said it, its for a orchester, not for the piano, when you want to play something like this on the piano you have to build your own version!!! sry for my bad english, and nice gaming ;)
@92maxc It doesn't sound fluidly played because it isn't; you're right. :-P I don't practice my arrangements/transcriptions as much as I should before I upload them, but I'm not gonna stop transcribing orchestral music. It's my hobby. That being said, I'm still a novice, so I'm always trying to improve my transcriptions by transcribing with more regards to playability. Of course, I know I need to practice more before I upload videos. :-P
@BranShew7 I think I agree with the fact that its not fluid, but neither were your original uploads of let's say the EOTN Overture before you reuploaded it and now it sounds much better. Perhaps something similar can be done here ;)
However that being said, great job anyway, and continue doing what you love.
@brego129 Maybe...maybe. :) I'm less and less involved with YT, though, tbh, and I'm thinking of just leaving all the videos I have up. I've been working on a PotC: On Stranger Tides piece, but I'm not sure I'll finish. Arranging music has just gotten kinda old, and I think I need to start being original/composing. Of course, contests motivate me to arrange, haha.
nice job man! But i think its not really good to play this music at the piano before 1min 50 (sorry for speaking english very bad^^) After i like it :)
Jeremy soule is a genious composer and i absolutly love the high quality of music the original guild wars tirlogie had and it seems that they will keep impressing me with these musical masterpieces in guild wars 2 aswell :)
Thanks! Indeed, it is different, but the reason I do transcriptions is because I get a sense of enjoyment out of playing my favorite soundtracks on piano, so I'm not gonna stop doing what I enjoy. ;)
@IlMOD I think I first heard about Branshew from some A-net post somewhere... so its possible that they know about him and could do something like that. I think they plan on including some stuff related to the community so lets hope they decide on this ^.^
Yeah, I had to even leave out the grace notes for the right hand in the part that starts around 2:05. I don't have the sheet music up yet, but when I have it up, I'll post a message on this video/ my page. :)
great work brandon, yet another amazing job at arranging a piece of music. you have the talent to do this but unlike some, you actually enjoy and use your talents. keep up the awsome work =)
Gorgeous as usual Man XD i like it alot :O kinda pissed Gwen is dead lol i used mesmer backup alot in GW1 it was helpfull XD and it pissed peeps off in hero battles lol Horray interupts
Finally you're back with some Guild Wars music. And yet again, epic, awesome, and oh so beautiful ;). my favourite part of the song is the ending with the hint of Eye Of The North in it. And I don't like the ''Asura'' part, that isn't your fault tho :D
Unbelievable, now we sit here 3 years later, still waiting for GW2, it is so close, I can feel the Mists pulling me in closer with each day that passes...
