@metalmilitia89 I don't think you are... ugh... I can't find a single emulator for any system for lion... why mac thought it would be a good idea to get rid of power PC completely is beyond me.

Trying to mix a percussive jazz piano in a song right now, aside from being pretty new to mixing, I can't really find any good tutorials online. I'm finding your recordings to be really helpful starting places :). It sounds like the mid frequencies are slightly boosted, while the highs are reduce...

oh my god... I'm taking a history of rock class, and have to write a short paper on a concept album. I don't know much about rock so I googled "concept albums," and here i am on the final song with 30 pages of hand written notes. I've been moved to tears, I've laughed, I've nodded in agreement; t...

@Gameguy723 Gawd I want this comment to get thumbed up to the top. I at least, played my part.

@nexusdrifter Ha, I had the same thoughts the other day. So I'm doing an orchestral remix, with garritan personal orchestra. I'll send you a link when I upload the WIP (just know it's an orchestral remix, not an exact translation).

What i like most about this list is how you featured Uematsu's amazingly varied styles, the best of each are all here.His electronica, his modern orchestral... his 17th century counterpuntal orchestral, his operatic orchestral, his electronica orchestral fusion, and even his rock! Great list!

@kirawillrise Plus it was something of the WORST character dialogue I've ever seen written... I think ff13 made the "final" transition for final fantasy into the realm of complete cliched anime... sigh...

@LagSong Well... as long as your not catholic I see no conflict.

hey great short vid. I've played by ear my entire life, and only recently taken up learning classical pieces via site reading. I've been so perplexed as to why it's been such a struggle to hit notes with the proper dynamics, even though i could do arpeggios and fast songs relatively easy. Then I ...

wow... i've been transcribing this piece for piano, because I couldn't find a version that did justice to each voice. Turns out, it's kinda difficult to play a counterpuntal song fallowing strictly the string quartet notation. I love every decision made here by this pianist, the dynamics... the f...

holy crap... i've spent 4 days... 8 hours today, 12 yesterday, transcribing this song from the string quartet notation to piano, trying to do justice to each string voice, and hit the perfect dynamic... constantly listening to string quartets playing this song... taking note of each instrument an...

Sooo... a friend wants me to play at her wedding, and i'm preparing a full repertoire. I've got several nice classical pieces, I lead into Debussy's clair de lune (why does this not get played more at weddings?). I'm wondering... anyone think this would be a good piece to add? Debussy leads into ...

Gawd I loved the techno-ish industrial sounds he used under a lot of the unbelievable orchestrations and themes. Maybe because my brain automatically hears a non-digitalized SNES version :P.

So for the past 8 months I've been studying orchestration and composition... 8-10 hours a day. Since I began I've for some reason never gone back to my favorite music of all time. I'm so relieved that even with a deeper understanding of music, this piece still shines as brilliant. Even though it'...

@NovemVmbrae666 Plus I thought that the parts marked legato he hit perfectly. Besides, staccato with little to know pedaling was largely the style for work done in this time.

Aaaaaaaand... i just realized i'm replying to a post made 5 months ago... and yet I'm still going to hit the post button.

Wow, his father's chair certainly stood the test of time, but has definitely grown ragged and worn here. Hats off to ya glenn.

@bersa888 What an intrigueing comment. The implication here then is that Bach wrote the music, and everything after is just commentary or footnotes; that maybe in another 300 years we could interperet his music perfectly.

Not at all disregarding or belittling the comment, as I've only JUST begun...

woah... haha, perfect transition into the dance part! And great understanding of baroque counterpoint :). Really fun to listen to!

I've been really studying baroque composition, tonality, and musicianship. This was a really wonderful performance, and I enjoyed it a great deal! I'm heavily considering making my own lute right now :).

oh my god... I love how your cell phone ring was the final fantasy theme! Haha, great vids, and really helpful :).

@zergb0ng When has the mass ever made good decisions on the quality of something? Friends was perfect for the 90s sure, but this is perfect and hitting the right audience for today... and frankly, is a better show all around. If the majority decided what was better or worse on a cosmic scale, the...

@elgaed69 My previous comment probably should have been directed to this. I'm wondering if you could elaborate your point?

I discovered this music tonight by chance... used as background music on some vid I came across. It was all foreign and took me forever to figure out who the artist was... but I had to.

Gawd I love those moments where you find a group/band/soundtrack/song that totally enchants you. Looks like I ...

If my chem teacher were this guy, I may actually show up to class.

This... definitely deserved the grammy it won.

It's not a strikingly complicated song, and it's chord progression (During the singing intro) is so common it can be found in any modern pop song, or christian label... but there is something about the vocal arrangement, and the development of the p...

It's amazing how much his style of composition has changed from his first ever album till now... from music emphasizing rhythm and texture with only loose melodies and harmonies, to music emphasizing unity, melody, harmony, and feeling.

@THETruthiness It takes the ability to count out the rhythm of 182 measures in your head, so that... on the 183rd, you nail that triangle piece with perfect clarity, and with the utmost musicality. In addition it requires years of laborious study on triangle performance, and usually a secondary s...

wow... it's amazing to me how simply brilliant hisaishi is. I hope history recognizes that he is a very prominent figure in the development of 21rst century music.

@twilightxd because it's actually not simple at all :P. It balances itself nicely at the beginning with a general ascending tone and leaps. But it's the harmonic minor 7th chord that comes in underneath it, when the melody finally begins descending, that brings in the melancholy. Typically as lis...

@geomackie It actually is very much intended :). The Op. 33, while certainly not lacking in depth or structure, is somewhat whimsical and light hearted. The movement with the "weird gliss." is, I believe, Haydn having fun with the song. He's known for his musical "jokes," and those glissandos are...

I'm crazy impressed with how good garrison's personal orchestra sounds here... and how terrible and synthetic it sounds in most other places online. Is it still worth getting? Is it the personal operator who makes it sound good or bad?

Maybe it's because it's covered up by heavy drums here.

(Continued) She chose the one that was immediately easier on her (but in the long run leading to the fundamental predicament), which in turn robbed her family of happiness (or rather, "broken"). I'm not suggesting it would be better for her to stay and wear a mask, but I am suggesting that it see...

@MrA3mc

On it.

@autumnreign78 Hahaha, Black Angels is EXACTLY what came to my mind while I was reading the comments and thought, "you want A-tonal..." Even black angels though... while I wouldn't listen to it in my car, is interesting. This piece at least hints towards a melodic movement and occasionally a key,...

stunning picture... that strangely really fits this song.

@NevadaWrangler I'm not sure if the start trek themes can easily be compared honestly. Definite extreme similarities, but this piece sounds more like the intention is to sound deep and big, it's also more "grounded," as we start with a single note, eventually joined with others. In a way more mil...

@RevanHorner When I read the comment it was focused on a short asian woman, and I thought "Wow Sulu, why ARE you playing a trumpet?"

I wish there was as much interest today in combining synth and symphony in such a respectful, masterful way.

oh my god... finally a remix that is actually good!

All these terrible "club remixes" that don't even understand the rhythm, let alone the melodic and harmonic values of the strings or the counterpoint involved. Thanks for this!

I'm working on a solo piano version of this song, trying to incorpo...

Soooo helpful thank you!

Anyone love Oksana more after seeing this? She plays the piano with as much elegance and grace as she does dealing with the ridiculous media.

I'm pretty sure this song is just a standard 7/8.
