Dom Plays Chrono Trigger on Piano

I decided I wanted to do a medley of songs from my all time favorite game - Chrono Trigger, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu. I made a few mistakes playing this, but this one's my favorite so far. I played all this straight through and unrehearsed, but I did cut out one song in the middle to keep the vid under the 10 minute limit.

I decided for each Chrono Trigger song I was going to pair it up with a completely unrelated, but similar sounding, song from another game. If you hear something you recognize, post a comment. Mad props if you name all 21 songs.

What game should I do next?

Btw, I run the game music concerts at the Music and Gaming Festival, and if you like this vid, you should DEFINITELY GO TO MAGFEST. http://magfest.org/ It's 1300 people in a hotel, 4 days of lan and console gaming, freeform game music jamming, and home of the best videogame music concerts in the world. It is THE 100% fan-made event for videogame music. January 1-4 2010 this year.

great job are you self taught? or did you learn from tutors/ classes?

[binary1230]

@jman92929 I took lessons for a while, but all the videogame / jazz stuff / playing by ear I picked up on my own.

You, sir, rock. So does Chrono Trigger. You don't rock quite as much as CT, but then nothing does.

5/5.

@binary1230 Wow! Amazing playing, especially for an all-time favorite like Chrono Trigger. Ever tried out Chrono Cross? Another great game, with an awesome soundtrack. Perhaps you could make a video doing songs from that game.

By the way, any tips and advice for an envious beginner in piano? Watching all these videos of people showing their commitment to playing video game themes is quite inspiring for someone like me.

Listened to this for the first time 7-8 months ago and always find myself coming back to it. Very, very well done.
