Second Reality Piano

Part of Future Crew's PC Demo "Second Reality", synced and mixed with video of my piano interpretation of Purple Motion's techno sound track. Sorry I don't quite have the perfect rhythm to play techno piano even with the help of a metronome, but you get the idea.

View the full demo too if you haven't seen it. It's probably one of the related videos listed.

Was it difficult to adapt a techno piece to synthetic piano?

[thwack318]

Not sure what you mean by synthetic piano... adapting anything to piano should be the same experience whether the piano is acoustic or otherwise. In any case, I did the adaptation on an acoustic many years ago, and I wouldn't say it was difficult. I just notate the parts I think are most essential, since I don't have enough fingers for all of it.

I think the 3d part after the scroll is the one that has most interesting melody for piano, this one is more techno. I think.

[thwack318]

The color plasma/smoke panels that fall off? I like the notation there too and I've figured out the quick 16th notes part, but I haven't taken the time to add the underlying melody.

[thwack318]

To those asking for the rest, I can only play through the one scene that follows ("Another Way to Scroll") - after that it's mostly techno filler with little melody so it sounds boring on the piano.

really nice idea

but maybe you should learn how to hit the right notes before you release something like this

[thwack318]

Actually I think you misunderstood the idea. I figured this out on the piano 10 years ago just for fun. The idea of the video was just to record it for posterity, not to enter it in a contest.

You forgot to yell "Get down!" @ 1:22

Anyway, cool idea, nice execution.

cheers.

Not bad.... A very good attempt to catch Purple Motion on Piano.

[gadgetmanjay]

0:49, this was my favorite part

[randomforum]

The next part after this is amazing (musicwise)

[thewiz80]

Get down?!

[johanbeyl]

Cool stuff!

[zirco77]

Great job!

This is unfortunately not yet part of any piano lessons... :) Perhaps one day, among other classics.

[babayaga26]

fantastic! =)

[Dekonega]

This is really nice. I would like to try it too...

[tompagenet]

I found this far, far more enjoyable than I should have. Seems incredible how long ago this was, I remember running it on my 386 and thinking I had quite a powerhouse.

great... needs some violins in the background..!
