Touhou - Alice in Wonderland / Doll Judgment on Piano

The title is a bit different, because this isn't really part of my project. I think I'm wandering off more to self-arrangements soon...

About the themes now, Alice in Wonderland is one of the best themes out there, its melody is simple yet soothing and sorrowful at the same time. Because of this theme and the Grimoire of Alice, Alice has become one of my favourite characters in Touhou due to her mysterious history and past.

I didn't want to modulate into C# minor (because I'm saving that for an Alice Medley I'm working on), so I continued with Doll Judgment. The link between her past and present. I also did a little transition from Romantic Children to Doll Judgment, which in my opinion fits perfectly.

I don't think I have to tell you again how much of a musical genius ZUN is. Several of Alice's themes (I consider her stage themes as her themes as well, as the titles directly relate to her) are actually closely intertwined, and I can almost feel the music itself reaching out to me, attempting to reveal the story behind this enigmatic character. These are also the themes I enjoy most playing on the piano.

Do you plan on doing Grimoire of alice? If you have already and I just haven't found it plz let me know ^^. Would love to hear your rendition of that. Especially maybe the version that's in that one fighting game? Has some pretty great complicated piano work that you'd do really well I think.

@Zellig I plan on doing a medley on Alice's themes, but probably not Grimoire of Alice on its own. The 12.3 version is pretty hard, I'm not that good with running note passages, but I've tried it before. Not in any condition to record, though. xp

Also I just noticed that pretty much all of your videos have static from the mic in there. Might want to think about a noise-canceling method of sorts.

[Holeyhell]

@Vulcapyro @exaltdragon well yeah if I'm going to do more recording I'd probably have to find a better mic...but I don't really know much about them.. I have a friend who may get some recording equipment for his S$40k grand piano so maybe just maybe I can do some recording at his place

[Darkbeastganon2]

Sweet =D

Oh, what camera do you use?

[Holeyhell]

@Darkbeastganon2 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3. For some reason it can't record sound though, so i have to use a microphone for that.

i put on the snow effect and now its getting filled up to the top......

Im a huge fan of your videos, and as Alice's themes and character design were also my favorite, this one is getting saved into like 4 different playlists.

Thanks again for all your work, and best of luck with whatever endeavors you may be engaged in currently.

@Holeyhell AWw, well i hope some day you can XD I'd care to listen even if you think it's not so great. Either way, I hope it gets incorporated somewhere along the line and keep making these videos :) thank you

Oh yeah MS extra stage theme is really nice... I think you really outdid yourself with this rendition. Nice transition to Doll Judgement too, I didn't feel a sudden shift at all. Personally not a fan of Alice or her themes/stage's themes but the thing about ALice in Wonderland is that it's iconic, I'll give it that...

Regarding what Vulcapyro said, you might want to look at software to remove the static noise. There are some free and paid ones like Audacity and Soundbooth that can do so easily.
