Xianning's Free Flowing (meaning rhythmless) piano arrangement of the theme Circle of the Moon (Awake) from Castlevania the gameboy advance game on piano.

experimenting with a new music style...an attempt at playing free flowingly piano without the restraint of rhythm. Free flowing musical style has been done before by a lot of ambient music writers...but never on piano...I'm just testing how it sounds with my arrangement of the Castlevania circle of the moon "awake" theme.

A little history about Castlevania to those who don't know about it. It is a game based on the story of Vlad Tepez also known in stories nowadays as Count Dracula coming back to life every century through the sacrifice of a maiden. So basically a hero has to go into the castle, slay demons and kill Count Dracula XD

The rythm makes it sound like you don't know the tune at all. Great that you got all the notes right but the rhythm was, in a word, inappropriate.

[xianning]

actually i'm not trying to mimic the original...if thats what you were all wondering...afterall, music is only art and its open for interpretation right? =D

thnx for the awesome comment though

[SupremeChickenx]

@xianning bahahaha the mindset of a true artist

[CoolxBreese]

I can see why people would want a cover of this song with a tempo closer to the GBA version, but I enjoyed it regardless.

[MastaGambit]

To be honest, I like this arrangement. Iunno what you guys are on. This isn't supposed to be a direct replaying of the original.

[arkides]

The beginning was great and you're obviously very talented, but this isn't a fast song, if you kept the same slow pace throughout the whole song it'd of sounded far better.

[IBroLLyISePhIrOtH]

wow man gj, BRAVO

[GeneralErlend]

Really well played. I know it was Free Flowing, but could you please make a version that has the same rythm as the original song?
