Cave Story on Piano - Plantation & Moonsong - Doukutsu

This is my first YouTube piano video; I apologize for the poor quality.

Here's me playing selections from Daisuke Amaya's (Pixel's) masterpiece, Cave Story, specifically, excerpts from "Plantation"/Main Title and "Moonsong"/Outer Wall, with an additional improv on the latter.

Sorry, but I don't have sheet music for these pieces, as I play by ear only.

I'm still learning these pieces, this is kind of a work in progress. Let me know if you like it :)

For reference, my piano is a Roland RD-700 with an SRX-11 Complete Piano expansion. Special thanks to Dizbuster for holding the camera.

@19911991yoju

No GX, SX, or NX. Just the original RD-700 from 2001, which I've since replaced with a Korg SV-1 88.

Are you using SRX-11 here please?

[rattusvulpes]

Yes, I am.

But keep in mind it's going through an Amp and then through a crappy camcorder, so it's not the most flattering example of the card's quality.

Oh my god, Cave Story

That game changed my life...

Cave story was more then just a game.

@MattiPrower Not to mention Cave Story Plus on Steam now with a higher resolution and options between the old soundtrack and the new one being released recently. Lets hope Cave Story goes even farther than it has!

Could you give me a link to the sheet music

cave story is awsom

@rattusvulpes WiiWare version has been released as far as I know, and I hear tell that Pixel has stated himself; "A sequel is very, very likely". There's also the Nintendo 3DS port, another rumor about a potential Super Smash Brothers' cameo appearance of Quote and possibly Curly, Balrog, Misery, and Sue, and from what I understand, future ports of the anticipated sequel onto the weeaboo- I mean "Wee-U". Cave Story's legacy is just beginning!

It WAS more than a game. It was a five-year journey for Daisuke 'Pixel' Amaya, who spent all of his time perfecting everything in the game. The scripts, the designs, the programming, the maps, EVERYTHING in the game was made by one man. And though he spent all of his time and no doubt made many sacrifices to learn his skills, programming and making Ikachan in the process, he released to the world free of charge. Pixel is, in my book, one of the best game makers of all time.
