Piano Covers: Video Games

[JCardiff]

Ok so something you might not now about me, I play piano... I've been playing since I was 3.

These are a few songs from my favorite video games

You need Dropbox to listen to them and they are each 2-4 minutes unless otherwise noted

I don't want to say goodbye- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

Temporal Tower- Pokemon

Ruby Sapphire Emerald Medley- Pokemon RSE (27 minutes)

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Ending Theme

Yes I played all of these and the ending theme is in the medley but it's a different version and the medley is really long so if you don't listen to that one then I put it there for you.

Thanks to Kyle Landry for arranging most of this music and putting the sheet music out there for download.

You're really good!

I've been playing violin since I was like 7 maybe we could do a violin/piano duet sometime!

That is if you or me could ever get to the others place.

These are very good, enjoying listening to them, you have a lot of talent!  Definitely better than me at playing the piano, I started 3 years ago. I did print out the sheet music to Besaid Theme from FFX for piano though, could play a part of it I'm pleased to say! 



You mention Kyle Landry of course, and there's also Lara de Wit who might be further inspiration for you, she generally focuses on more video game covers on the piano, and she, like yourself, is very skilled at it. (as is Kyle Landry) They're friends as a matter of fact!

Yes I've heard of Lara, and I've been trying to see if she's willing to do a duet (though I doubt she'd have the time I mean I'm not famous, just a guy with a hobby) I also am looking forward to a certain Piano/Violin colab in the future! Currently though I am arranging a version of To Zanarkand with an interlude from Chromosome Trigger that I think sounds nice, it's for the Glock but I think it sounds nice (I can't play Glock) and I am composing a piece to represent the struggles I've faced in my life. After that though I'm heading to Florida for a colab with one of this sites members! We've been working together on the piece for a while now but haven't had actual time to play it with each other live, and well violin sounds much better live, I will be recording our first run only Dolby Surround Portable Recorder and uploading it. I will make a new post for some of the journey to this colab (I'll take pictures of Florida) hope I can go to Disney, I've never been.

I'm really loving this piece too! I'm not sure if you want them to know the piece or not, so I won't say yet but I will say its a fairly good piece for this colab, though I'd much rather be playing it on Cello... If only I knew cello

You should video yourself playing! Would be great to see your technique, you sound incredibly advanced and clean at the piano.

Enjoying Windfall Island currently! Honestly if you'd release a CD I'd buy it, I'd certainly say that it is of quality people would pay money for! Ah you should definitely keep trying for that duet with Lara, I don't think she would be biased, and I'm sure if she just heard even one of these pieces I'm sure she'd be interested.

Well good luck, all of the projects sound great, (one of them with you ThePersona I gather? if so, looking forward to it!) would be great to hear those collaborations when they're ready.

Yes I'm really excited I've never played with anyone who was better at their instrument than I am at mine (mostly cause the only duet I've ever done was with my little sister who just started learning, we played Mary had A Little Lamb) and I've definitely never known someone so talented at piano before so this is a my first true duet.
