Collections

I transcribed the midi file myself, so its not perfect, but close The program used to make this clip was with synthesia and recorded with fraps. Synthesia is the piano equivalent of guitar hero.

You can download the midi file from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/195329705/One_Winged_Angel.mid

If you want to learn to play it, then you can find the sheets here:

This is me playing the Piano Collections Version of To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X. I never played the game but once I’ve listened to the music, I just thought it’s wonderful. That’s why I upload this although there are a lot of versions on YouTube. Enjoy!

Here’s a wonderful song which was already requested a couple of times: Tifa’s Theme. Known from both the game, Piano Collections and the movie “Advent Children”.

If you are interested, this song has a special meaning for me. In fact, it was the beginning of Final Fantasy music and consequently a reason for me to purchase a (digital) piano.

In Summer 2006, I was not much into Final Fantasy. I then began to play FF8, and as I was fascinated by the game, I found out there was also a new Final Fantasy movie: Advent Children. It was when I watched the film that I heard Tifa’s Theme. I don’t know when I exactly got the original recording, but I didn’t know there existed the so called “Piano Collections” with its sheet music. The song fascinated me, and I began to transcribe it on my own, based on the original recording. I did quite well, and a few weeks later, I discovered the whole Piano Collection albums. I was thrown into a whole new world regarding music. As I played more Final Fantasy pieces, I kind of felt limited on my keyboard soon, the instrument I had learned 11 years. Finally, in November 2006, I got my wonderful piano, and since then there is no day I don’t play on it =)

Yeah, everything began with this song. A wonderful one …

Now let me tell a bit about this performance. I played this time with a bit more mellow piano, which results in a worse audio quality on YouTube. Looks like YouTube doesn’t like my mellow piano However, if you like my performance, you can of course download the high-quality MP3 from my website (http://arkton.modcraft.net/), so please don’t mind the audio in the video.

It could also be that I overdid rubato a bit, hehe, I played very freely this time. But I like it

So, enjoy this lovely piece. I hope you like my interpretation!
Greetings

A new video after a long time, mostly because I have been very busy with school and was away on holidays abroad. But expect more videos in the future, I got quite a few on my want-to-play-list =)

So here is Wind Crest ~ The Three Trails ~, again from FF X-2. I chose this song because I have already learnt it, so I was able to record it within a shorter timespan.

This song is something special. It has a dreamy, catching melody, truly telling its own story when you listen to it. And just when you think it really starts off, it ends the same way it began.

I - especially my hands - got a bit shaky near the end because I became a bit too caught up with my playing =) You might notice that. Moreover, YouTube made the audio/video a bit unsync =(

Enjoy!

Aerith’s Theme was the second piece I played from Final Fantasy half a year ago, right after Tifa’s Theme. I still remember how heartstricken I was when I first heard it. Simply undescribable. An unique piece.

Enjoy!

I just felt like recording it again.
Its not much different, but this one should be the better version. The mistake near the end of the first version is gone now. I’ve toned down the volume in the soft parts. Played with less pedal. Better audio apparently..at this cam angle. And more arpeggios. Geez..Im looking at the sheets that I bought and there arent that many arpeggios, but the two professional versions have 1 more, and other ppl play more so….maybe im reading it incorrectly?? wutever.

So here I present you To Zanarkand, once again.

After a very long pause here’s another video from me!
Eyes On Me, from Final Fantasy VIII Piano Collections. A heart-warming piece I enjoy playing very much.

There are subtle deviations from the original in there. This is only the second take, so I hope I made a good one

Enjoy!
