King of Fools - Poets of the Fall COVER (Eric Gleden)
My friends, here's a new piano cover on a wonderful and deeply reflexive masterpiece from northern magicians called Poets of the Fall.
I heard this song back in 2007 when I discovered that amazing band and it has been one of my favorites ever since.
It was an era when I mostly listened to various genres of metal and classical music, so their relaxed sound became some sort of a fresh wind in my playlist, haha.
I guess, anyone who've heard them once was blown away with velvet colors in Marko Saaresto's voice and the whole band's filigree sence of music.
Want to note that the guys are very supportive as well, since they gave me valuable recos on some gear.
Actually, I thought this song would be pretty easy to sing since it is in my natural range. Untill I started recording it.
The amount of microtimings, sudden syncopation and nuances was just insane. So I quickly refused my idea of singing it and playing the piano simultaneously. My piano skills are not there yeat :)
AND, I'm happy to say that now you can actually see me performing instead of watching a piercing gaze on a photo as it was with the previous cover.
So officially, it's my first video experience ever.
I was stupid enough not to record the text you're reading right now, though. But next time we'll definitely have a chat.
Enjoy the beauty of a sweet decadence brought us by great Finnish fellas poetsofthefall.com

Walking In The Air PIANO VOCAL COVER (Eric Gleden)
Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому
One of my favorite Christmas and New Year songs written by Howard Blake haunted me so much these days that I just had to step aside from working on my next video and record it for you. I love Nightwish cover very much, but here I decided to make the arrangement closer to the original verison. Aled Jones' voice is totally unrepeatable, though :) It was a great pleasure to play it and I can only ...
The Witcher 3 Priscilla's song MALE COVER (Eric Gleden)
Переглядів 203 тис.3 роки тому
Do you still hold your breath the same way you did when you first heard Priscilla's song intro? The Wolven Storm was the first piece of music I heard from the Witcher series. I immideately fell in love with this beautiful ballad, its warm and bittersweet mood. I played it over and over again even before I first tried the game itself. One autumn evening I thought of how thrilling would it be to ...

      @@theknowingeye5998 that’s pretty hard to tell 🤔 I think, in my own material I rely more on literature, nature and architecture, rather than certain musicians, when it comes to inspiration. I love northern nature, nocturnal landscapes, art nouveau, gothic and Victorian architecture and classical literature. I guess, “Romanticism” is the closest artistic movement in a combination of genres. But that’s an interesting idea, probably I should elaborate a bit on this in my next videos

    Your voice is really good, well suited for this song. But you lack experience, song feeled like a copied of other singers technique. That is ok but the feeling was not transferred in the learning process. This is a song that should send shivers down the spine, make the listener to feel sad. I got only a good voice but no emotion from this video. You have a bright future ahead of you. Keep on practising and specially the emotion aspect of your singing

      I really appreciate you took time to share your personal opinion, which you think might be useful for my growth, even though you didn’t like the song. Thank you. Looking back, I can see some things I could have done different technically, but not emotionally. This is quite a special piece for me and during the recording I had shivers size of an elephant. But it doesn’t discard your kind comment, it’s a good thing, actually. It makes very obvious that even when there are thousands who like you, there would be some who just resonate on different frequencies. And that’s totally fine. I guess, it makes the beauty and complexity of our life :) Cheers, mate 🙌🏻
