Shadow of the Colossus ~ A Despair-Filled Farewell ~ Solo Piano
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2022
- Today is a good day because it is an uploading day, and Shadow of the Colossus is back for one night only, in order to test-drive my fancy new Steinway VSTi.
I love the sound of it, although the better my virtual instruments get, the uncannier the disconnect between what is heard and the cheap keyboard, grainy footage and dishevelled figure seen in the video.
But it doesn't matter too much; the arrangement presenting itself well is what's important to me.
A Despair-Filled Farewell is another of the battle themes from Shadow of the Colossus, which I cut from my plans for my original concert video because too much fight music would have unbalanced the collection.
Its absence seemed to be felt at times in the comments section, however, and after some time I found myself agreeing with you, so here we are. - Ігри
This is the perfect cover, it perfectly reflects the mood of the original soundtrack. (That is the masterpiece basically.) We need more Shadow of the Colossus covers from You!
This track is so intense, you can see it in the way he plays it.
An insane performance, thank you very much for sharing it with us poor mortal.
Can we get the music sheet I’d pay for it
This is incredible, you captured the song essence 100%. You are a hidden gem.
My favorite song from this game
Dude you did not have to go this hard but I'm so glad you did
Bro you killed it. amazing
I audibly gasped so loud when I saw this show up in my sub feed! I'm SO glad you decided to record this song, even if it was originally cut from your concert piece! Absolutely phenomenal work as always!
This should have so much more views, looks difficult to play, you did such an amazing job bringing that piece of epic orchestral music to the piano/keyboard!
I just watched an entire orchestra emanate from a single keyboard. Spectacular!
Hands down the best arrangment of a SOTC OST I've heard. I don't know what's better if the sheets or the execution.
I don't want to be a bother but if you have the sheets lying around, it would make my year to have them in my possesion, I wouldn't mind paying for them ofc.
Alright - it might be worth your time to check out my longer SotC video (if you search by popularity), and from there I think my Patreon is linked.
Amazing 😮
I was blown away by the intensity and soul of your performance and technical perfection 🙏🏻.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Even as a pianist I'm not a huge fan of reductions because they often feel hollow or cheesy compared to the originals. But this arrangement was accurate, seemed idiomatic, and was performed very well. The voicing was great, and you took advantage of the piano's strengths to keep things interesting (1:39). Plus I like how you took some liberties that didn't diverge too much from the spirit of the original. Overall, so good it made me wonder if Otani doesn't write piano-first. Thanks for sharing your work!
Making it idiomatic is the other pillar of arranging, the first being getting the right notes!
I think he does write piano-first. There was an interview for when he did the Diablo soundtrack up on UA-cam (for some reason it's been removed, unfortunately) and he said he writes his pieces very fast, and then there was a shot of him composing for piano in a very unusual way (he was flying through the entire piano, probably trying to mimic an orchestra)
@@amadeusk525 Thanks for the info! would be cool to watch that, too bad they took it down.
@@izzyjamm4 I could only find the trailer to the featurette but not the featurette itself: ua-cam.com/video/p_sGMHF9Ats/v-deo.html. You can see a glimpse of what I'm talking about there (I embedded the timestamp in the link). I don't think we'll ever be able to purchase the dvd set, it seems like it was a Japanese release and it's from 2008 or something lol so I went looking for it on ThePirateBay and I found it, but there were no seeders so it's not downloadable :( a real shame
You could play anything on any type keyboard instrument and make it sound fantastic. I remember watching your original concert video and was blown away by it 9 years ago. To me your performance and interpretation of shadow of the colossus pieces are the definitive ones.
Slowpianist upload days are indeed good days! I hope you're doing great, so much energy in your rendition and playing, take care!
Incredible! I'm speechless
GOATED THEME
The legend returns
Wish i could hear it on streaming music platform, they don't have the original or good renditions... and this one is the best one by far!
The GOAT for SOTC piano ost
Stunning cover! You absolutely killed it!
commenting once again just to say that I still deeply appreciate this.
Bro... i got goosebumps from this
Your playing style just brings this to life in such a unique way. Thank you!
amazing truly amazing
Incredible! I can definitely understand why you cut it from your original medley, but I'm glad it got its time to shine now. Thanks for sharing!
woah..... i really wish I could play this someday. you're so great
Impressive, to this day i still listen to your sotc medley when i want to chill a bit. This is my favorite track from the game and your arrangement of this track is definitely the best i've listened to. I Also love the way you play "Prayer". i hope one day i can hear your version of the ff7 soundtrack if that interests you
Thank you very much for your effort.
The execution on this piece is perfect.

Man, thank you for this video, I was always trying to find the piano version of this soundtrack but never found a good one. I saw your SotC concert and you did a great job, so I expected this video would be the same. I wasn''t wrong.

Counterattack
Liberated guardians
The farthest Land
No plans to at the moment. I've got music from another game lined up (still practising and recording it), and after that I'm going to need to focus on a 'real life' arranging project for a while.
Epic!!!
Great
simplemente epico!!!!
muito bom !!! insano
Dude, you have an excellent taste in video game music! Hahaha
Holy moly!
It's a Yamaha P-series, one of the old ones, but that's not what you're hearing.
The midi signal is going into my computer, where it's played back by a good professional piano VSTi - the Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Steinway D.
Perfeito🍷😎🎉
Where can i get the sheet music?
do you think youll ever make a cover for counterattack?
Yes; if you have notifications turned on, there will be an announcement in a number of months. Working on a big project.
@@TheSlowPianist Thank you so much! Looking forward to it.
This is too good.
You are getting way too little attention.
i missed this sound 1:07 here 1:20, because i think it happens twitch in the actual soundtrack
Yes, it probably happens more than once but with each different texture I have to decide what to keep and what to let go 😢
Hello! May i buy your oblivion soundtrack sheet music? And how much does it costs?
Hello. I can be found on Patreon.
Do you post on other social media???
