Another hit from the man himself, I always love his renditions. May be a bygone era at this point, sadly, but he’s got a hell of a legacy in his fanbase.
Excellent advice, thanks. One of my favourite games of all time. The best part is his hands move faster but you would still believe he was playing but the guy cleaning in the background not so much!
here's a thought-provoking question(at least to me anyway) : what's the difference between NOISE and MUSIC? how come clapping your hands or snapping your fingers counts as noise, not music?
He has perfect pitch and has transcribed recordings for people (for example, he transcribed some Zez Confrey recordings for a new book of Zez Confrey music published earlier this year). These rags from game soundtracks, though, are things he's never heard before usually. This tune he had heard before and played once before, in its original key of A. In this video he is seeing the score in B-flat for the first time.
@@PassTheSnails Not sure if I saved the video anywhere, but probably on an archival CD somewhere around here. As mentioned, it wasn't worth posting as it was a bit of wreck.
+TheSuperSonicFan112 But that's just it... This is jazz piano music of a 1920s style, at home in Tin Pan Alley of New York City. It's not "Western" by any stretch of the imagination. It's not even "faux western saloon" ragtime like Hollywood would use (which is completely anachronistic and geographically wrong in and of itself, but that's another topic).
Hmm.. that actually sounds like a great idea. Many people aren't aware Conker's got 3 short promo toonz in Flash format, I wish there were more of them.
0:14 Skinner with his crazy explanations, Superintendent's gonna need his medication, when he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations, there'll be trouble in town tonight!
I really love this song. Especially how Beanland made so many variations of it and with the smooth transitions between them. Was a pleasure to listen to this, I think it suits Tom well, even though I think this song needs more instruments to be played (with all the different solo's)
I just spent all morning learning a simpler intro to this. And here goes the mad lad just obliterating it sight reading it. I shed a tear knowing I'll never be as good, and then another one of how good this is.
Yes, and there still are today. That doesn't mean this music would be at home there. This music would be at home in a New York City or Chicago jazz club in the '20s.
I am sure you would have a market if you did some proper recordings with Tom for an album of game music on Bandcamp or something, plenty of other people do it!
Ballads, comedy songs, folk songs, the latest opera hits (every old west town had an opera house; in those days, the opera was entertainment for the masses, like going to the movies today)...
Delfino plaza from Super Mario Sunshine is also another great tune I would love to hear. That being said Tom is absolutely wonderful. I also have to thank you Mr. Keeper1st for scoring all these video game songs. Your talent in scoring alot of these old 8 bit and simplified melodies is amazing. Thank you for doing this and sharing wonderful music and Tom's talent to the rest of us. I hope to someday make it out there to hear Tom play in person. Or at least if he comes to perform near Chicago
"...get some bandmates to join him?". YES I hope the Rasberry Jam Band play it! You should see to it! Can't wait for spiral mountain as you mentioned that in another comment :-). Thanks Keeper for this one.
We have a ragtime meeting there every odd month except November (though I can't attend when it's snowing in the Sierra Nevada), and a three-day long ragtime festival at multiple venues throughout old town Sutter Creek every August. The guy you see at the bottom left at the start of the video is, in fact, a UA-camr, TheMisterLaster, who saw the address in my videos and decided to come witness Tom play in person. He even gave Tom a tune from Mario Party to play. I'll post video of that soon.
A friend of mine has him as a friend on Facebook and tagged him on a link to an earlier video of this arrangement playing on sutterchip's PianoDisc player piano. We exchanged words in the comments of that post.
Hmm. Not Tom's best Rendition of a tune you've given him to play, but understandable if he's tried it before in proper Key and now trying it in a different Key. I still enjoyed it though, been hoping something from Conker would show up here soon. I hope he takes it on to play with the band aswell- I think it'd be very interesting and good to hear it played in a full Rag version. Keep the good stuff coming Ron & Tom. Always a Highlight of my day when your videos show up in my subscription box.
Keeper1st No thank you, I've been listening to Tom for about a month now. I never really thought about ragtime before now, I always thought it was cool and all, but I'm obsessed now. Tom is now one of my favourite celebrities haha.
Keeper1st Seems I decided to come listen to this tune again and I see my comment from 8 months back (The things you do when you should be studying haha). Anyway, can't believe that comment was 8 months ago, still coming back to listen to Tone Briar. Get around to scoring Spiral Mountain yet? =P
Closest he'll get to Chicago is Sedalia, Missouri, in June, for the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival. It's a very rare appearance by Tom at that festival.
Uh, no. The vast majority of the scores on those sites are like looking at paragraphs full of misspellings, weird grammar and incorrect punctuation. You can decipher what's there, but they're not really readable. I have used scores from those sites as a basis for making a properly written score, but everything I've found on them is unusable for sightreading -- wrong time/key signatures, wrong accidentals, too many ledger lines, incorrectly notated swing, incorrectly notated syncopation, etc.
This could have easily been the western world theme for twelve tales conker 64! Or just a remix of windy and Co for another sub area like a bar or something! Great job with this performance!
There's a tune in the new Donkey Kong Country game on Wii U that sounds similar in style to this one called "Canopy Chaos." It happens to be composed by the same guy that wrote the original Donkey Kong Country music on SNES back when Rare (the same guys that made Conker's Bad Fur Day). Although not the same composer, David Wise and Robin Beanland did collaborate on the original DKC soundtrack. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - Canopy Chaos - Music I heard it when playing the game, I thought it sounded like something Tom would have fun with.
I love this man and his piano prowers... =| Next chance you get, if you haven't done this already, get him to have a go at the Banjo and Kazooie theme song, if you please. =3
would a little electronic keyboard potentially help with his recovery? get him a casio or yamaha that he can enjoy messing about with in his room, perhaps?
True, some obvious mistakes in Mario Bros Underwater-Virtuoso sheet music and some others. Not sure if 'u' Transcribed Mario Land 2 Athletic. I downloaded one from u and it is spot on with a beautiful optional ending like Tom wod do
I will need to transcribe it first. The Spiral Mountain theme is probably going to be done first, someday. I have a backlog of other things I want to show up. Only get a chance to give him two or three every few months.
This is from an unfinished level in the BETA that never got made due to time constraints at the time. Its true. Im writing a creepypasta about it right now. That makes it cannon. Tom is in my video game playing this from a secret room I glitched into. I'm pretty sure its from the unfinished prototype of the level I mentioned earlier. I snapped my fingers and shook my head to the beat like Lenny in the Simpsons episode where the plant forms a union and goes on strike using the power of song. I never knew until I found myself, back in my room, covered in old N64 cartridge dust that was oddly similar to the dust that resides in the very same cartridge that I was playing Conker's Bad Fur Day on !! I rubbed my eyes and tried to convince myself that I must have temporarily passed out because of the odd circumstance; however, as I took my hands away from my eye sockets, I had to suspend my disbelief. There was Tom standing by my bedroom door, slowly fading away like a movie CG effect. As the virtuoso disappeared, right before my eyes, I could swear I heard him mutter, "Thank you so much for to listening to my song!" I sat in silence for a while, thunking about what I had just witnessed..... and then I went to bed. When I checked my game the next morning, I couldn't replicate the glitch as hard as I tried (and I did too; FOR HOURS AND HOURS TO NO AVAIL!). Finally, I shed a single tear, and mutter orders to myself as attempt to stifle my rapidly impending tears, "Don't cry because it's over; weep because it happened."
Ha fantastic, a true UA-cam spectator.... Have a question- Why do u transcribe these, u can easily download one on the many many video game sheet music sites.. Most are as good as ur transcriptions.. Actually stumbled across a professional version of Nyan cat tune downloadable thru a youtuber, entitled 'Nyan Cat Advanced Piano Sheet music', which cod of suited Tom more
This may be a dumb question, but you say in the description "in A, the trumpet and clarinet playing the melody would have their parts written in the incredibly difficult key of B, whereas for B-flat their parts would be in simple C" why is that? pardon my ignorance
They are transposing instruments, meaning the tones they produce don't match the notes written for them. This is why sometimes you'll see a clarinet called a "B-flat clarinet" and a trumpet a "B-flat trumpet". This means that when they play a "C" on their sheet music, the actual tone they produce is a B-flat. Take a look at an orchestral score and you'll notice that many different instruments' parts are written in different key signatures.
Keeper1st Why would transposing instruments be made over instruments that can play any tuning? It seems counterintuitive and unorganized even when I know c note is the same scale degree "tonic" as bb note "tonic. Also I don't understand why a song written in b flat major has instruments playing in c maj...does that mean they are having to create eb note and bb note when playing the song? Can the c instruments even playthose notes since they're in c? What makes b maj more challening than A? Simply the matter of the added 2 sharps per the scales' chords?
It's just so the notes read by the musician are kept generally within the staff, rather than having a lot of notes with ledger lines. It does seem a bit odd to do that with instruments that simply are tuned to B-flat -- a single step off -- but that's just how it's always been. So the B-flat trumpet, in order to play in the key of A, has to read a score written in the key of B -- a lot of accidentals! If the piece were tonally in B-flat, then the trumpet part would be written in C -- no accidentals -- and thus much easier to read.
Jazz began as a way of playing ragtime (originally spelled "jass"), then referred to a type of band that played ragtime, and eventually began referring to compositions written to sound like the way those bands played. The first jazz band to be recorded was The Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Here's a recording of them playing Tiger Rag in 1917: ua-cam.com/video/89fZGnAdago/v-deo.html

Conker's Western Fur Day
+TheSuperSonicFan112 Uh, not sure how jazz constitutes "Western"...
+Keeper1st I meant that this seems like it would play at a western saloon.

It sounds more like music you would hear in a 1930s speakeasy.
it does sound like a western saloon tbh
Robin Beanland saw Tom playing his music? Man, that must be super dope
This man is and always will be a LEGEND. God bless those piano playing hands!
This sounds like the music of a 20's cartoon Conker.

You know, I subscribed long ago because of game OST. I can't say I developed my taste fully yet, but I'm starting to like this ragtime style.
i´ve been waiting for this so long! thanks you guys, for filming, posting, rewritting and of course playing it!!!
Conker is still one of my favorite games of all time.
I love how all these nerdy kids keep giving him video game music and even though he's never heard it he appeases them. Haha
He does because it’s good music and a new Ragtime song he can play.
This reminds me of the Skinner and Chalmers theme from the Simpsons' 22 short stories episode.
