Rex Duodecim Angelus from Homestuck, SAO at KatsuCon 2014

SAO is composed of volunteer musicians of all ages and backgrounds. They met for the first time Friday of KatsuCon. After six hours of rehearsal in the mornings of KatsuCon they performed Sunday.
Thank you all so much for playing with SAO!!

We may be trash, but we're trash with talent

[@royalcomputer3780]

Indeed

[@obliviansvoid6844]

They skipped Sollux and Aradia, and Gamzes :o(

[@Anervaria]

since they had only six hours to prepare, they did extremely impressively

[@dasytaylor]

i'm impressed that one of them plays the violin while wearing plush paws

[@sleepyrepatillo1834]

I half expected the so g to 'end', then they let the audience clap a bit, then only eight of the insturments come in like '8nt over yet' and then the rest join in for the last part shown in the video.

[@BertieMAhern]

that would've been cool

[@ThatOneGuy0006]

Only 6 hours!? Damn!

[@wotan.mp44]

FOUR HOURS.

[@Anervaria]

Holy shit four hours

[@wotan.mp44]

CreatorofJanespeak I dunno I was making a joke.

[@BioShmid]

Around the Equius/Nepeta part it starts sounding very....Ghibli. Even more so during the Kanaya part.

[@feltricfence7871]

Jegus, how do you even make something like this?! This is pure perfection. No other words to describe it. It's giving me chills all over because I love it.

[@corndecorn876]

*sits down and stares at the title and then stares back at name* holy fuck

[@Spinneret69]

if only they had a harpsichord.

[@Spinneret69]

and otherwise, this is so cool!

[@creemo5375]

+hailey ellis No, they needed a drum-set.

[@Spinneret69]

ChaosPhantom yeah, that too.

[@ghostpenguin5283]

That one guy playing violin with gloves 😄

[@astafursat8264]

This is just incredible. And additionaly, they are all in costumes!!!

[@aster6804]

No wonder I found Rex Duodecim Angelus in the reccomendations

[@bethelg1077]

:33 *stares in wonder* woah...this is awesome...and the costumes....i just wish that there was a way to get gamzee's part in there...and i didn't hear aradia's or sollux's either......
i want to write sheet music for this...im going to go work on that!

[@theinsanenightmare7858]

HoOoOoOoOoOoOoNk :oO

[@goldengear1000]

This is really good for only having six hours to prepare. Great work!

[@katkat2431]

They forgot Aradia, Sollux and Gamzee :/ but still was amazing ;)

[@Kaipamdl]

The sad part about these orchestrated versions, is that none of them do the Gamzee part right.

[@Anervaria]

since they had only six hours to prepare, they did extremely impressively

[@NoName-fd6bc]

What would've been hilarious if a bunch of them took out horns and started honking them during Gamzee's part.

[@hiroaritillwhen4581]

People said that RDA is remix of Tetris theme (Korobeiniki). And this arrange really reminds me of russian folk songs.

[@Stabrazermeme]

This world cares about homestuck yes

[@josuenaimzaratecordero4533]

Problems:
Aradia+Sollux and Gamzee's themes are missing
Harpsichord's missing for nepeta's part
Nepeta+Equius part sounds a little weird.
Why all of this is missing / Sounds weird? *_L I M I T A T I O N S_*
Please understand.

[@poopybutt1913]

Nepora Faassenii I agree

[@samalien1768]

Nepora Faseni as Anervaria mentioned, they only had six hours of rehearsal. it's difficult to find someone who knows how to play such an obscure instrument such as a harpsichord. i agree that the nepeta/equius portion sounds a bit strange, since nepeta's line is less energetic and playful

[@adctv1]

I was there- it was excellent!

[@andykio]

Totally incredible, no words to say

[@salem4219]

I am adoring the flutes in this (and the whole thing all together of course)

[@sorokinari]

This is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maneyd.6631]

I spotted Armin arlet playing violin and im in the two fandoms so i freaked out great job guys

[@WolflikeDeathScyth]

The lights are Bros glasses

[@butterflytaster5553]

Bard_Of_Hearts
Oh my God

[@thehuymaster8043]

im not the only one who thought, wait what sword art online

[@arthappyneko]

Awesome job

[@lenkaisen7767]

In personal this song isn't better of the original, but is good

[@BertieMAhern]

only problem I foundwas that the violins need to be a bit more pronounced

[@stratusgio]

It's understandable Why but i always miss the chainsaw solo,

[@Oaklings]

oh my god this is so cool

[@warxtron]

I Loved it! But my favorite part was Sollux part :'v

[@celty228]

Ya know it's gonna have you laughing when there's furries and DiAmOnD MiNeRs playing a masterpiece pretty well.

[@heheheiamasupahstarchimera631]

Awesome!
If only they had multiple horns at different pitches for the Gamzee part.

[@Bl_ss_m]

sheet music?

[@catthenerd7370]

When I saw SAO I immediately thought “SWORD ART ONLINE HELL YES!” I watched then I went “HELL YES!” Because it’s good.

[@trashrat8365]

Bullshit, they should’ve had someone with an electric guitar and a bike-horn suit come out at the sollux/aradia/gamzee queue

[@Someone-ish]

why is Steve playing a flute?

[@celestialjunipers6829]

Wow seriously?

[@sagascius2]

bad lol

[@vibbyclips]

terrible :o(
