@@smonkk8556 Yes but it's not all one take, it's multiple layers of piano through different instruments or just different sections of piano. Creating electronic music almost always involves literal piano playing, but there's a difference between one person playing a full song with two hands, and one person playing numerous sections separately and combining them via electronic software
@@smonkk8556 ....No??? no, it's not???? That's not how that works at all. What are you smoking? The song is designed with so many instruments and different sections that to play Toby Fox's exact version, it would take probably 2 pianists at LEAST, maybe even 3. You can restructure a more complicated song into less complicated sheet music for 2 hands which is what this person did. Unless youre being deliberately stupid to say that only certain melodies were designed to be played by hand individually, which is obviously true, but the original commenter was obviously talking about the song as a whole piece, not individual parts of the song by themselves. Also, please don't say "composersplaining" ever again lol that was the cringiest thing I've read in weeks and I'm a proponent of cringe culture being dead.
@@CalamitousChivalry congratulations youve figured out that arrangements written for performance by multiple musicians (or rather one musician multiple times) can be simplified down to solos. would you like a medal for it? my main issue is basically with this weird culture of psuedofetishism with a totally achievable, if high skill level. this isnt some weird case of a CRAZY song being written that could NEVER be played by human hands and then some LEGEND just goes and does it. its someone who's pretty good at piano transcribing a piece down to a fast piano solo. its cool and skilled but i hate when people treat it like some ungodly achievement because it removes the act from the realm of just someone practicing and working hard to get good at something into being some wacky gift from the heavens. it devalues their commitment and turns it into something for someone to gawk at and never think about as an actual thing a regular-ass human taught themself to do the mere fact that it was individually written in with piano per segment would inherently make it playable by human hands as a solo piece, at most requiring some truncating and some parts being left to imagination / flubbed (as is pretty common)
BECAUSE YOU SO GRACIOUSLY POSTED SHEET MUSIC WITH THE VIDEO, I WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO LEARN THIS, WHICH WILL PROBABLY TAKE MULTIPLE WEEKS AND MAYBE EVEN MONTS OF MY TIME.
Pleasse with-hold any... ssnide commentss, but... may I have the privilege to be reminded where the ssheet mussic iss? I ssimply musst find thiss, for I am a great fan of the piano... I will die a little if I do not find it...
At this point in Homestuck, which I only recently reached, I was like "Oh...Oh NO! Oh crap! So much crap! All of it! All of the crap!" cause of what was going down! Nothing much had happened in Chapter 5 at this point. Really cool that you can play this on Piano!
@KibasLilAngel The sheet music (which I also wrote) is how I now want the song to sound, several months after I recorded this video. Some little parts have changed like the bass octaves, and although I didn't put it in the sheet music for the sake of sticking close to the original piece, there is now accompaniment to the koto solo.
@Ilovemariofan Done, check the description. I mean, so many people have been asking for this, and today I just FELT like it. Should be completed in a few days. And with my other comment about megalovania - things came up, I just didn't have time.. but no kidding this time, it'll be recorded very soon.
I named the bits of this song. 00:00 - 00:15 "Glistening Cascade" 00:15 - 00:47 "Chaos Rush" 00:47 - 1:11 "Loco in the Koto" 1:11 - 1:41 "Hold the Line" 1:41 - 2:05 "Fall from Space" 2:05 - 2:18 "Get Back Up" 2:18 - 3:00 "Chaos Rush Aggression" 3:00 - 3:29 "To All Beginnings, an End" 3:29 - End "And to All Ends, a Beginning"
This is my absolute favorite song from Homestuck so far. I've listened to your cover of it three times, back to back just now. Thank you so much for sharing both your music and your sheet music. (I can't play it, but I do appreciate you putting it up for everyone else.)
I've been learning a very similar piano version of this for two weeks now, and every time I watch this video (to take a peek at the fingering), I just get stuck here, because the cover is just too damn good :P
Oh god I tried to find notes sheet for this song ever since the flash came! I even tried to make my own sheet, but it was wrong in a lot of aspects (Even tough I have Absolute pitch!) So THANK YOU! This may not be the most accurate to the original, but it is GOOD ENOUGH TO ME. Thank you. Seriously, I know how hard you have worked on it.
I'm so happy I get email notifications from your channel, Saw this the minute it came online. I gotta say, its amazing. I'm trying to tab this song out for guitar, I've got up to 0:39 before shit gets hard :P
I recognized the part where the shit hit the fan, in [S] Jade: Enter. O_O God there are so many fabulous pianists in the Homestuck fandom someone help me hold my feelings i have too many
@IMMAPIGMASK111 Plenty of people have suggested it, so I've actually been working on it - it's a lot more playable than I first thought. So yeah, expect that soon (hopefully)
on the single note at the endish, where jade falls through the snow, it was two notes instead of the one, and I bet the dude playing was like. DAMMIT. xD AWESOME job!
@KibasLilAngel Bro, I hear you. I just printed this music out today and I've only been able to work through the first page in four hours....... it's probably going to take about eight times that to finish the second page as well XD and then all the others of course. I am impressed with anyone who can play this song half as well as this guy... KUDOS PIANO GUY!!
I rarely like videos, mostly because I use my like option as a "watch later" button.
I tried to like this video twice.
MOG is this Aradia Kyuubei :DD
AthenasAnomaly Right you are, dear Watson.
This music was created electronically, so it was literally not meant for human hands.
toby fox plays most of his music in through piano...
@@smonkk8556 Yes but it's not all one take, it's multiple layers of piano through different instruments or just different sections of piano. Creating electronic music almost always involves literal piano playing, but there's a difference between one person playing a full song with two hands, and one person playing numerous sections separately and combining them via electronic software
@@CalamitousChivalry cool thanks for composersplaining to me but its still designed for human hands or it couldnt be played in in the first place

The Atomic Bonsai bit was epic!
@MakinDharma1 Don't forget that totally insane solo from 1:50 - 2:30 that would break both my hands instantly
how did i not realize the last part was an unbreakable union
and the first part
The transition into the Alternia bit sounded even better than in the song itself. Beautiful stuff.
This is it.
The video that got me into Homestuck.
Thanks, man.

why are you thanking them lmfao
I got a bit teary-eyed at that end bit

This gives me chills, man. Utter chills.
tHIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED BY HUMAN HANDS, CONGRATS DUDE,
Is the part that begins at 1:12 a motif from another song or is it native to this song?
***** I think it's native.
it is actually part of the same song, surprisingly
+MorrisTheHorris THE LORD HAS INFORMED US THAT IT ORIGINATES FROM THE THEME "COURSER"
It continues from "Descend" to mirror the fact that [S] Jade: Wake Up picks up from the end of [S] Descend.
+MorrisTheHorris And the last part is from carefree action.
Best rendition of a homestuck song on piano.
Hands down.
I'm absolutely in love from 0:18 to 0:38.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING A SHEET MUSIC LINK. I HAVE WANTED TO LEARN TO PLAY THIS ON THE PIANO SINCE FIRST HEARING IT.
I didn't think this song could possibly be converted into a piano piece of any quality.
THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG.
You sir, have earned a sub.
I've been learning a very similar piano version of this for two weeks now, and every time I watch this video (to take a peek at the fingering), I just get stuck here, because the cover is just too damn good :P

You definitely have magic hands.

All I can say is... This is awesome and you are awesome for doing this.

You are the badass. It's you.
In all seriousness though, I absolutely adore this. Amazingly well done!
God damn, you do this song 10x better than I ever could. Your effort shows! Awesome playing~~
I recognized the part where the shit hit the fan, in [S] Jade: Enter. O_O
God there are so many fabulous pianists in the Homestuck fandom
someone help me hold my feelings
i have too many
This makes me very happy.
The part you came to 2:08 (Where the trolls shows up in the animation, if I remember it right) , I started to cry OnO
Awesome work!

Manly tears were shed.
The first part is spot on perfect
Excuse me while I go recover from the amazingness of this... Keep it up! You are an amazing pianist and keep on pushing your skills!
He has all the skill, ALL OF IT
You win. Forever. The part around 1:00 was a bit WHAT, but it got better!
