Dayvan Cowboy - Piano Cover (Boards of Canada)

Some dodgy video editing, questionable sound quality - but here it is, Dayvan cowboy, with all harmonic and melodic parts arranged. This was surprisingly hard, as the key (F#) and song is mostly played on the black keys, which are of course smaller making it harder to deal with the various parts precisely. I'm sure the Sandison brothers don't have to worry about that sort of thing when they're making this music! Actually they use interesting keys quite consistently. I hope you enjoy it.
EDIT: I have done a better recording of Dayvan Cowboy, it can be found here: • Dayvan Cowboy (improve...

Berwyn's performance is better than yours.

[@witblitsfilm]

Upvote this comment if Juan Browne brought you here!

[@Astronirav]

Don't know who this person is but would love to know in what co text it was brought up!

[@avalyn5826]

this is very very underrated for how much effort it takes to learn a piece as complicated as this bro

[@berwynmusic]

Thank you

[@BIackMoonCGI]

Instead of doing the triplets, couldn't you just roll the chord like the original guitar? Not a criticism, I think what you've done is lovely, just curious how it would sound.

[@berwynmusic]

Lots of unanticipated appreciation for this video this week so I'll be recording a better quality version ASAP without the sound issues

[@witblitsfilm]

It's a beautiful version, please do!! Wish I could assist...I have all the recording equipment, mixers etc., but I suspect you are somewhere in the US vs. me in the UK!

[@berwynmusic]

Listen to the new version here: ua-cam.com/video/REiw-vw-zJ4/v-deo.html

[@phaesiq8824]

Dude I suck at piano and would kill to learn my favourite song. If you could record this in a way to better show how to play I'd be eternally grateful.
This is the best composition of Dayvan Cowboy on piano I have seen and I have sporadically been looking for a satisfactpry cover of this for years.
What a great video.

[@atn_holdings]

Hey, just wanted to say, everytime I pass by a public piano, I play an approximation of this. Thanks to you : )
it's the only tune I can really get right so far along with Olson but I'm working on a lot more!

[@blancolirio]

WOW!! You got it!!

[@witblitsfilm]

Juan brought me here and I keep returning!

[@Jojoairbus]

Sounds great! blancolirio's video sent me

[@laurent3142]

Thanks very very much.
Piano sheet IS useless, this "pianovision" show you the feel of the song.
The song IS mainly 4 chords:
F# - A - E - B
A subtle variation with a Eb (or maybe a chord inversion) and you've got it.
Free your mind, your fingers will follow.
Anyway, thanks for sharing

[@sebco7854]

Wow! This is so uplifting and beautiful. A HQ version would be very much appreciated

[@satyricon65]

Impressive. That looks like it can be difficult to play.

[@markjohnson9012]

I have watched and listened to this many times. Extraordinary. Thank you for sharing.

[@quatricise]

Oh man, I want this in better quality, this is brilliant, also will you release the sheet music perhaps? Wanna learn this so much

[@allangomes529]

Would love to see the sheet for this too.

[@berwynmusic]

Keep your eye out for sheet, it will be coming soon

[@quatricise]

@@berwynmusic awesome

[@shellypooper]

actually the low quality makes it sound bocesque somehow

[@quatricise]

@@shellypooper Yeah, but BoC are very deliberate with their sound degradation methods, while this sounds like extreme clipping due to some mic problem or something, they would have never use this in their music

[@JuneW99]

Hey man! I can't stop watching this, beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs! Do you reckon you'll ever do a re-record of this? A high quality version would be super appreciated ^^

[@berwynmusic]

Yes I am planning a re record of this, can't promise when but hopefully I will get the time soon, all the best

[@fidgetmackenzie9419]

Wow this is beautiful ❤

[@berwynmusic]

Thank you

[@Trendwatch_2016]

Totally enthralled. Respect.

[@nichelcruz7749]

[@smile-zb8ot]

[@gcbification]

Big thanks for this, and for the blancolirio channel for bringing it to my attention (@Berwyn Music -- in case you were wondering where the sudden interest came from =)
Please do record a higher quality version, love hearing you play this tune B^)

[@Skycoffeee]

Very very very good job

[@maynk7096]

Absolute Masterpiece!

[@damienkarras8447]

Stellar job. Excited about the sheets! Hope that's still something you're planning to release!

[@BobHoopClassic]

Merveilleux, j'ai eu des frissons tout le long. Merci 🙏

[@Wrtvrxgvcf55]

absolutely stunning

[@GryphonWahle]

Walking into work, jamming BoC on the headphones as one does, and finally had the thought of arranging tracks for piano, or string quartet (which is actually my wheelhouse). I am so glad that that wasn't an original thought. You killed it and absolutely nailed the arrangement dude. Bravo. I don't give a damn about the sound quality, I understand why you do and where you are coming from on that. Just get the sheet music out to the public and make more arrangements and publish more sheet music.

[@leakycheese]

Fantastic! Thank you so much, a joy to listen to :)

[@olsonbryce777]

Sounds better than the OG

[@valty3727]

this is such a calming video....i love it

[@kingsecho3351]

This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces on piano i have ever heard. I love boards of Canada. This was just too perfect 🔥. I needed to hear this tonight. Thank you sir.

I think both versions are amazing but I actually prefer this one. I think it's the reverb and the upright. Amazing work. Well done 👍
