Only those who played this game in the early 90s (like me) can understand how MAGICAL the atmosphere of the game was! Thank you for your wonderful performance!
This made me think of modern video game players that don't get memorable chip tunes, mostly orchestral ambiance, or music that is already too elaborate to have that earworm power.
I was there too, traveling up the branches of the world tree, despairing through the land of mist, emerging once again at Daybreak, claiming the fabled Dragonslayer, conquering the mutated darkness. My favorite game of all time. It has not been surpassed in all these years, and likely never will.
What?!?!? You actually did Faxanadu!!! YES!!! This game was my first OG rpg grind! Because if you're not racking up 20k gold at the beginning to buy The Magic Shield and Death magic, what are you even doing? Amazingly played, sir! Faxanadu has the best music! One of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for including the sheet music, and thanks for taking me way back to when I was playing this as a little kid with my cousins, brothers, and aunt!
Aww, thank you very much for this nice comment and for attesting to the quality of this amazing game. It's true that the acquisition of the Magic Shield and the Death spell at the beginning of the game is quite tempting to bother to save the necessary money. (In reality only the Magic Shield is really useful).
Enter screen, kill 2 spikey slugs and a jumping eye, exit screen. Next, re-enter screen, kill two spikey slugs and a jumping eye, exit screen. Three irl hours later, you have a lost a portion of your irl sanity, but you have the magic shield, Death magic, the J-key and a real chance you won't be slaughtered in the next fifteen minutes!
Faxanadu holds a special place in my heart. To have stumbled upon this treasure is absolutely magical! Thanks for performing this, Gabb, and for providing sheet music ❤️
So.. you tripped and fell on a copy of Faxanadu and the cartridge got lodged in your heart? You probably should have gone to the hospital before posting your mishap on social media. 😧
A faithful and respectful arrangement! Faxanadu's soundtrack is nothing short of genius and I'm sure that anyone who took the time to understand both the game and the music on this level needn't be reminded. I'm just thankful there are others
Fantastic work! Props for showing so much respect for the game, crediting the composer, and sharing sheet music. "Don't have negative thoughts. Remember your mantra."
Thank you for doing this. I was 11 when this game came out and spent so many hours playing alone without a care in the World. The music evokes a bygone time of private playing for the sake of play that I hope people in the future may somehow get to experience again.
Quand même, si on m'avait dit, quand j'avais 9 ou 10 ans, qu'un jour des musiciens joueraient ces thèmes... Et je n'imagine même pas la tête de ces braves gens de France. Musique et France Culture.😉
This really brings me back to my childhood. While most people seem to find the most nostalgia in certain more popular games, this one has always stood out as the most impactful Nintendo game in my memory. Love this music!
Tous les thèmes sont incroyablement bien joués ce mec est un magicien ! Ce jeu était une merveille il y a 30 ans, et l'est toujours aujourd'hui. Bravo à ce pianiste, il m'a fait vibrer et évoqué tant de souvenirs.
@philippeechtebaise3587 Oh merci ! Je suis heureux si j'ai pu restituer un peu de la magie de ce jeu et de ses musiques envoûtantes. C'est vrai que la beauté de Mantra m'a profondément touché à l'époque et résonne encore en moi aujourd'hui.
Merci à toi cher Gabb, mon plaisir est d'autant plus grand en découvrant que tu es Français 😀 en tout cas si tu ne l'est pas tu as l'air de maîtriser parfaitement la langue. Merci encore pour ce medley incroyable 😉
Bro that was brilliant. Beautiful playing. I think this is the best soundtrack on the NES. I loved and still love this game and the music was one of the biggest reasons why. Those old NES composers knew what they were doing.
Can't express enough how happy I am with this, thank you so much. This was a favorite game of mine growing up and the music was one of the earliest in my life that had the power to send chills down my spine and enchant me. Just beautiful work, thanks for doing it so much respect!
Au risque de me répéter, j'apprécie beaucoup votre reprise de cette trame sonore. Elle est exceptionnellement fidèle à l'originale; tout y est, y compris les progressions d'accords jusqu'aux moindres notes dissonantes. Ceci donne tout le caractère unique à cette oeuvre méconnue. Chapeau pour les trames de la tour et du donjon final.
I just want to say that I appreciate how you brought an immense sense of appreciation for this music without adding more notes, but by using the piano pedals to bring a more organic/breathing feeling to this otherwise mechanical music. An 'analog midi' mastery is here at work that transcends the digital realm. It brings incomprehensible joy to my mind.
Absolument génial. Bravo. Vos transcriptions sont magnifiques, la mélodie de « Land of Dwarves » reste le thème de mon enfance et vous le magnifiez à la perfection. Une grande musicalité.. merci
I remember playing this with my best friend at the time. We weren't zelda fans though we had the game. Same with Dragon Quest. We were just uninterested in these RPG type games. Then we popped this sucker in. What intrigued me? The story made me feel sorry for the people and the main character. That and we didn't know how to get into the first door- in fact we didn't even recognize that there was a door! Hahahah. But as we figured that out and we proceeded..it was just so epic, foreboding and we were just committed to helping this poor man save this thirsty, struggling village! The churches were such a sanctuary too. Those continue codes were a pain but we painstakingly noted and entered it!! Fearful that we messed up! I remember how hard we worked to get/afford winged boots! I guess I can say that it was this game that made be fall in love with RPGs and action rpgs. I even revisited it during the pandemic and was motivated to tackle Zelda 2 on NES. What memories! This music takes me back! Timeless classic!
Mais quel travail ENORME! Une de mes musiques de jeux vidéos préférées! Je n'ai pas assez de mots pour vous remercier :) C'est génial, mille mercis!!!! Et en plus on a les partitions!! MERCI MERCI MERCI! Vous jouez magnifiquement!
Wow absolutely talented and perfect, love all the music but towers and mist is my favorite since i was a kid. Bring back memories watching my older brother playing this game for hours.
This game has had a special place in my heart since the time I read about it in Nintendo Power back in the 80s, and the music is no small part of that. Thank you for this wonderful labor of love!
Amo ese juego, su música es melancólica, me hizo pasar horas tan felices en mi niñez, me recuerdo con el diccionario de ingles español buscando descifrar todo a mis 8 años. He llorado con la melodía del juego cuando tu personaje muere. Me es tan lindo recordar hoy como mi imaginancion se desarrollaba con la trama... Simplemente fascinante. Gracias por este video.
I remember playing this with my late father. Listening to you play brought be back to those days. I thank you sir and your playing was spot on and a pleasure to enjoy.
holy crap it's like this game's music was made for piano! This was amazing to listen to thanks for sharing your skills!! I dunno if you'll see this but think about maybe checking out Journey to Silius. That game is known to have amazing music! Another that might translate nicely into piano is The Magic of Scheherazade. That game had me going to back it often because of it's music
Piano journey is such an apt description! I felt like I was back playing the game way way back when. This video has been such an unexpected joy for me. Thank you.
Oh thank you! I like to travel back in time and take people on a journey with me. A piano can be just as effective as a DeLorean for such a journey. :)
This is both amazing and relaxing! Excellent job recreating these tunes on piano! I'm immediately transported to childhood, where I played hours of this game.
So much about this is incredibly well done, from the arrangement, to the sequencing, to the actual piano performance, (so many crazy challenging parts you just sailed through!!), and even the little pixel art animations from the game that take you by the hand on the walk down memory lane. Faxanadu's music is close to my heart; the way it so elegantly combines baroque influences, unusual angular harmonies, and recurring rhythmical ideas, to create little masterpieces of intricate, condensed beauty. I love how true to the original score you stayed, whenever you could - every slight alteration or variation you made was always in humble service to the composition and the flow of the pieces, never imposing any foreign ideas, but simply rearranging and subtle editing, making the entire sequence work miraculously well. This piano version actually highlights how beautiful, creative, and deeply interesting Jun Chikuma's compositions truly were. You have done a great service to the remembrance of her work, and I am truly grateful to have found this video! ❤️
I'm just as grateful that you found it. Your view of my work is particularly complimentary, poetic and encouraging. I also totally share your analysis and feelings about Jun Chikuma's music and I'm delighted that you like this adaptation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your valuable comment!
Thank you Ria, it's always a pleasure to read you. I'm glad you like these compositions, they definitely deserve to be considered and I really enjoyed playing them.
C'est peut être le jeu de la NES qui m'a le plus marqué, j'y joue encore... La composition de Jun Chikuma est diaboliquement envoutante et vous lui rendez honneur de main de maitre, c'est époustouflant ! Bravo pour la performance encore une fois, c'est un vrai kiff pour les oreilles. ❤❤❤
Merci beaucoup ! Je vois que vous avez apprécié tout comme moi les jeux d'aventure en vue de profil sur la NES. The Battle of Olympus et Faxanadu possèdent tous deux des atmosphères magiques, et la musique y est pour beaucoup en effet.
Beautiful interpretation of the spundtrack! It's rare to find a classic game that sounds just as good on solo piano! I think you really captured the grandness that the OST was angling for
This is such a nostalgic adventure to listen to! The tone and power of each piece is incredibly well balanced that it is able to evoke certain emotions at times that was missing in the original works.
Wow! So very glad I got directed to this masterpiece! I watched from start to finish right away for the first of what I am sure will be many many many many times over! Thank you so much! Thank you!
@@GabbPiano It's cool to listen to ALL the tunes but of course I keep getting lured back to Mantra. There is some magic in that song and you execute it brilliantly!
@@girderzombie I admit that Mantra also has a significant place in my heart. Yes, all Castlevanias seduce me with their musical atmosphere and I would like to adapt them to the piano. The Game Boy versions, which I really like, are part of this, even if it will be in a later phase.
Memories. Love Mantra. That and the title song get frequently stuck in my head despite the years it has been since I played the game. Gotta go play it again sometime.
Again..SOOOOO AMAZING! You a legend Gabby! I love to listen when I fall asleep and imagine the journey of the game I finished when I was 12. In 1989. Beautifully nostalgic my dude. Only problem is some of the songs jam so hard I dont fall asleep 😂
Oh thank you very much, it is entirely in this spirit that I carry out my renditions. To fall asleep, you can make a playlist with only the softest tracks of the game, such as King's Castle, Cathedral, Mantra, Mist... 🌛
Ah yes, the mantra, the bitter sweet lullaby that it was bed time, and you’d best write down your password with all lowercase and uppercase correctly or all that work was for not.. 🎉 cheers mate, and bravo. 👏🏻 thank you for relighting an old adventure never forgotten, but less known and travelled by the simple. 😈
Bravo, sir. This is a fantastic arrangement of this game's music. It was one of the first games I ever had on my NES, and I never expected to see a faithful piano arrangement of the game. Heck, I'm not even fond of piano, but this genuinely sounds great. In particular, your arrangement of Mist was genuinely haunting.
Only those who played this game in the early 90s (like me) can understand how MAGICAL the atmosphere of the game was! Thank you for your wonderful performance!
I am one of them. 😉 Thank you for this precious listening.
This made me think of modern video game players that don't get memorable chip tunes, mostly orchestral ambiance, or music that is already too elaborate to have that earworm power.
I'm also one of them! This was a favorite of mine growing up. The music and the world in the tree always enchanted me. Vastly underrated game
I was there too, traveling up the branches of the world tree, despairing through the land of mist, emerging once again at Daybreak, claiming the fabled Dragonslayer, conquering the mutated darkness. My favorite game of all time. It has not been surpassed in all these years, and likely never will.
I was with it in the 80s
Mantra is my favorite song.
Sumamente especial
from Japan. Thank you very much for your wonderful performance. It made me feel nostalgic as I remembered my childhood.
What?!?!? You actually did Faxanadu!!! YES!!! This game was my first OG rpg grind!

@@littleitaly83 Sad thing is: The spikey slug give only bread...no coins
This is my first RPG grind too. I loved this game. Amazing music
One of my favorite NES games. Great work!
Mr. Riggs! Love your channel! Also, love Faxanadu!
I knew Riggs would like this. My comment is only 2 years late.
Faxanadu holds a special place in my heart. To have stumbled upon this treasure is absolutely magical! Thanks for performing this, Gabb, and for providing sheet music ❤️
So.. you tripped and fell on a copy of Faxanadu and the cartridge got lodged in your heart? You probably should have gone to the hospital before posting your mishap on social media. 😧
A faithful and respectful arrangement! Faxanadu's soundtrack is nothing short of genius and I'm sure that anyone who took the time to understand both the game and the music on this level needn't be reminded. I'm just thankful there are others
"Nothing short of genius" is even more accurate when one considers that this awesome music was produced on the NES sound card👍
Fantastic work! Props for showing so much respect for the game, crediting the composer, and sharing sheet music. "Don't have negative thoughts. Remember your mantra."
Melting ,... I played it in 89?? , still almost everyday think of that game
Amazing achievement to honor this very distinct soundtrack by recording every piece! There is nothing quite like it as far as NES music is concerned.
This is honestly one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming. Thank you for doing it justice.
really feels like the original OST was composed on piano how this sounds. mist came out amazing on piano.
Very faithful perfomance. Greatly apriciated.
AMAZING
Faxanadu was THE GAME of my childhood 🙌
Oh man, you smashed it!!!! Perfect!!!! The best Fax piano version ever!!!! Congrats!
Mist was one of my favorites in the game and you made it sound amazing. Thank you
Thank you for doing this. I was 11 when this game came out and spent so many hours playing alone without a care in the World. The music evokes a bygone time of private playing for the sake of play that I hope people in the future may somehow get to experience again.
You sir, are extremely talented and your arrangement/interpretation is nothing less than genius.
That's so kind of you, thank you !!
Quand même, si on m'avait dit, quand j'avais 9 ou 10 ans, qu'un jour des musiciens joueraient ces thèmes... Et je n'imagine même pas la tête de ces braves gens de France. Musique et France Culture.😉
N'est-ce pas normal, pour un musicien, de vouloir interpréter de la belle musique ? :)
Gen Z: Korean pop music
Gen X: Japanese composers - whether you knew it or not
This is incredible. Thanks for reinterpreting a crucial part of my childhood.
This really brings me back to my childhood. While most people seem to find the most nostalgia in certain more popular games, this one has always stood out as the most impactful Nintendo game in my memory. Love this music!
My man I just want you to know that I am still here listening! Thank you for this gift to the world! You didn't have to, but you did! Thanks!
Thank you for this faithful listening which warms my heart.
Virtuosité dans towers et grande sensibilité dans Mantra: c'est magnifique

Nous avons maintenant l'opus complet. Un travail très impressionnant! Félicitations, Maestro!!!
Un grand merci, Song Writer !
Tout s'enchaine naturellement !! Un vrai bonheur à écouter encore et encore !!
Merci Gabb !!!
Tomorrow makes 3 years since the upload. I have a 7 string guitar that wishes I had time to learn all these notes. I remember the game very well.
So I highly encourage you to try playing some of his themes on guitar. Nothing but happiness in perspective. ;)
@@GabbPiano 👍👍👍
שלום
Daggers and wingboots, mantras and monsters await you. What a marvelous journey!
Can't express enough how happy I am with this, thank you so much. This was a favorite game of mine growing up and the music was one of the earliest in my life that had the power to send chills down my spine and enchant me. Just beautiful work, thanks for doing it so much respect!
I'm so glad you like this rendition, that comes from my young gamer heart. Thanks a lot!
Thanks man. This music is a God sent miracle. Peace dude.
Seriously got goosebumps listening to this! One of my favorite games and game soundtracks of all time, so beautifully expressed ❤️

I felt like journeying to the Faxanadu dimension, and so the wormhole appears.. by the deft hands of Gabb.
🤟 🎹 🎶 👏 again..Bravo
What a nice comparison! Thanks!
I've been playing this game for several decades now and always loved the music. I'm glad I stumbled upon this rendition.
Very unique music in this game. I always thought the mist level's music was so haunting and isolating.
True! Jun Chikuma knew how to create quite an atmosphere.
Amazing. I was given Faxanadu as a birthday gift when I was 8 or 9 years old
Great performance!
Great arrangements and execution! If there’s one NES game that deserves a modern remake with even more world building and action, it’s Faxanadu.
I so agree!
I remember playing this with my late father. Listening to you play brought be back to those days. I thank you sir and your playing was spot on and a pleasure to enjoy.

This is an interesting point of view.

😯 Amazing! You even nailed the crazy boss music at 9:17

These are very different songs, I added this transition so that the contrast wouldn't unsettle the listener too much. I'm glad you like it. :)

Again..SOOOOO AMAZING!
