  • Hi guys! Just experimenting with another type of content--when I was active in cosplay, it was customary social media practice amongst crafters to post progress pics and detailed notes as they were building a costume, and I LIVED for that, just seeing my peers' process in bringing a vision to life and sharing my own progress on projects as well. I'd been thinking for a while how to implement that for my own music "builds" on social media, as it's not easily digestible as photos or art, so I've decided to track my progress on this arrangement I'm working on and share it with you all in these short little phone video summaries at every section of the song, that is if it's of any interest to anyone lol. This is the first part of the intro, the genre is pop/alt rock, arranging for solo piano. At the time of this writing, I'm up to the last part of the song, so this isn't EXACTLY in real time but nobody wants to see me throw myself at Musescore and my piano for 60+ hours haha so these are highly condensed logs on how the arrangement is coming together. Hopefully I can get the whole thing finished, learned, practiced and recorded in the next few weeks! I'll be posting these progress vids every 2-3 days or so.
    Playlist of all the sections of the song: • Anatomy of a Piano Arr...

    Oooooh, I also really enjoy the insight from seeing how stuff is made. This was cool!
    Usually when I skip octaves on guitar it's because I've run out of frets or don't want to compromise a chord voicing somewhere else on the fretboard, but seeing it done purely for expressive purposes is so neat.

    I love this idea so much!!! Might I suggest adding captions for when you are speaking, bc it’s a bit softer and harder to make out when recorded this way? I love this format though!

    I know next to nothing about playing piano and even less about music theory or anything like that so my opinion doesn't really hold any weight in this conversation. That being said, THIS ARRANGEMENT IS SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED AND PLAYED I HOPE TO ABLE TO HEAR THE FULL VERSION SOON!
