I'm a simple man. I see F-Zero? I click. I see a piano cover of Big Blue? I thumbs up. I see someone genuinely getting into the groove of 30 year old Nintendo tunes? I gotta leave a comment! Right on, friend! Excellent!
LOL! Well I feel special now hahah! thank you so much
@@KaraComparetto I would like(If possible) to see your version of Tomb Raider 3 adventures of Lara Croft's main theme. You have talent, Congrats!
You're right! Playing the song right is one ( incredible ) thing, but also getting into the groove is just delicious to see 😍
I read a comment summarizing my exactly same order of impulses and emotions? I thumb up :)
I grew up on Big Blue, so this is very nostalgic for me. This and Mute City.
Big Blue slowed down enough on piano could probably get played in jazz cafe setting without anyone noticing that they're listening to some 90's SNES greatness 😅
It's a surprisingly versatile tune. One of my favorite remixes of it - ua-cam.com/video/8c9vR6ZGmlI/v-deo.html
Imo, they'd never know, but in its syncopation needs to "jazzing up" if you wanted to play it as a jazz piece. In its original form it is far too rigid.
Nice observation, could totally imagine that. I'd love a cafe playing jazz remixes of classic SNES tracks.
I can imagine that too!
There is actually a whole official jazz F-zero album that came out in 1990! A Japan only release, with pretty much every track theme from the original game.
I like she leans in for the hard part.
Like we do with Video Games.
>:)
Hi-5 (>'.')^@@KaraComparetto
And used the controller to steer in the direction wen need to go like it has motion sensors inside.
She’s definitely on her last stock at 2:10. Her bench has that all-too-familiar tilt
You mean the hole song?
The UA-cam algorithm won today. This was great!
It's funny just how much subtle nuance there is in this song that's lost on you while you're blazing around the track at 800mph and trying not to die.
The number HUD says 800 MPh, the rendered animation suggests much less.
@@JPs-q1o ackchyually.jpeg
@@JPs-q1o The game is also like 30 years old, cut it some slack
@@JPs-q1o except the hud never read anything close to that. all of the vehicle stats in that game were in Km/hour, not miles. and 800 was only possible with boosts or jumps. the fastest non boosted speed was 478 Km/hour. which is significantly slower than 800 MPH
Being able to sight read this at this speed is absolutely incredible.
Yeah I'm super impressed. Some major skill right there.
@@BlandoGamingF-Zero speed
Academically trained musician reporting: Believe it or not, when you're ready, it's relatively easy. Reading is like the first thing you learn and it's _SUPER_ reinforced every time you play. There are for sure examples to the contrary, especially when dealing with weird time signatures, but yeah. Don't let it freak you out or stop you from exploring music. Small bites, practiced for a while before taking another bite. This time next year you'll be shocked how much you've learned! It comes faster than you think.
@@matthewlawton9241That was super encouraging! Thank you for sharing! Now I want to go play my guitar more…
@@PgXcTrackRunner -which game?-
The difficulty of this game had me forgetting how good the soundtrack actually was.
I know the feeling!
The soundtrack is what keeps me coming back despite being punished over and over.
The entire series is worth checking out. X is the best for me personally. X has almost top tier heavy metal music, it fits the speed. The gba ones are also great. The music in these games almost always kills it.
How does the difficulty of the game make you forget how good the soundtrack is?
@@jnnx thats what i want to know the game is hard but what difficulty are we talking here master is brutal expert is do able standard is well standard beginner is dead easy if you can already do expert
Watching Phoebe Buffay actually playing freaking F-Zero's Big Blue on a piano made me smile so hard. Thank you so much.
What if it's Ursula?
"Show me your moves!"
_Proceeds to bust out Big Blue on piano_
The melody line of this song is SO GOOD and so long and complex. So many amazing composers did fantastic work back in the 80s for these games. There was no reason for them to make 16+ bar long melodies, then play them ONCE and jump into another 32 bar phrase... It really contrasts with today's 8 bar looped melodies. Hell, 8 bars is even long for today's music.
And they did this on ancient bad synthesizers with 4 channels.
80's???
F-zero was first made in the 90's not the 80's.
@@fireheartgames Not to be picky...
"F-Zero was one of the launch games for the SNES that Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development had approximately fifteen months to develop completely. In Japan, only it and Super Mario World were initially available for launch." Since it was launched in November of 1990, it began development in the 80's.
@@charlescrawford9972 it's an important distinguishment.
Guys will hear this and think, "Hell yeah".
Awesome.
Why just guys?
@@oliviacase6417 😆
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
This is sick
I love how Kara breathes as if she is a wind instrument player - this shows an understanding of musical phrasing and timing and is one of the marks of an excellent musician. She does this so intuitively I wonder if she even notices.
I probably know I do it but im not thinking of it when I play, it's probably just part of my nature now :)
@@captainkirk4271 Can confirm in a similar sense with percussionists in marching band/drum corps. Breath control is vital to our rhythmic accuracy, and although the physical nature of the marching arts caters to it more than other musical environments, there's always funny looks on aspiring percussionists' faces when we include them in breathing exercises from the get-go lol.
Yeah, and she immediately moves the hands away from the keyboard, after touching a key.... so great
I'm not even a musician and even I breath.
@@xnamkcor *breathe*
It's crazy to see an actual, trained pianist freaking out over the complexity of an arrangement when the original music was composed with math and sine waves on its native hardware. Retro music is absolute witchcraft.
only really early video game music had to be programed in code! Later on they could use more standard keyboards and sequencers to write it. Still is great music!
@@franzkeller2051 Sequencer is still math and sine waves lol
@@bowbay so are freaking real instruments
@@bowbay everything is math lol
Samples, actually. The SPC700 sound chip is basically a smol wavetable synth with its own little CPU built in.
If i ever hit the lotto, I'll pay you millions of dollars to make piano recordings of every SNES soundtrack from my childhood just because it gives me such joy to hear the way you play it.
download the midis and load them into a good kontakt library
you should come to a stream sometime, I have a songlist with 3000 songs on it, mostly VGM, and I read music like this all the time there! twitch.tv/karacomparetto
Look at kyle landry he does a bunch of zelda ones. I stan this one tho its EPIC
what i love so much about you is that as soon as the song "clicks" with you, it's like the gloves are off.
😂😈❤️
First she strolls, discovering, then the fingers pick up speed and she takes off. And all the while, her face radiating wonder and joy as she discovers minute details and the novelty of the composition. A pleasure to behold and listen to❤Bravo!
This song plays in my head when I'm driving and late for work
I fake a smile all day long, but today, I'm sitting here on my lunch break listening to this and watching you sight read. It was pure joy. I've never seen such a thing. Literally dropped my jaw. Your speed and precision on the keys translated directly into magic.
this is so sweet thank you :D
@@KaraComparetto You look genuinely happy to be there and it definitely shows.
Never in my life would have I expected this song to sound as beautiful as it is badass, this is amazing thank you.
The joy on her face when she really started to get it halfway through was delightful.
Just realizing Big Blue is probably one of my favorite pieces of music, period
Big Blue sounds really good played a little more slowly. I never knew until now haha
Sounds like some Sims 1 music
I've long felt that this song would have been right at home as a Final Fantasy battle theme, and hearing it like this confirms that belief.
haha that makes sense!
The live commentary ("Oh, crap!") and journey through the facial expressions inherent to stumbling through and mastering a new performance makes an already-great arrangement a lot more fun. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, i love the dual camera setup. Watching her hands dance over the keys of the piano and her facial expressions as she goes through the emotions of playing this awesome tune. ❤
I have people tell me that they prefer the front angle of the camera to actually seeing my hands on the keys LOL
@@KaraComparetto
It's your own fault for making it so entertaining to watch your facial expressions. 😋 At first hyper focused and after a while getting into the flow of the song. Later just having fun with some hand movements you seemed to really enjoy and just going with it.
I'm not much of a musician (just fooling around sometimes on ocarinas), so just watching your hands for an entire video would seem quickly getting rather boring for me. It's not like I can really follow what you're doing anyway, especially with this tune. 🤣 It looks really impressive, but anyone can see (and hear) that in a few seconds. With dual setup people can choose where to look anyway, so win-win.
If this is stumbling I will never lay my hands on a piano again 😂😂😂 the talent of this artist is absolutely INSANE
I absolutely LOVE F-Zero music, and you did a great job with this!
I loved your Dixie Kong cosplay for the DKC songs and for this video I love what appears to be a terrified passenger in one of the F-Zero cars!
HAHAHAHA
I'm so amazed by sheet music players perfectly knowing which notes to hit with sheer skills like the iconic UA-cam legend Tom Brier. I'm just a filthy guitarist who struggle to read sheet music but this video and you encourages me to dive deeper into sheet music readings and knowing my notes without tracking with my eyes better.
If I've inspired you to practice reading music again, then I've done my job!
Yay! Big Blue! The best tune in the game. Thanks Kara!!
I would say OG mute city, but this one is just a classic
As a longtime fan of the fastest, most punishing racing franchise in the history of Nintendo, I thank you for playing this and I thank UA-cam for recommending this gem to me.
THANK YOU
Whoa... old school F-Zero... Bringing me back! Love it. Love your fun(expressive) takes on these!
Decades of memories, hearing this tune. It was really damn nice to see this come alive step by step on the piano.
You killed it 😁 Great Run
At 1:08..."you can hear the hills sing" as they said in Emperor's New Groove. 👌👌👌 That was like butter.
:)
I'm happy that she continuously tries to perfect it as she goes along instead of just being content with "good enough."
if the sheet music is a million pages long I might be content with one play through until the next time, but with only two pages I knew I could do better xD
Just like improving lap times
Wow. My childhood just smacked me in the face. BRILLIANT interpretation. You could definitely work with this slowed down at that time.
Right now I'm going through a difficult time in my life, thank you for these piano performances, it make me smile. Gracias Kara.
Glad to see F-Zero is getting some love.
If only Nintendo would give it some love too 😓
Awesome. Pure and simple. Excellent playing for a first time attempt.
Your ability to sight read and pick up is amazing. I don’t know how you’re able to reach the right tempo on your second attempt! Also, Big Blue is beautiful as a piano cover!
I am blown away! I am not a musician, but I have been a video game player for 40 years, and have known and loved this song since it was released at the end of 1991. The speed at which you learn to play it is incredible. I will watch more for sure!
THANK YOU!!
Watching a master pianist pick up a new song and work through it is always so much fun to watch. And the end result was great!
its crazy how great all these songs they made for NES and SNES actually were. what a cool thing to watch
Big Blue was my favorite track in F-Zero! Well done!
Can't wait to hear the full soundtrack in the future! It's a really good one.
HAHA! I guess I have to make full soundtracks out of everything now- you guys are too spoiled! :P
We definitely are.
@@KaraComparetto
Well. You asked for more notes to play ... 😈
😋
It was really fun watching you have fun with this piece! I didn't know this song could sound so good on piano. Thanks for sharing this!
Yeah sometimes I feel like you can hear more of the composition in the piano version than the original! not covered by heavy beats I guess haha
That's what I call "Legendary Skill" ...this is just...amazing...
I love that you're even doing F-Zero. Absolutely killing the process!
"You don't win by being lucky; you win by being bold."
That Bluesy take on Big Blue sounded WONDERFULL, love it
This is absolutely beautiful. *Amazing* job. There are so many original retro compositions I could recommend, but sincerely…
Thank you for this. I just found this video and now I’m going to do myself a favor by diving into your channels uploads❤
thank you so much! Come to a stream sometime, I play music from sooo many video games there, and read a lot of new music like this too. my alt account is great too- I upload more random stuff from live streams there, whereas here I post more collections and professional videos :) ua-cam.com/channels/G10dKKdab9mfJnnrjiIieg.html
twitch.tv/karacomparetto
@@KaraComparetto if I’m ever on twitch, I will absolutely be there! Thank you for the reply, and for the info! Already subscribed, and 20 videos deep hahaha ❤
F Zero is some of the hardest videoo game music to play, just from the inherent complexities in notes and tempo, but you did a great job!
Hope to see more scanning videos from you!
I have a fun Mario one coming up soon!
Not only is your playing awesome, but the amount of joy you seemingly derive from playing these songs is infectious. Great job!
thank you Mike!!
Every single video you release, you are literally playing the soundtrack to my childhood. Thank you 🙂
that's pretty cool haha! :)
I love how she demonstrates the pianist equivalent of guitar face. 😂
I also love just seeing a professional being goofy and fun. 😊
This sounds awesome on a piano.
I know it is faster too. But this pace makes it seem fantastic in a different way.
Will you ever record a final non-live stream version of this? It definitely deserves it. You should record a slower tempo version and a full tempo version just for fun.
Favorite part of this video was watching you have fun playing along! Love seeing authenticity online. We really need more of it.
Agreed! It's always the best part. If anyone likes this, this is what her twitch streams are like every week for hours. There's also lots of song learning clips on her tiktok
it's christmas 1991 and everything is wonderful
Thank you, talented girl. You have just brought me tears of joy.
man.. when the nostalgia hits even I am allowed to shed a tear or two. great playing!
I spent so many hours racing in F Zero as a kid and even then, I knew the music was special. Id get hyped every time Big Blue was the next race.
Glad you liked playing it, this song brings back one of my best memories of my childhood playing F-ZERO, thank you so much for that video!
I just discovered this as this is one of my all time favorite tune, and you nailed it so damn well. Great job, will be listening to more! Gets me wanting to get back into really learning the piano, such an amazing instrument.
The F-Zero soundtrack is what inspired me to get into electronic music! Great work! One of the unique things about the arrangement on the original game is the portamento sort of pitch bends into certain notes. Gives the song a lot of momentum. You simulate the bends really well on the piano!
It is a joy to see her having fun. F-Zero is part of my childhood.
One of the most underrated games of all time. But we know ✊🏼
This is insane. Once again I am blown away by your skills and inspired to improve my own. Thank you for uploading gems like this to UA-cam!
thank you!!
You played so great!!! F-Zero is one of my favourite games of all times and you have already made a huge tribute. When you do even better it would be amazing. Can't wait!!!
This is one of my favourite video game songs of all times. Such feels and nostalgia
So cool to see old Fzero music on piano. It's also crazy to see how great these composers really were in the early days of video games. Nice job!
man I just love this kind of stuff because it really helps you consider how complex these video game compositions are. I kinda always took it for granted that my favorite games had nice background music, but there is just so much massive talent and gorgeous visions put into games beyond what is on screen.
Never have been one to just play video game or movie soundtracks in my free time, but I totally get why its many people's favorite genre of music.
F-Zero has one of the best and exciting and powerfull tracks in videogame. I love all of them and Big Blue it's awesome. Love your work Kara.
This video inspired me to learn the song. I have learned the intro and the first section of the song and I can say with certainty that the song is just as much fun to play as the game!
awesome! on the piano too?
@@KaraComparettoYep!
I love how much joy you derived from that. One of the best songs from the SNES library.
Your phrasing is really good. Really captures the spirit of the track
Watched this one here very often in the last weeks... Your ability to learn so fast is so amazing. That is why youre such an outstanding artist with heart and soul.
I get recommended videos from this channel fairly often, but this ambitious piece made me sit up and take notice. I expect I'll be back more often
see you around!!
Incredible. First time finding your channel and I'm already a huge fan.
thank you Adam!! There's lots for you to explore :) hope you like Undertale because that's the next "big" one im gonna share :D
Love it! Played this game so much and loved the sound track, very nostalgic.
oh wow.... i didnt expect to tear up over this video. :( it sounds so good!!!
hahaha so sweet! XD
Thumbs up at "I'm just being annoying." Having fun and getting into it is great!
It's fascinating watching the focus in your eyes while you play. You're very talented, I'm sure your family is so proud of you.
people tell me I have crazy eyes when im sight reading XD
Lol I literally never thought about a piano arrangement of an F Zero song. But this is so sick. Nice job!
F-ZERO is one of my favorite franchises from Nintendo. Since F-ZERO GX I have longed for a new true installment on home consoles that could give me that over the top adrenaline pumping racing that pushed me to my limits on the master difficulty with the amazing music tracks and speed. I got goosebumps while listening to this and it made me emotional because it reminded me of all the hours I have played all the games and from when I discovered F-ZERO by pure accident when I bought my first used N64 in 2004.
Thank you for playing one of my favorite music tracks from the franchise.
Love this story, thank you for sharing
This made me soo happy. Honestly one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time. You should definitely explore the rest of the tracks. What a treat thank you ! :)
I have, on my streams! have played a lot of other F-zero songs, though I dont think ive played all of them yet!
@@KaraComparetto Awesome! I'll have to check out your streams :)
So much fun and so impressive. The ending is hilarious. Everyone come to twitch and see her do this every week!
First vid i've seen of her but I already love this streamer.
Passionate, with a compelling character.
Talented at what she does, while still blundering and goofing around.
Instead of going the easy route, attracting viewership by wearing something that can barely even considered clothing, the only thing she is revealing on stream is her genius at the piano and a beautiful smile alongside.
I have not only gotten my faith restored but, call me a simp, may have fallen a bit aswell, premiere content right here!
you should come to a live stream sometime! I learned some fun ones yesterday, like Flash Man from Mega Man 2 XD Also a really crazy anime song, it's always a fun time!
It was powerful. Following you instantly! So many memories from my childhood with this theme in the background :3
Thank you!
thank you Anthony!! :) not sure if you're a tier or undertale fan but we got some of both coming in the future, also something from mega man kinda like this one :D
@@KaraComparetto Nope but I've heard about Undertale, didn't have much time to play 😁 It's always a pleasure to discover anyway! Huge fan of Fire Emblem!
Yooooooo!! This is/was amazing! You alwways look like youre having so much fun figuring music out. It's such s high light!
@@enhasa5653 I was!! 😂😂❤️
Absolutely fire! Keep it up! Can't wait to see you do something like "Together We Ride" from Fire Emblem.
Some of my favorite old-school game music. I am always amazed by your ability to sight read and play things like this on your first try. I first noticed your amazing sight reading when you flawlessly played the ending theme to Final Fantasy VI one one of your early live streams, and that was your first time ever seeing it or hearing it. Your skill is mind blowing, and so inspirational! Thank you for all of this awesomeness.
Thank you Logan! That sight read was another classic for me- a fun introduction to the ending theme to FFVI. Since then I've played the game and love it! F-Zero was a childhood game of mine :D
Absolutely excellent job sight reading!! 🤩
02:10 That stool tilt is incredible :)
Loved this piece back in 1992, coming through my TV speakers! Sounds so incredibly good from the piano. Such a lovely piece of music. Imagine being able to sight read that! Amazing skills.
Oh, my! This was so fun to hear! Remembering good old times. I need to dig out my piano and practice again. Thanks for this!
just stumbled on your channel and watching you work through playing one of my favorite game songs was way more entertaining than I expected. Great job on learning that tune. I think I might try to learn it myself.
THANK YOU!! I hope you give it a shot!
This is insanity to watch you just get through it, lady your fu**ing amazing and you play my childhood like a rockstar
Holy crap, dude. This is seriously impressive
What a treat this was to watch! 😊 Glad for the UA-cam recommendation!
Absolutely impressive! I actually thought the first speed sounded great! The fact that you even attempted it full speed surprised me, until you actually pulled it off! Geez babe, you good!
thanks lol! I still think it's quite difficult to get it up to FULL speed, but I have attempted it a few times after this on live streams and get pretty close :D
Dont know how youtube connected us, but I used to play this game with my cousins in the late 90s. A lifetime ago. Thank you.
The slow version of this song is absolutely lovely.
You should record it.
Congratulations !!
Cheers from Brazil.
A month later and I keep coming back to this. The jam is TOO POWERFUL! It invades my mind and I need to hear it! Great job! This will never get old!
ahaha I didn't expect people to watch more than once, im glad you liked it that much XD
She's one of the best I see and plays with passion ❤
Ive been following your videos for a while but this one might be the first ive been compelled to comment on.
Big blue is gorgeous on piano
You should comment more!! You guys don't know how important the engagement is to me, thank you so much! :) I'm glad you loved the video!
F-Zero has some seriously good music. In every sense of the word.
