In my many years of piano I have not one time seen someone on your level of transpositional quality. This genuinely looks like you made it yourself. In fact, it probably would have been easier to make a similar piece than trying to transpose this. Extreme respect to you my friend. You are a talent beyond recognition.
By the way @synamo I noticed that the provided SM link is played in some places an octave down or up. For example, in the first series of higher pitched chords with the right hand, the left hand is an octave lower in the video vs the SM. Wait shit, is it the black lines at the bottom? Are they supposed to be the octave down symbol? My bad for not guessing if that's the case. I guess musescore didnt render it properly. 😅
yeah, musescore is having some issues with rendering that for some reason, but yes those are supposed to be the 8va symbols lol (sorry for not responding quickly, for some reason I didn't get a notification)
Update: im almost able to play the entirety of this behemoth I can do almost every part if i segment them and i can do around 1/4 of it connected. Wish me luck guys.
this is by far the best rendition I've ever heard of castle vein and in general you have made some of the best piano renditions of ultrakill ost on the internet, you should be extremely proud of yourself
I'm seriously disappointed UA-cam didn't recommend this to me earlier, this goes hard. That, coupled with the fact you provided the sheet music, is fantastic. Thank you for your kind work.
Thank you!! it's probably just that there are a few other castle vein covers released first, so most people would have already seen them and not go looking for another, which is fair, but my dancer in darkness video hasn't done nearly as well despite being (as far as I know) the only piano version of that song. Perhaps people just aren't looking for a piano version of that track though lol
@@grimstruck5300 oh 😭 it’s one of my favorites cause 4-3 was my favorite level (before act 2 fully released) but i guess it makes sense if not too many people know about it
@@synamo its a great level and the fake something wicked when you do the challenge scared the shit out of me and the song is beautiful too but its not order or castle vein so no one cares and its a shame
if youre used to playing the intro and you try to learn the drop it can be kinda tricky. i recommend playing the right hand solo for a while before trying to incorporate the left hand since you are used to playing the whole cohesive melody with both hands instead of playing one half of the cohesive melody with each hand
oh yeah that part is really tricky, id recommend just playing it extremely slowly, you can also practice polyrhythms and syncopation in general, which should help with that part. but yeah that part definitely throws you off lol good luck!
For a while now, I've been trying to play songs I like without any tutorials or sheet music (which I don't even know in the first place lol), but I just couldn't figure out how to even begin with this. I'm amazed at how much this arrangement sounds like the original-it really helps me appreciate the complexity of the song. You nailed this!
i was trying to make a midi of this myself just for fun and i came here cuz 0:35 was really giving me trouble lol your transcription skills are astounding, subbed
I cant stop listening this. This is...i cant even tell what i feel, this is UNREAL man, its sound so good, but looks simple, very good job m8, like and sub for this.
I got a piano keyboard for christmas (3 days ago) and I'm learning to play this as my first piece! Really wanted to play Castle Vein and searched it on musescore, of course yours popped up first. Not gonna lie, for a piece labelled "intermediate" I find the process of learning it pretty enjoyable for my first time seriously touching a piano/keyboard. Learned the first 24 measures so far. For measures 7-17 in the bass clef, I just keep holding the notes instead of alternating between the two, since 1. It's hard to play different things with different hands, and I'll allow myself for my first piece since I'm a beginner :) 2. My keyboard doesn't have weighted keys, and even when I manage to do it as you intended, the bass is too loud and it overshadows the treble clef, though that is kinda what happens in the original piece. All in all this piece is really great and seems like one of those "looks hard, is easy" kind of pieces, which is great for me trying to impress people :D
That was intentional! I try to theme the visuals to what the level looks like, so for this one i used the blue and red skulls since they are the main concept in 1-3 And same with Dancer in Darkness, the yellow and green are the two main colors in 4-3, and Tenebre Rosso Sangue literally translates to blood red darkness so I just used red lol
The chords part in 0:35 makes me wanna break my wrists off but its fun as hell to play not even gonna lie Edit: I just realized the entire channel is ultrakill piano songs. I'm gonna have quite the long next few days 😅
holy shit im a FOOL - its a castlevania reference?? i was just listening to bloody tears yesterday thinking man this reminds me of that one ultrakill song...
u got this! take ur time, learn one section at a time, and go slowly to get the muscle memory in your fingers cause once you have that you can start increasing the speed! And you could also try removing some of the top notes (which are just an octave above the bottom note) in sections like 0:35 to 1:07 and then adding the octaves once you are more comfortable. Also I say this in the comments of the sheet music, but in case you didn't see that I would recommend playing the constant notes in the left hand in the 1:08 to 1:40 section on your thumb instead of your pinky (if that makes sense?) as not only does it sound better on a real piano (at least in my opinion) but it is also much easier to play lol This is also a somewhat difficult piece (especially for a beginner) but just take your time to learn it, and since it's a song you like you'll probably be much more motivated to practice. this comment is way longer than I initially meant it to be lol but good luck with learning piano!!
This is beautifully made, I’m trying this right now and with slow but steady progress I’m learning it. Would love it if you could try to transpose Order 🙏
I remember that one time I tried to speedrun 1-3 on standard with challenge on secret encounter, but when I entered Agony and Tundra room, I remembered that I forgot the dusk soap... In the end, I picked up soap and killed hideous mass. A: time S: kills S: style +500 no restarts
what i do is use the (free!) program musescore to make the arrangement, and then i export that arrangement into a midi file and import that into the (once again, free!) program piano-vfx (there are others such as embers or synesthesia but piano-vfx is my favorite) and it’ll automatically play it for me and export a video file. you can also do a live playback where you plug in a midi keyboard (basically an electronic piano) and itll copy the notes that you play, but i dont have one of those lol. after that you can use any video editor (i use hitfilm 14 cause thats what i have installed on my computer but i dont think you can actually get it anymore, id recommend like davinci resolve but any video editor will work) to add the little titlecard at the beginning, but thats optional ofc, i just like adding it lmk if you have any more questions!
Thanks! I’m working on it, though currently I’m stuck trying to figure out ways to get the long held notes (especially in the beginning) to sound good without using insanely fast tremolos that are basically unplayable… Can’t promise that it’ll release anytime soon but I am working on it!
man im just a kid and i dont got a piano im trying to do this on some sort of online piano cause i cant get a real one. in good at the red notes but i csnt do the blue cause the only piano things i have are garageband on my phone and chrome music lab which is trash
one day, ive got a couple other things im working on (plus my own life stuff going on that make it hard to work on arrangements rn) but i want to get to it eventually!
depends what key it starts on, the only part that could maybe not work as written is the section from 0:36 to 1:07 where you may need to remove the top note (but again that depends on what note your keyboard starts on)

A MONTH OLD? Wow now this is a hidden gem. Im subbed now
This is my favourite piano cover by far!
Ima be honest g, this song took me more than i'd like to admit
if youre used to playing the intro and you try to learn the drop it can be kinda tricky. i recommend playing the right hand solo for a while before trying to incorporate the left hand since you are used to playing the whole cohesive melody with both hands instead of playing one half of the cohesive melody with each hand
I’m not going to be able to do this for a long time, but when the time comes, this cover will be the first that I come back to.
👍
great piece, im struggling on the 1:40 part though 😭the constant left note pressing is really screwing me up.
oh yeah that part is really tricky, id recommend just playing it extremely slowly, you can also practice polyrhythms and syncopation in general, which should help with that part. but yeah that part definitely throws you off lol

Congrats! I am the 1 thousand like. Started learning this and it’s amazing. Keep up the good work
Sounds amazing
No words just amazing
I will learn this song. And show all of you it. You have my word
when I don’t know what to eat, I’d go into the pantry, close the door, and play this while staring at the food and thinking of what to eat
i also just noticed that the blue and red might be connected to the 2 skulls you can collect in 1-3, cool secret! unless it wasnt intentional?
That was intentional! I try to theme the visuals to what the level looks like, so for this one i used the blue and red skulls since they are the main concept in 1-3

@@synamo one small issue, you reversed the colours. No big deal tho.

can't wait to try and learn this on mallets instead of piano and then cry because it will hurt my brain
0:30 is kinda hard to figure out the timing to
yeah, thats a section where knowing how to read sheet music really helps
I love how blocky the falling notes are, reminds me of a machine.
