At the Speed of Light ON PIANO (648 notes per minute!)

- I present my At the Speed of Light piano cover. This was a year and a half in the making, and I'm so happy to finally have a decent recording-I can finally rest my arms.
BIG thanks to the creator of the MIDI file (@ilrell) and the Musescore (@or-what) that I used to learn the piece. Learning this piece would have been impossible without sheet music.
Original song: • Dimrain47 - At the Spe...

I hope you enjoy!

Insane.
YO! Thank you so much
@@khaelkugler Damn congrats bro
Holy, it's the man himself! Now we just need ilrell to show up
It's actually him :0
yo
It’s funny how this one song can summon the entire GD community
OMG so true
I Iisten to this everyday
Damn you got me right there
what did you expected?
i have been summoned
doing the entire song in one run is like beating aftercatabath
i was gonna say something to you about this being inaccurate but thats actually probably a good comparison
Probably not but ok
@@Emu-Otori- ?
this is harder for sure
Playing this on piano is 5x easier than beating an Extreme Demon lmao
"bro I just beat bloodlust"
"what mouse do you have?"
"mouse? I beat it on a piano"
It'd be cool if someone hooked a piano to a PC and played GD
Edit: Thanks chat for telling me
@@ThexburstI wonder how that would work
@@Thexburst It's kinda possible with org keyboard but i think its impossible with the actual piano.
That’s cataclysm
@@AveragePersonGD it’s bloodlust
yknow i like dimrain's music but I didnt think much of this song, but played so masterfully on piano it it hits COMPLETELY different im blown away
Thanks Exyl!! Didn't expect to see you here, I'm glad you liked it. This arrangement was pretty fun to play! Love your work--I've tried to do a little music prod and bro that stuff is difficult.
Didn't expect Exyl to comment there.
Exactly my thoughts man, love ur music btw, we need a collab between u Tem, and Creo
HOLY SHIT EXYL?!?

Hes not! Hes playing the song of it
@@schmog80🗿
@@schmog80 i know,It was a joke xd
This piece is probably harder than some of the easier extreme demons ngl
wow you can point out the obvious
This is where practice, dedication, and passion gets a person. This is simply inhumane, the idea that someone could play this song this fast and this accurate. My hat goes off to you Mr Kugler
Me too
The comment is nice but this piece is certainly not inhumane and the tempo is extremely handleable even by someone with moderate experience.
Finaly someone who knows its not just talent
@@gencraigz exactly
what bothers me about this is that the tempo is slightly off
@@gencraigz ikr clair de lune blows this out the water but still it's impressive since he does look pretty young
As a pianist AND a GD player, I can tell this is legendary
I to am both but I also suck at both but this is Insane or should I say extreme... Demon
Bro just beat an extreme demon on piano
@@TsunamiVolcanoBro just copied the top comment 🤓👆
Which one is harder
@@Moyai176 The piano one
not only did he play the song, he also used pedals to play gd at the same time. absolute mad man
That's how middle pedal works
@@doirit no one told me how the middle pedal works on a grand piano.
@gatio2007CatSad idk my middle pedal makes the notes echo, but not as much as the damper pedal, and after playing on different pianos i guess mine is the only one that does that lol idk
@@gatio2007CatSadi think the middle pedal is like the right pedal, except it only "extends" the notes that you are currently pressing while the pedal gets activated.
@@Qaptylyou are right, but that is only for older pianos. The newer ones do something different but idk what
What
probably harder because in these levels you can make a few tiny mistakes and it won’t count and on piano it can make make the song sound kinda unrecognisable sometimes
@@Lugemaster1202one misclick will have a high chance of crashing in most levels, but one t i n y click out of time will kill you in extreme demons. Meanwhile a tiny mistake on the piano will barely affect the piece.
@@yees_7568say that to a pianist i dare u
@@shelycayetano9854the video even showed that he made tiny mistakes. I still enjoyed it.
making the song harder is the same as making the song
This is gonna be a great replacement song in case of copyright.
But seriously this would've taken forever, I am simply amazed by what you performed.
Huge respect.
Would need some editing to sync, it could work
600th like 🤓
I believe the song don't have copyright tho
@@hellphinjust a little bit of editing the song and it works
Dimrain doesn't copyrght his songs
2:00 is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard played on a piano!
by far my favorite part of the song, and the part after where it goes electronic (in the original song) makes it so hype
1:58 man.. this part hits me like a damn truck
rip michigun
Best part of the piece the piano hit different
o7
This part of the original song is actually played with a piano which is partly why it sounds so good
/\/\/\
How is this not viral!? Your sooo good! :D
Thanks! Maybe it will be with time lol
@@khaelkugler Dude, you don't need to go viral. The man himself commented on your video. That's the biggest honor you can get!
I mean… If hes gonna become a pianist he needs to play perfect and a piece of this difficulty, while tough is definitely doable. So i hope you stuck with it and will upload a perfect version in the future
@NotNebula Was it? I'd like to see you try. So come on, give us an awe inspiring performance.
@NotNebula my a55 mediocre lmao. Imo the view pointbof him playing just cannot be seen clearly, no one knows about this song and geometry dash video is rare to be seen in UA-cam
1:30-1:45 was absolutely beautiful
Agree
0:00 to 4:22 was beautiful
@@Salibascoredyessirr 👍👍❗
@Snuuy___ The best part is 4:23
@@brent460 Lmao savage
Idk if you read comments or not, but this is absolutely nuts. Since in the music each part is basically a drop and recreating them on piano is literally so hard (finger tiring)
1:30 was the absolute coolest part in my opinion. I knew what it would sound like but I still got chills from it. Absolutely mesmerizing performance
Agreed
that part is my favorite part lol
@@Creafordfake ending is goated tho
literally buffbath but even more buff
@@Creafordi didnt expect u here lmao
Playing this on the piano sounds and feels like you're playing Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement
I actually played that prior to this lol
They both have those annoying arpeggios
@@4klegendaryyt379 true dude its a pain
@@khaelkugler how difficult is this compared to moonlight sonata 3rd movement?
@@georgepetrou501 I'd say musically, moonlight sonata is more difficult, however mechanically ATSOL was far more difficult. As with most techno, ATSOL was relatively similar across the piece, so it didn't require as much thought about dynamics, voicing, etc. But nothing can compare with the speed of ATSOL >:)
Ya know, straight up beating AfterCataBath may have been easier at that point lol. Anyways, congrats dude. I never thought my score which I uploaded purely for fun, would ever actually played by someone.
Heh funnily enough I wasn't actually that good at GD. I'm still stuck on Deadlocked lol
@@khaelkugler We sound like we some stuff in common
(I am a former GD player who also happenens to be a piano sweat.
And funnily enough, I was trying to beat Deadlocked when I stopped playing)
@@khaelkugler I mean, i'm only beat deadlocked when i got 49% on Deception dive and 69~100% on it too lol

@@ThatWasDry same here, although I was on finger dash, then I lost my Google account and I’m to lazy to by gd again
At 1:45 you can see how his pinky is the only thing playing the melody, while playing with his other thinkers the 2nd melody and the lower notes with his other hand, respect.
Appreciate you noticing that! It took quite a lot of practice to voice it properly, lol :)
@@khaelkugler yes, I'm trying to learn it and it took me a long time
@@elithelegobrickit’s not too hard with wrist rotation
@@erckupazo it gets consistant after abt 3 months but its VERY hard

@@khaelkugler LOL
@@danielmsmbl i think he did not only learn it but he actually made the cover. At least its what it says in the description. This guy i absolutely insane
@@cuker5633 I don't think he made the cover, because he credits sheet music that he learned from in the description. Either way he is insane for learning this.
probably takes less time than beating the level 💀
The fact he remembered ~2829 notes and can keep the rhythm correct is just insane man
😮😮 it is unbelievable
Not really, your average professional pianist has to memorize thousands of notes for competitions, concerts, etc.
@@claytonsimons3361i once remember 3000 note for school show and i remember all of it
As a pianist myself i can say that for pretty much any song you need to memorise it, and it kind of just goes on almost automatically when you memorised it. Still tho, VERY impressive🤩🤩
This is around high grade 7 or low 8 but it’s damn long
2 extreme demons and 4 minutes of nonstop piano is basically beating slaughterhouse☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀
Brooo, 1 Hour on piano is insane, Rachmaninoff concerto 2, Chopin concerto 2, etc
4 minutes is relatively short for piano (it obviously depends on the song)
Slaughterhouse?) Это тоже демон
@@element_5Top 5, since Tidal Wave got rated.
Id say its harder
Bro it’s basically playing cataclysm x bloodlust on a fridge😂
2:22 gave me chills. So relaxing!
the whole sequence from 2:00-2:45 is just done so beautifully its a nice touch compared to the original
It’s easily my favorite part of the song.
It’s an unexpected key change
And the level in the background:💀💀💀
My favorite part had to be from 0:00 - 4:22
Believe it or not, that little screwup at 4:00 worked incredibly well. This is delightful.
hi mythic
lol its mythic
Reminds me of BL 98% death
Correct
yea, it does give that spiky dissonanse before it goes to tonic which sounds good
1:57 this part sounds so chill on the piano without the blood-pumping beat in the background
Yeah u right
Your Friend "I beat Bloodbath, And Bloodlust" this guy: "Same!" Your Friend "On what? your steam deck. your phone, your computer?"

@@ryzikx i mean yeah if you picked it apart with a knowledge of music history i'm sure you'd find loads of red flags that mark it as a completely different time period and style. but i think it's fair to say some of the emotional gravitas and just general ~vibes~ are reminiscent of some of the true classical greats.
this person clearly put an incredible amount of effort and practice into this, but if it was played by a super talented professional pianist, you could totally see it being right at home in a classical concert or recital or something

3:27 I think I shed a tear. So beautiful
Absolutely! My favorite part without a doubt!
I’m not sure what’s more difficult at this point. The GD level or just playing at the speed of light itself. Regardless, incredible. Just incredible
def the piano, it takes years upon years, speaking from 7 years of piano and 4 years of GD, this is harder
playing at the speed of light of course, you know how fast that is

I don't know why but I feel so much emotion from 1:57 until 2:49
That part is just sounds beautiful to me.
Same here buddy
In my opinion, this is the best moment in the original song as well
In bloodbath, it was during michigun's part, so its even more emotional for me
It’s the best part of song
Yea literally everyone agrees that the break from the intense music and slow hype up is just insane

Honestly, playing the song looks harder than actually playing the level
The piano segment at 0:43 sounds exactly like it here
Yeah cuz it’s a piano segment in the actual song
INSANE cover, you deserve respect, playing the song is as hard as the level looks
I’m learning this song and I have a quick question. At 1:49, what fingering do you use for the jump from the Ab chord to the high Eb? Do you use 1-3-5 for the Ab major or 1-2-3 or something else?
I like how easily this could be played as a “sad song” especially the slow parts.
Just replace the major chords with minor chords and slow down a bit and BOOM “slow sad song”
honestly even with the major chords, I can hear it as a sad song a little, and this song is overall a beautifully composed piece.
Good lord
True. However some people can do 11 clicks per second on one finger and the average human has 10 fingers
It's not mindblowing. Play a chord and you got 4 already. Basic melody on top and you are very close with lot less difficulty.

@@limerimer5547 I beg to differ, a good piano player would learn this song faster than a good GD player would beat the level. The piano version isn't as hard as one might think because there aren't a lot of notes being palyed on the same time, they are mostly just played really fast so once you get the flow and feel of the song it's not THAT difficult. But it is pretty difficult.
