Canadian amateur composer, percussionist, and music theorist. I like rhythm and micro/macrotones, and understand how to use neither.
I have not done anything related to virtual piano for years. Stop asking me. Go ask the Virtual Piano Discord server instead. Or just do it yourself with the sheet creator. The community developed actual tools, you do not need me to do this for you anymore.
Very good, as per usual, but i feel like the piece doesn't have much of a story to tell an as such doesn't reach much of a dramatic climax, and unlike many of your other pieces doesn't seem like a connection of various ideas, more like one idea without enough build to add intrigue, but still very good
I feel like this needs an engine (see 12 tone drum (i know this isn't a drum piece ( i only clarify incase this isn't a theoretical term) )) to really give it a sense of build later in the piece
Echoing Dr. Hinger's thoughts that this feels very polished and fully realized (despite the time crunch, impressively). 10/10 would not stroke a beard again

The accordion line had tritones in the bass because I forgot I went to the phrygian mode, so it incredibly difficult/impossible to play due to the massive leaps.

What an awesome piece man! The pure scale and structure of the piece is insane, and I especially loved the B and C sections. Is 19edo a tuning system? I like how detuned it sounds at times. Those large quintal chord chains sound incredible and that fiery ending is kickass!
Glad you like it. I'm under the impression most people don't listen due to the long runtime. Yes, 19edo is a tuning system. "edo" is Equal Divisions of the Octave, so there are 19 pitches per octave instead of 12. That's why the notation can get really, really wonky. C# and Db are different pitches, and there's pitches between E/F and B/C. If you're interested in playing with 19edo yourself, try xenpaper or Scale Workshop 3. This piece barely scratches the surface of how 19edo can sound. The fifths are noticeably flat, but the minor third is really accurate (as in its partials more closely match a 5:6 ratio than in 12edo). The D section is full of intervals that don't really exist in 12edo, so it'll sound especially detuned. Thanks for listening.
It's probably some variation on "Piano Cafe". I vaguely remember Fumei being part of the creator's name. I haven't touched the game in awhile and don't have it on hand.
4:41 I hope you and MuseScore are okay with me taking a sample of the phrase right after this. It just asks for it. No clue where I’d use it though. EDIT: Oh, the piece even ends with it as well! 👏 Badum-ts. EDIT 2: Sounds magnificient at 0.054x speed (with corresponding pitch lowering).
This sheet is not difficult. The only two things I can even imagine someone having trouble with is the 5 note chord, [59wry] and [60etu]. They both have the exact same shape and move one key to the right. On your right hand: index on 5, middle on r, ring on w. On your left hand: index on u, ring on 0. Or, the eighth notes after [48qs]. As in: [60eu] s s [48qs]-d-s a aWhich also isn't that difficult, it just requires a bit of speed to move your index finger from 4 to d in time. The shift key doesn't get used, there are no significant challenges in the sheet. It should take someone who isn't brand new to the virtual piano layout ten minutes at most to figure this song out.

I love the dissonance and intentional chaos! Your melody lines definitely represent the 3 "hags" very well. Would you be open to an arrangement being made of this piece?
One of my colleagues is working on an orchestral arrangement and it does sound pretty nice. I won't be orchestrating it myself as I have other projects.
Very pretty piece! Its really interesting hearing you write a piece in this style, it's very tame compared to your usual style but I like it! The primary theme is super calming and poignant, and I really loved when it returns with octaves in the LH and when it re-iterates the melody an octave higher. I also thought it was fun how the B section is offset by a beat. What was the intention behind the low thirds? Is it to keep the pattern going of the double stops? Beautiful piece man, love hearing your stuff!
I tried to tone it back a lot since I was using my inner ear to write the piece. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the low thirds, so I'm just assuming you're referring to the entire accompaniment of the B section. They're just to fill out the harmony a bit, since the A section is very thin. It also plays into/establishes the double stop pattern, yes. I wrote the B section front to back without returning to edit, so there's a handful of things I didn't consider and that I would change if I were to rework the piece. The muddy low register of the B section being one of those things. Sorry for the late reply, RU-vid marked your comment as spam for some reason.
Beautiful arrangement man! I'll have to go check out the original. I love how you balanced the different textures, with the strings highlighting that beautiful haunting harmony and the extra instrumentation joining it for certain parts of the phrase. Super neatly transcribed too!
No, the ear infection causes me to hear two different pitches in each of my ears, creating an incredibly dissonant interval each time I hear what would normally be a single pitch. Are you suggesting I shift the entire piece over an eighth note so the D# at the beginning is on-beat?
