Castle Vein - Piano (ULTRAKILL OST) 

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)

Definitely agree. But if you love great transcriptions, check out Aqare's Cover of Slave Knight Gael. Some people are just awesome at their craft

9 months late, but did you do it?

@@Nikowo1610 ehh.... maybe

@@muhammadaltairaufa4178did you do it yet

And now did you do it? ​@@muhammadaltairaufa4178

Year late, can you play it yet?

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

@@synamo dancer in darkness is one of the least known ultrakill songs I only know it cause i bought the track

@@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

RU-vid never ceases to disappoint xd the creators tho-

👍

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!

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

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

@@Vex_OG oh you're right😭

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!!

@@synamo thanks ! i am still struggling but i appreciate the help(is that how you say it)

Furthermore, how can I create for these myself? Like, what did you make this on? Software? Sorry I’m bad at communicating questions

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!

why not both

why are you outside my house Oh and since you're outside can you throw out the 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!

@@synamo when i said halls of sacrilegious remains, i meant alter of apostasy in general, the full song, if thats not too much of a hassle.

yeah, thats a section where knowing how to read sheet music really helps

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)

@@synamo my keyboard starts with c and ends with c, there is a c#, would i have to remove that?

@@makaylasmalley6888 yeah you would have to remove that top c# in that section but other than that it'll be the same

@@synamo at the section 2:40 there are a#'s and f's, i believe i would have to remove those too

@@makaylasmalley6888oop yeah i forgot about that section but yeah you would have to remove those top notes

what do you mean by “letters”?
