Debussy - Clair de Lune | Played on an Out of Tune Piano 

out of tuned piano just adds so much more to the music and in a way to describe it is basically playing under the sea. amazing cover btw

It’s like being distorted through a dream Ahh it’s so cool :,)

I would kill for a genre of piano like this… I don’t know what it might be called or if anyone would fully embrace it, yet, hearing the keys and strings holding near chaos while staying in melody has such a movement on me and in everything and everyone here.. it’s a perfect harmony of false harmonization. Thank you, for this piece of magic and wonder.

I love untuned piano music. It just makes it sound… nostalgic? Just. Familiar in a way. Like those photos with nobody in them of playgrounds or childrens play areas. Familiar. But like something is missing, like how that memory will never be the same from when you first had it. Like when you laugh a lot about a joke but when you hear it again you dont laugh. Like the humor is missing,

i have a weird obsession with out of tune pianos. they just sound very mystical

This is so well played and the out of tune piano adds so much to the music... i just cant help to love this interpretation

The beauty of the composition and the skill of the performer outmatches the tonal abnormality. I wish I could hear it uncompressed...

one of the few memories I have left of my mother was her playing our out of tune piano after I was sent to bed. I used to sneak down the stairs to listen to her play.

I can see someone slowly bleeding out from a gunshot wound but has already made peace with death and their regrets and embraced the warm sun on their cheek as the voices of their loved one envelop their senses and they pass away

1:58 i cant really put into words how the end of this song feels out of tune other than a lucid dream you couldn’t control it really is amazing how my mind floods with emotions and thoughts when listening to certain things, none of them enough to make me cry but just enough to feel sense of emptiness/dread.

I also remember when you wanted lessons but had no time for them. I am so glad you are getting to learn as an adult. I wish I learned how to read music but maybe I will try some RU-vid tutorials now.

looking out my window at 5am, seeing people walking by, the rain dripping down the window, the candle lit on the table next to the window and the moon shining through the trees while listening to this the best thing i have experienced in like- forever

It makes me feel like I’m floating in a limbo and hearing this song echoing in the empty space, it’s quite peaceful

I both hate and love this because the piano in my cousin’s old house sounded just like this, very out of tune and old. I had always wanted to learn how to play it but only got to watch as my uncle played some small parts of songs, and I was really mesmerized by it. I miss that house, I miss that piano and I miss my uncle, but I will always love an untuned piano cover. This cover is beautiful. Thank you

this is so- magical. idk why i love the sound of an untuned piano lol amazing job!!

I was somewhere. I think it was glacier national park at a campground. There was like a food court but very rustic and there was a pool and arcade section as well as pool tables. It was a fairly quiet evening and their was a family mumbling near the low drone of the pinball. There was a piano sitting in the corner and I went to check if it had worked. It was the most echloey untuned piano I'd ever heard. Q fewinutes later my brother was talking and my brain drifted to this. I couldn't play it and i was looking at musecore but my phone was actually recording. That recording is somewhere on the internet and I often go back to it because it reminds me of one of those moments that just happen. You can't force it, you don't know when it's happening, and there's no pomp and circumstance. The out of tune piano isn't special because it's ethereal or sounds of an older time or place, it's special because of the literalness. It's real, it's not perfect, it's not preordained, it's not stylistic, it's the realness that encapsulates what living day by day is like.

out of tune pianos just feel so much better idk why

an out of tune piano mixed with this song may be the most beautiful thing I've heard in so long. I have so much respect for this song and for the piano to add that extra kind of beauty (idk couldn't really find the right work) its just perfect to me.

Probably the most beautiful cover I’ve heard of this song, sounds super theatrical in a lonely way

The imagery I can see in this was a person visiting an old abandon theme park and remembering the joy he once had going on each rides he went on and remembering everybody smiling and being happy but is now looking at the theme park that stand through being abandon with nobody in it except just themself as the rides are now rusted and decayed

POV: you just got your arm stolen by your older more violent sibling after they shot nickels at you and now you need to make a grappling hook to go fight them in Egypt

i came to RU-vid looking for this exact video -- thank god for talent and inspiration being able to be shared. this is beautiful and youll be getting a lot of repeat views from me. if i could like more than once i would

I love out of tune piano because each pianos out of tuneness is a unique story of the time and conditions its weathered. An individual instance of infinite, unique, variables

Well played man! The first few bars remind me of the time my crush rejected me but she said she liked my shirt and smiled. I swear those notes convey the exact feelings I was experiencing during that incident.

this sounds like a very peaceful and comfortable fade into insanity, like I've crossed into another reality of absurdity without a care in the world about where I've been or where I'm going

I love this song too! I also thought your hands were your dad’s but now they look like a mix. I love the song Evanescence if you want to learn that.

POV: you just came back from a 9-5 job, your tired as hell, and you open your front door, walk into nobody at home, you take a cold beer from the fridge that wasnt stocked for 2 weeks, you lay on the couch, sad and tired, you open the bottle and you hear the distinctive pop that you hear almost every single day after work. you can here the pieces of tax papers sliding through the floors as it falls over. you turn the TV on to watch the commercial channel since there isnt anything else to watch, you start to snooze over and you suddenly hear the noise of the piano that you havent taken care of in over 20 years. you wake up in this lucid dreamland, the sky is a purple and blue hue and the clouds are pink. there is one house and its a pleasant blue color, almost reminding you of your childhood. you knock to see if anyone is there. you get greeted by a small dog that looks awfully similar to your childhood dog. then a old and sweet lady greets you. she says: Hello, would you like to come inside to have a cup of tea and some biscuits? you answer: yes please thank you. as soon as you walk into the door, you become 20 years younger. your back to being a child. you can smell the cookies in the oven. you can smell the jasmine tea's aroma. you go upstairs and you find a room that says "grandsons room" and you enter it, you see all your childhood belongings like the spelling bee award, lego sets. and your pokemon cards. you start crying. you go back downstairs and you talk with the old lady, you say: grandma is that you?, its me your grandson. she says: my grandson! and she starts crying in joy. you come up to hug here and you feel like your falling into the void and she disapears along with the house. you fall into the floor, you start falling into the void, you land in a sea, and you start drowning. you suddenly wake up in panic mode, you look around. and first thing you see is the piano. you walk up to it, you pull the cover open, and you clear the dust on the keys.and then you start playing your grandmas favorite piano piece, Clair de lune. you can hear the piano's age because its so out of tune, you end up staying on the piano until 4 in the morning. and then you fall asleep on the couch. you start crying while slightly smiling in joy. the end.

I first heard Clair de lune from ultrakill, and wow, this would fit with the vibe of that level perfectly.

Beautiful cover of this piece. Takes me back to when my brother practiced piano on our school's totally out of tune piano, don't know why but when it's out of tune the music sounds like forgotten memories.

It always gives me a Bioshock infinite type feel

This song must play at my funeral, if not I simply just won't die.

Would love to see more songs played like this

After hearing this I think I'm no longer anxious to get my piano tuned.... I'm starting to love the out of tune sound !!! So magical.... 🌹💜

I love the way it sounds

I listen to this over and over. You feel the emotion in the piece.

Beyond description , immeasurable and unfathomable .

I know I’m late but thank you for making this. I was looking for this on an out of tune piano. Thanks for playing this!

had me crying too this , truly a beautiful piece...

just something about out of tune pianos gets me, it makes me feel like the piano being played is so well loved and used

This sounds absolutely beautiful!!! Pianos out of tune have such a haunting feeling to them

i love out of tune piano, it feels like a wasteland with a lil bit of charm left to it

I love this, I've listened to it over and over for a while now.

this is majestic man. you earned yourself a sub from this video alone.

I love out of tune pianos, they bring out the emotions and the feeling of any piece. And sound beautiful.

Such beauty! Thank you for this magnificent interpretation!

Best out of tune piano piece,it just fits amazingly well.

This was really wonderful :)

Reminds me when I played Bioshock as a kid for some reason. The playing is absolutely beautiful and sends chills (the good kind) down my spine. I myself play guitar, but this makes me want to learn piano. I hope you keep making videos like this. (Sorry for breaking your 420 sub count lol)

I love it ❤️🎶

It’s just so hypnotic to my ears.

Nice man!❤

this makes me so sad, yet so calm

This gave me flashbacks to watching my girlfriend doing a playthrough of The Evil Within 2 while we were long distance over the summer. Thank you so much for a little glimpse of a time I really adored.

OMG I LOVE SO MUCH THE SOUND OF THE UNTUNED PIANO IDK WHY I THINK NOSTALIGIA. AMAZING GREAT JOB!

the way i almost cried from the first note

Feels like im going insane in a quirked up way. What a vibe

The sound reminds me of "Your Lie in April," how the main character stops hearing the notes as he is playing, like he's underwater. For anyone who hasn't heard of the anime, you should definitely watch it, it'll be worth your time.

RIP DEBUSSY AYYYYYYYYYYYY

POV: You're flying through a nebula cloud at sub-light speeds

This music is so perfect and unique one day I want to make music in this style for my game.

out of tune pianos feel like an anomaly you can play the most beautiful song on one and it will sound nostalgic and like it wasn’t meant for you to hear is simple words it reminds me of forgetting

Playing a masterpiece on an out-of-tune instrument tells me, that no matter what your playing on, a masterpiece is still beautiful, its not bad, its unique.

You deserve more recognition 👏

If there's one song I wish I could listen to for the first time again it would be this

Underrated

Just wait till the Danganronpa fandom finds out this exists

i'm going to jump through a stained glass window this shit goes hard

This song is so GOOD! This is played super well I love this!

It sounds cool

Wow!

I don’t know why but attitude pianos give me that sort of uncanny valley vibe but at the same time there’s somehow calming it’s like weird core or like stuck in a liminal space

this is really pretty!

Dissonance is a beautiful thing.

Out of tune pianos feel so nostalgic and gives me a sensation of fear for some reason as well

I listened to this song a year ago back in may and it helped me feel better because my grandma was in the hospital after suffering a stroke and I wasnt able to see her in person because i was a year too young to enter the hospital room because they dont want kids making too much noise or other disturbances so you had to be 12+ to enter and i was 11 at the time so this helped me calm down so thank you :) I came back to listen to this because of today, July 5th, it had been an entire year since her death. She had survived the stroke and was able to go back home but wasnt expected to survive by the end of the year. It was painful for her because she had to stay in a bed all the time and she had bed sores but she kept on fighting for 2 more months so she could see all of her family for the last time before deciding to take her final leave. My mom was in the room with my grandma, her own mother, when she died that morning and some of my other family members were there (my grandpa, my aunt, and one of my uncles.) It was a sad thing to hear when my dad told us the news but at least my grandma wasnt in pain anymore. I want to give my mom a hug today but she has covid 19 so I can't. :(

Clair de lune my beloved

Sounds like the 80's mappy game. I like this kind of music. Its really interesting.

I want this and sunshower by Chris Cornell played at my funeral

It feels like a dream unraveling into a somewhat familiar nightmare

It’s almost like it sounds in your memories

Hallelujah

awesome

an out of tune piano give the song more color, it feels more realistic, it feels...right. an out of tune piano could make thousands of people weep by the snap of a finger. it’s so beautiful, yet so sad. it gives nostalgia, tears, beauty, love, and melancholy.

reading karina's last days to this and it's an experience i recommend

Out of tune pianos are on another level

when you see someone happier than you

It reminds me of the cover that you hear in evil within when infront of the mirrors or in the hospital, of course it doesn’t have the violin but still, it’s beautiful

Woah

It makes sense why it would sound so good with the over tones and undertones

i feel the need to trek through an abandoned castle to this tune then fight a red robot with my exact skillset to the death.

조율되지 않은 피아노의 음색은 더 몽환적이고 신비롭게 들리네요 그래서 더 좋네요

I can’t read sheet music so I just memorize the chords as a kid, Clair de lune is the only song I know how to play in just the first half😂. Just now realizing that my piano is out of tune because it sounds exactly like this

Eargasm!

I don't know, if there's any other instrument that actually sounds beautiful out of tune

this song always reminds me of evil within

kaede i miss u.

This reminded me of the second stage of Everywhere At The End Of Time Almost made me tear up

As a dangonronpa fan this sounds so empty but happy at the same time I knew this song before Dangonronpa but I am happy they used this in the game

This is amazing Lol it sometimes reminds me or a saloon like piano if you know what I mean XD No hate btw! Have an awesome day! :)

Filthy frank has superglued this song into my brain
