this is the last video on my favorite's huge list. every video come and go, but this one is here since 2007 when i first started using youtube. This video means something for me, thanks for the uploader, 10 years later your video is making a guy, far beyond think, and aprecciate and speechless, Thank you.
Thank you - this comment means a lot to me :) I didn't actually realise it's been 10 years! I'm really glad you're still enjoying the video after all this time.
Same here!! Must be amongst the three or four first videos I've ever seen here on YT. I've also joined in 2007 and your rendition of F-Zero never fails to have me headbanging along!!
I’m exactly the same as the original poster. It’s the first RU-vid video I ever favorited, and IRS the one that always stayed. I’m just sad there is wie a bit of background noise. Is there any chance of a 10 year anniversary edition with higher quality audio? Nothing on the Internet gets even close to your rendition.
Thanks so much for the comments :) MrMorris i know many of the songs form F-Zero but these 2 seemed to fit together best when i was working out the medley. Did actually try including a slow version of port town after big blue & before going back into mute city, but decided it sounded better to keep the tempo & lead straight back into mute city. Also, my right arm feels like it's gonna fall off toward the end of big blue so i can't carry on much longer than that!
Wow, just wow !! You are so talented. This is not just a copy of the original song but a true interpretation with heart, sound and tempo variations. This is magic. Love this song but a lot more since you played it. Thanks for this true piece of art
Hey, my thirteen year old granddaughter learned to play this by watching and listening to him play, It took her a while but she's finally got it. She's a little behind the speed with which Trople plays it but after several more times she'll have it... We all love to hear her play but Trople still reigns king. Dont/ tell her I said that.
OH MY GOD. O_O At 1:10 this was my exact reaction... So Amazing. I was loving it from the start but right at that moment... Jesus. I'm so impressed with your style. Its Awesome! 5 Stars & Favorited! Gotta show my cousin this...
After a long day racing, the drivers of the F-Zero go to the jazz club in Mute City, and hear this being played by the masterful pianist. You are that masterful pianist
If you buy the album off paulrahme.bandcamp.com you get a MIDI file of the F-Zero Medley with it! From there, it's only a matter of using Sibelius to make (hopefully readable) sheet music...
@sintality 1 year later, the album's finally out with studio quality recording - and includes a bonus MIDI file of this piece!! Check the video's description for details.
A few flubs I heard here and there, but overall this is an amazing show of talent and a wonderful arrangement of two of the best video game tracks ever written. Thank you for recording and posting this!
@BinarySudoku Yep, pity about that... i have since invested in a better webcam ;) The album version is studio quality tho (and a bonus MIDI file), check the video's description for the link!
Watching your hands dance around the piano creating this magnificent piece of art is really a pleasure. Excellent work. You clearly put a lot of time into this.
I have never seen anything like that before! Very original take on f-zero songs, beatifully played, arranged very well, the tempo changes were effective... it was just... one of the best things on youtube. Period. Definately in the top 5 versions of both tracks I have ever heard, which is really an incredible feat. You are ridiculously talented, I thank you fo putting this on here. 5 stars, faved, and subscribed. PLEASE for the love of all that is awesome can I have an mp3 of this?!
Thanks for the comments :) ZMaine: no sheet music, sorry. Gratch12826, lots of practice and took quite a few recordings to get one with as few wrong notes as possible.
The best mute city / big blue cover on youtube period. SOMEONE MAKE A SHEET MUSIC OF THIS WONDERFULL COVER FOR THE SAKE OF OF THE EPICNIESS , I WILL BUY IT O.O.
@35823582 ...which explains why I'm performing from my bedroom, not the Royal Albert Hall! Actually I could do a cleaner performance now, but probably still not without a random slip somewhere. If you listen to the album version (see the video's description), it's is a blend of 3 takes, so the wrong notes have been edited out. Thanks for the honest feedback - appreciated!
I put this in my favs time a long ago and just decided to watch it again, WAY more than 5/5 plus you played it by ear and not with music WAY more than 10/5
i like this because of how its a soft and peaceful,but when it gets to about to 3:38 , it gets very loud and full of action! its realy good! i will like it.
@killercrashFR Album version is in studio quality...and includes a bonus MIDI version of this! Check the video description for the download/order link.
that was fucking incredible. you have a real talent. every note was perfect; on timing, tone, and inflection. a lot of pianists play as robots with no feeling for the music. not you. that was great.
i contacted him but he never got back to me, so i figured i'd do my best and now i'm trying to learn directly from this video. So far i've gotten up to 0:17 and that took me 2-3 days of practice :O. Granted i haven't played piano in many years and was never really that focused on learning music, but i'm really determined for this song.
Man this is really awesome. Nearly impossible! I mean how can one single guy play like this by ear? F***ing great! Actually intended to post a comment much more early but I created my RU-vid account just a few minutes ago - finally.
