Pi, The Song With 3.1415 Million Notes 

0:00 "hey this isn't so bad, maybe i could learn to play this" 0:27 "oh fuck off"

Nine years later, still a banger.

Exactly one year ago today, I created what most people call the best Black MIDI in history. Thank you to everybody who shared this to others and got my name around. I still think this is my best Black MIDI ever. May the Black MIDI madness continue!

This is the best black MIDI ive ever heard ever. I wish this song was more mainstream. You know... like in itunes or songflip.

The streams of 3.141592 at 1:59-2:16 are a nice touch.

How to play this: 1. Get a piano. 2. Lie on it. 3. Do the worm.

2:16 this part is absolutely beautiful... if i come back, its just to listen to this amazing melody building up till the last drop of the song.

The boss battle music that plays when you have to fight the main villain who used to be your best friend but got corrupted by the forces of evil and now you have to put him down.

Oh my god the song is 3 minutes 14 seconds long

Happy Pi day, folks! Enjoy this wonderful 3,141,592 note remix by one of my great blacker friends. :D

This is one of the best Black MIDIs I've ever seen. Most seem to just focus on note count, not at all caring that it sounds terrible. This actually sounds good. And it's an original song, no less! Very well done!

Happy two-year anniversary to this beautiful Black MIDI :D

am i the only one that thinks this actually sounded good?

I just realized how amazing of a level background a 3d-rendered version of this would be for a Bullet-Hell game; where the piano was is lava or something and this giant structure being consumed by it IS the level soundtrack. It would take a few hundred years to model, but it would be SO worth it!

BEAUTIFUL

Uploaded the 3/14/15 I see what you did here 8)

simply the best black midi, and the only one that has an actual rythym.

happy pi day and 8th anniversary!

The amount of pleasure listening to this is incalculable. Thanks for making good music.

To play this, you must be in a different position than usual. Listen as instructed. As the song begins, play as you would normally. As the song progresses, quickly place your feet atop the piano keys and slowly being your weight down on it. Then add your face to the mixture. Eventually you shall lie horizontally on the piano and distribute your weight properly all while having sexual activity with the piano keys. You could even grab your nearest wild animal and start whipping it while it's dancing atop the piano. Amateurs may require some assistance for this next step. You may need this assistance from pets, siblings, spouses, family members, and other living creatures. All participating must flop around and about the piano like fish gasping for oxygen. This requires much practice so study to succeed. Any seizures that may be induced are encouraged. It is extraordinarily helpful that you try every drug on the market for this song to be executed as you please. It is recommended you take several times more caffeine than usual, during the performance. You may need to mentally prepare yourself for this hellish degree of playing. Others may assist you by dragging there faces where notes seem to be neglected. As others may have demonstrated, random children may be extremely helpful for this part, as they tend to be natural professionals at this. Try to maintain the steady pace of a cheetah who had its girlfriend stolen by a purple flying monkey. Many who attempt to complete this feat may be completely passed out by the end. However, if you were lucky enough to not be, good job. This has diagnosed you with cancer and you now have three days to live.

I love the extra detail you put in that translates to the meaning of Pi in morse code.

even after all these years it still sounds like a boss theme

This is the single most impressive piece of MIDI I have ever seen. It's both an engaging song and a captivating dance. Bravo.

Proud to showcase another one of my beautiful works of art! Please, if you will, tell me how you liked this midi, and maybe throw out some ideas for my next Black MIDI!

I'm pretty sure these are the directions on how to play this song: Transform into a 200 legged squid, then have a seizure.

So I just stumbled across black midi by browsing through RU-vid and have been looking for hours and I have to say. Of everything I've seen your original compositions are the most gorgeous to look at and easy to listen to black midi I've found. And in my mind that makes you the best!

This is the most incredible piece...I just can't stop listening to it.

The notes are spaced perfectly to sound amazing. Thank you for this eye-watering piece of music.

Okay, I figured it out. Theoretically, if you were to record yourself playing a single key from this song, then record you playing the next key, and do this until you have recorded yourself playing all 3.1415 million notes, and then compile these recordings together into one sound file, this song will have technically been played by one person. Edit: Now all we need is someone willing to do all that crap.

So will there ever be a recreation of this song that isnt a train wreck of notes? Its a beautiful song but i wish there was a version actually played on piano with a normal amount of notes.

This is so awesome wow O.O

To this day, this is one of, if not THE, best black midis out there and one that melts my computer whenever I try to play it in it's midi form.

Hey guys! I'm not dead!! I'm working on a really late 5k, but life has been holding me back. I'll get 5k up ASAP and I'm sure you all will love it. -tsmb2

Out of all the black midi songs ive heard, this is the only one ive heard that actually sounds good.

Pi... 3.14159 This song goes on for 3:14 mins and seconds... Well done

This is actually the greatest Black Midi I've ever heard. It Cause me an incredible mix of feelings. Great Job dude, it's just amazing ;)

Just added a download link to my FLP of Pi!

I counted how many fingers it would take less than 5

1:50 no way that many notes sound that good

this is actually like the best black midi i have heard to date

The video is 3:14 long too.

Looks amazing and manages to still sound amazing. This will never be beaten

I forgot how good this song is

I love how you can make these sound so nice and also look pretty nice. other black midi things ive seen just sound like static

I just found out about this genre. I was pleasantly surprised that my computer didn't explode when I watched this. Although, seriously, out of the few Black Midis I've heard, this is one of the best.

this is flowkey the best thing i've heard all day

there will be a day when this has 3.1415 million views

man i gotta say... you are the next lvl of music. Keep up the good work!

The song has 3.14 million notes, the song lengh is 3:14

This is why smashing your piano actually makes good music

"I can play that..." **Watches the rest** "Can you kill me yet?"

A black Midi witch sounds amazing. Now that's something new, great work man its the best I heard until now.

Really well done. And for a black midi, it also sounds really nice on the ears. :3

This is really beautiful. Its nice to see original compositions in black midi. Most of what i see published on RU-vid consists of video game music.

Is there any way to hear these songs before they've been... blacked? I absolutely adore the song, and would gladly pay money for it, but the parts where it sounds like a thousand screaming pianos make it hard to listen to on the bus ride home.

Sounds like the intro to a 70s/80s TV show... I love it!

im pretty sure some of the notes are completely silent

wow 3:14 duration, man congrats i glad that music exist

So then I found out you could transfer MIDIs to FL Studio lets have some fun hehe

I love this song , this melody . I have looped two days.

Wow your very creative!!! And I think the other video got more views cuz it had I little bit better quality and sound and color lol, if u did it on the same program as the other video you would of gotta more views ^v^

I'm addicted to this black MIDI!!! I wish I could learn how to make one XD

is your pc a nasa system what the fuck

This is my favorite song, and I keep coming back to replay the video

That video length doe

You created this!? AWESOME! THUMBS UP!

realistic note art!!!! what soundfont is this?

added to my HOLY TABBYS AMAZING THEMES playlist

i would get 50 other people and pianos to do this at a concert

This is amazing. Both musically and visually! Of course, it _is_ 2:30am, so I could just be hallucinating. BUT STILL. Great job 8/8 m8

It's been 2 months and no news for 5k.....

Holy shit. Dedicated is right, I just noticed that you spell out 3.1415 like five times in a row in there at 1:59

An Asian can play this with their fucking eye.

It kinda matches everything you add that its made in March (3) - 14 (14) - 2015 (15), 3,141,592 Notes, and the Time (3:14.1).

Is it bad that I JUST NOW realized that TSMB2 stands for TheSuperMarioBros2?

You even ended the piece at 3:14.. this piece is just intense and awesome O_O

Goddamnit creator, you made it 3:14 minutes long ._.

This is amazing. Best thing you have ever made, TSMB2!

Do you have the piano sheets? I want to do a piano cover in my keyboard.

Man I can't believe I forgot about this song! I'm glad it's still up.

What is the software for rendering this midi? I can't get it to work on synthesia without the computer exploding.

never saw something that hypnotic and visually atractive.

did it took you 3.14 years to do this?

Congratulations! You get 6.000 subscribers!

What the fuck am i watching

日本では殆ど知られてないけど、個人的にはかなり好きな曲。オリジナル曲(?)とは思えない素晴らしい完成度だし、 円周率に因んで314万ノーツという、人間には到底弾けない凄まじい密度でありながら、曲としては一切破綻していない。 重低音で疑似的にドラムの音を表現している所や、1:34から来る螺旋状のノーツは、黒譜面系の曲ならではの美しさ。 この曲がもっと知られて、ニコ動などに転載されていれば、真っ黒ナイトオブナイツに並ぶ人気を得られたかも知れない。

I counted and there are 3.2415 Million Notes

this is incredible. honestly

Video length is 3:14 xD

You even made it 3 minutes and 14 seconds long. You are my hero.

if u pause at 2:07, u will see a mcdonalds sign

Fantastic work. I wanted to say that your original creations are all excellent and I have them all recorded on my walkman. Keep on making awesome stuff like this!

This will always be my favorite black midi. Like seriously, this is my fucking jam.

I still can't stop listening to this song to this day!

would like the hear the song not made of only piano notes but the "normal" version with beats and drums and all that :) it's really an epic song, love it!

music, an element strong enough to move billions of souls through a simple melody. You my sir, put this to an extreme never reached before.

This should be the song with 3.1415 million likes, or at least 3.1415 million views. T'was nice to listen to. :)

2017... Still.. the best... coolest song... I've ever heard... If only this be more popular.. I hope there is cover for this song.. Its cool... deep.. and beautifull at the same time.. This... is a real.. Master Piece..

I Like How You Merged All Of The Arts At The End.
