Original Song - Inverted Cathedral
มุมมอง 47หลายเดือนก่อน
Last one, I promise. This is my second favorite song I've come up with. I based this song heavily off of classic Castlevania music, so there may be some recognizable motifs. This is also the first song I've made that uses synths, and I've realized there is plenty to learn about synth design and modulation.
Original Song - Ebb and Flow, Come and Go
มุมมอง 76หลายเดือนก่อน
Ok, I'm almost done uploading originals. This one's an idea from a couple years ago that I never got to recording until now. It's a simple song to play, it's mostly just 2-5-1 progression, 7th chords, and a couple melodic runs. But what makes it interesting to me is the chorus' chords and harmony. If I put some more effort into the specific piano notes and change up the accompaniment, I could p...
Original Song - Dry Spells
มุมมอง 31หลายเดือนก่อน
This one is actually a fifth original I came up with a week ago. Someone asked that I make an intro song for their DnD campaign. The song includes elements of their overarching story: The players are in a desert world and get blown away by a sandstorm, to a mysterious place. Apparently, the sun of that world is a living thing and is crashing down to the planet, causing the land to become a fier...
Bleach (OP) - Harukaze [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 182หลายเดือนก่อน
I was having trouble picking the next anime song to cover, but someone in the Discord suggested a Bleach song. After listening to each OP and ED I selected Harukaze, OP 15. I've never watched Bleach so I have no idea what's happening in the story when this opening plays. I changed up the song structure a little bit, mainly because I find the first 8 bars really boring. There are also some reall...
Original Song - Coming to Term
มุมมอง 54หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a really short melodic idea I had. In my opinion it wasn't enough for an orchestration or anything too complex, but I thought it could work as a music box lullaby. It was surprisingly challenging to make the music box sound authentic with the changing tempos and off-rhythm notes. I'll be uploading the anime synthesia video really soon.
Original Song - Chilly Autumn Morning
มุมมอง 28หลายเดือนก่อน
The first of four originals I'm uploading. I originally came up with the idea on piano and planned to record it as it was, but I had the opportunity to record my acoustic guitar and it ended up a lot better in my opinion. Hope it gives you a comfy vibe.
Dragon's Dogma 2 - True End Credits Theme [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 308หลายเดือนก่อน
Based on a comment from the last video, I decided to do a quick arrangement of the true end credits theme from Dragon's Dogma 2. I didn't do anything crazy with this one, I focused on keeping the calm vibe of the original. It didn't seem fitting to throw things in just because. I've got another anime arrangement finished and rendering, so that should be uploaded soon. I also have 4 originals th...
Dragon's Dogma - OST Medley [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 8654 หลายเดือนก่อน
I mentioned a while ago that I was thinking of doing a Dragon's Dogma medley. At first, I meant for it to be a ~5 min speedrun of the main themes but then I decided to expand it a bit. Though in hindsight I could have focused less on reiterating the main theme and done some more fight themes instead. It's one of my favorite RPGs, and I'm absolutely hyped for the sequel coming out later this mon...
Persona 4 OST - Heaven [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 3746 หลายเดือนก่อน
I managed to get this one finished before the end of the year. Hope you all have a great holiday season. I haven't played the Persona games but I definitely enjoy the jazzy vibe of the soundtracks. The first time through the verse/chorus I stick to the normal instrumentation, but after that I played around a bit with reharmonization and rhythm. After taking another look at it, one thing I think...
Original Song - Startling Deceit
มุมมอง 26411 หลายเดือนก่อน
This song went through a ton of iterations, as it's my first time really playing around with minor major 7ths. There are still a couple areas I would like to edit, though I figured if I got too much into the weeds with this I would never get to uploading it. Spoilers for Bravely Default below: The concept for this was based on a scenario kinda like in Bravely Default, where you beat the final b...
Original Song - A Long Journey's Respite
มุมมอง 14511 หลายเดือนก่อน
This was a basic idea I had a while ago, just verses and choruses. And then I realized that the verse melody is a round and that the verse and chorus could be played on top of one another. So the last couple measures ended up pretty busy. The main vibe I was going for was a traveler getting back home after a long journey, before needing to set off again.
NieR - Song of the Ancients [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 2.5K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
For a recent request, I did another song from the NieR series (I'm always up to do those OSTs). I hit a massive creative wall towards the end but tried incorporating some elements from all of the versions of this song. I'm also still working out some kinks in my new music-making setup and the piano sound. I'll choose the next song from the list of older requests. Shoutout to nyakkun for making ...
Original Song - Reluctant Ascent
มุมมอง 121ปีที่แล้ว
This is a bit off course from what I normally do, but I thought it would be fun to play around with some original ideas and using more instruments. It's not exactly meant to be a fully finished song, just an idea that I expand on a bit with an orchestral-like arrangement. If it's something you guys enjoy I have multiple other ideas like this in the works. Also, any thoughts on the logo? I think...
Chainsaw Man (OP) - KICK BACK [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 376ปีที่แล้ว
I'm very surprised it only took me 2 weeks. It wasn't as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it would be, mainly because the ideas I could have were pretty limited since the tempo's so high. I think I was still able to change things up a little bit though. I was thinking of doing a Dragon's Dogma medley next, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Kingdom Hearts OST - Hikari (Piano Only) [Synthesia]
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
It's literally the same arrangement, but I took out the other instruments to make it easier to hear. For future songs, if I need to do something similar, I might just put both versions in the same video to make things more organized. Next up is the Chainsaw Man OP. It's gonna be a pain in the ass but I knew I wanted to do it when I heard it. After that I'm thinking of doing a medley from Dragon...
Amazing
Gratificant😊
ありがとうございます!
I really like this one. You made it sound a lot jazzier when you slide across the keys like that
Is this even playable?
Is there a particular section you're concerned about? There are some parts that require extreme stretches in the left hand (that five note chord at 0:18, for example) but were still playable for me. Keep in mind I'm not a super great pianist, so when I arrange I'll sometimes record both hands together, sometimes both hands separately. But theoretically, everything should be playable.

The sun is just starting to rise... I think I'll go for a walk now, haven't done that in a while...
Listening to this at a chilly not-autumn morning morning still hits different! This is somehow sounding really nostalgic to me, reminds me of the long bygone days I spent playing mario kart ds as a child... perhaps something about this composition reminds me of the mkds soundtrack...
Ah yes, the track with the genius title!
Glad you decided to upload this! 3:21 I'll remember that arpeggio for my improvisations, it just sounds so good!
"They're masterworks, all. You can't go wrong" love the transitions and the touches you added to the songs. Truly a masterwork.
Simply magnificent! Do you think it's possible to do Theishter's Nier: Replicant - Ashes of Dreams! ?
While it would be pretty easy to make a midi vid of his arrangement, I won’t for two reasons: 1. I already made an arrangement for that song. 2. It’s my policy to not use other’s arrangements for my uploads. The only exception is my first video, which used a lot of ideas from Animenz’s Unravel arrangement.
Yo jflo will be texting you soon!
Listening this first this in the morning while on the train, commuting to school, makes me weirdly introspective... Also if you ever arrange los los los, that'd be amazing! I remember trying to improvise with it a few years ago and it didn't really go anywhere so I'd love to see what you can do with the song!
Imma be having some good dreams from this :comfy:
Just realized Cassardis reminds me of the astral laboratory theme from Majora's Mask.
These sound good! DD2 ost doesn't sound as memorable as DD1's imo except for... The credit song. I would love to see a piano arrangement for it. Ngl, it got me hard
Thanks! I think I could make an arrangement of that song pretty quickly, it didn’t seem complicated
So sad we didnt hear a version of eturnal return in DD2 that melody is what i think whrn i think of "Dragon's Dogma"
Truuue, great melody and harmony vocals. It really gave off the fantasy rpg vibe, especially the version that plays in the open world
They really dropped the ball with the music in DD2. No leitmotifs to speak of, no references to previous installment, and most of the tracks are just generic fantasy strings and wardrums. It's such a shocking downgrade to be honest.
the delightful and ever-novel pleasure of a useless occupation but this is not useless. Thankyou very much
Absolutely gorgeous -- guessing no chance of sheets for this one? Hope you're enjoying DD2. My biggest beef so far is lack of electric guitars in the music :)
Sorry, I don't have sheets for this. I agree tho about the guitars. I was particularly hoping for 'Into Free' to show up somewhere in the soundtrack, but I was also 99% sure it'd never happen without mods.
incredible as always
This is so beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful performance. This is one of my all-time favorite games. Hearing these made me almost cry from all the happy memories and adventures I've had. Here's to Dragon's Dogma 2 🎉
that's fantastic!
Thanks!
This is the most amazing arrangement on youtube by far! All others don‘t get the accents at all!
Beautiful bro 🤯
Thanks
Wow! You even did farhalla of fate my phantasm at the start!
Amazing as always J! I finished P4G this year and love the OST's from this franchise haha
Thanks, I appreciate it
I lost it bro :) that was so beautiful i cant explain my appreciation. Thank you man
It is so good
2:05 I fell in love
Dude it's amazing. It's a very good mix between both versions. Do you have sheet for this ?
Thanks! I'm sorry, but I don't. I learn, play, and arrange by ear/memory and I'm not very good with sheet music. But all I did was basically merge the two, with a couple changes to tempo and dynamics. If you can find the sheet music for both versions, you'd be able to play this as well.
@@j-flosenpai ok np! Very good keep going!
1:08
cant describe how beautiful this song for me :(
truly incredible arrangement! do you intend on releasing sheets? this would be an absolute wonder to learn & play
Your arrangements are always the best!
Amazing
Love the journey this takes us one, it’s like being in a wonderful fantasy land of joy 🙏🏾 I hit the like & subscribe button! I hope the joy you have for your craft continues to shine through ur music and lead to more opportunities for you! I create too so I luv to see us all do well! Never stop!🙏🏾
Reminds me a bit of Octopath Traveler. Sounds really nice
Would you make the midi file available? I would love to play this piece!
Always been looking for arrangements for this one. Thank you
Izumi D.C best version
The Tyler part lmao. Crazy good arrangement.
Your channel truly is a joy! It is VERY rare to find a musician with such talent. There are many anime and piano pianists out there but very very few play to the quality that you achieve. Please keep uploading, I'm sure, soon enough, your work will get the recognition it deserves! (also loved the bonus Hollow dreams version at the end)
Where can i get the midi file to practice? <3
The first 40s sounds like a mixture of Peaceful Sleep and Voice of no Return from the NieR Automata soundtrack. I dig it! Its clear you had a lot of ideas and expansions as the song went on, which isn't a bad thing, but I'd love to hear some more focused songs (especially like the beginning)
Yep, I definitely prioritized getting all the ideas out. I might take that same intro and rework it into something else in the future but idk when. But I agree, for the originals I’m working on now I’m trying to find a middle ground of showing ideas and making things sound consistent.
Once there were trees full of birds, Meadowlands vibrant with flowers; Carefree the songs our children once sang Gilding our minutes and hours. Clouds came and covered the sun, The breath of a baleful unease Turning to ashes flowers in their fields, Silenced the birds in their trees. Hidden so deep in veils of deceit, Imprisoned in twisting spells - Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves? Strive till the phantoms are broken, Fight till the battle is done; The squadrons of night can't conquer the day, Nor shadows extinguish the sun. Stories of danger, fearless attack, Spectres of plague and pain. All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back; And we'll be haunted again, haunted again. For though the storms are over and past, Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn, Here to mourn. The night has left us crippled with grief As we strive to keep alive our belief, But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn. Hidden so deep in veils of deceit, Imprisoned in twisting spells - Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves? Stories of danger, fearless attack, Spectres of plague and pain. All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back; Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?
what a masterpiece
I only just found your stuff recently. I gotta say though, you are very talented and have wicked taste is video game music
Would love the sheet music!
underrated video , haven't seen the revival prophecy phantasm songs on piano anywhere else
Очень здорово!
