- Gold Pilot, composed by First Turn Fold, arranged by me. If you liked it, please like and subscribe on TH-cam. If you're on Tumblr, you can follow me at: / dothemusicything
Sheet music: drive.google.com/file/d/1LmdY...
The original version of Gold Pilot was used in [S] Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 1, and is on coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A: homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/c... The piece belongs to First Turn Fold; Homestuck belongs to Andrew Hussie. I am merely a fan.

Somehow, the pure piano rendition adds a somewhat melancholic feel to the piece. Very nice to listen to while looking for something calming late at night.
JerichoDeath I'm glad that came through - the Psiioniic's story is rather tragic, and Jade and Bec (who First Turn Fold originally wrote the piece about) are not allowed to remain so cheerful as they are in the early acts. Thanks for listening!
holy shit you even got the glitchy parts right! I hope one day I'm as good at piano as you.
The glitchy parts are important - I couldn't arrange it and leave them out.
Do The Musicy Thing I have mad respect for you.
Stumbling upon this nearly two years after the fact is like finding the keys to a brand-new car with a metal detector on the beach. It's like plundering a ruin and finding an ancient treasure. Like looking in your fridge and remembering you've still got that leftover pizza that you thought you'd eaten all of.
What I'm trying to say here is that I really enjoy this. Wish I could've been there when this was released, so I could hype with the others. Excellent work.
Glad you found it and liked it!
It's like finding a bottle of unopened apple juice in your closet. It's like Christmas.
+Baylie3x FEEIIISHH Recruit slick dude
Ego what if the apple juice is piss?
mate i'm 5 years late thats even worse
coming back to this after so many years is something i just cant describe. partly a time capsule but also just a freaking insane composition. i may forget sometimes, but homestuck music (and by extension, your arrangements) will always stick with me. wherever you are now, you have immense skill and talent and i hope you can put that to use.
Regina (TH-cam won't let me reply directly to your comment) - No, this is at real speed. It has some rather fast parts (and probably some parts I played faster than I should have), but this is how quickly I played it. The only alterations were that I added reverb (because the room didn't have much of it) and tried to improve the color balance of the video (which doesn't affect sound or speed).
...Wow.
Usually, piano covers of songs like this lose something because you're trying to do something that has many different types of instruments with only a piano.
But with this one, I forgot I was even listening to a cover in some parts of the song.
Granted, there definitely was a small section or two that didn't sound quite right, but those are easy to forget about.
Very nicely done.
***** Thank you! Thats what I'm going for these - conveying the effect of the original piece. And sometimes doing that requires a slightly less literal arrangement in favor of something taking advantage of the sonority of the piano.
Haunting yet comforting. Dark yet Beautiful. Truly a wonderful song.
Still after all these years this rendition of the song makes me tear up and gives me mad chills. (and after all these years i'm still utterly unable to play it myself 😅)
I watched this video about a few months after it was made, I still revisit to this day because this is the video that I found so beautiful I wanted to learn piano because of it. And I'm a newbie but I started
i believe in you! you got this
This sounds so beautiful, it aids in helping me fall asleep yet it jerks my heart cause I know homestuck is over. But I know there are still fans of it and it will last for a long time, especially with the possibility of hiveswap.
There will be fans for a very long time - while posts about it will gradually become sparser (until the possible epilogue, Hiveswap, etc.) I do think it will be increasingly seen as being historically important.
Hiveswap as officially been annouced ^_^
Wait really?
yes
It comes out in a week :DDD
Truly magnificent. I prefer the piano version more than the original.
Abrail Zelkri Wow...thank you.
This is so beautiful. I've always loved Gold Pilot, but I never really appreciated its beauty until now. The composer did an amazing job of adapting the glitching from Caliborn's stardust spill. Thank you for including the sheet music. I can't wait to learn this!
LeonardMeltsner Thank you! I hadn't really appreciated it properly until I heard it used in comic, but then it kept growing on me...and thus the arrangement. Best of luck learning it!
When i heard what little of it was in comic i ignored it. It was actually LuminantAegis who brought my attention to it. Its an amazing song
Especially on the piano. Good job +Do The Musicy Thing
Even when i ignored a few notes and focused on the most important ones, this song is still incredibly tricky to play and I haven't been able to play it through cleanly! Or like. At all. I only know the first, say, minute or two? After that I sorta gave up, I don't have a whole lot of patience.
That said, this is amazing! You can really nail those fast shifts, which is incredible.
patience yields focus my dude
i feel you so hardcore
I feel like this is a funeral song for homestuck but as we all know well everything must die before it god tiers.
@carp jade died twice before she god tiered so there is still hope yet!!
how do people play the piano, it amazes me.
Geez... ~5 years later and I still love listening to this. Even after my homestuck phase this is still great.
What matters more, after the death of something great, is not the life it lived but instead the life it gave to others.
It's so cool how this gives me chills just like the original (and now I know that it's not just the dizzying stereo tricks).
Yeah, First Turn Fold did a very good piece in the notes, not just in stereo shenanigans. First Turn Fold has done music since Gold Pilot - I recommend listening to the recent music on his Soundcloud.
This is one of my fave Homestuck songs/OST thingies and when I found this I honestly teared up a little, you are absolutely bloody amazing I have not stopped listening to this all day. I would have this played at my damn funeral.
XxStrike2000xX Thank you! I really appreciate it (as always, credit to First Turn Fold for composing the piece in the first place). Hopefully you're a rather long while away from your corpse party.
Haha well, death is always around the corner, you never know. Not to get this convo all depressing n all LOL Thanks again!~
2022 and still coming back to this. I remember being in middle school playing this while doing homework.
Happy Homestuck anniversary to whoever sees this ; w ; 💙❤💜💚
💖💕💛💖💕AND THANK YOU for making this video ;____;💖💕💛💖💕 I love this song so much, It was one of my favorites when i was reading HS I'm so grateful to be able to hear a piano version 💛💖💕🤧🙏💛💖💕
This is incredible! I couldn't imagine this song being more hauntingly beautiful, and then I found your piano version of it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us :)
+Lore & Fablery Thank you for listening!
I admire your ability to faithfully recreate digital music into piano music.
Same.
Omg I LITERALLY cried at how good you are! This is my number one favourite OST from Homestuck and you just made it better 'cause I'm in love with music played on a piano. I even have a keyboard myself. Omg I can't get over the fact how good you are ;w; ❤
Thank you! First Turn Fold did well composing this track. (Also, as you like Gold Pilot, you might want to check out the recent tracks First Turn Fold's soundcloud - they're not Homestuck, but also good.)
Do The Musicy Thing I'll definetly check it out! Keep on playing that piano ;) *ps Idownloadedthisasamp3fileandIlistentoitwhileworking*
holy shit this is amazing how am i only just finding this
This is so painfully beautiful I don't even know what to do with myself.
Just finished learning your Moonsetter arrangement, this one looks like a fun step up!
Holy shit that gave me chills. That was amazing.
GameFactor Thanks for listening!
I'm just starting to learn piano, and this would be a fantastic piece to work towards - the arrangement is beautiful
Crying like a baby here
+DoTheMusicyThing This is amazing! This is so inspiring, I showed this to my grandpa (who is a pianist) and he showed me the basics of the piano. I've done percussion for 3 and a half years so I know all the notes and how to play it, but this is going to be my motivation to get better if I get my own piano. Thanks so much for making this, you are an amazingly talented person and a terrific musician :)
+Riley Berens Thank you! Good luck learning piano - percussion should have trained you a lot in flexible musicianship, so that'll help.
+Do The Musicy Thing Yes it has, thank you so much! I wanted to ask you one thing though; what got you into piano?
There was a piano in the house, so...at some point (when I was around 6) I started playing.
God even after all these years your piano covers are still amazing, I think I'll be listening to your work for as long as I live.
This piece is absolutely beautiful, and the way you capture it in your arrangement is magnificent. I'm aspiring to be a composer when I get into college. I already arrange music to the best of my ability, but your music drives me to arrange songs of such a higher level. The notations you write in there along with the piece makes it so descriptive and beautiful, as if it already wasn't. And even your playing is beautiful. Bravo, sir.
Sebastian Portier-Young Thanks - I really appreciate it. Keep composing!
This is gorgeous
thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this. Your rendition is incredibly beautiful! Seriously, it's people like you who make this fandom come alive for me.
Thanks! I'm glad people like listening to these; it makes them worth the time that has to go into them.
Wow! Crazy how Homestuck fandom was so big, I'm finding gems years and years after they were made. This rendition moved me to tears - stunning work.
this is so amazing omg
Aradia Megido Thanks! Double pistols and a ;)
THIS IS THE BEST PIANO COVER IVE EVER HEARD! The emotion put into this is astonishing and I'm just absolutely in love with it. Thank you so much for making this for us.
Sometimes I ask myself why I'm still learning piano. It's this.
Instant subscribe. Just... holy shit, if I didn't just see that I wouldn't think it was possible. This is the first time I've ever regretted stopping my piano lessons.
+howlingarmadillo this makes me want to take piano lessons
+howlingarmadillo Thanks! It's definitely worth taking/continuing to take lessons for a while to get started. While I'm not currently taking piano lessons (composition is my main focus), I did for about 12 years, and couldn't have learned the necessary technique without them.
dUde, yoU totally rock! i started a read pretty recently, already on the fin-ishing chapters, just a meowter of time BEFORE I CAN FINALLY STOP READING LIKE SERIOUSLY I HAD TO SPEND OVER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THIS COMIC IS SO LOOOONG.
In all seriousness, this is a nice cover! I really liked it!
this is incredibly beautiful. if i could add videos to my favorites more than once, i'd have done that to this video.
Thank you!
Wow. Just wow. This is the first Musicy Thing I've witnessed, and wow. Color me amazed. Lovely arrangement.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for sharing the sheet music! I’m gonna try this
If the original is badass, this one is beautiful. Thank you for this rendition of the song.
This was,, surprisingly beautiful. Awesome work!!
Literal chills... incredible cover.
it just gets better and better, wow! i am blown away!
This is an absolutely beautiful cover, and I find myself unable to stop listening to it. You did a wonderful job.
You gave me goosebumps with this piece of art here
It is so beautiful! I even cant say how many times I listened this song.
Yay! I love this song. It's one of my favourites and you do it justice. Thank you!
+ChildOfCreationCosplay 3 Thank you! First Turn Fold composed a very good piece.
This is so beautiful! Seriously, this was so well done! Kudos to you, doll! Very lovely.
In love with this
OMG how didn't I find this any time sooner! This is one of my favorite musics in all of Homestuck's bandcamp and this rendition is simply breathtaking :o definitely gonna check out the rest of your work!
This is the most relaxing thing to listen to. Ever.
Ive watched a good few of your piano arrangements, and I must admit it that the feelings stirred from hearing you piano skills have me astounded. You do such amazing work and have such amazing skills. I really wish more heard and liked you videos. They are very much worthy of it. I had my eyes glued to your hands the whole time and they effort put into something like that should really be praised. Thank you for sharing your talent and I really hope to see some more from you.
Hermoso :'3 es realmente hermoso.. la verdad es que me encanta que haya gente que se detenga a pensar en Homestuck y hacer estas cosas ...
Thank you for this!!
This is incredibly impressive. Kudos to you, friend; I just love this.
I WANT TO CRY THIS IS BEAUTYFUL
This is my fave Homestuck song and I've always wanted to hear a cover on piano of it.
This arrangement it's so beautifully played!!
Judy Helena Thanks - First Turn Fold composed an excellent piece.
Absolutely love this cover! Beautifully arranged and played
Thank you - I'll keep doing these arrangements.
This is beautiful
This is one of my favorite songs from Universe A album...great cover!
subversiveasset Thanks! First Turn Fold composed a great piece.
BRAVO , BRAVO!!!!!! never before have i heard such an amazing rendition of an already amazing song! well done!
Jason Dusk Thanks! It was indeed an excellent piece to begin with, and I'm glad I was able to capture some part of that.
Daaaaamn this is beautiful af man keep up the good work!
Well done, this is just perfect!
This is absolutely breathtaking! :o
This is a beautiful rendition, and very technically impressive to boot. I mean, that stuff at the beginning with the crossing hands... just looking at it makes things three times better.
+David Brickey Thank you! I appreciate it.
AAH THIS IS BEYOND GORGEOUS AND YOU'RE SO TALENTED
Isabel Garcia I agree!
How do I like this more than once
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this.
Mistress Maiden Thanks! Much of the credit goes to First Turn Fold for composing the original piece.
+Do The Musicy Thing Of course, of course. This is just a beautiful rendition of it. :)
I'm seriously really impressed on how you arranged that those rhythms ain't easy and it sounds incredible
Jenny Gan It is indeed not easy, but I'm glad it came out well. Thanks for listening!
beautiful
I love this so much!
KeyBladeChaserVen Thanks! First Turn Fold's original was very good material to work with.
Wonderful!
God god. I'll be sure to learn this in due time, but I doubt I'll convey as much emotion as you do here. You're an amazing musician! I'll be sure to look up to you for inspiration.
VintageLemomade Thank you - Honestly, a lot of what is perceived as emotion in performers is just them understanding (whether intellectually or instinctively) what's happening in the music. And then caring enough about the piece to bring that out. So study music theory and generally seek to understand what you're playing, and you will convey emotion.
It was the best five minutes of my life. This is really awesome. Thank you so much
Thank you! First Turn Fold composed an very good piece.
holy shit this thing gave me chills. I love it
+artisticCatastrophe Thank you! First Turn Fold composed a very good piece.
Great work.
You have amazing talent. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks! I will.
this is so perfect. i already love the original song to bits and to find such a good piano version of it just fnksfjnsmamsmdmadk its so well done i listen to this all the time
Allison Lund The original is excellent - it's a bit tricky to fit into two hands on piano, but eventually I worked it out. Thanks for listening!
Really Good!
It's.Perfect.
I arranged Carne Vale and now I'm thinking about arranging this. You played it very well!
Thanks! What did you arrange Carne Vale for?
For fun, I suppose. Really just to try to gain some experience.
Do The Musicy Thing for achiving godly pianist skills you soar to the rank of "musical philosipher"(whatever that even means) take that rank with pride my good sir!
Thank you!
that was beautiFUL
Leoxelli Thanks! I really like the original (while I doubt it will happen, I hope that Hussie will use the rest of the original Gold Pilot in the gigaupd8.)
This is awesome! Great arrangement! :D
DawnofElement94 Thanks - First Turn Fold composed a great piece.
Oh my goodness. I mean I knew I loved this song before, but hearing it in a piano rendition just made it THAT much more lovable!!! I play piano as well and I must say you played the SH*T out of this song!! Amazing job!!!
Jordyn Glenn Thanks! It's an excellent piece, and I'm glad I was finally able to cover it.
This is so great! Probably one of my favourite covers by you :3
Thanks! It's definitely been the most popular (although Heir of Grief seems like it might catch up in a few months).
Do The Musicy Thing oh yeah XD I love heir of grief aswell but this is awesome XD
Good job dude! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'll keep making arrangements. It may be a while before the next
one is posted, because of school, but I will continue when I have time.
I hope to be able to do stuff like this one day, you are amazing! One of my favorite tracks in Homestuck putting my favorite instrument to the test and it was awesome! Seriously, I know that this more or less a cliche, but more Homestucks need to know about you. Also, every song on your channel is one of my favorites, I'm not even joking whenever I saw the pages that they were on I loved them instantly and you made me love them more.
Amazing work, you manage to make it more then just notes being played :)
Can't stop listening to this actually haha... You managed to make a beautiful version of this for piano.
Edit: poked through your tumblr and found the sheet music :D
+Kieran7931 Thank you! Glad you found the sheet music.
8 years since.
This is so great :D
Soo good
I appreciate you.
best idea ever: playing this in a loop
From the looks of it you are receiving a lot of well earned complements, and you deserve absolutely ever single one of them. This, what you are doing, displaying your talent for the people that sit at home and search for people like you to watch, is amazing. Whenever I listen to this, which is about everyday, I do in the morning and while I am doing work or something. It makes me feel calm, and patient. Makes me think of everything I have done, and what will I do. I am usually pessimistic, not much of an optimist, but this changes it all. My point, you are fantastic (so is your name) and I hope for you to get even more subscribers.
Ashe Scarlett Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Do The Musicy Thing No problem. It felt nice to say it!
You fine sir, have earned my respects :33
+1 subscription for your fantastic homestuck piano music!
:O THII2 II2 AMAZIING!!
