beautiful. i wish i had money. but after high-school when i get a job, i strive to be as skilled as you. in the meantime i can improve with what i have at school
5 years and still probably one of my favorite pieces. I come back pretty frequently to hear your pieces and hope you make many more. Also, I'm currently learning Moon and really enjoying it. Thanks once more for such amazing compositions. Jordan
I've been searching for a solo for my UIL solo contest in February and I was so happy when I found out this was on the UIL PML solo list. I love how magical this piece is and I cant wait to learn and perform it! Thank you for making such amazing works of art and inspiring me and many people with your music
It's really hard to put into words exactly how I feel about this piece. It's almost as if it is pushing ahead. I'm going through some tough times and I listen to this piece and am reminded that everything will be alright. It's okay to be who I am, even if that's not who I want to be. This is an amazing piece.
What a beautiful piece of music! It's so stimulating but still sounds so calming and peaceful at the same time. So beautiful. It paints such vivid imagery. Absolutely love it!
Truly wonderful music! I have followed you for a while now, you really are underrepresented for the amount of time and effort you put into these videos. This piece inspired me to write my first piece for Marimba.
I am a freshman Music Ed major at my university and Im going to try and pull this off as my first official four mallet piece learned! Just has that passion from someone trying to leave their mark on the percussion world! Love it man
I played this solo about 2 years ago as a sophomore, and I'm still obsessed with it to this day! This piece really made me fall in love playing the marimba, and I absolutely loved performing it! Also, I always found it coincidental that you played it on the Izzy Marimba haha
Yasssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!! Love itttttt!!!!! I think you can see how excited I am. I literally listened to the first note then bought it. Lol. This is amazing!!!! I can't wait to play it! In love with the whole piece. It has a beautiful melody and your playing is fantastic!
Havnt commented in a few but I have been waiting to hear this and I honestly loved it. Can't wait to learn it. I have to say you did a nice job and can't wait to hear more from you Adam. 👌
Adam Tan, I really like the piece! It was really soothing and amazing to listen to after working on delecluse snare etude 6 for NYO. Please make more music, it'll be great to listen to.
Thanks Adam, this really helped me progress Okay, honestly, I have only done four mallet percussion for 2 months now. But when I saw this piece, it really wanted me to push myself and master this. This piece actually helped me find motivation that my goals, even though I've started late, that they achievable. So here I am, 2 weeks before my audition to get into the studio, and I almost have it polished up and ready. I'm actually quite content.
Hey Adam I know I’m a few years late but I have to thank you for making this. A friend of mine recently played this solo at a competition and will be heading to state soon. On behalf of him thank you for creating this piece and continue to create these great works of art.
it was amazing I would love to perform it... if I had a 5 octave marimba. Congratulations on creating such an amazing piece. I will keep this on my wish list.
Adam Tan It fits in with what I like. I also like rhythm dance and ghost garden. Do you know of any solos that fit on a 4.3 board that I should check out?
Justin Seiler They are good solos! I recommend October Night to everyone for a chop burner, or maybe the old favourites like White Knuckle Stroll ahaha. I'm currently working on my next solo which is a 4.3 one so hopefully that'll be out in time!
This piece is so beautiful. I really wish this came out when i was still in school. Id surly would have loved to learn it. Good work man cant wait for the next big thing from you!!!
Thank you so much man! I hope you can still enjoy it even though you're not in school anymore! I'm releasing two new pieces over the next two months so hopefully they are enjoyable for you also :)
I'm in the process of writing my first marimba solo too! Going to be performing it at an awards show where I live in a couple weeks, very nervous but you inspire me to keep playing. Thank you for sharing your music and helping me find the courage to share mine! 😄
Just bought this piece with the bundle. Can’t wait to play it in many years when I get a 5 octave. All I need at school is 5 more keys!! Great piece though. Keep it up!!
Wow this was WAYYY better than I thought it was going to be Jesus I'm going to learn this this summer when I have more time. This is amazing I loveee it.
This piece has an own message and thats the hardest part of composing a piece. It's made by an marimba player so it's sounding like marimba music. At one or two moments i think i missed the little explosion when the line goes up and i thought:"oh man now hes getting higher till the end" but then it stoped. Maybe you wanted a feeling of a little up growing melodie which makes a short outbreak but i wanted an hard upgrowning "kaboooosh". ^^' but at the same moment i thought this could destroy the inner message. I think its a very very good first piece and i think you should do more own pieces for the future. I'm very excited how other musicians will play it. Sorry for my bad english by the way! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany.
Adrian Golbeck Adrian this is fantastic advice, I agree that my piece sounds like a marimbist wrote it for sure! I did want to make it go further but every theme I thought of was so weak ahaha. I'll push harder for my next piece, thank you for the tips 😁
You could transcribe all the Cs up an octave, and the middle section would have to go up an octave but it could work! It'd definitely be easier than 4.3 - I don't think its possible to make it work on a 4.3....
That was uh...PRETTY GREAT, I'LL FOR SURE THINK ABOUT PLAYING THIS PIECE AT A SOLO COMPETITION IN MAY! I want something the judges never heard before so I think this would be fun to learn (:

This sounds like it was really inspired by Pacific Asian pieces.
Joey Odvina Yup I listen to way too much asian stuff hahaha
Adam Tan this piece is so well thought out. Great job
Is this piece for beginners, average, or experienced players?
beautiful. i wish i had money. but after high-school when i get a job, i strive to be as skilled as you. in the meantime i can improve with what i have at school
I am a Euphonium player Idk why I am watching this... but beautiful job man, the piece sounds amazing
Teddy Palmer Euphonium is life my friend.... thank you so much 😄
Same
ROMANTIC. POFESSIONAL. x
Therese Ng YOU ARE THE POFESSIONAL
This right here, this is cute.
This is actually really good compared to other marimba solos out on the market. Would totally wanna learn it if I had a 5 octave available.
Thank you so much man! I wish I could make it 4.3 but cannot...
Adam Tan you should totally compose a 4.3 octave marimba solo sometime then!
5 years and still probably one of my favorite pieces. I come back pretty frequently to hear your pieces and hope you make many more. Also, I'm currently learning Moon and really enjoying it. Thanks once more for such amazing compositions.
Jordan
Not long ago we were messing around playing blue bird and ju hua tai and now look at you writing your own marimba pieces! so proud man :)
Wilson Ng HAHA BLUE BIRD YESSSS thanks bro 😄
At first I was watching going, "This is insane, how can he move that fast?!" then i realized I was on 1.5 speed :P
Justin Williams I was going to say I can't play that fast! Hahahaha
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve replayed this in the last week. I actually love this song
Wowww thank you so much man! I am glad you love it enough to play it that much 😳
I've been searching for a solo for my UIL solo contest in February and I was so happy when I found out this was on the UIL PML solo list. I love how magical this piece is and I cant wait to learn and perform it! Thank you for making such amazing works of art and inspiring me and many people with your music

At some parts of the piece it have me some Studio Ghibli vibes haha. Lovely piece! Keep up the good content :D
TwinkieBuddy NAILED IT! I was waiting for someone to call me out on that hahaha, thank you for listening 😀
1:22 me and my short arms are realllly enjoying that part lol
What a beautiful piece of music! It's so stimulating but still sounds so calming and peaceful at the same time. So beautiful. It paints such vivid imagery. Absolutely love it!
Thank you so much! I'm humbled that you could get that much out of it :)
this is probably the best piece he ever made
Truly wonderful music! I have followed you for a while now, you really are underrepresented for the amount of time and effort you put into these videos. This piece inspired me to write my first piece for Marimba.
Thank you so much Jackie, that means a lot to me! I hope we get to hear your first piece too :)
This is one of my favorite marimba solos and so is moon
This is such an amazing piece! It reminded me a lot the scores of some animes like SAO. It seriously made me feel something!
SAO! I see the connection ;) I did write it with some soppy images in my mind so I'm glad you felt something ;)
anime marimba piece
BlessRNG
Oh boy, I loved listening to this piece. Fantastic work, Adam!
Thank you so much man!
I am a freshman Music Ed major at my university and Im going to try and pull this off as my first official four mallet piece learned! Just has that passion from someone trying to leave their mark on the percussion world! Love it man
That is awesome man, you're going to make this piece your own for sure! Thank you so much for giving it a try :)
I played this solo about 2 years ago as a sophomore, and I'm still obsessed with it to this day! This piece really made me fall in love playing the marimba, and I absolutely loved performing it! Also, I always found it coincidental that you played it on the Izzy Marimba haha
Yasssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!! Love itttttt!!!!! I think you can see how excited I am. I literally listened to the first note then bought it. Lol. This is amazing!!!! I can't wait to play it! In love with the whole piece. It has a beautiful melody and your playing is fantastic!
Thank you so much for purchasing and watching!!! I really appreciate it :)
THAT WAS SOOOOOO GREAT!!!!
I'm a HUGE fan of yours and I learned so much from watching your channel. Keep making more good stuff👍
Celeste Dean Aw thank you so much for watching Celeste! I really appreciate it 😁
I've been sitting watching your videos all day definitely worth my time !!
Corinne Steele Aw thank you so much Corinne I appreciate it 😅😅😅

Eddie Virtgaym thank you so much Eddie! I think the flow can be a bit better but I'm glad you like the feel!
Beautiful composition and execution, Adam! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Made up my mind. Going to try to play this on my guitar, so far I got the beginning part.
I recorded myself playing the beginning part.
Havnt commented in a few but I have been waiting to hear this and I honestly loved it. Can't wait to learn it. I have to say you did a nice job and can't wait to hear more from you Adam. 👌
Marcos Aguilar Thank you so much Marco, that means a lot to me!
This was absolutely wonderful. You're extremely talented and this piece speaks volumes
I would love to play this so much, but sadly I only have access to a 4.3 octave. Is there any chance of you transcribing it to a smaller instrument?
Mark Kennedy I did try to transcribe it but it doesnt quite work unfortunately 😥 sorry about that...
Adam Tan Oh yeah, it's totally understandable. If I ever get access to a five octave I will definitely learn it. Thanks anyway!
Mark Kennedy I hope you get to try it! thank you so much 😄
Adam Tan, I really like the piece! It was really soothing and amazing to listen to after working on delecluse snare etude 6 for NYO. Please make more music, it'll be great to listen to.
at least one part of it can be transcribed
I absolutely loved this piece. As soon as I get paid, hopefully soon, it's the first thing im buying
That was great!!! You r one exceptionally talented human being.
You are too kind, thank you so much!
this piece is fricking beautiful
God its finally done!!! I couldn't wait!!!
Δημήτρης Κυριακίδης Sorry for the wait ahaha

Gavin Thatcher Thank you Gavin! I didn't expect someone to like that bit the most but I'm glad you do 😁
Thanks Adam, this really helped me progress
Okay, honestly, I have only done four mallet percussion for 2 months now. But when I saw this piece, it really wanted me to push myself and master this. This piece actually helped me find motivation that my goals, even though I've started late, that they achievable. So here I am, 2 weeks before my audition to get into the studio, and I almost have it polished up and ready. I'm actually quite content.
Congrats on finishing the piece! Great sound!
Elijah Shina Thank you Elijah! it's taken a while but it's worth it 😀

Syd. S. Thank you so much!
Hey Adam I know I’m a few years late but I have to thank you for making this. A friend of mine recently played this solo at a competition and will be heading to state soon. On behalf of him thank you for creating this piece and continue to create these great works of art.

Justin Seiler Thank you so much Justin! hopefully you get to play it soon!
Adam Tan It fits in with what I like. I also like rhythm dance and ghost garden. Do you know of any solos that fit on a 4.3 board that I should check out?

Josh C Thank you Josh 😄
Good jod on finishing on you piece and I love the music so much that maybe I will play it for myself for when I have solo and ensemble coming up. 😉
Filiberto Landaverde Thanks man! I can't wait to hear you play it!
Is there anyway this could be played on a 4.6 (low f)?
You could transcribe all the Cs up an octave, and the middle section would have to go up an octave but it could work! It'd definitely be easier than 4.3 - I don't think its possible to make it work on a 4.3....
Adam Tan watch me try and end up very disappointed when it doesn't work out.😅
the more I listen to this, the deeper it hits me.
Thank you so much Joey! I hope that if you ever decide to play this you can express it in the way you want to, with your own story :)
OMG that's so amazing!!
Maya Kretchmer Thank you so much!
Amazing job and a great piece! I hope to see many more performances and pieces like this Adam! :)
Ethan Hight Thanks for listening Ethan, I appreciate it!
It sounds amazing, Good Job!!! I hope for more in the future.😉
I wasn't ready to hear a such beautiful piece! I directly bought it ❤️
Nice piece!!
Thanks man!
I might want to play this for UIL Solo and Ensemble next year! Very beautiful piece!
That was uh...PRETTY GREAT, I'LL FOR SURE THINK ABOUT PLAYING THIS PIECE AT A SOLO COMPETITION IN MAY! I want something the judges never heard before so I think this would be fun to learn (:
Sophia Suante THANK YOU SOPHIA! I'd be honoured to have my piece in your competition, thank you so much for considering it!
