So the cassette version of Downward Spiral ends side A with Big Man With a Gun and side B starts with A Warm Place. To this day the album is still split like that in my head which is a really good place for that. To me Big Man is sort of accepting this new role no matter how gross and almost celebrating it's debauchery. If you can't beat em join em. Where A Warm Place is that last little twinkle of humanity left trying to remember, if any, some of the good in this journey or even of a time before all this. But that's it...after this we finally start slipping towards the absolute bottom...
this is a long shot re: if you're into breaking bad or not, but this reminds me of season 3 jesse: "To me Big Man is sort of accepting this new role no matter how gross and almost celebrating it's debauchery." this totally describes the Jesse of season three, when he says almost word for word. "I have finally accepted who I am. I'm the bad guy." Maybe his Warm Place was in front of the stereo speakers he used to drown out all of the pain...
I literally just finished this track as I was listening to the album on the way home. Came inside, looked on TH-cam and whaddya know....Your channel has helped me hear the album with fresh ears. It's fantastic. Thank you so very much.
hoooaaaaaaa 😍🤗 ixi it's just amazing how you transform those tracks into dreamful touching piano masterpieces... there is so much feel into this one, i just wiped a tear away...
Oh my god. This is amazing. Your videos are giving me so much comfort while I’m recovering from surgery in hospital 😭💕 keep up the beautiful work. Packed with so much emotion.
I thought I couldn't love NIN anymore than I did, but a friend of mine showed me one of your videos and instantly I was hooked, watching your videos has allowed me to listen to NIN in a completely different way to what I was before and I want to thank you for that. Love your videos! 🙂🙂🙂
Ixi...its really reassuring to see that you have a lower torso. I was convinced you were a cool, A.I. TH-cam thing for the longest... I like how you wept at the end of your interpretation as well btw. Extra human pointsS!
Wow, just great! Trent Reznor should be convinced to bring out a special "The Downward Spiral - Improv Edition", with you playing all the tracks on your piano (with Burn as a bonus track? :-))
Bravo! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Off topic, but are you looking to expand your Equipment at all? I have some barely used multiples that would love a good Home, and to be used.
Thank you! Yes. I can't really play without it. I love the emotional and acoustic quality of a sustained piano note/chord. Plus it's hard to connect melodic lines without it! Do you play?
@@iximusic - I do! Nowhere near your ambidexterity, as I am mostly self-taught. Any formal training I had was in the form of community college courses, and even though I like listening to "classical", I was never trained to play any of those standards. I learned to play primarily by ear. (I also prefer playing with a sustain pedal!)
Like somebody already mentioned something similar FURTHER DOWN ^^ in the comments ... I DO WANT the part between 3:26 and 4:10 of THIS improv to be put in a horror/psycho thriller kinda movie some day! chills down my spin, chicken skin and all that shit, like, FROM HELL!
The title is a lie
I do want this improv
👏
Ba dum tss
I can't believe TH-cam took 7 months to recommend me this channel. They need to tune their algorithms better
Get it together TH-cam! But better late than never. Thank you for the comment :)
I see/hear why the sustain pedal is amazing😊
This belongs in a movie somewhere in time .
Maybe one day in the future...

@@TheLonelyCamgirl i like that. Walt could be the personification of Mr. Self Destruct. "I am the danger. I am the one who knocks.".
@@night_speed and he controls Jesse.... :0
That poor ivy clearly needs more music like this.
it's like eraser, reptile, and downward spiral meshed together! amazing work!

Thank you. So warmed to hear that.
hoooaaaaaaa 😍🤗

Means so much to me to hear you say that.
As much as I anticipate your weekly analyses I almost look forward to these more. Absolutely beautiful!
Listening to this every evening now. Haunts me like the original.
03:45 Yeeeees Tone Clusters FTW lol
I think I summoned some demons.
About a year ago I started looking up NIN on piano and now you have this beautiful channel. Thank You!
Wow do I love your dynamic range. That and the wind blowing out side your left window is so fitting.
The outside reflected the inside!
Oh my god. This is amazing. Your videos are giving me so much comfort while I’m recovering from surgery in hospital 😭💕 keep up the beautiful work. Packed with so much emotion.
That means a lot to me, thank you! I am sending you all the good juju for a speedy recovery! 💜
@@iximusic Thank you 💜
Rough day yesterday. This was perfect to wake up to this morning. Thank you
glad I could help - I've had a bleah day today and your comment made me smile so right back atcha!
This is great!
I hope you do the Big Comedown eventually.
This is great Ixi! You are so good!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful! Thank ixi, I love the dynamics😊
Listening to your interpretation I got so immersed in it I actually forgot all about the original. Just flawless. Absolutely amazing.
Yow! Thank you ☺️
Happy. I'm happy. Thank you.

I would love to hear you play Down is the New Up. This reminds me of Thom's piano from that.

...or maybe this is my headless body double.
Ummmmm...well...
Fuck.
beautiful
Oh, wow, this is just beautiful

Moving indeed. Well done.
Super sick. Trent would be proud.
Aw, thank you!
Bravo! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Been waiting for this :)
Good job
Beautiful
ahh loved it 💖💖
Awesome, great job!
So cool, love it ✌❤
Thank you! ✌️
wowza!
Imagine Edbassmaster. "Look at this improv!"
Haha 😂 I almost forgot about that guy.
What a pleasant surprise.
Damn. Another amazing performance! Am I seeing it right? Are you using a sustain pedal?
Thank you! Yes. I can't really play without it. I love the emotional and acoustic quality of a sustained piano note/chord. Plus it's hard to connect melodic lines without it! Do you play?

when NIN tours again, can they have her be part of the live band as a keyboardist/pianist to make the band a six-piece?
🤩
Yes
yes!
Whoa.....
looks like the ssl interface, sounds amazing. good job. I see you gave thanks to 5-me0-DMT, why not shrooms or kirkland brand organic maple syrup?
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful and terrifying!
I even scared myself a little!
That G#7 is not allowed to be played by that mixing device. Did I say that right? I don't know the piano.
Haha, right! 😂
Like somebody already mentioned something similar FURTHER DOWN ^^ in the comments ...
I DO WANT the part between 3:26 and 4:10 of THIS improv to be put in a horror/psycho thriller kinda movie some day! chills down my spin, chicken skin and all that shit, like, FROM HELL!
Dude thanks! I aspire to such things 👀
Dont you tell me how I feel, you dont know,...
Well I DO want this improv. Deal with it.
"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT I WANT"
@@iximusic I'm not a big man, no I'm not....
I hope when you retire you play at Bellagio and I can tip you when I'm drinking fancy drinks :-) 🍸🥃🥂😎
But I do
What about THAT improv? Do you want that one?
😂
abonniert.
Thank you!
First
Great
