I watched this song and i was like "So beautiful, but so hard! I can never do this :c" Then i just started playing it and while doing that i got so motivated by the song that i kept going on. I got through the hard parts and now i can play it. I'm telling you guys, it's definitaly worth it!!
Wow, dude nice! Took me a minute into the video to realize that this audio wasn't ripped from the video of him playing. This is probably one of the best transcriptions I've seen. Dynamics do wonders.
I seriously hope that Deadmau5 have not become to big to one day stumple/stumble? upon this awesome piano version of his awesome track here on TH-cam, and still be grateful that there are people in this world who are such huge fans of the really good Mau5 music from "back in the days" that they make a piano version this awesome! Thank you for this, you are now my new piano god Mr. Evan Duffy!
I'm gonna practice this the wohle summer, hopefully I perfect this song. Wish me luck 😁😁😃 edit: yo its 2022, i totally forgot about updating loool i played this at a family reunion wayyy back then. havent touched the keyboard for a while so im little rusty. took me two summers to do the whole thing, but i finally did it !! you reap what you sow !!
I've been hoping that someone would transcribe Evan Duffy's arrangement to MIDI for ages! I cannot thank you enough for doing this, finally I can learn to play the song like my idol does! Synthesia is one of my best tools for learning music, right beside my own two ears. THANK YOU!
@Rocket Drifter How are you able to download this into synthesia? I'm not able to find a link where I can save this to a folder and get it into synthesia
Isn't that what lots of music creation is? I got these notes, what if I used these instruments to play them, what if I modify the sound of the instruments? listen, change settings, re-arrange the notes a little, add a few more notes. Seems very creative.
Had to shorten it a bit because I'm lazy, but I'm happy to say after a solid year or two of starting and giving up on learning this I've finally made it 4 minutes in. Broke a sweat after playing for a few hours.
Judging by your website we would get along pretty well... My god, Coldplay, Madeon, Porter, deadmau5... even Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, that's impressive
Arunisrelativelycool ahmm well the amounts of time I practice really variate. Sometimes I play everyday for a week, sometimes I dont play for 2 months. I got it in 2.5 years but I didn't practice that much on it. If I practiced more/ only calculate thr amount of time I put into it, I'd have gotten it in a few months I think
Love the intro and climax of course. Very easy intro to play but odd structurally. Hard to say where a meter starts and ends, you just kind of get into a cycle and it keeps going
There are some additional notes around 4:56 that don't belong. I can't figure out what it should be yet, but its throwing off the beat by a half step. This song is great otherwise! Thanks!
I've been practicing this song for at least 3 months now, almost every day...still really hard for me to grasp...hopefully 3 more months i will get it down
@@mcgrey_ I kinda understand, I get like that sometimes. For example, Zohar's Corridors of Time is an extremely difficult song for me. Every time I think I learn a part and listen to it again, I find that there are some parts that I missed, so I have to relearn certain parts of it.
I just spent a few hours learning the first part of the intro. I've played guitar and bass for years but I'm trying to get good at the piano for music production.
Evan plays it wrong, it should still be 4/4 but he puts in a couple extra 16ths every bar. If you overlay the regular 4/4 bassdrum beat from Strobe, every piano cover I've seen on TH-cam breaks down at this point and gets off-sync from the beat...
I can just play my fav part from 4:40 to 5:30 whole day :P Yeah i need to learn whole but for some reason I always learn my favourite parts first and then sometimes i am too lazy to learn the rest :(.
Think you can do Evan's version of Too Close, by Alex Clare? My jaw hit the floor when I heard his version of it. There's a million different elements at play that make it a wonderful piece. The timing structure alone was...we'll just say it's impressive. Big fan of your work by the way, I don't really care for electronica music but you've turned me around when it comes to the piano cover versions of it!
There's a note missing somewhere in the beginning segment. Like a deeper note should be added just before the tune loops itself. Other than that, this is awesome~
I've been working on this for a while now... Using a metronome helped me. Learn each hand, then combine both hands. Start slow and only speed it up when you can play at that speed without making any mistakes. Amazing song, worth the struggle!
Wow, incredible. This is like that impossible bonus stage from Piano Hero you unlock after completing the games hardest difficulty. This one…. goes to 11.
a masterpiece. i still listen to this song 10 years later
It's been 7 years tho
@@Saintzel nah it was released in like 2009. The original anyway. Idk about the evan Duffy remix
Listen to the meowington hax mix

Sweet! Ive started learning lil by little
I think im into deep, hahaha but..see what happens hahaha...
Just watched it again..not a fucking chance, im dreaming
Im like you, greetings from Argentina
YASSSSS GIRL!!!!
@Adam Hanafi thanks brother ima keep at it! Appreciate the encouragement 🙂
Wow, dude nice! Took me a minute into the video to realize that this audio wasn't ripped from the video of him playing. This is probably one of the best transcriptions I've seen. Dynamics do wonders.
this is the perfect song to learn when starting out because it gets gradually more difficult
This the sound track for the next ten years of my life
Was the soundtrack for the last ten years of my life and i will gladly pass the torch to you
It sure was mine from the last ten years xD
This is insane.. That Evan Duffy can both compose and play this is just incredible...
I really love how the switching between left and right hand does resemble the flickering of a strobe
I up to 4:00 so far. Absolutely amazing song.. Still learning but fun every step of the way.
kbrebel04 did you learn?
He might be dead
@@daftbence So far everybody that tried have mysteriously disappeared
Just do it by ear it's not that hard
how about now did you learn?

I can't image how Dm5 is so fantastic. #deadmau5 #strobe
techno and piano versions, perfection.

miss this time of youtube so much i always come back to this tutorial
This song is a truly masterpiece

That's my goal this summer, plus like 50+ other songs
+A Stale Donut can you play it yet? :P
Took me three days to learn it.
I do not play the piano/keyboard, but I swear I'll be able to play this by the end of July. And I mean by memory.
+Grammar Nazi How's it gone so far?
I honestly believe strobe is the most beautiful song ever written.

I've got the first minute done. For a duck it's pretty impressive.
Impressive. Give yourself a pat on the back...if that's even possible...I don't know much about your kind..
Have u learned the whole song yet?
Did you learn the whole song
Idk why this makes me wanna cry
I love music like that. If I truly let go I could bawl my eyes out during multiple songs on the piano. That's the vibes baby!
strobe gets me like 🥲😭🥹
HOLY CRAP EARGASM!! This is amazing!!
Ikr
can't believe deadmau5 did this all by trial and error

@@redwingblackbird8306 yup
Well it's all music theory, but his creativity and execution is the most beautiful part
@@niveous5392 the thing is, he doesn`t know anything about usic theory, thats why its so impressive
he clicks around in the piano roll till it sounds good lol

Lol
I have to agree, some parts of this song are really stretched and repetitive, I also shortened some passages in the middle
Does anyone else notice after focusing on the video, your vision seems to stretch laterally.
NO
yes
yes omg i thought im going crazy
I thought it was a special effect from the program :p
that also happens when I play guitar hero for too long
My challenge is to get this learnt so it can be my AS music solo piece...wish me luck!
Many hopes for you m8 😁😇
Thanks :)
you did it?
Did you do it?
did he?
First 0:30 seconds I am Ok
LOL
Une belle musique
😁
lmao
up to 1:18 with only being able to do the orange notes Edit: up to the same point, but with both hands :D
Are you dumb
@@cicada42069 lol what?
I remember when I gassed that mark it felt amazing, I wonder if he carried on for these four years
@@mylifeisbeige I want to know too. lol
Judging by your website we would get along pretty well... My god, Coldplay, Madeon, Porter, deadmau5... even Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, that's impressive
Sorry to hear. I hope you can get it back. I loved your version and I can't find a comparable video anywhere! All of your videos are awesome!
A really simple cover, but really emotional and strong. 10/10. Fucking sweet.
After many hours of practicing and never really having touched a piano before I've got the first part down. At 1:17 when the chords come in I'm out :|
You, Sir, have won at the Internet for today. Good work.
This is awesome!!!!!!!!! I listen to this everyday! One day when my keyboard skills are up to par...I am leaning this!!!
wow thank you so much for putting the midi up of this. i can't wait to mess with it. serious thanks
almost got it! 😍 only need to get the details at 6.00 - 6.30
How long did it take you? I'm a complete beginner but this is the first song I wanna learn

You guys should check out the Lonely Astronaut remix for Strobe, it's awesome.
borek921 alright
Dat wuz legitness
this song gives me so much nostaglia i literally just fucking bawled for the last 4 minutes of the song
I'm going to try and learn this, many mistakes shall be made
i feel you
how did you do?
he might be dead
as it should be
Have you learned the song yet?
This song is the best for piano. I can't wait to learn how to play this!!!
Did you ever learn it?
It should give you goosebumps, because it's a masterpiece.
Love the intro and climax of course. Very easy intro to play but odd structurally. Hard to say where a meter starts and ends, you just kind of get into a cycle and it keeps going
Sponsor of this video: the longest intro ever
The longest intro ever: YOU WILL NOT PASS
Убил😂
If you play at 2x speed it is pretty much the original song!! good stuff!
The Tutorial websites with the sheets and MIDI are not working anymore! Could some one please send me the MIDI?
That was simply amazing, wow 🤩
This proves how talented Evan Duffy is
There are some additional notes around 4:56 that don't belong. I can't figure out what it should be yet, but its throwing off the beat by a half step. This song is great otherwise! Thanks!
I've been practicing this song for at least 3 months now, almost every day...still really hard for me to grasp...hopefully 3 more months i will get it down
dont worry.. you'll eventually get it... but when you do... could you post it to youtube? I want to hear it!
your just mad because your angry no
3 months? HAHAHAHAG
You practice this every day for 3 months and you can't play this yet? Do you learn 1 sec everyday or what haha?
@@mcgrey_ I kinda understand, I get like that sometimes. For example, Zohar's Corridors of Time is an extremely difficult song for me. Every time I think I learn a part and listen to it again, I find that there are some parts that I missed, so I have to relearn certain parts of it.
Deadmaus would be so stinking proud of Duffy

amazing transcription!
WOAH THIS IS PERFECT
honestly breathtaking, dare I say it's comparable to the original.
The chills are strong with this one
How do fuck do you compose a song like this? One of the best melodies ever.
beautiful !!!!
I'm learning this song. Thank you for the video. But wtf is the time signature at 4:42 ?
+Lavrov it's mostly likely still gonna be 4/4
+Lavrov it should be 4/4 but its not. I don't know if Evan made a mistake here but if you listen to the original Strobe its still 4/4.
Evan plays it wrong, it should still be 4/4 but he puts in a couple extra 16ths every bar. If you overlay the regular 4/4 bassdrum beat from Strobe, every piano cover I've seen on TH-cam breaks down at this point and gets off-sync from the beat...
I barely made it to 1:07 if I made it that far, then I could still continue to the harder parts! I love Joel's melodies!!!
nice work!
I can just play my fav part from 4:40 to 5:30 whole day :P Yeah i need to learn whole but for some reason I always learn my favourite parts first and then sometimes i am too lazy to learn the rest :(.
same :p
This is GREAT! you're my inspiration for making transcriptions so thank you :D
I swear the whole section starting at 4:43 is wrong cause there's like an extra beat at the end of each bar, it's different to the original 😒
Noticed that too.. happens again in the intense part of the bridge. It's been bothering me since this awesome cover came out..six years ago.
Good, I'm not the only one. Thought maybe I was going crazy. I'd love to figure this out because my brain trips up when I get to this point.
The veldt evan duffy please!
Think you can do Evan's version of Too Close, by Alex Clare? My jaw hit the floor when I heard his version of it. There's a million different elements at play that make it a wonderful piece. The timing structure alone was...we'll just say it's impressive.

Fuck , i cried -.-
This is beautiful
Epic. I dropped a tear.
beautifull!
Can I play on a 61 key key board though? I can't go low enough for the complicated bit. Wish there was a version for smaller keyboards
God.. This is so beautiful
I love the song that I'm actually playing it for the first time and it sounds awesome
I can play up to 0:32 already for someone who has never touched the piano! Good job, me!
i think you've got twelve fingers....Respect
jimmysgioups no just no
jimmysgioups you dont need 12 fingers
bruh if you think this song is hard.... lmao you prob don't even play the piano.
La 8 maravilla es la musica es impresionante cuando se juntan las notas perfectas extraordinario!!!
There's a note missing somewhere in the beginning segment. Like a deeper note should be added just before the tune loops itself. Other than that, this is awesome~
Imagination and the ability to count and or course the will to create ❤
Anyone have any tips for me? I'm learning this and have half of the right hand almost down
I've been working on this for a while now... Using a metronome helped me. Learn each hand, then combine both hands. Start slow and only speed it up when you can play at that speed without making any mistakes. Amazing song, worth the struggle!
I LOVE THIS!
This is awesome!
heyyy...you have done an excelent work...! could you please upload the sheets?
Where's the midi download???
flawless perfect
Can you do Evan Duffy's cover of Shuriken? It's amazing!
Beautiful
some of the chords in here are so powerful
How do I play this on a 61 key Keyboard? Someone help me :\
would like to know that too
Well transcribed, sounds pretty.
Sneaks in a little Spectrum by Zedd @ 5:46
Just fucking love transformation 6.45 onwards..
Can listen to it whole day😘😘😘😘
I can do the fast bit with ease, but I just can't get the slow bit for some reason :O
It's beautiful
3:46 there is a change of bpm?
Yes
Wow, incredible. This is like that impossible bonus stage from Piano Hero you unlock after completing the games hardest difficulty. This one…. goes to 11.
Any chance of a midi file or a link or direction to a midi file!!? Pretty please 🙏
Im rocking it on my Launchpad
sheet music?
AWESOME!
Can you make one for Skrillex-Ruffneck Bass?
Please do Evan Duffy's Cover of The Veldt. It'd be so great!
thanks for this, I can finally learn how to play it now!
Anyone have any hints of the key this is in so I can even have a chance ? I have limited music knowledge
depends how much time you put into it and how hard you work.
