  • Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves | Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection | 太空戰士X-2
    Composer: Noriko Matsueda & Takahito Eguchi
    Arranger: Hiroko Kokobu
    Score: musescore.com/user/3690601/sc...
    Some were saying this is a weird arrangement.
    However, it is in my opinion, the best FF arrangement I have come across. I spent the whole week learning and digest only this piece, hoping that I will be able to deliver the best music to you.
    Recently I have been doing research on recording and experimented different setup, including the tuning and voicing of the piano.
    My YUS5 usually uses 442Hz. I had a discussion with my technician two days ago and decided to give 440Hz a try.
    (Speaking of which, there are countless trial and error in my recording journey, I guess I will never satisfy...)
    Sadly, the 440Hz doesn't sound right to my ears, and I will probably tune it back to 442Hz very soon. :D
    Thank you for being my audience along my learning journey!
    Though it is imperfect, I hope you will still enjoy my playing.
    這首是我小時候睡覺時會無限循環一整晚的曲子。
    也是一首讓我愛上鋼琴聲音的曲子。
    時間過了很久,這首曲子在我的成長過程中沒再復現,就被埋藏在我内心深處。
    不久前偶然聽見,實實在在體驗了傳説中的回憶殺。
    於是我下定決心,這麽美麗的曲子,一定要跟大家分享。
    希望你們喜歡。:)

    When I was young, it was this piece that made me fall in love with the sound of the piano.
    And I guess it will live in my heart forever.

    十几年前我在同学家留宿了一段时间,每天放工以后我们的节目就是玩FF,虽然是单机游戏,但就很有默契的换来换去。比如那些迷宫要找配各种颜色魔法球的,我这个色盲就完全派不上用场,都由他来解决。而那些无聊重复打怪多了个人也显得不太无聊。琴键敲打琴弦,曲子响起,回到十多年前的光景,就如曲名一样,memory of lightwaves。
    每当我想改变时间的方向,我就会回来再听。很好听。

    It takes getting used to 440. I remember there was a period of time when I noticed my old piano was one semitone lower. So all older my songs on TH-cam was one semitone lower than original key of songs. And I can only play by ear... If you're used to 442 and you tune it to 440. It will sound a bit off, like less impact. YUS 5 is a super high end upright piano. So I assume Yamaha may have integrated German or European piano making techniques or parts too. Especially since they bought Bosendorfer. German and Europe are more used to 442. Normal ears won't hear the difference. But perfect pitch people... Will feel the difference.

    • @XiaoTongPiano
      @XiaoTongPiano  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Ray for the detailed comment! The new tuning has been bothering me a lot, I guess I am really not a 440 person :/
      And you are right, the YUS5s are using German strings.

    • @RayMak
      @RayMak 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@XiaoTongPiano but even if you tune it to 440 now. It takes around 3 tuning plus months to stabilize. And returning it to 442 may not be so good for your strings too. I believe my old piano was around 432 when we imported it from England last time. It was handmade.

    This is the piece of music that inspired me to buy a cheap-ish but decent keyboard and try to learn how to play the piano. After a lot of effort, I could play the first two minutes. Unfortunately I was too impatient and untalented to stick with it, and now, 15 or so years later, I've forgotten everything I ever learned on the piano.
    However, I can still remember the joy and satisfaction I felt, even just from playing those two minutes worth of amazing, incredible music.

I always wanted to play whole song But I Justwas able to play two parts of it but the real goal for me was play it with my father and make him be proud of me because he loves the piano too. Unfortunetly he died on september of Last year and It never Will be completed.

    I saw the title as "2 Piano Collection" and was hoping you were doing a self-collab video again, haha. The harmonies in 4ths at the beginning sound very Hisaishi-like! Very interesting music with lots of contrasts in mood, and very expressive and sincere playing! I'm curious, where do you place your mics? Have you tried opening the the lid of the piano? I agree with Fruit, it would be great to hear your recordings on a grand piano! Hopefully someday 😊😊

    • @XiaoTongPiano
      @XiaoTongPiano  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn't realize the title could have double meaning, haha! The original music is basically just the main theme melody on a loop, but this arrangement does make it sound very interesting!
      The recording setup is a long story..
      Almost all of my recordings are actually recorded with the piano lid open! But I am using the only tablet I have to do recording (which is also the one I use for score) With cables, cushion and soundboards everywhere, the setting is too messy so I decided to keep them from the video. And I need to film my playing from both sides using my phone and sync them after :/
      I am hoping to upgrade my recording equipment (and piano!) too as it is not very sustainable doing this way. 🥲

For our overhead shot in the Unravel video, Clare hung one of our phones to the ceiling using hooks and strings! But it was moving around a bit while we were playing, so for our latest recording, she found she could extend a phone selfie stick onto a mic stand, and it works much better!

    Bravo! comme toujours! j'ai beaucoup aimé.
    Quant au la 440, c'est une convention qui date du milieu du vingtième. Pour jouer seule votre oreille est votre seul maître! maintenant si vous jouez avec un ou plusieurs autres instruments il vaut mieux que vous soyez d'accord sur le la de base! un 440 avec un 442Hz produit un battement de 2Hz nettement perceptible et désagréable.
