I love aphex twin dearly, and I can safely say this is the best cover of his work that’s ever been created. It’s rare a cover can make you actually feel a totally different way than then original and you’ve accomplished that with the rich sounds you’ve created. Well done.
@@reidwillis9338 Just saw that you're replying to comments even now. I just discovered your music on spotify last week and have been listening through your discography a lot. Super cool stuff and very unique sounds. Love it.
James Garcia, if you like this cover, check out this one th-cam.com/video/hHoU6OGQ0PU/w-d-xo.html I find it to be the best cover for this particular Aphex Twin track but the same TH-camr does an amazing cover for the track “Avril 14th”
Sometimes I don't feel like covers add much or are justified. But that is not the case here. This version feels alive in a different way than the original and definitely stands on it's own. I've had this on repeat for months now so thanks!!
fucking lovely! thank you for this. I'm imagining just wandering into some piano bar and there's a guy playing this, and either my head would explode with joy or I'd get incredibly hammered and not remember anything for three days.
so in love with it thank u for this amazing cover can't explain these high feelings when i listen this over and over again a lot hot hugs from cold russia and oh yes sorry for my bad english
@@reidwillis9338 Really, you deserve more praise. Every single key and beat is accurate. I find it hard to believe that this was performed by a human! I will say though, to make the cover just a bit more accurate, I'd increase the audio's frequency by a few Hz. The original Alberto Balsalm is a microtonal song that was composed on a scale in between B flat major and B major. Your cover is in the B flat major semitone. However it's understandable since you were restricted to western instruments, which usually cannot play in microtones. Excellent job. Your cover of the song is the best on TH-cam I've seen by far. I don't know why I wrote a comment this long lol
Saw this in my feed a few times and thought, erm no I won't bother. Well I did click today and this is such a beautifully constructed arrangement. You know it's a cover, but this sounds like it was written this way.
This is great, I love that you recreated the percussion as well. However, I think the "chorus" part could be improved. Some of the bass notes are a bit different from the original.
Hey Reid...I come back to this vid like once a month, your arrangement is amazing. Is there any chance you would be willing to send me the backing track for this? Not to share or post, just for myself to play along with at home. I would be eternally grateful!!
Hey Reid, great cover my man! Youv'e got a few people inquiring about the sheet music here, we won't be able to ask you for it in private as we can't currently send you messages! "Note: If a channel doesn't have a confirmed name on TH-cam, it won't be able to receive private messages and you won't see the "Send message" button on the channel." Please post in the description if you've got em and keep up the good work!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. That's strange that people aren't able to PM me. I've received messages before. Maybe you have to subscribe first? Anyway, I now added the link to the sheet music in the description :)
I like this one. Instead of the sliding sound being of a chair, it sounds like somebody sliding their wet butt on a bathtub.
LMFAO
KLM wet butt lol
It’s aphex opening old ammo container
Thanks, now I cannot unhear it... :P
why would you make me think this
this one has the chair being dragged, beautiful
Thank you! Yes, I actually manipulated the sound of a box being dragged across the floor, doubled with a cello, if I remember correctly.
which bit was that for
The bit that sounds like a box being dragged across the floor, doubled with a cello, obviously
nice work
oh the bit i cant hear in the song

Daniel Smith thank you so much! That really means a lot.
Wow!
I see a lot of your comments on these kinds of videos. you must be a big fan of aphex twin.
@@schormu u must be too
And so must I?
@@duncanridsdale222 I remember making this comment 4 months ago haha. yes, i love afx twin and so do you.
chris kogos you are on ever home video and aphex twin video
fucking lovely! thank you for this. I'm imagining just wandering into some piano bar and there's a guy playing this, and either my head would explode with joy or I'd get incredibly hammered and not remember anything for three days.
I remember hearing this song(in general) when I was 16 (4 years ago) and it still feels fresh to me. I love listening covers of Aphex twin music
ditto, but 20 years ago.
same with me, 16 y/o me was forever changed by Alberto Balsalm
❤️ this version, it helped me during "bad times".
I'm so glad. Thanks so much :)
I hope you're in a better place, friend
That's the best cover of the song on TH-cam. The sound of "chair", the drums, the sound of YOUR piano are awesome.
From Russia with luv :3
Wow, just wow. Eargasm❣️
The cool thing is that this is exactly keeping with the spirit of thr original sampling :DD
The best piano based cover of this song there is
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Super good.
very faithful rendition
super cool light that light is super cool
Very gothic and enchanting
simply awesome.
Words can barely describe. The alterations you made are brilliant. Love this version.
Thank you very much!
so in love with it
thank u for this amazing cover
can't explain these high feelings when i listen this over and over again
a lot hot hugs from cold russia
and oh yes sorry for my bad english
Thank you!!
I love it when I listen to the same music as people from all over the world :) Your English is good
I wonder why i never seen this version the last two years... thank you. its a brilliant cover:)
F -André Thank you so much!
This captures the mood. Good job covering what might be my favorite song.
the best cover for my favorite song, nice work
Man, TH-cam getting rid of the dislike button must have not bothered you at all!
Incredible work, best cover by far!!!!
this is a certified chair-sliding pots & pans moment
What a masterpiece of a cover
Thank you!!

Bravissimo
Thats a solid cover.
still can't realise that "thing" from The Addams Family could make such a masterpiece
Clearly Thing had a helping hand here.

Thank you so much 🙏

I like your hands
it even has the table being dragged across the floor effect... im pleasantly surprised
Nice!! thank you for this
fuckin amazing work man
Absolutely incredible work
This is great, I love that you recreated the percussion as well. However, I think the "chorus" part could be improved. Some of the bass notes are a bit different from the original.
Beautiful. Fucking nailed it. Thank you.
I wonder how to transcribe the complicated rythm sound.
Yes, I programmed the rhythm track in Logic Pro X, using mostly the Damage VST
Great! And thanks lot for transcribing it!
This is a great rendition.
the tradition of just hands that came and went and the world never knew
Hey Reid...I come back to this vid like once a month, your arrangement is amazing. Is there any chance you would be willing to send me the backing track for this? Not to share or post, just for myself to play along with at home. I would be eternally grateful!!
Are you able to send me a PM? I'd be happy to send over the rhythm track to you.
this is too catchy
Well done.
Well that was f$&king cool. 😎
Hey man! Absolutely amazing! How did you make the background instrumental ? Is tha the original midi? Tnx;)

завораживающая мелодия, интересно как бы она звучала если бы вместо пианино звучал клавесин (отсылка к Orbital - The Box )
Excellent
Could you by any chance PLEASE send me the drums/percussion track for this? Or post it?
Excellent cover and rearrangement!
