9.5/10, happy with this one. First try at playing this while recording too.

From the game Hollow Knight, aka The (arguably) Best Metroidvania Ever Made.

Main Theme - Hollow Knight

Now, this track has a bit of context around it. First off, never played Touhou and don't intend to. In fact, the 'original' version of this piece is god-awful, and if I'd have listened to it first I never would have picked this as my second major piece to start learning 3 years ago. However, I stumbled across this softer piano arrangement on the youtubes and immediately fell in love with it.

Took way too long to learn due to not having a keyboard at university, and so by the time I finished memorising everything, I was really quite sick of the piece and never bothered practicing until it actually sounded good. Been trying to remedy that in recent weeks, this is the first semi-decent run through I've managed. I'll likely re-upload a better version in the future once I'm more comfortable with the ending.

From the game (or maybe it's a visual novel? I dunno) Touhou. Arrangement by Quellatalo Nin.

Gensokyo The Gods Loved - Touhou

Yes! Finally a semi-clean performance, all the way through, of Sheet Music Boss's awesome arrangement of Spider Dance. I think this equates to around Grade 6 difficulty, and is the most technically challenging piece I can play. Still some timing slip-ups and, well, slip-ups, but I'll have to play for many more years before it's completely flawless.

Spider Dance - Undertale

Mr.Meeseeks arrangement

Simple piece, known it for a while but stopped waiting for the "perfect performance" and just pulled the trigger on uploading any old clean-ish run. Good anime film tho, would recommend!

Lit (var) - Shape of Voice (26 - 05 - 2018)

Atinpiano arrangement

An absolute classic. Took a long time to get the arpeggios somewhat consistent, and while it's not perfect this is the cleanest performance I've managed to capture. Enjoy!

To Zanarkand - Final Fantasy X (26 - 05 - 2018)

Special thanks to Arista for introducing me to this song! So many variants and interpretations across so many instruments, I thought I would add mine to the pile.

A couple of small mistakes as ever, but definitely a fluke compared to usual performance quality.

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto (21 - 08 - 2018)

Went back and listened to the original reference performance a bunch, and had some inspiration to re-record this piece. Still one of my absolute favourites, one day I hope to really be able to do it justice

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto (2019 - 03 - 15)

***DISCLAIMER*** This session was set up for a friend, I just stole some time on the piano to do one take of a few pieces! Not happy with playing quality in most of these.

Anyway, the setup was an old (1899 kinda old) Steinway baby grand in my friend Pete's living room, a Steinberg UR-RT4 interface and two AT2020 mics. EQ and mild post-pro performed by Pete Flint.
