Recordings mostly for posterity. But I guess if you'd never heard a proper pianist perform these pieces, they might be nice to listen to so hey, public playlist woo.

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

It ain't perfect but it's 1:48am as I write this, after having just sat down and played this on the first attempt. IT'LL DO.

From the game Hollow Knight. PLAY IT. SO GOOD.

Resting Grounds - Hollow Knight

One wrong note and one missed note, few timing slip-ups, little bit too muffled on the settings... But hey, still an alright performance.

From the game Bloodborne. The best Dark Souls game.
Arrangement by Fontenele NXT

[OUTDATED] The First Hunter - Bloodborne

One of the very first proper piano pieces I tried to learn. Still one of my favourites, even if it's very simple. Quite happy with the settings and performance for this one (which is rare for me).

From the 'game' To The Moon.

For River - To The Moon

The original performance of this track had a high noise floor and was recorded in mono... I also discarded the midi immediately after playing, so I couldn't just re-capture it. It's taken like 15+ recording attempts to get another clean playthrough because I kept overthinking the piece and messing it up. So I stopped focusing on trying to create a flawless performance and went back to just trying to feel the flow of the piece, lo and behold I get a new recording I'm happy with.

Composer: Ludovico Einaudi

Nuvole Bianche - Ludovico Einaudi

Recording with correct chords this time... aside from one... see if you can spot it! Also a bit weird on the timing and a heavy keypress or two appears to have auto-compressed itself. All in all, not happy (as usual) but it'll do (as usual).

Gymnopedie #1 - Erik Satie (21 - 08 - 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)

Sloppy, but still a lot of fun! Learned in honour of Lobrocop. Always eat the bone.

Also Sprach Zarathustra - Strauss (05 - 11 - 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.

Prelude #4 in E minor [acoustic]

Freelance 3D designer, hobbyist game developer, full time nerd... Oh, and amateur pianist I guess. I stream said piano stuff on Twitch pretty regularly, drop by at www.twitch.tv/egglyberts !
