Probably the cleanest performance I've had of this... which says a lot. Glad to have recorded it, but still a bit disappointed overall, especially with the piano settings used. Also, sounds very flat due to me being an idiot and recording the output in mono... and then discarding the midi because I couldn't be bothered to find my memory stick... Is this where the millennials say "fml"?

Original composer bloke: Ludovico Einaudi

[OUTDATED] Nuvole Bianche - Ludovico Einaudi

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.
