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.

Piano Performances

Not perfect by any stretch on the arpeggio timings, but probably one of my better attempts. Quite happy with the piano sound though.

From the film 'Amelie'. I haven't seen it.

[OUTDATED] Comptine D'Un Autre Ete - Amelie

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[OUTDATED] The First Hunter - Bloodborne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

It took far, far too many attempts to get a clean performance of this. And even this one is lacking a little je ne sais quoi... Maybe I need to practice this a lot more and give it a round 2 some time.

From Mass Effect 3. This music is maybe the best thing about the ending (huehuehue)

An End Once And For All - Mass Effect 3

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

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

Maybe I'm being depressive or something, but to me, a piano lends itself so perfectly towards the melancholy and the pensive... and this piece really captures that. Also happens to be my mum's favourite piece of piano music so, had to learn it. 

Few timing slipups as usual, but I'm getting sort of sick of practising a piece which has little physical skill required to play... Maybe in a few months/years/never when I'm better, I'd like to have another crack at this, but right now, it's onto the next piece! (Teaser: it's from Undertale and it's very different to anything I've covered in the past)
