PIANO BATTLE #2! Rory Cannon vs. B.C. Mix Music vs. Yoni

Piano Lord took that keyboard, and I unpacked my strings and we VIBED. I loved working with Piano Lord on this piece, it's been a long time coming. This turned into a really long piece, but I think we made something really enjoyable. You don't want to miss this ending, we put a whole lot in there. If you are not already following, go follow @pianolord right now! This man is crazy good at writing music, and has some of my favorite pieces on this site. Tell us your favorite part in the comments! :D

Chaotic Elegance

This song is probably the most epic sounding thing I've made in my opinion. I feel in love with the bassline and chord progression of this one. I have a sort of story to it too;

A soldier is called into battle. He is determined to do his part and win this war, get back to his family. There is no room for failure, and the stakes couldn't be higher than lives on the line. 

The first shots by the enemies are fired, and you can almost feel the soldiers heart beating as he starts to enter the fight. Rushes of emotion and memories flood him as he comes slowly closer to the enemy forces.

As the hero looks around, he sees the faces of soldiers he's bonded with over the time of his journey. He knows some of them will not be coming back, and he tries to imprint their memory in his mind. "Not coming back, but never going to surrender".

That was 20 years ago, now, the hero stands in the same spot he watched his brothers in arms die. Remembering the importance of what was lost that day. At peace would never describe how it felt, there is no peace on a battlefield. That day, the soldier remembered what it was like to be courageous.

Courage To Prevail

TEAM Piano Battle!

Kinda upset and a little frustrated, so I banged out this piece. I think it turned out okay.

Monstrous

I really wanted to branch out some more, and go out of my comfort zone (stylistically) with this sort of Egyptian scale. It was super fun developing the runs and all of the basslines. I want to thank @pianolord for feedback and for being the huge inspiration for the second half of this song, I really tried to mimic his style, but of course add my own flair. I think this turned out to be one of my best, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The Psychology Of A Mastermind

I wrote a story to go with this song which you'll find below. Sorry for any typos and if you find one, let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. Enjoy!


Max woke up at 3:00 AM to the sound of millions of footsteps, the closest ones belonging to his roommates. The two other guys were fast asleep and stumbling towards the front door. After trying to wake them up without success, Max decided to follow them. Out in the halls of the apartment complex, all the tenants were sleepwalking. It appeared that everyone on that block and for miles around- they were all sleepwalking as well. And they were all headed in the same direction. People were jumping out of 20-story windows, trying to get to the same place the others were going and some dying in front of Max's eyes. There were some who got out of their cars. Alarms inside factories rang out in the night, but it seemed no one was awake, all except Max who marched on with the crowd. They walked for miles over all sorts of terrain, until they got to a grassy field. Max looked between the sleepwalkers and realized they were headed towards a large black lake, where not even the moon's reflection dared to go. All the people were walking into the water until it was far over their heads. Max tried to turn around but was pushed forward by the crowd. He was shoved violently into the icy waters along with many others.
And no one ever resurfaced...

Thanks for reading :D.

Drowning (Piano Duet)

Chapter 3: A Land Long Forgotten

	“A long time ago, this land was chaos,” the old man began. “The Darkness reigned, and it was made sure that there was very little resistance. It was like this for 500 years.
“But then, almost out of nowhere, three figures rose up. A dragon, human, and elf, they were each magically gifted, and agreed to expend all of their power, sacrificing their lives, to create three objects that, together, would have the power to seal away the Darkness, and cease the chaos. 
“Hold up, hold up,” Nat interrupted. “Dragons, humans, and elves? I mean, I’ve heard of humans - of course, I’m one of them - but what are these other creatures you speak of?”
“Ah, you’re right my boy,” laughed the old man. “I forgot you’re Cordian. You wouldn’t know of such things. Here, let me summarize the three races for you.
“We’ll start with the humans. Small civilizations of them are everywhere, including here, but most live up in the mountains in the northwestern corner of Aeternus. Due to where they live, they’re quite a bit isolated, having their own way of living. And dare I say, it’s a quite good way of living. They dance and they party all day and all night, free from the worries of the world around them.
“Then, you have the elves. Mischievous little beasts they are.” The man smiled to himself.  “They’re all quite small, topping out at about two feet in height. They live in the forests to the southeast, and are all quite handy with a bow. So, even though they might not look very intimidating, trust me, you don’t want to get in a quarrel with one. Trust me, I know from experience.
“And lastly, the dragons. Up in the rocky cliffs to the northeast, they lay dormant. Now those guys, you don’t want to mess with. They’re extremely intelligent, but also think of other species as ants in comparison to them, and treat them as such. It’s quite hard to start a conversation with them without them getting annoyed and ending your life right there.
“Anyways, these three races - humans, dragons, and elves - used the stones accordingly, and peace returned to Aeternus, and peace was returned. But inevitably, the Darkness is already making its return, now quicker than ever.
“In the far North, there lies a civilization of goblins, led by a human wizard by the name of Zorander; my twin brother, funnily enough. Quite the eccentric individual, that one. As of now, he’s started trying to bring back the darkness. And he is extremely close to doing so. Which is where you come in.”
“Yes… that strange stare you made at me. Explain.” Nathaniel pushed. 
“Ah, yes, that. Well, a while back, our parents got into some trouble with an old witch. She cursed them to have two sons - one to end the world, and one to prevent the other from doing so. A strange curse, but hey, I’m not the one who made it. That stare… Well, it’s something I do without realizing it. And it happens when I catch the eye of a person capable of saving Aeternus from Zorander. In fact, it’s occurred three times before, and the three people… I’m sad to say, it didn’t go well for them. And now… there’s you. I’m so very sorry to bring you into all this, but I’m afraid if you don’t help, this realm will fall right back into chaos.”
“Alright,” Rose said nonchalantly. “We gonna go get rid of this old wizard guy or just stand here awkwardly?”
“You’re certainly right, my girl,” laughed the old man, “But first, I must make some preparations. Our journey shall begin soon.”
