My Curse - Killswitch Engage (Improvised Piano Instrumental)

This is a very sad song about unrequited love, but if you're like me, I always find the saddest music is also the most beautiful. And this is my all-time favorite song - I think that this is the best song ever written! :)

Here's my rendition of The Start of Something Beautiful by Porcupine Tree. The piano lead in the middle is pure genius - I'll never stop about how beautiful this song is. Together with the guitar lead, it creates pure magic.

Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon (Piano And Vocal Cover)

We are naught but shadows and dust, suffused awhile with life and energy, forever dancing in the path to infinite disorder. 

Here is an original piano composition called "Infinite Shadows".

Infinite Shadows

Tragic events in life may create physical and mental pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is. The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.

Here is an original piano composition called "Resistance".

Resistance

So, I'm trying to expand my horizons as a solo pianist/keyboardist.
About 10 years ago, I first heard "Truth" by Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci (An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess - 2000), and I knew that this was something I would want to do at some point in my life.
I've been trying to pick up Rudess's piano portion by ear ever since, and finally in 2023, I finally got the chance to collaborate with a friend of mine who had the same kind of passion towards this song.

The setup is not quite ideal, but we did try to do justice to it. Rudess and Petrucci are demigods, it is impossible to mimic them, but here is our attempt to see if we could get close.

Truth (Jordan Rudess And John Petrucci) - Cover

I am a keyboardist based in Austin, TX. I have recently begun playing with "On Delay", and we are into progressive rock.  Link to SoundCloud account below. We have only recently begun, so if you like what you hear, please show us some love. :)
As for me, I have been in love with the keyboards/piano since I was 5. Music to me is the strongest kind of magic.
