Banjo-Kazooie Mega Medley on Piano

[@Geronimonsy]

The algorithm was good to me today

[@BeraldoQM]

Me too

[@DiscoReptile]

The "Yuhuh!" at the start invoked such a wheeze in me, good stuff

[@PDIcomics]

Has no one pointed out she’s dressed like Tooty? What an amazing and precious treasure she is.

[@KaraComparetto]

ahahah thank you! I think some people knew who I was dressed as, I guess you have to be a big fan :P

[@PDIcomics]

Thanks for the response. Your beautiful renditions bring me to nostalgic tears often. This should have a million views ☺️ Grant Kirkhope wrote all these compositions and he’s very active on social media, especially twitter, and posts about BK practically every day. A little before Christmas, he played Freezeezy Peak on a kazoo and keyboard. If somehow he doesn’t know about this video, that should promptly be remedied because he would fundamentally, completely, and utterly adore it. So I need to try and send it to him. 😊

[@KaraComparetto]

He does, he tweeted about it! :)

[@PDIcomics]

@@KaraComparetto That’s wonderful 😊

[@angel3067]

[@kayonji]

I just can't stop smiling watching this. Every single note captures perfectly the playful spirit of the game.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you

[@Patrick_0n]

I agree 100%

[@zipzip070]

We truly were fortunate, those us that grew up with the music to these games. Rich melodies, interesting chord progression, sometimes even complex time signatures. But in games about apes and bears collecting stuff. The arrangements are so on point in this and the playing is so clean and accurate. New, big fan.

[@kakufreaks]

How about we live in a timeline where such an incredible pianist dedicates her time to the same interests as us, her joy is contagious, I'm grateful for being able to appreciate such talent.

[@daben7145]

technical advancement and the enormous amount of cash that was poured into the videogame-industry made me belief that soundtracks nowadays would be so much better than they were 20, 25 years ago, it happens but most of it is just bland and forgetable. If I hear tracks from the SNES/n64/ps1 era I instantly know the region it took place in (if I played the game), can't say that for many modern games.

[@DJLennon]

I like that she sticks to the original sheet music and doesn't try to deviate into like a quicker improv for this performance....show's discipline.

[@KaraComparetto]

haha sometimes I improvise, most of my collections have a lot of improv, like my FF6, and Chrono cross. The Banjo Kazooie sheets were super dense and nice, not a lot of room for mixing it up 😂

[@Purrfect_Werecat]

i can never get enough old rare music. dk, banjo, conker, even perfect dark, so much joy when i listen to them!

[@padmeasmr]

Dear Kara I've been following you for years. You helped me decide to resume playing the piano 7 years ago almost from scratch. I still play to this day, even though I'll never be as good as you it makes me happy 🧡 so thank you, it's always a pleasure to listen to your music 🎵

[@KaraComparetto]

That is sooooo awesome, I love to hear that

[@EdinMike]

Phenomenal, it’s so funny there are days I do find myself whistling a lot of tunes from Banjo Kazooie without even noticing I’m doing it !

[@KaraComparetto]

click clock wood is my fav!!

[@EdinMike]

@@KaraComparetto it’s the tune from inside the church in Mad Monster Mansion that gets a sneaky whistle from me 🤣

[@3srs5U]

For *quick math*...good lord, NEARLY THREE DECADES now, at the turn of the seasons the Click Clock Wood theme always pops into my head for a few weeks.

[@glaciens23]

So this is were Tooty has been all this years! She learned piano while grewing up and made this nostalgic masterpiece! Thanks to share this with us and for warmth in my heart! I will hear this many more times in my life❤😊

[@KaraComparetto]

you got it exactly right haha! thank you!! XD

[@countryboyred]

Kara great job with including the “Yuh-Huh!” at the beginning just like Banjo. I play your music to my kids and they absolutely love it. They said the Gruntilda laugh was the best!

[@KaraComparetto]

That's so sweet, yes, make sure the young ones learn about these awesome games and music!!

[@countryboyred]

@@KaraComparetto I play some of your slower pieces when I lay them down for nap time and your more uptempo stuff when they want to dance and play, they love it. I want to introduce them to good music at a young age. Keep up the great work Kara, we are all big fans!

[@matthewjames1172]

calm down geeky! we'll get her back!

Just found your channel, now grinning from ear to ear. Thank you.

[@KaraComparetto]

YAY!! :)

[@sobul8069]

The left hand melodies are amazing, but what really got me (aside from the Tooty cosplay) was the rhythm in Mumbo's Mountain. A superb rendition all around.

[@wessummers2371]

Wow! That's quite an ambitious medley you've got there!

[@scott09g96]

I love everything about this. You did a fantastic job. The Tootie cosplay was an adorable touch.

[@peterrealar2.067]

Thank you Kara for playing music from a game CEMENTED from my childhood. True bliss.

[@FranEllen]

very nice! honestly, you play all these themee, from this and many other games with the right intention, many other players sounds good but they sound like if they never heard the original pieces, totally not your case, your playing totally is reminiscent of those themes 👏👏👏

[@KaraComparetto]

@@FranEllen thanks! I had just finished playing the game for the first time!

[@Eirik_Olavsson]

Oh yes, i look forward to this one! I had to giggle when i saw how ready gruntilda is to kidnap you from behind your back. Watch yourself!

[@KaraComparetto]

Hahah yeah! She shows herself a bit better in the video, you’ll see! 😂

[@Dovah21]

I think what sells your content to me the most is the expression of barely-contained joy on your face as you play. You clearly love doing what you're doing, and it's infectious. 🥰

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, you're right, I do love it!!

[@Matthew6418]

This game has my all time fav soundtrack! Spiral mountain is still my favorite track from this game!

[@GabeOwzer]

The Deku trombonist is an N64 sheet music beast!! So many arrangements from that console. Great playing!! 👏👏

[@SeabeeLand]

I'm a Seabee veteran and love being brought back to my childhood. It really helps. Thank you for your talent. Incredible skills. Thank you and God bless.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you

[@kronedog]

The outfit, the hair, the on point and beautiful piano playing from some of my favorite video game music of all time and favorite game. Love this!

[@brannycedeno6823]

Oh, so you're playing Banjo-Kazooie for the first time? I remember playing it as a kid back in the day, but never understood how to advance or anything. I just enjoyed the colors and the funny world it all happened in. Now, I'm actually playing it for real and decided to finish it. So far it's been a blast. Trust me. You'll love it even more. Now, time to continue watching. Hahahahaha

[@KaraComparetto]

Lol yes! I’m on click clock wood now, it’s so fun but hard!!

[@teaformulamaths]

Finally, the original songs, not every single sound effect in a playlist! well played!

[@classicsbycandace]

This performance put the biggest smile on my face!! I used to play Banjo-Kazooie all the time when I was a kid. Fun memories! Beautiful work, Kara!! ❤❤❤

[@jeffwhite1334]

Your piano / mix / EQ sounds amazing! Sounds great in the car and through phone.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you Jeff! I've been spending a lot of time in my audio software these days learning how to get better at it :) I think im improving too!

[@euclidesmelo8866]

22:00 Click Clock Wood SPRING.. just awesome. impressive to play just on piano. just that good.

[@YuzukiSeo0000]

I'm not too familiar with Banjo-Kazooie. However, there are some very tough pieces in here, with a lot of chromatic runs, and you played them so well! These are also mostly just very nice, fun, bouncy tunes to listen to that are great for some happy background music. I'm sure they were fun to play, but maybe also frustratingly difficult at parts.

[@KaraComparetto]

Yeah, just like the game! XD

[@cpuchip]

This was a fun treat to listen to, i played this game so much in my childhood that just listening to it brings back gameplay in my head, i still have my original game cart. I should fire it up. Thank you. Years ago i found the original soundtrack at thrist store, i got it and mailed it to my dad who used to listen to it on long road trip to stay away on long drives 😂

[@Rome.Monroe]

All the songs being in C makes it flow so well.

[@CrabMeatElite]

Kara, I just discovered you while searching for video game compositions. Here's a few observations: 1) You immediately strike me as a person who enters a room and the light fills the space. Truly, that is a rare, refreshing quality. 2) Your energy matches your playing style well from song to song. 3) Your attention to detail is noteworthy from the cosplay, playing, camera work, and editing.

[@KaraComparetto]

@@CrabMeatElite I love that, thank you so much for noticing all that!!

[@MajWinters100]

Yeeeeeeees! (Insert thor cheer scene from Thor:Ragnarok) Cute cosplay, btw. Only two days of wait, though. LOL Much love from Brazil, Kara

[@TrueLucinova]

I loved your Banjo vocalization, but dang was your Grunty laugh amazing too! This was really fun to listen to, nicely done

[@KaraComparetto]

LOL thank you, I’m gonna post a video soon on my alt account of all the gruntilda voice acting I did when I played the game on stream 😂 it was a fun game!!

Clankers Cavern is in my Top 5 favourite VG soundtracks. You nailed it and brought a joyous smile to my inner child. Thankyou

[@erikofskullisland3987]

It's so happy seeing someone having the TIME OF HER LIFE playing Banjo-Kazooie music. Rare was a rare one. (I see the thanks of Grant Kirkhope!). Liked Spiral Mountain, Gobi valley, Rusty Bucket Bay best. And once one starts one of your Complete ST or Mega medleys, you just gotta listen to the whole thing! You just have to.

[@sweetjohnny8211]

It's like watching a blonde Punky Brewster shredding on the piano. Thanks again for sharing with everyone!

[@RubyWpn1]

That's a pretty good thumbnail. I like everything about it ...hehe. The Banjo and Kazooie plushies look so kute. And I like how Gruntilda is sort of kamouflaged between some beautiful flowers and your gorgeously kosplaying self. 😂

Yeah gruntilda is hiding, she’s so cute though 😂

I really enjoyed this! Banjo Kazooie forever reminds me of summer break as a kid. Thanks for bringing back some good memories!

[@DukeDarkshadow]

That top-down angle is pretty funny once you get to Mad Monster Mansion since you can only see your hands. Reminds me of Motzand playing the organ in the church 😄

[@sklams]

Sooo good. Love seeing a brilliant artist bring so much energy into a performance!! These videos evoke so many good memories for so many of us! I could never get those left handed melodies when I played piano... 64 bit games had such intricate and complex melodies

[@tbishop3342]

Amazing game, so excited! Two other games I would love to hear are Advance Wars and Super Metroid.

[@HannahBanina]

That skrunkly little Gruntilda plushie is honestly such a mood. I love it and I want it 💚 Seriously tho, that is some genuinely awesome playing and music transcription. The transition from the title theme to Spiral Mountain was smooth as honey, and I ended up playing a mental game of “Oh What Are We Gonna Transition to Next?” somewhere in either Mumbo’s Mountain or Bubblegloop Swamp. So much joy and nostalgia elicited from me, definitely going to check out your _DKC1_ medley now 😁

[@ricardochong6834]

On one hand, it's either early or late for Halloween; on the other looks like someone is catching the spring fever happy. Love the way the music sheets magically change by themselves every time I look. Like the jazzy end. Well done Kara.

I'd say more spring fever hehe! And enthusiasm for this medley and the music!! Thank you Ricardo!

Literally every song in this game is a banger and her performance is very faithful to the game. Love it!

[@CyberneticHFX]

Your play style is so lovely! It is so pure to feel, hear and see how you transfer the power of your musical mind and soul into your hands to make that massive musical machine sound accordingly. You have a unique ability or so, that drives you to create jumpy sounds - it is so very cool! It sounds so playful! I do love it, so very much - like that! While watching and listening to your true powerful/sensible/playful tones, I developed so many tears in my eyes. If you were to do a concert with these music sheets along with such a massive musical machine somewhere, I would like to get there, where ever it may be at, and pay any price and wear my best noble outfit I can try to find relatively suitable. Oh my god, Tooty! Oh my god! I must find out more about you and your activities. I try to discover if Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie audio of yours, may be digitally purchased somehow. Now I am thinking about giving me another chance to try learning to play piano myself eventually in the future - I think the most relevant factor is willpower, relatively. From it, naturally comes the impulse of energy. But I have one small problem with one finger of one hand of mine. That always kept me thinking I may be incapable of truly playing a piano to the full extent deserving a player's music excellence. Eventually, I go to a music school and just show them my hands first, in order to clarify if/how I may have issues playing piano - I seriously wish to know that, once and for all. I would wish to not exclusively keep resorting to the computed generation of music forever just. As I did music which had to be based purely of off digital craft, so retrospectively talking. Besides diverting attention to me, ha forget it - please by happy when you can be Tooty sometimes! Certain moments are so pure and powerful. I wish you the best and much continued happiness!
