Ori and the Blind Forest OST // Piano Suite

I've wanted to record this for the longest time!
Is this becoming a trend, me not being entirely satisfied with a recording? I love the Ori and the Blind Forest soundtrack so much I've tried to record this for literal years, I just never liked my previous attempts enough to post them. If I had to compile them I'm pretty sure I have around a hundred different test recordings. My heart feels a tad lighter now that it's here, I hope it turned out alright!

This is so stunning. I happened to stumble across your Will of the Wisps medley, I'm so happy you had sheets for that. Anyway, You definitely have another subscriber, I really appreciate your interpretation of Ori music, and am excited to hear more. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion

[@triplea657aaa]

A criminally underappreciated suite from a criminally underappreciated game. Kudos to what is probably the best Ori and the Blind forest piano suite. You have moved me and I am definitely a subscriber of your now and forever.

[@NintendoGamer789]

wtf I thought that game was a critical hit

[@valkyria6699]

"underappreciated"...

[@skantorizh]

Caliko, you mastered very well how to open your deep and sensitive soul using only two hands. It's very special feeling to see how the piano keys are touching by your fingers. I love your music and your sheet transcriptions. Thank you.

[@michaelvastarelli8019]

I just discovered this. I've never played this game or heard its soundtrack, but I love it. It's definitely going on my list of things to learn.

[@michaelvastarelli8019]

@Guardian Spirit I'll take it under advisement. It does look like a really cool game. 🙂

[@fayherinn]

WOW, ori and the blind forest + kingdom hearts + final fantasy, a perfect youtube channel for me.

[@moriahkesinger183]

You’re videos always come out beautiful! You’re such an amazing piano player. 😊

[@ggvikky7138]

This is so amazing! You always capture the original feeling of these songs so well that whenever I see a new cover from you in my sub box I always know it's going to feel amazing and authentic to the original and I get so excited! Thank you so much for covering some of my favorite OST's of all time!

[@PeyCa]

This definitely turned out alright! After so many test recordings, it certainly paid off. You captured the original feeling soooo well.

[@dankbabyturtle7233]

So relaxing, I love it! Keep up the great work 👍

[@krystofpavlis4407]

This is one of my favourite video game OSTs ever, thank you so much for covering it. I only completely finished the game a few days ago, so this is perfect timing! 😄

[@dankbabyturtle7233]

I love to listen to you play, it's very relaxing and nice to calm down to. Thank you.

[@234takashi]

You’ve done an incredible job with this cover Caliko 👍 Keep up the good work.

Huge thank you for this piano play! That is beatiful, and the Ori games are fascinating, and- keep going!! :>

[@DavidRussell323]

This is so clean! Lovely playing!

[@Caliko]

Thank you!

[@fulmel5064]

Beautiful! This music is always beautiful and I like youre execution

[@mangodsky2809]

I think it's normal that when you love a certain music a lot and it is special to your heart you would want it to be perfect :) no need to worry though I liked your mellow interpretation:)

[@MaleficWeegee]

You've gone and made me want to check out the original now. This is pretty nice. Thanks for the upload.

[@sbrl]

You're in for a treat if you haven't yet listened to the original! Don't forget there's both the OST and the definitive edition OST - and both can be found on yt.

[@SolKnightt]

Great job playing it!! 👏👏 You were brilliant!

you're my inspiration to be a pianist ♡♡♡

[@vmg15]

Subbed. Your channel deserves so many more views.

[@GameurForEver]

Incredible interpretation, your arrangements really shine in every cover that you make. I absolutely loved Ori and Gris and that same passion is apparent in your work. Thanks

[@sebbc6075]

one word, beautiful

[@pianoel6419]

Beautiful! Reminded me that I still need to finish this game o:

[@kevindankar5190]

Do not worry I can assure you that you played it very well ^^

[@dj_okmr]

This is great

[@biology-of-life]

Just WOW! :D

[@ridgero]

Wow! It’s pure pleasure to listen to your music. How did you get good in playing the Piano? Do you have a practice routine or online lessons you can recommend? Thank you! Btw Ori is one of favorite games, WotW is coming out in one week!! :) Cheers Wolfgang

[@Lemmingmeister]

I would love to be able to play that too ... fantastic ...;)

Good work

[@tbnone844]

if you were aiming for BEAUTIFUL & FEELS, you nailed it. BRB, need a tissue

[@SolKnightt]

Would you ever consider releasing an album of your work (CD and/or digital)? I keep coming back to your vids just to listen to 'em all the time. So good!

[@vincepro7619]

Can I have your piano arrangement sheet☹️ my heart felt so much lighter after hearing this.. this is beautiful

[@hugono3938]

DA BÖSENDORFER!!

You have a good job 😉

[@sbrl]

Hey, I like this! Which sheets are you using?

[@skantorizh]

She makes her own sheet transcriptions for each music piece.

[@sbrl]

@@skantorizh wow, so talented! I doubt they'll be released but if they did I'd love to play them

[@skantorizh]

@@sbrl She's got a page on Musescore with much of her transcriptions and arrangements.

[@xavier7620022008]

hermoso

[@dragondiana8]

wow, that's one of the best piano covers of Ori and the blind forest if've ever heard (Because it's sounds so sentimental) - I'm also playing piano so I'm think I know what I'm talking about. I have a request: did you notated your adaptation? Because I think thats one of the best covers I've found on KZbin and I would try to play it also (just private).

[@Caliko]

Thank you! But sorry, I have no sheet music - arranged / improvised it by ear

[@dragondiana8]

@@Caliko Wow, thats really neat! I can only arrange and improvise in singing. Improvising in piano a little bit, but playing piano by ear... also, but not so neat like that. I need time for this and arrange in piano... eeeeeh with.... much time. So that's okay :) just keep playing and don't lose the joy of playing piano :)

This is gorgeous, will you make the sheet music available?

[@melissashiel3076]

Is this a big medley of the main theme

Is there the sheet music anywhere?

[@aru8536]

Would you mind if I try to transcribe this? I am inexperienced and knowing me it will probably take a year, but this piece is really beautiful.

[@Caliko]

No problem, you can transcribe it! Sometimes I do it myself but it takes sooo much time. Good luck!

@@Caliko Thank you!

[@hugono3938]

Did you manage to pull it off a year later?

Do you play by ear?

[@Caliko]

Yeah, I did play this one by ear. I use sheet music more often though
