Gotta appreciate the fact that this final boss theme of a full franchize plays while you're fighting a random old man in a random desert over a cup of paint. This is the longest cover I've ever made and one of the hardest covers of all due to its length and lack of repetition. Even if there are longer videos on my channel, they are only as long because I looped them or because they're medleys. Also, I actually played this way faster than the original. Maybe it would've been easier to actually play it in the speed of the original. Oops. Amount of notes in this cover: 4538 Next cover at the beginning of August, a pretty epic new Xenoblade 3 theme.

@@erckupazo oh no you didn’t just said that. Symphony 5 isn’t just “duh duh duh dun”. The multiple voicing, the development from the initial theme and all the ornaments was just on point. You can say it’s boring and that’s understandable cuz classical music isn’t for everyone. But saying this has more depth than Beethoven? That would just be plain ignorance. This piece although sounded epic, is definitely very shallow when it comes to musical ideas development.

@AqareCover Жыл бұрын
That's actually a technique called organ point that is being used to make something sound serious. You're right, the bass doesn't need to be complex at all for something to sound good, but the bass staying the same is actually not a way of making it simple but rather a deliberate technique to give it the right character. If you analyze the harmonies of Dark Souls themes, they are actually pretty much the most complex in all of gaming.

This man did his absolute best to make up for the unfortunate handicap of not being born with three or four fully functioning arms and hands. Seriously, though, can't even imagine how hard this was, especially doing it all in one take. The complexity of the original piece does not lend it well to being transposed to a single person at a piano, though this orchestration did a phenomenal job of preserving the important parts of the song while also allowing time for shit like hand movements and accounting for the fact that no one person can physically play three or four lines at the same time. You see similar issues with people trying to play 8bit songs, like from the Pokemon games. It's just not possible to play a song requiring three hands with only two.
