I watched this song and i was like "So beautiful, but so hard! I can never do this :c" Then i just started playing it and while doing that i got so motivated by the song that i kept going on. I got through the hard parts and now i can play it. I'm telling you guys, it's definitaly worth it!!

this is the perfect song to learn when starting out because it gets gradually more difficult

[@valkoth]

Wow, dude nice! Took me a minute into the video to realize that this audio wasn't ripped from the video of him playing. This is probably one of the best transcriptions I've seen. Dynamics do wonders.

[@redwingblackbird8306]

Isn't that what lots of music creation is? I got these notes, what if I used these instruments to play them, what if I modify the sound of the instruments? listen, change settings, re-arrange the notes a little, add a few more notes. Seems very creative.

Deadmaus would be so stinking proud of Duffy

[@MikkelKBH1990]

I seriously hope that Deadmau5 have not become to big to one day stumple/stumble? upon this awesome piano version of his awesome track here on KZbin, and still be grateful that there are people in this world who are such huge fans of the really good Mau5 music from "back in the days" that they make a piano version this awesome! Thank you for this, you are now my new piano god Mr. Evan Duffy!

Had to shorten it a bit because I'm lazy, but I'm happy to say after a solid year or two of starting and giving up on learning this I've finally made it 4 minutes in. Broke a sweat after playing for a few hours.

[@hoarishgoat5467]

Lol

[@LuigiFTMario]

I have to agree, some parts of this song are really stretched and repetitive, I also shortened some passages in the middle

[@xTediousx]

I've been hoping that someone would transcribe Evan Duffy's arrangement to MIDI for ages! I cannot thank you enough for doing this, finally I can learn to play the song like my idol does! Synthesia is one of my best tools for learning music, right beside my own two ears. THANK YOU!

Arunisrelativelycool ahmm well the amounts of time I practice really variate. Sometimes I play everyday for a week, sometimes I dont play for 2 months. I got it in 2.5 years but I didn't practice that much on it. If I practiced more/ only calculate thr amount of time I put into it, I'd have gotten it in a few months I think

@@mcgrey_ I kinda understand, I get like that sometimes. For example, Zohar's Corridors of Time is an extremely difficult song for me. Every time I think I learn a part and listen to it again, I find that there are some parts that I missed, so I have to relearn certain parts of it.
