That syncopation is just 👌

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thank you Smrtas!! Appreciate it - I love syncopation 💜

[@RuthwikRao]

that shit had me stank face throughout, sheeeeesh

[@yepelaugh]

Another fantastic arrangement. You never fail to capture the original essence of the piece, even though many of them are orchestral. 😀

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thanks Yepe, I do try to keep it as accurate as possible while still making it playable with two hands, its a fun process. Appreciate the comment!

Your music theory knowledge is way above what i can comprehend. I wish I found a way to get this into my head. Great arrangement 👍

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thank you! I will try to see if I can make my future theory breakdowns more easy to understand :) It is such a fun topic

[@Caliko]

I saw you in my comment section and on a whim decided to check out your channel, and I'm so thoroughly impressed! Your music theory breakdown has me bowing to your expertise, taking a piece apart like that is something I'm still so, so far from achieving. Has me wishing I could discuss things I try to transcribe with you, honestly! I'll definitely be following your channel and reading the descriptions - lots to learn here! As for the track itself, it's so ingrained in my memory. At some point when playing Elden Ring, I decided that I'd go through my own training arc and learn to fight the Bell Bearing Hunter in Caelid, of all places, because I didn't know he appeared in other areas too. It took me a week or two in sum, but it was so rewarding when I finally got him! I look back on it fondly. And on the music, too.

Thank you so much Caliko! I have been watching your videos for so long so it means a lot to hear you say this, I really appreciate it. Comments like this help me get really excited and motivated about continuing to grow my channel. I am happy to discuss transcription/theory anytime 💜it's my favorite part about arranging. And yeah this song got so ingrained in my head from doing that Bell Bearing hunter way too early, just like you. This song plus his red lightsabers really is one of the most memorable things from Elden Ring for me. I knew it wouldn't be the most popular track to cover but it needed to be done lol

[@LudwigVanLarx]

Well done! One of the most underrated tracks in the game for sure and you did a fantastic job translating it to piano!

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thanks Ludwig - I do agree it is severely underrated lol

[@CthulhuSeeker]

me like 😳

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thanks CthuluSeeker, looking forward to your next synthwave arrangement

I’ve been hyped for every single one of your videos after seeing Lichdragon Fortisax. I really hope you do Godskin Apostles sometime in the future!

[@Lepoetism]

You are back with another masterpiece, good job, bro:)

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thanks Allmaster, I appreciate you continuing to check my videos out!

This piece always reminds me of Game of Thrones for some reason. I've never watched the show but it just has a particular vibe to it that strikes me that way. Elden Ring's music really showed a different side to Fromsoft and I love it. Great arrangement! You can really hear the harmonic movement very well.

[@moonlapsepiano]

Yeah it does remind me of GoT. Placidusax does as well. Thank you for watching! :)

[@wraithwrecker_]

omg the ending was so nice!

[@moonlapsepiano]

thank you! I am glad you liked that part, it encourages me to try less “perfectly played” and more human sounding sections in the future

[@SilverwingedBat]

This track has always struck me as slightly Zelda battle music sounding-but-darker for some reason and I feel hearing it in a different context here really gives me that sense even more if we were to put it on older soundchips haha. As for the actual arrangement the section at 1:22 sounds absolutely beautiful in your arrangement as well as the more somber second half. Really fits the vibes of fighting these people at night. A beautiful example of dissonance. Once again glad I found your channel, keep it up!

[@moonlapsepiano]

Thanks SEKI I am glad you are here! And yes this whole track is a masterclass in dissonance lol. You’re making me want to try an 8bit version…
