🎹 Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree - 'Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame' on Piano

[@jskakajshbsakk]

Your performance is so insane it literally inflicts frenzy

[@IGON_DRAGONSLAYER]

Lmao

[@Bacon-i9g]

Just use a boluse.

[@Slow407lunch-y6q]

You could say its absolute madness 😉

[@Bacon-i9g]

My guy shoi miwasawa composed the best piece of music of the century for an orchestra, this guy did it with 2 hands

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

I love disturbing pieces, odd chords are my favorite.

[@partimentieveryday]

You would

[@balladin9200]

ofcourse it's scriabin lol

[@balladin9200]

my 3rd favorite composer after ravel and rach ngl

[@kasrajafary4104]

It was an interesting describing

[@adityagandhi5040]

Not surprising coming from Scriabin (When's the next piece dropping man?)

[@Zugrwow]

Fuck yes, I fell in love with Midra’s theme the moment I heard it. The quiet, fading ending is a really nice touch.

[@imannam]

5:24 I love the solo singer, he sounds so lonely and pained. But it ends with a peaceful note, it resolves. It's not all agony in the end, and the King in Yellow didn't have to endure any longer

[@11bats]

i haven't even considered to compare the frenzy to the king in yellow, that's brilliant

[@Emanon616]

I never would have thought a single piano performance could ever hold so much as a candle to the original. Obviously this doesn't hit quite as hard as the original song, but it's a single instrument doing the job of a full choir and orchestra hired by a triple A gaming studio known for it's incredible songs, and this is simply amazing. I know very little about music, the most knowledge I have is that it's nice to listen to. But regardless, as somebody who knows absolutely nothing about the effort that goes in to this sort of thing (and is just now starting to feel the effects of his Ritalin), I can say with out a shadow of doubt in my mind, that this is incredible. Well done.

[@maverick5474]

"THE DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOILISHNESS" to attempt such a piece! I love this so much, you can totally feel the dance between madness and sanity, hope and despair! Amazing work as always!

[@samueleborn9909]

But Aqare was not foolish to attempt this, the flame that drove them to do this is not a flame of madness, but a flame of ambition 😉🔥

[@HeevaEgo]

the GOAT is returned, to be granted audience once more!!

[@Bacon-i9g]

Nice. Now i can't hear a C# without being reminded of this.

[@BrocReed]

This is one of my favorite FromSoft themes yet, I've been looking forward to a piano transcription so much! Thanks!

[@AqareCover]

It's definitely one of my favorite themes in the game as well. Thanks for watching!

[@minerman60101]

With some adaptions like this, it can be hard to tell what the original song was. Not here: you instantly know it's Midra's theme. Beautiful composition!

[@h74c45]

The fact that it took you less than a month to convert this chaotic piece is insane, it took me half a year to play godrick the grafted theme you converted while back!

[@RoryStarr]

This is one of the most vibrantly creative songs I've heard in years. The harmonies are wild.

[@para-noxis]

I'm so happy to live in the same time as ER composers and you. Eargasm for sure.

[@GreenTea4]

the chromatic melody at 1:52 makes my brain tickle and the way it returns in 2nd phase at 4:03 is so satisfying! great job man, this is unreal.

[@UprisingGrand]

Ahh yes the usage of tritones in this piece is menacingly beautiful. Great performance as always. 🖤

[@AqareCover]

Thanks so much for your comment UprisingGrand!^^

[@gufus3045]

I knew this was a very hard piece to transcribe into piano, but holy you did not disappoint at all! I can see the struggle to adapt it to piano in parts like 1:51 where there are a lot of layers to cover, but you managed to keep the strong main melody among all the "chaos", i was very surprised. I also noticed that, unlike the original track, you highlighted the violin part in phase 2, the one that holds the melody of the frenzied merchant theme; i liked that decision. I hope you'll keep doing arrangements such as this and i suggest you to cover "Romina, the Saint of the Bud" next, that one could prove pretty interesting in some parts.

[@AqareCover]

Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, from all pieces I've ever covered in 8 years of KZbin, this one was probably the hardest one to arrange; every note was carefully chosen. And a Romina cover might come one day!

[@soggywater123]

@@AqareCover I would die for a romina cover 😭🙏

[@imannam]

​@@AqareCover harder than the last one??? damn, I imagined Dancing Lion would be harder to adapt

[@stevenbormguitar]

@@soggywater123 I did a Romina cover for guitar, in case you would die for that as well 🙃

[@LudwigVanLarx]

BROOOTHER, I was having a conversation about this piece being arranged for piano yesterday and here you are haha. Awesome work!

[@AqareCover]

From all songs in the DLC this one is probably the hardest to arrange for piano haha, but crazy timing

[@ninjalnninjaln3196]

Wow, just wow! This is my favourite theme of the DLC and I was searching for a piano version. Better than this is impossible.

[@luhbungus]

one of the craziest things ive heard, maddening how you can even play this

[@juliansenni6279]

The depth of your FOOLISHNESS 🔥🔥

[@JoaoVitor-ji9vy]

a transisão entre a primeira e a segunda é tão satisfatório 🤌🤌🤌com os arpejos mais baixos aumentando cada vez mais, e aí se inicia a segunda faze com um peso adicionado em cada compasso, lindo demais.

[@mt2r-music]

Babe wake up, new Aqare soulsborne arrangement dropped. Amazing performance as always. It’s always so impressive to see you adapt every small detail.

[@kurokofs113]

finding this channel for xenoblade piano covers was one of my best accidents, every cover is stellar

[@Gozieaaa]

FINALLY THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS WAITING FOR SO LONG IT'S FINALLY HERE THE BEST THEME IN THE DLC ON A PIANO LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

[@moonlapsepiano]

So happy you chose to do this one, and you did it justice for sure. Looks like it was very challenging to arrange - I love the little pauses you injected throughout. Incredible performance as always! Well done.. this is "the execution of a damnation like no other." 💜

[@AqareCover]

Thank you, glad you liked it! Yeah every single note is very carefully chosen, even if some parts sound like pure chaos

[@kathrinelychik]

This is incredible! Probably my favorite track from the DLC and you've arranged it beautifully!

[@AqareCover]

Means a lot, thanks!

[@rjparsons3664]

This piece so accurately represents the concept of "rising boundless power running off the rails" ❤

[@My_Legs_Are_OK]

Probably my favorite DLC soundtrack. Maybe Romina too, but this one is just great. The cover is very cool too. Thanks for the sheet music!

[@boatman783]

godDAAAAMMNNNN this is incredible song of despair part blew me away actually

[@seventyfour8256]

This theme is a masterpiece on it s own level. One I ll defininely remember every note, since I ve listened to the extended version of it for so long.. ..And also the way I got to experience it. Blind playhthrough, relatively short after DLC relese and I was awaiting some sick followup cinematic and fought through that smooth phase one. And suddenly at half health he begins doing different moves and I think to myself "oh that s a neat phase 2" - when in reality it was only the preparation for his phase transition, which he did and suddenly the entirety of the hall was lit on fire by the Flame of Frenzy, his idles seem to decrease in time and he becomes more agressive and the OST becoming louder and louder as if descending into madness. I ve always found it funny since in the game you refer to it as "The Lord of Frenzied Flame", when really, it follows the pattern: King, Lord, God, Outer God. With the Flame of Frenzy as your Outer God you technically ascend to goodhood on the spot, like Midra did. You sacrifice everything so that the Flame of Frenzy can take controll. Definitely one of the coolest cutscenes, when Midra, The Lord of Frenzied Flame casually twists the seal, which with he was bound, into a (movesetwise) Light Greatswod, whilst still holding onto that broken off piece, still in his other hand and using it as a seal (indicator for his "incantations"), and not only that but also casually using it as a dagger in close combat, all whilst remaining that eerie, surreal posture. That guy has like insanely little lore but will always be etched into my memory as one of the most FIRE bosses in the entirety of the fromsoft genre. (litterally)

[@thebigcheese1961]

One of my favourite songs from the dlc, so happy to listen to it on piano. Keep up the amazing work

[@AqareCover]

Thank you! I also really love this piece

[@TripleARawn]

Outstanding arrangement and performance as ever! You can really feel Midra's arc in this one. And a great coda to top it all off, it really felt like the frenzy was quieting down and Midra finally got some peace

[@megaponful]

I have been waiting so long for this. Thank you.

[@Luna_ily_F]

THIS IS SO EXCITING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR COVER OF THIS SONG EVER SINCE I HEARD IT FOR THE FIRST TIME 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

3:12 may chaos take the world ! Indont know a need a midra's ost piano version until this

[@SheruMuko]

Thank you for another amazing video.

[@AqareCover]

Thank you for watching!

[@fuzzywolf]

Great arrangement of an amazing track! What's left now is to hope that someone will make one that we, mere mortals, could play.

[@raven9376]

That’s impressive playing and arranging! 🎹

[@quirrelllwiththreels]

DUDE I WAS JUST WISHING YOU HAD A COVER OF THIS SONG I AM NOW JOYOUS

[@SienfieldNeil]

I believe the original song (or at least the main melody of it) is written in C# hungarian minor, i.e. C# harmonic minor with a raised 4th. In case you haven't noticed

[@dyroth]

Absolutely mesmerizing to watch, every note is perfect, what an incredible arrangement and performance! Can’t wait to loop this for hours while playing minecraft

[@renkii_0]

Two of my favorite KZbin composers 😂 surprised to see you here

[@dyroth]

@@renkii_0 big fan of aqare :) I often study his transcriptions to see how the composers write their pieces for inspiration, and his vids are very accurate for a large range of the instruments in the entire track

[@johnnydinh8332]

Please do a synthesia like this for your Dialga Fight To The Finish song. Love your videos!

[@AqareCover]

I might remake that cover one day because the Mystery Dungeon covers mean a lot to me personally, but if you would like to have a Synthesia version of that song right away it's possible for anyone to download the MIDI file from my Patreon and just open it in any Synthesia-like editor, such as Embers for example, which is free. But that's just for information, it could be that I remake that video one day, even though it probably won't happen very soon. Thanks for your comment!^^

[@Mediocre_Pianist]

This is so damn cool, think you might take a shot at Shaman Village as well? Thanks for sharing this.

[@Sarydormi]

Shaman village is just Elden Beast with only harps. Kindness of gold, without order. And there are, like, ~5 notes, repeating again and again. Imo, in reality you want Elden Beast cover.

[@Mediocre_Pianist]

@@Sarydormi you’re absolutely right, that piece has more than enough to reference for some fun improv. Thanks! 👍

Thank you, means a lot! In the country where I studied piano nothing is really divided into grades, but as someone who has played almost all Liszt etudes I can say that it's on a comparable level, so basically the highest possible level when speaking in terms of classical music
