Hollow Knight - Sealed Vessel [Piano Collections] & Boss Battle Gameplay

Hello all!
Believe it or not I made another Hollow Knight video LOL.
This is Sealed Vessal from the Hollow Knight Piano Collections.
I only have 7 more arrangements from the official piano collections book to record before I've played everything!
Something that I don't think I've metioned enough is that these official Hollow Knight Piano Collections were arranged by David Peacock and published by Materia Collective. These are available for purchase. The physical piano book is so beautiful btw!
Buy the sheet music here: bandcamp.materiacollective.co...
Also, I know my playing was sooooooooo bad in this gameplay footage LOL. I'm so rusty at Hollow Knight now...
Enjoy!

Wow! When I first fought this boss and the music changed I felt really sad, I felt like it wasn't a fair fight or how they just didn't want to fight anymore. I really love this theme, itt starts of a bit loud but then it changes as the second phase begins

[@iLikePiano]

Hey Tatyana! Yeah I like this theme a lot. It's so cool how it transforms it's mood and feel as it goes on.

[@domoru5264]

Well this “fight” it isn’t a fight it’s a mercy killing to end the suffering of your older sibling who sacrificed himself for everyone but the love he held for the king queen and kingdom was his downfall he wasn’t truly hollow

[@hhenvz]

i can feel it, this fight was really... sad. as the phases goes i was understanding more and more about the "lore" and... the fight itself is sad xD, i love this theme but it makes me feel horrible for ending a sibling's "despair" tho...

[@casteg308]

No words to say this is perfect :)

It's so much better than the "official" version, I feel bad for the original pianist. Please use Ryan for the official Silksong release!

[@dannadeleon7787]

Sin mente para pensar. Sin voluntad que quebrar. Sin voz que grite de sufrimiento. Nacido de dios y el vacio. Sellaras la luz cegadora que asola sus sueños. Eres el receptáculo. Eres el Hollow Knight.

[@gunaraj2626]

Sealed Vessel what a heartbreaking song! 🥺 Wow bro! 😲 What an incredible interpretation, you have left me stupefied.

[@iLikePiano]

It truely is heartbreaking. The tragic journey this music takes you through is pretty incredible.

[@LetsGoLoe]

This is one of my favorite pieces and as per usual your performance captures the essence perfectly!!! Super dope!!!

[@iLikePiano]

Thank you Louis! I didn't like this piece when I first played through Hollow Knight but learning this arrangement and recording the boss fight made me realize just how awesome it actually is. It takes you through a tragic journey that the other boss themes don't really do. It's amazing.

[@foreverafanfilmmusic]

OK, to me they were two parts to this music, the completely epic, oh my gosh I cannot see your fingers move kind of epic! Then there was the lush, almost tender parts where you are slowly and lovingly just stroking the keys. It was almost as if there was a passionate love scene taking place in the middle of an epic battle! I will say this much, even if I didn’t like the piece, and I absolutely loved it, I would have still been totally moved by how well you played this piece and how fast your fingers were moving!! Well done my friend

[@melisaarslan9505]

I genuinely got chills from this! This song is just so beautiful.

[@iLikePiano]

Thanks again! I'm pretty proud of this recording. I'm usually not happy with my recordings but I think this one turned out really well.

[@FrostyTheSnowPickle]

A brilliant piece to accompany a brilliant battle. As the battle progresses, you realize it’s not a battle at all, but rather, assisted suicide.

[@GoodKnightNintendo]

This song is an emotional roller coaster! And you did it justice! Thank you!

[@iLikePiano]

Yeah it completely is a roller coaster. This piano arrangement amplifies that part of it too.

[@andrebarcelos3114]

I so loveeeeee this piece! My favorite !! It contains lots of sorrow, but is somehow powerful, just like your performance.【Although I've spent a plenty of time on practicing this arrangement but still cannot play as well as you>

I've been looking what exactly is a _palm cluster_ and I wasn't disappointed lmao 1:50

[@hannesc.9823]

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to build in the synthesia/MIDI effect! I d love to hear how hard you find the music to play and perform on a medium level?

[@iLikePiano]

Sealed Vessel specifically? I think for an intermediate level it's very well possible. The hardest part is the 16th notes and the 3 against 4 section. The rest of it is very manageable.

[@taiya7312]

I recently got the hollow knight piano collections book and can play dirtmouth and can play bits of others like city of tears, hollow knight crossroads etc. I’m trying to attempt this and I can play the fist page out of 6, have you got any tips for the remainder of the fast section 😂😭

[@1stvelkoz941]

It's more realistic then the real game!

[@raystargazer7468]

[@ultimateaura7629]

I'm learning to play this piece as well, but the nonuplet in the 38th measure is giving me a lot of trouble and is pretty much the only part stopping me from playing the whole piece without mistakes consistently. Do you perhaps have any tips for that part?

[@iLikePiano]

What fingers do to use for it?

[@ultimateaura7629]

@@iLikePiano yeah I've tried a couple of different ways to play it, but I always seem to get in the way of myself or just trip over the keys. Maybe it's just a skill issue or there might be a different way to play it that I hadn't thought of yet

[@1stvelkoz941]

4:20 how do you play this part? I am practicing it, but I don't know how to play this part

[@iLikePiano]

When notes are written in boxes like that with no indicated note value, it means it's kind of improvisational. Play the notes in order they are written with whatever note value you want to play them (quarter notes, 8th notes, 16ths or whatever) and repeat it as you wish. The tremolo in measure 94 needs to continue also while you play the notes in the box. You can think of the higher notes in the box as just bouncing off the notes in the tremolo. Hope this makes sense :)

[@1stvelkoz941]

@@iLikePiano Thanks of the tip! So the notes in the box can be played as I want it to in order, the tremolo needs to be play with the notes in the box. Now I think I know play it:)

[@iLikePiano]

@@1stvelkoz941 Yes, like what is written there, it should all sound like a shimmer :)

[@EclipseSystem]

personally would've loved it even more if the different sections of the song lined up with the phase changes in the gameplay. amazing piano playing nonetheless!! I've always loved how epic yet somber this song feels

[@iLikePiano]

That would have definitely been pretty cool if I managed line up the footage with the music. It is a sad piece of music yet somehow cool and epic at the same time :)
