Homestuck: Purple Tyrant - Synthesia

[@SeahorseTrash]

In the beginning I'm like "hey maybe I could actually play this part", then it's just madness lol

[@hifiveanimation]

*harry pøtter wannabe

[@captaincrow5474]

Seahorse Trash Hello 2eadweller ii hate you platoniically

[@fairyjuggalo8368]

If you wanna play the madness part: slam your head into the piano

[@TiredEyePilot]

I probably couldn't even play the beginning I'm so trash

[@ego_peyseyshestvo]

lol i tried to play it because i had thought it was the easiest piece from homestuck it wasn't...

[@N0pleaseN0]

I showed the sheet music to my piano teacher, and she is so in love with it I'm learning it now *cries*

[@ebrdsht]

Good luck XD

[@ebrdsht]

yea... I taught myself the first 3 verses

[@N0pleaseN0]

I did it since then u..u (I split the really hard part to add a violin, that's not cheating, right?)

[@ebrdsht]

I don't even know if I can teach myself the rest honestly, I'm an amature at best (with this song, no)

[@N0pleaseN0]

Yeah, the speed is impossible... But if you can do the beginning, it's still pretty awesome :)

[@Prince_Monophobia]

*tries to find song to learn* hey this ones easy- *gets further in*

[@squinky1825]

*song starts* Finally, a good homestuck song I can play! 1:00 Well, its getting a little hard, but nothing I can't handle... 1:20 *sad Pepe*

[@lowlifegaming2552]

play the whole song but only with your right hand

[@patch141]

i bet you could play harlequin pretty easily.

[@davestrider2766]

tavern guy: Welcome to the salty platoon, how tough are ya? sandy: hOw ToUgH aM i? I can play purple tyrant *with one hand* tavern guy: uh right this way miss

[@comedustragedy6408]

I think this song would've worked better for Gamzee than The Grand highblood because the way it speeds up can represent Gamzees' slow decent into insanity

[@GaomonXX]

The Carnival also works for Gamzee

[@celestialjunipers6829]

Purple Bard should be for Kurloz because it has those ominous meows, representing his relationship with meulin. And its hard to read like his intentions

[@neonanarchist3918]

Ur right but it’s actually Kurloz’s theme

[@zuzeyan]

You can only play this song if you have BIG MEATY HANDS.

[@tamalli221]

The new Mozart has arisen.

[@CashewSpammer]

I find this... "Maybe I can play it, it looks easy enough..." //song gets faster// "oh um I can try.." //song progresses and starts seeming less and less playable// "well shit" //slams hands on piano in frustration// #AlmostEveryHomestuckSongEver

[@davestrider2766]

sad pepe noises

[@kadenpoisen4462]

When i saw the first word "purple" i instantly thought...Eriden Wweh

[@djracem8579]

I have successfully made it to 1:19..... my hands just die afterwards. and i started this like... two weeks ago... I'm playing so religiously actually... I have never taken a piano lesson ever in my life and im trying to make this be my first song for me to learn.... lord help me... I'll post in the comments any updates I have :P Wish me luck.... I'll need it... badly.

[@Makogeddon]

might i suggest "the carnival" if you want a similar-sounding gamzee song that is much more manageable as a beginner song?

[@donovanvargas9098]

Alright! I'll look into it, thanks! :D

[@zaggity]

so how is it,bro?

[@imaginationnone9297]

The first song i learned was megalovania ut version, learn to play a more managable song dude. this here is a nigh-impossible song. Just some advice

[@a-bird-lover]

Djracem I learned sunslammer, choral to pony, and the carnival pretty easily and I have almost no experience with a piano.

[@Vexiad]

i feel like nodding my head in time with the music but then i would get whiplash.

[@imaginationnone9297]

Hahahaha

[@virdamofromko-metru1161]

vV For anyone, who wants to play it, but is overwhelmed with number of notes Vv 1. It might seem impossible to play, but it's quite contrary. It's one of a few HS soundtracks, that can be played with two hands. 2. Once you've learned one of repeating motifs (even slowly), you can play a big chunk of this. (Like 1/4) (metronome helps in getting to faster tempo) 3. I tried. I can play, like 2/3, but I'm not determined enough to practice everyday, so if you are, you'll learn this fastly. (Also author: GREAT JOB!)

[@archaicconsul2278]

This piece is possible. After hours upon hours of practice I can attest to that

[@devinodriscoll]

I can play the opening sequence, but that's all.

[@archaicconsul2278]

I recommend looking online for the sheet music, then moving the left hand an octave down

[@devinodriscoll]

archaic Consul That actually helped a lot, thanks.

[@torberipoki4838]

WHaT THe FuCK

[@neonanarchist3918]

My friend can play the beginning but he has to stop there I don’t understand how you can play this

[@kinechikit9765]

I was able to do it until the end, yay me!

[@chronoroost]

KittenStar GachaFilms I guess your fingers are now stumps

[@FrozenxDeath]

Possibly the most badass thing about this song is that it has bits of Davy Jones' theme (Pirates of the Carribean) and Hedwig's theme (Harry Potter)

[@scylax7669]

If I had perfect memory and could tell my brain to remember all the notes to hit and play it perfectly, both of my hands would've been ripped in two. Good music.

[@jennahjackal2435]

Scylax kinda like gamzee in 2014 [S]GAME OVER

[@djracem8579]

+Jennah Jackal now it all makes sense!

[@soul-candii3184]

beginning: why this might seem nice to learn to play. oh this'll be fun middle: yeah nvrm ill just...fucking hell what

[@nevermorecol]

0:10 that's terezi's sign, Libra... Was it a coincidence??

[@Makogeddon]

Coincidentally someone actually did convert the midi to sheet music, I'll post a link in the description. And yeah, let me know if you attempt to cover this, because I'd like to see anyone attempt that.

[@musicallogicismml-musictob4542]

The link doesn’t work anymore, oof

[@janzelle123]

1:21 b ye

[@rhyse3048]

[@lemonlime9763]

*hands are on fire*

[@elizabethpumilat7963]

So beautiful~

[@caseylee2453]

*starts playing peice* Hah, I got this in the bag. *nears the middle* HOLY SHIT HOW U DO DIS

[@Sal-qk5ho]

You are now my god...

[@spazticpotato9514]

dear music teacher, play this and you shall be the new god

[@phantomnight3466]

i was like oh man this is going to be easy, as it progressed i only have ten fingers

[@Jarvik]

@3:15 I love those bass notes

[@superhpfan00]

Tempted to arrange this as a clarinet quintet with a bass clarinet player and the fast runs switching between parts so the poor sap on first doesn't get hand cramps. I'd probs have to take that last butt high run down an octave just so it's playable though...

[@MeDoMeer]

omg i'm practising 1:38 and it actually isn't that hard, only the speed Also i'm not practising the beginning but a friend of mine can do this very good

[@惠心Megumi]

This is so fast, there isn't even a proper name for a tempo higher than 208...

[@crystallineAurora]

Obscenely fast? That would work

[@惠心Megumi]

+Stefan Reimann I mean terms like 'Vivace' and such

[@crystallineAurora]

Nepeta - ah how about Impetuoso Energicamente?

[@惠心Megumi]

+Stefan Reimann That doesn't even exist But yeah that would work

[@crystallineAurora]

Nepeta - it does exist! The song Carousel uses it. It's then written as it's english translation: As Fast As Possible

[@apollograyling-hastur3995]

Kurloz's theme!

[@echoproductions5682]

Excuse me while I go grow a third fucking arm

[@rebeccakeim6399]

duuude, this would be awesome as a marimba trio. I'm pretty sure it could be done, because me and my percussionist friends can do some pretty sick runs.

[@happilywanderingsoul]

Thank You! I will post my attempt as soon as soon as I get some practice and find a camera with decent video and audio recording... It may be a while though....my goal is to make it at least a few measures in before I give up(which I likely will due to lack of air in my lungs and frustration....).... wish me luck!

[@Makogeddon]

That's probably because it might not even be possible to play. I have a video of me attempting to play the beginning and screwing up even though I was playing it too slowly. Man, you're right though, it would be.

[@beelzebubs0bum]

have yet to see someone do a live piano cover of this and also the Harpsichord version of this would sound pretty sick

[@drdaffyd7348]

Time to die as I attempt to play this on a mallet instrument

[@happilywanderingsoul]

Ok, I know I'm insane....but is there anyway I could get this in sheet music form so I could transcribe it to where I could (attempt to) play it on flute(or at least read it)?....Your translation is the best I've seen!.......It's fine if you don't have it, its just I can't read the video all that well....I would link you in my attempt should I ever post my it...If that's ok with you,of course!

[@lillianhardy1152]

I broke the replay button

[@godzilla12332]

now how are the rest of us gonna replay this video? WERE NOT D: you monster

[@lillianhardy1152]

godzilla12332 I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@godzilla12332]

Lillian Hardy ill forgive you but dont do it again :3

[@Sheerspeechcraft]

I can actually play this whole song, although I simplified it a lot, I'm thinking of going over it again to fix it

[@3fps2]

the sheet music cant be found anymore *cries*

[@itsyaboyjackagain]

(Watches with keyboard on lap) nope! *ollies outie!!!*

[@pokemonfan200zoroark]

AHHHHH,yus thank you,I've been looking for this song on piano~ uwu

[@happilywanderingsoul]

I soo wand to learn to play the main melody on flute(whats being played on the right)....I know its suicide(what with needing to breath on top of all the insanely fast runs I would need to worry about), but still....I really want to!

[@theastralproject]

So wonderfully creepy.

[@theamazingimptini]

I always wanted to do piano and don't have one or do lessons and this looks more impossible as it goes in... BUT SCREW IT I HAVE A PIANO APP AND I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE FIRST 20 SECONDS OF THIS, YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cronusampora4185]

What have I gotten myself into..

[@03error60]

imagine this song, now speed it up by 4x. now imagine being forced to play it at that speed

[@n00blyLP]

i am currently learning this song... I can play the biginning properly now and the part from 2:06 to 3:11 . only the right hand though, can't use my right and left hand simulataneously :I granted i started playing piano today :D

[@saityc]

If you have a double keyboard then it is possible.

[@tammythompson7371]

Love it and wow it goes fast lol

[@theorangeninja6486]

Needs some reverb but it's an accurate transcription

[@emeryhalliday1621]

Craaaaaaappp I have to learn this song for an English project.....I only know the first 3 seconds o.o I'm so screwed

[@saihanmarshall5287]

For English, but not for Music???

[@thebattleshipcondescension]

its been 7 years, howd it go dude?

[@dominosketch7175]

I've learnt the Carnival song and im starting to learn this i can play up to 1:00 :D

[@firehawks109]

I thought I heard “Table For Tooth” from Hiveswap

[@MichealIkruhara]

I noticed that at points 0:57 -1:34 and 3:12 - 3:16, there's a deeper note in the background that is omitted here. I'm assuming you did that to make the song playable, as playing those notes would seriously require at least 3 hands, but its missing none the less.

[@cloverholt8304]

I can play until thirty seconds... lord help me

[@starzparadox853]

I can only play the first minute, after that I gave up.

[@myrtheribbeling6382]

I already can play the first two minutes :3

[@mandapanda9292]

1:32 RIP everyone trying to play this

[@niceheadcrab34225]

MiRaClEs...

[@crybabybunny4571]

In the end it sounds like the Harry Potter theme music

[@jasperdoofenschmirtze832]

ur making us look bad, just stop
