A piano arrangement of Descend by Toby "Radiation" Fox, from MSPA's Homestuck. This was done entirely by ear and from memory.

YOU INCLUDED THE SQUIDDLE PART IM SO HAPPY

[@garbagehamsandwich5851]

THE SQUIDDLE PART YOU ARE THE BEST

[@Maiomi_Beans]

Harmony Hitzeman Lol it was so perfect XD

[@VohnExel]

Jack Noir and those jazz sounds just fit together so well. Such an awesome moment. Really cool!

[@jiro6251]

VohnExel not cool MAGNIFICENT

[@NotCreativeEver]

first time hearing this in 11 years and it’s still as great as back then

[@LunarLemonade]

I think we can all agree that Homestuck is its own genre. (Okay, maybe you can put these under experimental symphony, but it's cooler to say 'The genre of music I am listening to is Homestuck')

[@DrakarusBonehelm]

Strife specibus Pianokind? Your good.

[@Cortalian]

Arron Viscreal Weapon: Sbupiano Has no effect outside of stunning the underlings from pure amazing and skill of pieces played. The more complex the longer they are amazed.

[@DrakarusBonehelm]

Cortalian Yes. Unlike the more aggressive guitarkind, which bares the special attack, 'Showboating'... :P

[@Cortalian]

Arron Viscreal Oh yeah, I know all about that one, my friend uses it, he won't stop doing very loud riffs over and over. I prefer Pipeorgankind myself, a bit cumbersome but worth it when it works.

[@DrakarusBonehelm]

Cortalian Very much so. However, pairing that with pipekind means that your never unarmed. :P

[@beckyzyvonoski7156]

Dangit, tho most complex thing I can use is cymbalkind.

[@godzilla12332]

i need the full squiddle song on piano and i need it now

[@SargonsEye]

And the "Fhsjhejwhejhcjwehrjhjh" (Screen-chaning) effects added were IMPRESSIVE. HELL MAN, YOU MADE THIS TRANSPIRE!

[@Frindleis]

Very nice playing. Gotta say though, the static is really loud and abrasive compared to the music. I'd tone it down a bit if I were you.

[@aoitori7212]

I kind of wished he would have kept it all piano. Like if used a slight glissando as each transition.

[@WasNotHereIsHere]

The part right after the Squiddle Theme gives me chills.

[@hectobreak]

The genre is called THE AWESOMEST THING EVER MADE

[@DX795Q]

I love how the squiddle interlude is kept.

[@lilweirdo321]

HOLY FUCK. THAT WAS AMMMAAZZZINNNGG. and thats all there is to say on that matter.

[@raika90379]

It's the bgm to a scene in the web comic homestuck. I don't know of any specific genre that I'd put it into but if you're looking for similar music on the piano I'd look into soundtracks from rpgs and anime. Even if the original songs aren't on the piano there are often piano covers of them.

[@Blitz-tk4jh]

This. I can’t even put how great this is into words.

[@Blitz-tk4jh]

lmao i cant believe i used fucking punctuation and caps like a loser

[@subspace2913]

hard to believe this video is 10 years old

[@Ph0enixRush]

This makes me want to cry. Gahh. I am truly amazed at your talent.

[@ChiiRayne]

hold on....i got to check to make sure my eyebrows are still on.....NOPE! they was blown away by the awesomeness of your talent!!!!!

[@Sargentleman]

@Goatmon every single one of them was prototyped with atleast 1 dead/non-living thing Dead Bird, Dead Kat, Dead Jade, Dead Grandma Dead Lususes 2 of the children's kernels took living things, which is probably a parity thing that means something somewhere at some point.

[@FutureKarkat]

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VIDEO TASTES DELICIOUS.

[@Nanowith1]

Homestuck don't need no genre! It creates genres! Though you could probably find similar songs on the Homestuck Bandcamp.

[@flaetsbnort]

I shed a single cyan tear of liquid happiness. This is going to go well with my fan-made piano remixes of Aggrieve and Beatdown (which were incidentally made by Radiation, before he joined the music team I reckon).

[@discordedpyro6288]

Beautiful. the only word to describe.

[@blondiemom99]

Someone get this guy a fricking medal.

[@Izumayaki01]

Oh holy crap, I got goosebumps at the ending bit.

[@tvguts]

Oh man, when you played that middle part, images of Jack Noir just, like, flashed through my mind. Awesome job man, awesome job.

[@Kindle147]

Thank you so much for sheet music. Next project, here i come!

[@Fabletally]

How are you and Do The Musicy Thing so GOOD AT PIANO

[@zerglingist]

Practice, I hear the piano is actually one of the easiest instruments to play.

[@Fabletally]

Larksong G Yeah, thats probably true ahaha. I play piano too, but my keyboard is really crappy, so i kind of get discouaged because it makes things sound so boring :V

[@zerglingist]

I also play piano too! But im no good at it. Can do half of moonsetter though, if thats worth anything.

[@Fabletally]

Larksong G haha same here

[@YamiZee]

its easier to play songs meant for other instruments on the piano, but playing complex songs is impossible on other instruments and can be very hard on the piano

[@mjolnir1208]

@LunarLemonade my thoughts exactly. The other day: Friend: are you listening to techno? I thought you hated it. Me: no. I'm listening to homestuck music. Entirely different.

[@UpsidePickle]

Love the tags... XD And hopy... I don't know what hopy could possibly describe that's going to match up to your piano playing. YOU, GOOD SIR, HAVE ALL OF THE OCTAVES. ALL OF THEM.

[@DezzyDoom]

I really cannot stop listening to this, it is beautiful. Someday I will be able to do this.... Maybe..

[@Drekromancer]

Man I cannot believe WHAT TRICKS where THOSE STUNTS you just pulled

[@RaBidWeezul]

Your piano skills make me happy.

[@ArbitraryVoice]

If he plays the entire damn thing, he will basically just be the best person ever. And that's really all there is to say about that.

[@xxmusicfashionlove]

Ah, yes, fantastic; that's what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@PeppermintBiscuit]

I love your work, and this is no exception. Great job putting this together. I will say that I don't really like the white-noise interjections though. The static works in the animation, but when listening to a piano arrangement it's jarring and WAY too loud. I'd appreciate it if you posted a version sans static.

[@v01156]

Absolutely amazing.

[@YukiruS]

My God, you're are an amazing pianist! 8D Would you consider playing Rex Duodecim Angelus? I bet it'd be awesome. By the way, just because I'm curious, which model your piano is? Keep on being awesome!!

[@LinoleumItalics]

Wow, this is... absolutely amazing!

[@rosePetrichor]

The squiddle part came on as I was taking a drink of coffee. It almost ended up all over the screen

[@TheElectriccabaret]

Daaaaaaaaaaamn, mad skills RIGHT there

[@SM980]

@grymroq If he preforms Sunslammer the entire universe would collapse in on itself from the sheer epicness

[@thekatdragon4966]

The drums in this song are a pain in the ASS to remake.

[@DeoMyDarling]

The Squiddles portion made me giggle like all hell

[@zerovgames7789]

Geese, i love it

[@shnowlan]

You are an a8solute god on piano. Seriously, this was gr8 and perfect, you have a real talent. keep it up ::::)

[@zxcviilll]

I love that the squiddles bit is still in there >:)

[@absterninja]

This is the coolest thing every I've been learning your sheet music and it's so well done! Thank you!

[@AngryNerdBird]

@TVTMasterReal Kernelsprites do not require dead/doomed things. That's just what they prefer, and what they most commonly end up prototyped with.

[@TailsCosmoLove]

This is amazing that you've just done it my memory and ear. I'm very impressed, and the music is so heart-catching that when you play it it's very enjoyable to listen to. Very nice job.

[@rilebuster]

It is in the genre of awesome. Need i say more?

[@the_makers_ruin]

I love how you even did the static! Good job!

[@hhenfei]

Your the most amazing piano player I've ever seen. Even better the Asian piano players I know. ^^

[@lethraxin]

@Purplekirby54 my theory is that the sprite would look like the suburb logo, asnwould the enemies, and they would gain the abilities of the deployable things, as well as telekinesis with moving objects.

[@mangagor]

even the squiddles part sounds awesome! ahem: you won all of the internetz. all of them.

[@Kuroii39728]

I love this song. This is so good. :)

[@rayjt9]

Brilliant! I'd love to see a tutorial or midi or sheets for this or something. :O

[@DevilDuckyProduckion]

YOU BEAUTIFUL CREATURE

[@kala_asi]

THANKS I FINALLY HEARD MUTINY IN DESCEND

[@tashamfeges]

I am going to slow this down. And you are going to "teach" me how to play this. You inspired me to start playing piano again. kdhkjdshkjgs

[@Chimerasrose]

uMMMM, tHIS IS, rEALLY, rEALLY GOOD,, i aPPLAUD YOU,

[@Wiltothemax]

Clearly the only person who could have disliked this video is the pianist. Don't be so hard on yourself man.

[@TropicalRogue]

Absolutely lovely. If only the repeated 4 beat pattern in the melody (which lines up with the face slaps as prospit is falling) were accented stocatto, it would be perfect.

[@archdeaconstructor8633]

The Omnigenre, as is typical of Homestuck. As I'm sure many people have said, you can find it on Homestuck Bandcamp, google it (or bing it).

[@nerfmedicsplz]

@Sargentleman I'm pretty sure what Goatmon is saying was basically a quote from Andrew Hussie's old formspring.

[@Jh5kRadio]

I did read the whole thing. Although I could have skipped to Act 5 if I knew that was where all the good parts were. Which I didn't know, so yay?

This is so great ;3;

I just wish for a bit more note accuracy. Amazing playing.

So.. You know when you hear a song and your finger tips go numb? ...Well shit.. I cant even move now.

I need to learn these songs.

You are a beautiful human being.

[@contradistincte]

awesome!

[@marietower852]

@ThePathular *cough*... Please don't generalize like that. I'm a brony and a homestucker (as are many of my friends), and I most definitely do not consider any of us untalented. But anyways, I'm not trying to be rude. :) I'm currently thinking about arranging this and Cascade for wind ensemble, at some point, so I'm going to stare at the video for hours to learn the notes! Yay...

[@lilysaintclaire4716]

As people have said, you can't really fold homestuck into a genre, but I'd recommend Audiomachine and the Chronicles of Narnia soundtracks. If you're looking for piano tunes, though, there's only one way and that is the homestuck way.

[@AxleManiac412]

Need to fave this one. :D

[@siegiopiano]

Imma try and learn this ^^

[@shadowdog25]

Amazing

[@FutureKarkat]

ACTUALLY, ITS REALLY ONLY THIS GUY. EVERYONE ELSE JUST RP'S AND COSPLAYS. OH, AND DO ALOT OF TUMBLER.

That static scared me half to death ; A ;

[@Ryomha11251]

Sheet music would be awesome!

[@ZeepTron]

Totally. Epic. ^^

[@alexxsullivan4246]

well this isn't fully classic piano music and from what i'm hearing a bit of jazz/skip tune so try jazz or remix classical piano. because it has such a unique sound to it i'm not sure you find many similar pieces composed like these, but good luck :D

[@juliadouglas9643]

Aradia: i l0ve this s0ng. it's beautiful.

[@StarfireandSakura]

@PianoSensei90 Well, if you look up Descend, it's about 4:40, while this video is about 4 minutes, so yeah, this person is playing it faster. I think it works. :)

[@dddmemaybe]

It's only because it's the word rogue. The way you spelled it makes you think of sonic, a color and it's just always misspelled.

[@animefangirl5556]

You have the amazing skill and grace to do flare! Please????

I am jealous of your skill. ;_;

@@terrytarquin6834 Thank you very much!

[@Sargentleman]

@nerfmedicsplz yes, but still, you have to realize that even if they prefer it, EVERY kernel took exactly 1 dead thing. If the game preferred dead things as prototypes, it preferred it VERY much so.
