Inception - Piano Suite

[@markfowlermusic]

I just love music and playing piano, the more you play the better you get in theory, its the same with anything, some people get good very quickly, others take longer, some people can never do things, the mind is very complex thing, I know mine is anyway :)

[@MrColdplayer23]

After 10 years i still come to hear this Performance . Great

[@kamilkroczewski3549]

Same

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

HOW DID THE INCEPTION SOUNDTRACK NOT WIN THE OSCAR I AM STILL MAD ABOUT THIS TO THIS DAY

[@JanPlaysPiano]

Yo...same thing with Interstellar.

[@inigoso96]

Mee too bro, the oscars sucks

[@markfowlermusic]

Diamond Gaming it's because his music is more simplistic and less complex probably than other composers, he seems to lose out to Alexandre desplat often.

[@DiagnosedPeon]

Mark Fowler I think a soundtrack should be judged on how it made you feel and I have never felt more in a movie because of its soundtrack than in Inception and Interstellar

[@theviolinoob]

Good point, well Alexandre desplat is a genius too. love his music

[@JackyL1314]

This guy is a miracle... You can even see the holy light coming from his butt...

[@monkeyorful]

JackyL1314 is the first time u can say holy shit literally

[@seven0929]

monkeyo Archon lol that was genius :D

[@GamingBoiler]

JackyL1314 hahahahah I actually loled at this

[@kanyeeast3203]

JackyL1314 ahaahahahh your best

[@ingamingpc1634]

+JackyL1314 stop loling to much over here

[@jasminemaliamounts6599]

This song really got to me, I am a 7 year piano student.. And my love for piano was starting to fade. This piece renewed my love for piano, and I'm truly grateful you put this up. :) Play on Mark!

[@markfowlermusic]

the strings are simply dual voiced with the piano, its just a case of pressing a button on the piano and the strings play automatically in the background when you play the piano keys....I have no control over the strings, they are played with every key, so right and left hand notes all have strings playing.

[@Gehrom]

I just found a Mark Fowler playlist I`ve spent half the day listening to his videos while reading a good book. Best afternoon yet.

[@ceciliajohannaa]

so powerful with the violins there...

[@MrAndreKey]

0:05 Dream is Collapsing 2:30 Time These are the exacty titles of the collection.

[@Wirtzak]

I'm 17 and I started to play piano when I was 15. My music teacher helped me with the basic chords(easy to learn) which helped me to figure out combinations.I didn't learn to play the notes. I practised by mysel and learned to play it by ear. It takes time and requires a lot of practise. The thing that made me be patient was that I found it amusing and relaxing, and each time I learned something new I felt like "wow, is this me?" and it gave me positive energy to go on with piano playing.

[@acemiller101]

So I've listened countless times to both this piece, and Hans Zimmer in concert: I noticed that despite the similarity in "Time Is Collapsing," there is a faint difference in the way you play, and speaking on my behalf, THAT is your magic. You have a way of bringing the music to life, captivating the heart and the mind, and concluding with a unique that's difficult to put in words. It's far beyond striking the right keys, and this is why is l love your music.

[@sweou]

Exactly! Couldn't agree more.

[@robertkomanec2028]

Someone once asked who is composing classical music today. He was told composers of film scores. Hans Zimmer is indeed carrying out the tradition and you, Mark Fowler, are providing deep interpretations. You are a Master! 🫡

[@archiewardron9033]

Hans Zimmer is a genius. Mark Fowler is extremely talented. Why not both?

[@asp1346]

point well made

[@markfowlermusic]

I think Time is enhanced ten fold by me including the strings, that's my own personal opinion.

[@jusolepiano]

This is the most epic piano cover i've seen so far.

[@ianwhite8344]

Inception is one of my all time favorite movies! And this is extremely impressive, I've played piano for over 9 years and I'm not sure that I'd even be able to play this

[@mrskikicarter]

Listening to you play brings me peace please don't ever stop 2014 could use an artist like you :)

[@markfowlermusic]

Time I think is excellent for a beginner, but just the basic 4 chords, you can learn timing and basic chord changes, but will have a nice effect as you love the piece already, not all of time is easy though, particularly the part with the repeated notes in right hand - guitar riff parts for example, but you dont have to play that.

[@Julieta1078]

I think I have never watched a video as much as this one (and I've watched it almost every day the past weeks) because it touches me so much! Great job, Mark!!

[@timster5]

Time. still gives me the chills 4 years down the line such a meaningful composition, probably my Favourite film piece to date.

[@jmmacb03]

Can't believe what I am hearing from a keyboard. I have been listening to the KZbin orchestral version with Zimmer himself... I have been obsessed with Hans Zimmer since "Gladiator" with Lisa Gerrard. Hearing this I would love to hear to try to do a "Suite" like you did with LOTR. Inspiring, truly. Toronto gal ♥

[@spinos4ru553]

this is a piano

[@robertkomanec2028]

Absolutely beautiful. And hypnotic. A wonderful find at 8:15 Saturday morning. Thank you, Sir!

[@davisjohn-d6h]

He's so good, there's holy light coming out of his butt!

[@asbolusarts]

wtf xD

[@MrtinVarela]

**tactical lens-flare*

[@percebenordico]

I'm in love with you since 2010 when I discovered this video, I was 13 years old and now I'm 22. I love you Mark

[@agentmv]

Can someone get this man a major record deal already?? Seriously, Mark has more talent by just blinking his eyes than bloody Justin Beiber.

[@markfowlermusic]

big difference between popularity and how good someone is at something...you dont have to be good at something nowadays to become far more popular than other more creative persons, and not talking about myself there, but today its all about x factor and BGT, and they are popular shows which generate loads of cash, but they dont care who wins or makes it far in the 'competitions' as long as people watch the show and vote.

[@properviolence]

Mark Fowler Finally, somebody that gets it. Right face, right time. Most pop stars are not the most talented. They just have a very marketable look or appeal to a certain demographic.

[@wrongkey]

Mark Fowler Sadly...

[@allexfenty]

You can truly appreciate the sense of mystery and darkness from the piece from fowler's piano version. Only now listening to you playing it that I can really grasp the darkness of this piece.

[@hi8396]

HOLY FOKNUGGETS WHY DAFUQ WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS? THIS VIDEO EVEN HAS A HOLY LIGHT COMING FROM HIS BUTT!

[@davisjohn-d6h]

lmfao

[@luvne2002]

coz i have a holy wand in front....

[@iamdipankarj]

This is best cover of the "Time" track I've ever heard. No one before has covered this track before with this much perfection.

[@belle7700]

You're so good the sun shines out your.... piano stool :)

[@angelicbaby92]

I agree with you here. Hans Zimmer is easily becoming one of my FAVORITE musicians of all time. His work, even on anime such as blood+, is just spectacular. He embodies the contemporary, classical, and then disharmonic chords in music that both bach and beethoven had and mastered.

[@mariacristinagonzalez9616]

Absolutely amazing.

[@AlbertPenrose]

I like to sit sometimes with coffe, and listen and watch you. It relaxed me a lot, it takes me a far far away from my problems. Thanks for your passion :*

[@Crashingfoot8]

Time always makes me really sad

[@harvirdhindsa3244]

+Crashing Foot Why?

[@mariakatrina1509]

When you watch Hanz Zimmer perform it, its even more emotional.

[@anasalwash]

This is the best version of this piece ever played, I heard every possible one and nothing is even close.

[@Paranoid1996]

What was your intention for that lens flare ^^??

[@markfowlermusic]

it covers up the rip in my jeans lol

[@nathanielberger1595]

Mark Fowler lol. Your awesome and earnt a subscriber! I'm just going to check if you have Legend of Zelda... If you don't, I would consider it... Its awesome!

[@noymorgenshtein9191]

Mark Fowler LOL perfect answer 10/10

[@SolidMublo]

Mark Fowler 69 Likes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@aliciasmannequin]

i keep watching this over and over again. i cant get over how amazing it is

[@IAmCaffeinated]

Someday I want to play like this

[@mezuah4]

Best get started then :)

[@GamingBoiler]

Papirius 8 months have passed, are you playing like this yet ?

[@IAmCaffeinated]

ZxcAb I'm getting there haha!

[@sage9938]

+Papirius are you still doing good?

[@IAmCaffeinated]

ZEBRUH Aw hyeah Unfortunetely not :( I've been really busy. I need to practice more!!

[@legitrpg7777]

Most songs for pianists like yourself, its easy to remember after playing them numerous times. But even if a music is forgotten, I usually tend to remember after looking and listening to the music just once.

[@rohanraut6803]

Dude An Interstellar Cover Would Be appreciated..... U r awasome

[@sage9938]

with every song you play I always can hear the story. this one touched my heart the most.

[@Shlungoidwungus]

Does anyone know a way to contact Mark? I have a song that I know he would masterfully play but I also know that he isn't going to see my insignificant comment.

[@markfowlermusic]

I reply on here if google plus lets me....which is not often, otherwise I would reply to most questions

[@Shlungoidwungus]

Mark Fowler Yeah sorry if I offended you in any way, I was just taking into consideration just how many views and comments each video gets.

[@Shlungoidwungus]

***** This is a beautiful language. I must learn it.

[@FATE522]

Racoon in the closet Why didn't you share your request?

[@ahverypro]

***** I hope you weren't being serious though.

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

So moving, so wonderful. Thank you Mark.

[@pieguy159]

39 guys are "limbo".

[@anasalwash]

Not much to say , but I can feel your soul concentrating on the tip of your fingers that played on my ribs .... bless you brother.I'm impressed

[@NYCLIVEWIRE]

let me help you guys out 2:30

[@Evetk14]

thx

[@giagem404]

Huh? Oh...

[@Kalio]

I'm watching this over and over again because it's brilliant

[@katemartin1308]

Mark do you think anyone could be this good with practice or its all down to raw talent ? I've been playing for 11 years and can barely manage chopsticks hahahahah

[@markfowlermusic]

+Kate Martin some of it is talent of course, with some people its all talent, I dont wish to say whether that is me or not at the risk of coming across the wrong way, but there is a lot of practice involved regardless, practice I would say is the most important part of achieving goals musically.

[@germancarrasco3856]

+Francisco G I think talent is involved to reach the top. So, can I be the best pianist with endless practice? I think that if you aren't talented it's imposible, even with the hardest practice. But, can I be a really good pianist practicing hard? Of course, regardless of your talent.

[@katemartin1308]

+rebubel I was joking :)

[@Greetling]

then you did something really wrong...after 11 years. ELEVEN!!!!

[@markfowlermusic]

+Cave 11 years is nothing! Depends on the person.

[@JaZoN_XD]

Wow, you are an amazing human being, thanks so much for sharing your passion with us, we are forever in debt to your talent. I can really see your hand trembling by "Time" starts. SO BEAUTIFUL

[@jonruffolo]

Just wondering, are you working on Interstellar? I think I speak for most when I say we are extremely excited to hear your cover!

[@guidetoanything]

mgs108tlou it's here, and it's awesome, snake

[@tomstringer1458]

Favourite film... and this piece does it justice. Even more...

[@mrcrud5]

I love this! on a side note: I wish my ass was that bright as well.

[@wagnerpolveiro7176]

Wonderful, Mark. Absolutely great performance. Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful talent.

[@kanyeeast3203]

Mark you probably wont see this but if you will IMO i think you should or at least try to contact maybe for example Universal Studios or a big movie company and i mean of course if you want. I think your gonna have a good future of musical!

[@markfowlermusic]

Hi, I read all comments I get and try to answer all if I can, I appreciate the comments and what you say, it's not as easy as that though trust me, I don't do bad anyway and am progressing well I feel, but things don't happen over night unless you're very lucky, it's about working hard to get somewhere, I want to work hard now that's how I feel,if something great happens along the way then that's even better.

[@kanyeeast3203]

Mark Fowler ;)

[@markfowlermusic]

I'm high I know probably in the region of 500 plus pieces of music from memory, so it adds up to many hours that I actally know from memory, so 8 minutes is nothing haha, but it's natural to me, others it won't be, but that's how I grew up, not being able to read sheet music, I had no other choice but to learn it all by ear, in that way it cements itself into your memory.

[@asishreddy7729]

Mark Fowler Dear Mark, I love everything about the piano. The way it sounds, the way it feels when you play... everything. My dream is to learn pieces by ear and be able to play it..learning from sheet music isn't giving me much satisfaction when I play haha. What is the best method of practice to play songs by ear in your opinion? How do I get there from being a noob at playing by the ear ? I don't have much experience at playing so a piece like this would probably take me a month easy to learn from sheet music, personally. I would never give up till I get there. Please give me a few pointers if u can! Thanks so much for making these covers, I listen to them every morning, can't start my day without listening to inception in the bathroom and interstellar while driving to school :D

[@Emi8254]

There's so much dissonance in "Dream Is Collapsing," yet I find it to be so beautiful at the same time. Hans Zimmer is my favorite composer. Thank you for doing him justice!!!!

[@MominMalikYT]

Dear Mark, I have the Yamaha P115, but it doesn't have a recorder from which I can transfer recordings to my computer, or anywhere else. Someone has asked me to purchase a Focusrite audio interface and record it through that. But here I'm seeing you record with another device. What is it? And what do you recommend me in your experience? Much Regards

[@markfowlermusic]

hi, I used a portable edirol r-09 which are discontinued now I think, but even something cheap like a Zoom h1 can record your piano in 16 bit wave audio which is standard CD quality, but any audio interface works too of course but I think you need a PC to connect that with, to be honest I have no experience in that, only the handheld recorders like edirol r-09 or zoom recorders. They all do the same job essentially, so you can rest assured you can find something affordable to record the piano with, it annoys me these companies dont add in the recorder like in the higher models, it must just be a tiny chip they need to add to allow recording, wouldn't cost anything extra.

[@MominMalikYT]

Infinite thanks for the information!

[@markfowlermusic]

You're more than welcome

[@dinshree]

Mark Fowler Dear Mark, which piano model is this? which model do you suggest to buy now? Is there any additional connectors or interface with your piano for this much of quality?

[@markfowlermusic]

Dinesh Kumar T S this is an old roland model, current model you would want to look at is lx7/lx17, the latter is wildly expensive though so I wouldn't recommend it personally, these pianos have built in wave audio recorders so you don't need anything extra to record or get a decent quality of sound.

[@SuvigyaAgrawal]

That was just so awesome. Thanks for this video, I'd start playing piano again, which I left 10 years back.

[@isaacn10]

why dont u share with us your music sheets? it would do us a great help....

[@isaacn10]

i mean for this song

[@zoeforever9836]

If they are in copyright legally, your hands are tied from sharing unfortunately :(

[@deaflistener]

oh wow..that was so moving. It's clear how passionate you are. Thank you so much for sharing -I'm almost in tears x

Anyone here from just having a good taste in music

i know you hear it 1000000000 times but i say it again" you are awesome"...tnx for sharing

[@Odinia7]

and.....subscribes immediately..

[@jocciedo]

already a miracle how beautiful this song was, now on piano, it's miracleception

[@ryanhancock1234]

The softness of Time is beautiful, much better then that Kyle wanker :-).

[@keebs458]

I think that's a bit harsh. I for one prefer Kyle's version, and so do many people. It's purely subjective. They both have merit in their own ways.

[@keebs458]

For example i think Kyle's version emphasises the build up of the song. 'Time' is not a soft piece; it starts soft, but it progresses into a loud and strong melody. The original track achieves this power through an orchestra, Kyle can replicate this with only his piano. That's what i believe this interpretation lacks, the grandeur. Although i'll admit this is a VERY good cover. Much better than i could do!

[@danielbrown8556]

+Luka Orkibi I prefer this as it's somewhat truer to the original version, though that isn't to say Landry's interpretation is of no merit

[@luisaopoku-adjei8878]

That was before I heard the second half!!! Even more incredible!! gave me shivers.

[@PaulGrantDesigns]

Anyone who dislikes this lacks any appreciation for raw, passionate talent. Fantastic job, man. Most impressive and expressive.

[@lenkamikulikova9597]

This piece I really love, it is the best of all. I have to listen to it every day.

[@anindo87]

Mark its a stunning performance....your finger moves like waves in ocean....Awesome buddy !!!

[@markfowlermusic]

getting quicker at it now, but it totally depends on the difficulty of course, this is not difficult so would only takes a matter of days on and off to perfect probably.

[@markfowlermusic]

having that neurological defect can make you an even more competent/skilled pianist.

[@fibrillatorD]

Dont let any one tell you its a cliche thing - playing a movie soundtrack on the piano - its a beautiful song, one of the most gripping soundracks I'v ever heard, and I've watched a lot of movies.

[@ColonelKron]

Incredible!

[@mattortiz5957]

Inception is my favorite movie. You work well with this song, keep up the good work.

[@Gimbergp]

I never stop listening to that piano cover

[@wilmergiron5617]

Thanks to Hams Zimmer for writing this Masterpiece especially the passionate and haunting Time piece, and mark you have done a great job transcribing it and played an evolving rhythm, thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@d_wong12]

Best piano performance of Time ive seen so far

[@markfowlermusic]

no its my own arrangement by ear, no sheets unfortunately, but Time is a very simple piece anyway.

[@humanityrising-hz3cm]

amazing mark i started to cry at 3.15 you have the timing so spot on man

[@PrincessKaitlynXO]

It must be such an indescribable feeling to play such a powerful piece. You're wonderful.

[@markfowlermusic]

its just piano and strings dual voiced, its a simple press of the button on the piano :)

[@exmodel44]

Yes Mark it is most moving for me...Thank You!

[@SqualidGaming]

Time is one of the most epic songs ever! Very well played and respect to Hans Zimmer

Outstanding! You have a great gift for being able to feel the music. There are lots of piano players out there who can read music and play...but you connect with what you are playing! You can really hear it. Great job!

[@iLLFaction13]

I'm sorry but I've listened to so many covers of this and by far this is the best mark ... And I am so glad you collaborated with the sax that was absolutely beautiful .. Love the talent keep it up
