[Organ] Prelude: Nier Gestalt & Replicant - Shadowlord

[@FreakyBarberStuff]

What a criminally underrated channel. This is just magical.

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

Thanks! I will take your words for it and sue KZbin since my channel is criminally underatted haha :))))

[@ar0568]

Absolutely love when it goes to 5:29 didn't know an organ could beat drop before

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

Well I personally think if you want some rock and roll the organ is in fact the best you can ask for! This instrument can beat drop base drop like there is no tomorrow!

[@denaia8173]

I remember the first time I ever heard a version of Shadowlord long before I got around to playing Replicant, I still had all those memories and heartfelt thoughts about Automata and I thought nothing could possibly make me feel the same way. This single bit of the soundtrack made me reconsider my bias and I knew I had to play the game just to hear this for myself in the right time and in clear context. Since then I've been looping every iteration of the piece I stumbled upon. Just now I found your work and it froze me in place; I realised it's not something I could simply leave in the background. I'm not exaggerating when I say I got shivers. I wish I knew more about music to analyse how you lead your listener through the vast collection of ever changing and intertwining emotions; it's all engulfed in melancholy, yet you can feel the moments of hope in the struggle, the determination and the love - all of them conflicting with no right or winning side. I feel tempted to talk about your spin on the composition but I'm gonna stop myself here so not to sound like an idiot, heh. I just want to assure you this feels like a masterpiece and thank you for turning the feeling into such striking sound. I hope more people pass by here to experience this enhanced storytelling and I wish you best of luck in your musical endeavours!

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

Dear friend apologies for my delayed response! I have been very busy during the past few days. Thank you sincerely for your very high praise. I look back at this work and there are a lot of things I wish I could have done better or change, but it sure holds a very special place in my heart because of how important the theme is to me both musically and in terms of where it was played within the game. I honestly don't really think much about where my improvisation goes when I am making it up on the fly, but I am very glad to learn how much emotion this took out of this! I reassure you that you don't sound like an idiot at all! Your words really warm my heart and encourage me to resume my music creativity after a two year hiatus. Stay tuned for more :D

This is a one of a kind version of Shadowlord. This is very enjoyable to listen too. Thank you.

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

And thank you for your kind comment!

[@faruktokuslu5477]

Shadowlord is one of the best villains I’ve ever seen and his theme is one of best I’ve heard. And your cover such a unique and beautiful cover. Thank you.

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

You are more than welcome! Your comment is more beautiful :)))

And wherefore should we celebrate the evil we inflict upon others? What is the quality of violence that brings us happiness? Why do we measure our success by the ruin in our wake? Because it's fun, that's why. :)

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

Can indeed be fun in Nier :))

[@AntoniusTertius]

Wonderfully improvised! You even used chimes there, nice touch! It has received much more likes than my arrangement. Rejoice :) I have the honour now to like this video for the 418th time!

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

It's the only piece of mine that receive lots of likes. I think my weirdness sometimes pay off. And the other times just flops and dies lol! Yours have more reach! Here is to a brighter future for both Shadowlords

[@AntoniusTertius]

@@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime Your so called 'weirdness' is what makes you stand out. Mine may have more views but it has less likes and more dislikes. Anyway, Let us hope both videos reach 1.000.000 views someday, and that through our works we can spread the musical wonders of organ music.

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

I think my weirdness either makes it or backfires. A ton of what I do go under the radar. But that's not why I am creating these for anyway so it's all good! Art will find a way to grow :))

[@PaulTheOrganist]

Very, very wonderful! As a bit of an organ player myself, I'm transfixed, thank you!

Thank you pal! Glad you enjoyed this work :) What organ do you have/play on, if I may ask!

I know you probably don’t take requests, but if you’re ever interested, I would love to hear you play 0sk from Attack on Titan, in this same style. It’s amazing how the way you play truly replicates the feeling of sitting in a church while listening to this.

[@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime]

I do take requests! Thank you for your kind comment friend :)) I just need time to get to them unfortunately, which may take a little while since school and work are both pretty occupying! And the church feeling probably comes from me actually playing and recording it in a church haha :D

[@TheRevenant4585]

@@MusicaeOrganumexLudumetAnime I didn’t know you recorded in an actual church. That’s pretty epic bro. Also yeah, I’m sure doing both school and work can be pretty time consuming. Good luck on your classes tho! I’ll look forward to hearing more of your music whenever you get the time. ;)
