Unite Synchronization, composed by Malcolm Brown, arranged by me. dothemusicything.tumblr.com/po...
The original was used in [S] Dirk: Synchronize and [S] Dirk: Unite, and is on Homestuck Vol. 8: homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/h... The piece belongs to Malcolm Brown; Homestuck belongs to Andrew Hussie. I am merely a fan.

Seriously, I'm getting lightheaded, just taking deep, shaky breath after deep, shaky breath with an idiotic grin plastered on my face. I've never had this reaction to music before. Just astounding.

[@dothemusicything8541]

That's a credit to Malcolm Brown for composing the piece - I'm just the arranger/pianist.

[@woodfur00]

Do The Musicy Thing Yes, I'm quite familiar with the original song. One of the very best Homestuck pieces in my opinion. I can't even account for the intensity of my reaction here, but clearly you've more than done it justice.

[@dothemusicything8541]

Well, thank you.

[@desia.brimou]

Same here. To be honest, the original didn't really affect me that much, but there's something about piano covers that makes me so emotional.

[@Fabletally]

I flipped on these flashes, I remember. because I only just watched them yesterday. **Cries on the floor**

[@dothemusicything8541]

Did you just read/reread? Or just going through old flashes?

[@Fabletally]

Do The Musicy Thing this is the first time i've read homestuck haha. I dont want it to end ahhhh, at least there's homestuck 2.0 to look forward to :P

[@foreveramarshmallow8921]

[@dothemusicything8541]

Only the most rigorous of musical sciences go into these arrangements. They're all researched and tested at a secret facility in the Veil, then stored on a server in the Furthest Ring until they're ready to be released to the world.

[@eppigraceless4240]

Unreal how I always end up back here. This cover has been on my ipod for six years now, I used to listen to it while doing my homework, now I use it as background music for art commissions! I hope you're doing good, mate.

[@chromaphasia453]

Unite synchronization is one of my favorite hs songs, and I'm so glad you cover/arranged it!!

[@dothemusicything8541]

Thanks! Malcolm Brown composed a very good piece.

[@Gabrielle-wz2oq]

These are simply leaving me speechless. The original songs are made even more beautiful and enhanced by these compositions. Simply wonderful.

[@omeg5473]

1:44 that bassline is one of my favorite parts of the song and you *NAILED* it

[@woodfur00]

I can't breathe.

[@veerlehond]

Wow this sounds so good! It is so close to the original at 2:15 I had the biggest smile on my face, you are amazing!

[@dothemusicything8541]

Veertje-Feather Thanks! I particularly like that part of the original, so I'm glad it came through.

[@Serindipitous]

Veertje-Feather Really? My smile started at 0:58. Because that's my favorite part of the song, and it's great, and he did it perfectly. Also, meow.

[@morrisoncarey-sumner8301]

BRO O MY GOD YOU ARE AMAZING HOLY CRAP ITS AMAZING

[@godlessgallivant7274]

ITS LITERALLY JUST LIKE THE ACTUAL SONG OMG AMAZING JOB

[@pere-kinka]

Mother of piano *_*

[@rainy_windchime]

tbh the hardest part for me is the right hand at around measure 49 :'3 its so fast!

[@dothemusicything8541]

+Yao Wang You're going to have fun at measure 76...

[@rainy_windchime]

Oh joy

[@hannahrogers6079]

It's so mind boggling to listen to you play this song, watching it is so much more amazing.

[@waterbottle5976]

i literally cannot move my left hand like that. i have the technical knowledge i just can’t move my hand like that

[@Blitz-tk4jh]

yeah

[@katelynngray3190]

This makes me cry everytime i listen to it. Dirk's Death anyone?

[@alexleonardi7544]

+Katelynn Gray In doing so, he caused himself to awaken centuries before he would even be born. The sad death would be his doomed self's suicide.

[@alex-tl7yb]

He kills himself in act 6 act 6 intermission 4

[@pluspiping]

This is always what I need. Thank you very much for the video and the sheets!

[@dothemusicything8541]

pluspiping You're welcome - Thanks for listening!

[@piercingthehorizon]

This was amazing!I was half expecting Clockwork Melody to start playing towards the end though hahaBut oh my goodness this was amazing

[@dantestrider3578]

That was epicly awesome.

[@Chewaai]

[@wayverleesoulsong]

[@candelamarin4708]

Como cuando lees un comentario en español jajajaj Hola! Ahre que decía. Si es re sarpado como toca ese MuThErFuCkEr ahre

[@DirtiestDMusic]

Very impressive.

[@Lyc4nthr0pe13]

you are such a great pianist. you are wonderful at what you do keep it up. 😉

[@easypeasypiano6118]

I agree. Actually thinking of starting my own piano channel, for my own compositions. You're kind of the inspiration...

[@easypeasypiano6118]

And it's nice to see someone on KZbin that both likes Homestuck and is a master at the piano.

[@dothemusicything8541]

Thanks, and yes, I will keep it up!

[@dothemusicything8541]

+EasyPeasyPiano That's a good idea; I have a channel for compositions as well (although most recent recordings of my pieces have wound up either on performers' channels or Soundcloud).

[@maxmansfield2170]

Wow this is so good!!!I actually copy your hands and do the songs!!its like a tutorial I have just learnt the Moonsetter because of you!!!Great job!!!!:D

[@dothemusicything8541]

+Max Mansfield Wow, that seems like a very difficult way to learn, but if it works for you, good job. Make sure you copy the feet as well on Moonsetter. Thanks!

[@maxmansfield2170]

+Do The Musicy Thing Heheheh it is a bit hard but im quite hopeless with sheet music, im trying to learn Carne Vale from your vids

[@dothemusicything8541]

+Max Mansfield Best of luck - that one involves rather a lot of moving quickly.

[@jessmclean8352]

+Do The Musicy Thing everybody learns in a different way. I actually can't read music sheets and learn everything I know from watching other's play.

[@mxrbidly3233]

i always seem to find my way back here haha

[@eukrazia]

This is amazing! I was wondering if you could possibly make a tutorial video if you learnt this piece by ear? Or maybbbeeeee send me the piano sheet music? I've been dying to learn this forever. Keep up the awesome piano playing! You've earned a sub from me!

[@dothemusicything8541]

Thank you! And thanks for subscribing! It's very fun to play (a bit tricky, but fun once you have it). I'll send you the sheet music.

[@eukrazia]

Thank you so much! And no problem! Youre an amazing pianist. Im happy to sub C;

[@endgameExecutor]

Do The Musicy Thing On that note, it would be great if I could have a copy of the sheet music too.

[@dothemusicything8541]

John Atkins Atkins Sure! I should probably just post a link. Here 'tis: docs.google.com/file/d/0ByNsIo5ogzHmVUMyZEZMVThuV0k/

[@BlackKeyedPiano]

How long did it take you to get the hang of this? Also do you have any suggestions for avoiding hand cramps while playing?

[@dothemusicything8541]

+imleadinginmyhead This one...actually this is the hardest to answer this. I made the arrangement and sort of learned it one summer, then didn't deal with it for a while, then came back the next summer and made this video. So it was spread out over a year, but it wasn't a year of continuously working on it. Probably a few weeks of practice though. That's the case for most of these.

[@DarkGamer641]

Can you please do a tutorial of Showtime (Piano Refrain) or this?I will send you any Bandcamp volume of homestuck for this.

[@dothemusicything8541]

+Hero_of_Legend Like a video me going slowly through explaining how to play it? I guess I could do that...I do want to expand somewhat what I do with DtMT, so that could be an interesting addition. We'll see.

[@DarkGamer641]

+Do The Musicy Thing :D My recital is in 3 weeks and I'm going to need to convince all my teachers and friends that Homestuck has more characters than John Egbert.I would've paid you a boonbuck if not for Dave.STRIIDER!!!!!!!!!!!

You should do Rex Duodecim Angelus :b

[@dothemusicything8541]

alexa linares I should. It's on the list of pieces I want to arrange. It won't happen very soon, because that's a substantial piece, and I'm working on another substantial arrangement now. But I'll probably do it eventually.

[@nopecopter9353]

Do The Musicy Thing You'll probably need a piano for every troll if you want to do Rex Duodecim Angelus. PIANO x12 COMBO!

[@dothemusicything8541]

Heh. That would be quite demanding in the video editing stage. But I think that one's playable on solo piano.
