Do you have a midi file of this? Would you be willing to share?

[@ravenmusic1316]

Not at the moment as I need to neaten up the score before making both the MIDI and the PDF available for purchase. I tend to create these arrangements iteratively one section at a time; first focusing on the chords and melody, then adding complexity in the harmonies, then I do a pass through to ensure each hand is playable (no intervals over an octave (a ninth at a stretch), no huge jumps in a small space of time, etc.), sometimes swapping parts between hands, and then I check that it sounds good. Finally I load the MIDI into Synthesia and do a final check, swapping notes between hands manually in Synthesia if there's any that I missed. I then record and add the audio in post. As a result my scores and MIDIs are often quite messy and don't completely match what's in my videos at the time of release. Neatening them up can be quite time consuming and dull, which is why most of my recent videos lack downloadable sheet music because exams. Another issue is that making a score more readable sometimes requires screwing up the MIDI, which complicates things. In an ideal world though I'd have sheet music and MIDIs available for all my songs because I personally follow sheet music better than a Synthesia tutorial. Basically I'll probably try and release them in a few weeks once my exams are over and I have more time to dedicate to KZbin. :)

Awesome. How can I get the sheet music? Please.

[@ravenmusic1316]

No sheet music is available at the moment but I will be working on it in the next few weeks. I wrote an excessively long reply explaining why on J. M. Faupel's comment

[@donaldmickey8365]

Thanks. Can hardly wait. Hope it comes quickly.... hint hint nudge nudge.

It must have been inside my head I've lost the hope that I have lived And now, at last, it comes to pass We sleep, we dream, we have no less Along the path we lost our way It's all a game that I must play And now the weak that fall return to ash, defeated after all Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you Let go, we know this kind of life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light, forever lost inside With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you Let go, we know this kind of life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light, forever lost inside With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world
