It’s astonishing how you can create such rhythmically challenging arrangements, yet have such beautiful voicing and tonal control

that was amazing to see your whole process of arranging! And I gotta say it's a wonderful arrangement - I can't wait to hear the full version

It is very interesting to see a bit of the arranging process of the song. Great video, i look forward to the song!

Hey akmigone, I discovered your channel years ago and instantly fell in love with your style of music. During that period of time, I followed you actively and even joined your discord, being one of the main counters in the counting channel (Shadowshade13XD). However, I gradually moved on and the piano slowly drifted away from my mind until I discovered this video. As you guided us through your thought process, I once again rediscovered my passion for the love of Piano. Each piano note was so magically weaved together into a work of art, and this was one of the best pieces I ever heard. Previously, I stopped playing the piano as I felt that I was stuck with no way to improve, and I kid you not I was wondering how to be able to play the piano like you when your Patreon advertisement popped up, fulfilling my wish. You have no idea how helpful this is to me and I definitely would be subscribing to it. Thanks you, for sparking the joy of music in me once again.

Thank you sooo much! You are my inspiration. For years I’ve been watching your videos and I’m filled with confidence and calmness. A month ago I finally brought my first digital piano because of YOU - your videos reminded me of what I loved so much, reminded me about my intent to practice music and do my best. I can’t find opportunity to brought my instrument for damn 4 years after moving on, but it wasn’t about that. It was about fear to discover that I've lost the skill and can't play anymore. But your music has given me strength and faith that even if it turns out to be true, I can become better. Thank you, Akmigone

This is a great video Idea that I actually wanted to see for a while. Glad someone finally did it and I look forward for more :)

That concept is way too good omg, please keep doing it !

I'm listening to you from an isolated beach in Ecuador... Thank you for existing!

I love how much joy is in his voice when he tells about his music

I love that as you were listing the movies in the intro, you could hear the themes playing, seemlessly blending between the songs. It's such a small detail but it really showed how much effort you put into this!

Phenomenal. Love how much you love your passion. And this song no less 😭

Without fail your every video inspires me to go back to my most beloved pieces and experiment on them using what I've learned over the last month and, of course, what I've learned from you.

My playlist is ready, bring it on!

OMG! It's beautiful to see a guy as passionate and talented as you! Seriously not a second of the video passed where I didn't think: You really are a genius maaaaan 😭I really really loved it!, and I hope to hear the full version and many other arrangements from you soon❤

Excited to hear the arrangement. I’m sure it will be amazing…

UNBELIEVEABLE !!! Who needs Hans Zimmer ?! :D :D (Y) (Y) (Y)

I'm 1 minute in and I already subscribed, I adore your enthusiasm

Si tan solo estuviera en español :( akmigone eres mi Dios

I always love every minute of your videos, Johannes. 🖤 Thank you for being a constant inspiration and for sharing your knowledge with us. I can’t wait to hear the final product! 😊😱👏🏻

It was amazing! I loved that song since the moment I listened in the serie, thanks for sharing your process, it helps and inspires a lot! 🎉❤️

you are so cool, and down to earth (also CRAZY GOOD). thanks for being you

These kind of videos you do to help other pianists shows your great character you got. Instead of keeping your skills and maybe secrets for yourself, you´re sharing your knowledge with others. Thank you very much!!! I am sure in future your teaching videos are going to help me a lot, when I come to the point of doing my own arrangements.🙂

Absolutely fantastic! Great work

I'm probably burnt-out. While having a lack of musical spare time, but this got me electrified on getting back to a cool hoby I use to have pre covid going back to transcribing music! But this was a really nice and refreshing video that suprised me. Like I've always liked to decompose the structure of an arrangements and try to just quickly learn cool part and give it my twist. But this was never me doing the cool things. But now having a video with you narrating your thoughts out while playing was really nice and I'm looking forward to the next one. Also I think Test Drive is over rated with HTTYD ost. Romantic Fly is a nice one but I also have a high esteem for This is Berk. Since I discovered the How To Train your Dragon I use to have the music of the two first movies back 2014. John Powell has a nice more classical John Williams kinda vibe in his music. But I like it more cause of the variety of dialogues instrument have when they take place for a passage. Anyways I'm blabbering but it's cool to see you back with this new format! 🎉🌟

You are fantastically AWESOME !!!

Thanks you man exactly what i needed

U deserve more subs bro you are amazing

Wow just wow, you re perfect!

I like your passion

Perfect ! As usual..

Epic

Wow that is so awesome

This is talent! Amazing how many layers you are able to play with just 10 fingers. It made me wonder what arrangements you would be able to do with a looper? Peter Bence has some great loop songs if your'e looking for inspiration.

amazing

Let's go!

you're beast :)

Absolutely amazing. As someone who is trying out arranging myself, it is very helpful to see your whole process of arranging, and I hope to see more videos like this in the future. Also at 17:23, is that rain kiss or butterflies? I'm leaning towards rain kiss, but I'm not actually sure.

I absolutely love your arrangements. Challenge: After How to Train Your Dragon, how do you feel about rearranging an Avicii song? As a fellow Swede, I’ve been quietly waiting for “Akmicii” since I subbed! All the best från Stockholm

Plzzzz a request Plzzz make a tutorial on arrangement/improvisation For beginners Plzzzzzz🤩

by the way, what do you think of one day playing "odd future" by my hero academy

Great video as always! What Piano is that I like those thick keys makes me h*rny 😋
