=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
This main/title theme is my favorite out of the entire Xenoblade series. There's something about the solemn piano writing that reminds me of Studio Ghibli/Joe Hisaishi's work. The challenge in this piece is mostly with interpretation/musicality. Careful attention must be made for the phrasing, voicing and use of rubato. I choose to play this a bit more flowing, with more subtle use of rubato than in the original performance. Let me know if those subtleties make a noticeable difference.
I also extended the theme to highlight some of my favorite musical moments in the game as the main theme is thematically transformed and manipulated all throughout the games soundtrack. I hope you can enjoy these hauntingly beautiful theme.
Your Pianist,
Erik C.

You’re the first to point out that moment. That bit right at the end of the post-credit scene is largely what inspired this medley.

For all the cheesiness and the tropes the game has, there are moments when this game makes you feel something. This theme brings all that to a head and reminds you that despite it all, the characters are very hard to forget, for better or worse. "Don't forget me!"

I work night shift and am off tonight, so I'm one of the few people awake with the wind and rain right now, so I'm enjoying a hot bath and beer and this soothing ass music.

I learned the Title Screen piece when the game came out, but not being able to read music didn't remember it properly until I sat down and relearned it today, but I'll be adding your medley on top of it because it ramps the emotional impact up to 11, I'm seriously happy you made this version even years after its release. One thing I never found was a synthesia type tutorial for the Torna Title Screen though....

Today I started playing piano for the *first* time, during a lunch break at my school. My friend was practising a complicated song at one end of the piano, while I was trying to learn this on the other. After 30 minutes, I got roughly 6 seconds into the song. I've been told that's quite impressive for someone who had never played anything on piano before, so I'm going to take as a good sign. I'm currently looking into getting a keyboard to play at home, so I can continue to learn :D Thank you for making this! I'm going to keep coming back until I can play it blind!

I love this cover! I was wondering how you record with such high quality audio and what equipment/programs you use. Every time I try to record direct in with my keyboard and scarlet 2i2, the volume is way too low during playback. Do you use MIDI and vsts? I would love to hear your advice! Thank you!
@ErikCPianoman 3 жыл бұрын
Are you using the aux out on your keyboard to record or the headphone jack. Make sure it’s the former. Also you may have to adjust the “gain” for each channel of audio going into the 2i2 using the knobs on the device. Lastly (I use audacity but many programs can do this) normalize or amplify the recording if need be. But this should be a minor adjustment or not needed if you have you’re set up correctly. Note: you’ll encounter a lot of white noise in the background if you amplify too much. So adjust your gains accordingly.

@ErikCPianoman 3 жыл бұрын
Haven’t made sheets for this one yet, but completed sheets will always be linked in the description of any video on the channel. I offer the unedited midi (pretty much exactly what you see here) on my Patreon. But take those midis with a grain of salt because they’re full of all the mistakes and inconsistencies found in a live performance. You have to be aware of that when trying to learn from them.
