Out-fucking-standing! I really dig how you altered the rythm of Memories of Lightwaves, and the Bach-like quality of Dancing Mad. It makes me want to dust off my old keyboard and see if I still have my chops. Very well done!

Halo, you are a big pianist.

Holkeye · March 22, 2012, 02:20:08 PM

I still love the odd times in Dancing Mad. God, FFVI has the best music.

IAMFORTE · March 22, 2012, 08:16:07 PM

Well done

I wish I could play as well as you XD I especially like the Fire Emblem one, you've Captured the original nature of the song so very nicely.

Irock · March 22, 2012, 10:09:19 PM

That was really good, and I really didn't notice anything wrong. You're a fantastic pianist.

Jules · March 22, 2012, 10:59:21 PM

Loved it. Downloaded, will be listening all the time! Thank you sooo much! I really liked them all. I don't think I can pick a favorite >_< Can they all be my favorite?

haloOfTheSun · March 22, 2012, 11:41:21 PM

Of course they can all be your favorite!

EvilM00s · March 23, 2012, 03:28:11 AM

Dude, sheet music would be awesome.

This stuff was really enjoyable. Please share more when you are inspired to do so!

I'm going to make alternative album art for this whether you like it or not.

Irock · March 23, 2012, 04:02:32 AM

How did I know your post was going to be about the album artwork before I even came in the thread to read it.

Holkeye · March 23, 2012, 04:04:29 AM

Because some people do judge books by their covers.

No! Favourite is a relational term, and if they are all liked equally then none of them are favoured. Therefore, they cannot all be your favourites unless you extend the context to include songs outside of those posted in this topic, in which case you need to be more specific since it is hardly a compliment to say that you favour Halo's music over the soothing tones of Cannibal Corpse.

I take this very seriously because my mother was a dictionary. I once poked a man in the solar plexus for saying "I could care less" to express indifference. He beat me up pretty badly after, but I would do it again.

The songs are great Halo.

EvilM00s · March 23, 2012, 04:15:36 AM

Sheet music.

I do plan on doing at least another of these. I recorded 5 other songs that I didn't include with this one because of that. Also because I already have an hour's worth of music here.

Sure ;o I didn't ask Irock to make that one, he just did it. But I like it all the same. I'm sure yours would be good too!

Interesting choices. Undersea Palace and Battle 1 are two of my least favorites that I did lol. But thanks all the same~

This and ~~the word~~ 'irregardless' are in the top 10 of my 'Annoying things normal people do that don't make sense' list.

Also, I loved this, Halo. I would love the sheet music for the Halo theme :3

Did you even read the first post.

I'm not happy with that track so I'm redoing it. I feel like I dropped the ball on that one. Also Strike said it sucked. (okay he used a different phrasing)

strike · March 23, 2012, 06:57:25 AM

I said you didn't really do it justice, it got better near the middle but it feels really empty.

I get the feeling the beginning at least until it picks up needs some reverb.

Oh really? Well I could care less what you think.

HAHA

TRY KICKING MY SHINS FROM WAY OVER THERE MISTER

And I suppose if I had to choose I could, but since I don't... xD

Holkeye · March 23, 2012, 02:37:55 PM

That's ok, the Halo theme song is terrible anyway. There's not much anyone can do with it. It sounds like a mix between a high-school metal band and an irish jig.

strike · March 23, 2012, 03:52:10 PM

man sure are a lot of frost trolls up by the college.

lol. I actually like it though, I guess it's sort of a guilty pleasure. It doesn't seem to translate very well to piano, however, or at least it would take someone better at playing and arranging than I to make it work. I'm still going to do another version though.~

Holkeye · March 23, 2012, 07:11:54 PM

The one song from Halo is really good, but it would be nearly impossible to do a piano version, because it benefits from the sustained strings.
