Album Art by Irock

Some of these are fairly simple arrangements, others are more complex and expansive. Some were experiments to see if I could actually make something out of the source material. In any case, I hope you all enjoy them! If people like these enough, I may do more someday.

You can download the entire album here.

You can download the sheet music in PDF format here.

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.

Can they all be my favorite?

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.

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.

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

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!

I take this very seriously because my mother was a dictionary.

The songs are great Halo.

Me too! And thanks :)

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

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)

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.

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.

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.~

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.
