Hello everybody,

I have recently recorded and posted a zerg theme on youtube. I think nobody else has recorded this one before (on a piano).

Enjoy!

Holy shit you're good. I may at one time in the future post a vid of me playing the zerg theme on clarinet, but I couldn't possibly equal that.
If I had to say one thing to criticize, it's that you're playing the left hand too loudly, it isn't always the melody, and it's WAY to loud to be accurate.

haha well done!

but it seems I basically never noticed the melody you are playing lol. I had to go back and listen to the actual theme to hear your melody.

It was all about the blaring baseline really. All you need to do is ask a friend to hit that low note really hard every once in a while.

Pretty sweet! Thats some awesome pianoing.
Made me relisten to all the race themes.

BW Music > SC2 music.

By far.

Yeah, I can see that, but the melody is not very interesting most of times (just a whole note), so I decided to bring the left hand up. And in a piano there is not much we can do with long notes... in a guitar is a different story though (as it is in the in-game music).

Let me know if you record it on the clarinet. Maybe you can find a friend to play the bass line with a cello, and you will make the most badass instrumental duo of music history!

Thanks!
I agree with you, the SC2 music is too "ambient", specially the zerg and protoss tunes. They feature very little melodies or developed themes.

Great job, but I don't think it translates well to piano. The terran music (in both SC1 and SC2) probably works the best.

Fixed for you.

Well done, now only if the terran/protoss music was piano-able.

Zerg BW music is awesome, but I like SC2 Zerg theme too. Terrans have cool music too, only Protoss one suck in both games

When the game came out I was like 10 years old and the Zerg soundtrack scared the shit out of me while playing the campaign. I would only play during the day and when my brother was around.

To anyone who doubts the possibilities offered by a piano, prepare to be blown away:



She already did Terran Theme 1 and 2. But those were requests. I don't think she actually plays SCBW. She does a lot of piano transcriptions for heavy songs like Toxicity, really good pianist. Really nice sounding keyboard too I must say.

If anyone buys her piano sheets please let me know :D
Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

I play zerg. I did not recognize until I heard the actual version. But anything not terran is pretty hard to pull off without more than 1 person

Really nice, I like your adaptation. It sounds a lot different than the original but it has to (different instruments and so). Also really good piano skills, I wish I could play like you (sadly, I am too lazy to train enough).

Interesting arrangements. Though, i feel like you were losing timing at some instance. Would have been interesting to hear the rest of the piece. Hopefully you'll arrange the rest. The Protoss piece would be interesting as a Waltz. Good job.
