I'm a pianist, turned organ enthusiast, turning poet and songwriter.
I love getting the "feels" from music, so now I'm trying to add to what I already enjoy!

Michael Bonsteel - Army of God (Official Music Video)
Christian Rock the way I want it!
Verses 1 & 2 are general Christian faith friendly.
Verse 3 is very LDS friendly!
Share with your friends and family!
I took an artist's approach during the 2nd verse, trying to stay true to scripture in what *might* have gone unrecorded. This was to allow for *possible* dialogue. Who knows was actually said between great men?

Had this written such that I could play it,... if I was better with my feet on the organ pedals. Orange line is for a base drum or some other thing that sounds like Hyrule soldiers marching to battle.

Power Rangers Organ and Piano Duet (Synthesia)

A couple notes worth mentioning: 1- The red line (pedals) is notated wrongly an octave too low. This was done on purpose for visual effect. Use the right stops, and the organ definitely sounds that low. 2- The green line 'solo' has similar problems in regards to the 1st note.

My most ambitious project yet! :D I had nothing to go off of other than the audio, so I transcribed and arranged the whole thing. Huzzah!!! Also, I'm really sorry for the visual stuttering. Synthesia couldn't keep up perfectly, despite I having a hefty graphics card. :P What can you do? *cough* Get better software. Maybe someday, maybe someday.

Castlevania Bloody Tears (Synthesia)

What I wrote for my other video. Tried to make it easy to listen to by making it a little predictable. My aim was to practice my footwork while still doing something with my hands. I unintentionally caused myself to practice forcing my hands to make dissonance.

My own original arrangement of "Bloody Tears" from Castlevania. Mistakes were made... Dissonance and syncopation galore!
Ganondorf:
I love how this makes me feel!🥰 I could feel of your faith in God. Thank you for putting those stories we know about Father's & Son's into thought-provoking lyrics. I'm so grateful that I believe in God and can join with others to be a part of His great work!
Awesome awesome stuff, there are only a few melodic mistakes but they dont´t take away from the overall song and can easily be fixed. Thanks for this
hell yeah dude
Honestly you could improve your technique. I admit that I also struggle with technique, and you’re actually better than me . Therefore, I admit it’s a tad hypocritical!
Why offer unsolicited advice when you acknowledge your own hypocrisy? He likely already knows he could improve, he doesn't need some amateur critic to tell him that
What organ did you use for this, how many people did you have by your side in the duet, and what are the names of the other organists? Also, what instrument, imitated by the organ, does each color represent? This Is Cool!
Red is feet. Blue is left hand. Green is right hand, yellow is for the church bells with prescribed hass beaters.
Did you record this at a church?
Yup! Real pipes sound way better than samples. Some of the bigger pipes can get physically overpowering (vibrations,) but it always sounds a lot better in person.
@@michaelbonsteel You played it so well!
Lyrics: [Verse 1] In this world of constant darkness where fools might claim to see a star. Where skin is useful when comparing and cloths tell others what we are. I close my eyes in frustration with thoughts of doubt and creeping fear. I remember there's an act called hearing. A whisper's made behind my ear. Wake up [Verse 2] My eyes are open once again now, but hearing whispers has not gone away. I regret this wierd and crude distraction. I'll focus only on today. I'd rather do what's fun and easy, but the whispers tell me that's not so. There is something there I can't remember of wanting more and where to go. Wake up [Verse 3] The calls and whispers I've heard make me question if my whole life has only been a dream. A solid voice above makes my eyes wander. I see a star I nearly scream. But what brings me the most concern now are the banners and flags I have never seen. A march! A parade of devotion, and words swung with a single theme. Wake Up [Chorus 1] Our Master suffered for our sorrows. Our Savior has conquered the grave. Our Lord commands that we remember. Our Brother pleads to let Him save. Wake Up [Verse 4] I see my situation clear now. I've been a part of the pigpen. So many people I have troubled. I can't remember where or when. My actions weren't just for survival. This blood I wear is not for show. The filth I took the greatest pride in were selfish quests and traded blows. [Verse 5] I like the things that I'm now hearing of water made to wash away the filthy stains deep in my soul and the ways to keep the dirt at bay. I make commitment not to join in petty wars and any mudslinging. I'm given robes of deeper curing and told of power that they can bring. Wake Up [Verse 6] My mind's a whirl! I feel the rush now! I'm too excited for this song. I'm finally free from this world's burden. I feel like I can do no wrong. I hear that I should spread the message of water so clean that it lightly burns. The purifying strength and the power of condemnation overturned. [Chorus 2] The False King lost to Older Brother. The Master's power is on display. The Savior's suffering is over. The Lord commands! We must obey! Wake Up [Verse 7] The unseen friends who teach and whisper insist I cease with my crusade. Selfrighteous words and harsh commandments only add to the mess I've made. My words are whips, they do not cure. My ancestors don't look at me. I'm sure. I plead for mercy and redemption. My eyes are burned. My mouth is purged. Wake up [Verse 8] I see the march below the star now. A shining bridge high in the air. It is my time soon to go join them. I'm desperately trying to share. The water's free! I merely follow. I simply say it's truly there. When others claim that I am crazy, insist I lie? I wouldn't dare. [Verse 9] I finally see the great procession. I finally see who's helping me. I steer my eyes. Somehow surprised, I see my friends. My family! They tell me I must keep on going, that this is not some simple dream. I wake up from this vision knowing the water and its source supreme. Wake Up [Chorus 3] My Lord asks that I forgive others. My God says never say "Thou Fool!" My Savior shows through pure example. My Master speaks the golden rule. Wake Up
This was incredible!
I know the organ is probably THE most difficult version of the keys to play, but I think if this was reuploaded with some of those rough parts smoothed out, or embelleshed in a more dissonant yet theororetically correct way, this would explode. It is almost perfect, but still an amazing job. I hope you don't think I mean to detract from this performance. Great job.
You rule
As a kid, I used to play the shit out of this game when it came out just to hear bloody tears ❤️ this was amazing
Good arrangement
Cool thanks
Grande compañero te quedo 10/10 como me gusta la melodia
Well played! At 1:30 I think for the right hand part, if the notes are Bb A Bb D C# Eb F# G would be closer to the original sound track. No means to offend 🙏
Hello, could you tell me which register do you use for this music ?
By register, do you mean the organ sound bites? I use FL Studio for music creation, and it's the "Church Organ" in the "Orchestral Samples" package.
@@michaelbonsteel well by register I mean the combination of stops (a particular set of organ pipes) to produce a particular sound. You know, amoung those you have for example "principale, dulcina, ottava, tremolo...". But do you mean you remade this song with a software ?
@@tomcurmer1162 If you're talking about the different stops I used, it was all synthesized from the samples I referred to earlier. There were no "Stops" chosen. Just a set of sound samples. Sorry for the confusion. You would need to ask that question to the creator of the samples. The samples were taken and assembled by those who made the "Varazdin Orchestral" purchasable content for FL Studio.
Oh, and yes, I made this in software called FL Studio. Software first for proof of concept. Real life practice if I'm talented enough. p.s. - I used a macro on the FL Studio rendered 'midi' file to make it compatible with Synthesia. I just sync the audio I synthesized to the visual "tutorial." Sounds better than Synthesia's generic sounds.
@@michaelbonsteel Hi back, thanks for your messages, I am actually trying to play this song with a synthesized organ and it seems playable (but really hard since it's my first experience haha). Good luck with your futures projects
Underrated! I can't even play it and my subs are higher than yours.
Practice, it's not too hard when you learn it by sections
Next week I will get to go to one of my local churches and play the digital organ there. Also, a few weeks after that I will get to go to another church and actually play a pipe organ. Have you played a pipe organ before? Whether or not you have, if you ask a church to schedule a time for you to play, they will probably just schedule to let you play it. Reason being that playing pipe organs is a dying art, and organists love the rare times when they see a rising pipe organist. And I agree that this is underrated!
"what is an organ? a miserable little pile of strings. but enough talk, have at you!'
*pipes
@@helenwhs lmao
Nice
Hell music 🎼 phantom of opera
Nice work, I love it! Just, at 0:33 I do a A, Bb, C, Ab, F#, G instead of you (idk if i'm right because I don't play it in the same rank) P.S : sorry for bad English, I'm French :/
Beautiful transcription! I am curious as to how long it took you to find the voicing you wanted.
It took me about 2 months, but that's because it's just a hobby right now. I wrote the whole thing out before I even started practicing it myself. I've posted the "tutorial" just now, which, once I listened to it nearing completion, and got goosebumps, my transcription/arrangement efforts drastically increased.

Why is there another instrument?
Organ has an additional foot pedal for bass notes (red notes)
Great work man! Love this!
THIS IS SO FIRE 🔥
Grandparents: Church is a nice and not creepy place. The Church:
I would go to church if I could vibe to the music like this, but sadly I can't. All the music they play is slow and lathargic, never this fast and certainly never this intense.
mi mi mi mieeee... Hmm something appears to be wrong with my throat
Damn fine job
Goosebumps holy fuck
why does it sound like there are violins in background?
You can imitate violins with an organ
@@lucavopel6029 how tho? Isnt the organ like a piano shaped instrument?
@@NOONE-cd4gu the organ is comparable to an acoustic synth more so
@@jacobnelson4150 the more you learn....
@NOONE-cd4gu The organ is an all pipe instrument. You can immitate almost anything from pipe And only the console part... If your piano has 2 or more key boards and a full foot board for playing?
Супер!
Отлично!
How do you do the red parts?
It's an organ cover, so you use your feet on the pedal keys.
Michael Bonsteel thank you!
Use the Force
Yes
The only thing that matter is that you did your best!
Could you please please uppload the midi file? I really really like it! 👍🏻🔥🔥
what kinda epic church music is this
The Church of Seiros
The boss fight against the Pope.
@@DatGuyWhoPlays nah Church of Sothis
Not a bad arrangement at all, though some percussion lines could have helped convey the weight of the song a lot better. For the instruments you chose though, good job!
We must bring up the views!
Dude, awesome work. Hope you'll post more compositions!
This should have a lot more views!!!
