@@smonkk8556 Yes but it's not all one take, it's multiple layers of piano through different instruments or just different sections of piano. Creating electronic music almost always involves literal piano playing, but there's a difference between one person playing a full song with two hands, and one person playing numerous sections separately and combining them via electronic software
@@smonkk8556 ....No??? no, it's not???? That's not how that works at all. What are you smoking? The song is designed with so many instruments and different sections that to play Toby Fox's exact version, it would take probably 2 pianists at LEAST, maybe even 3. You can restructure a more complicated song into less complicated sheet music for 2 hands which is what this person did. Unless youre being deliberately stupid to say that only certain melodies were designed to be played by hand individually, which is obviously true, but the original commenter was obviously talking about the song as a whole piece, not individual parts of the song by themselves. Also, please don't say "composersplaining" ever again lol that was the cringiest thing I've read in weeks and I'm a proponent of cringe culture being dead.
@@CalamitousChivalry congratulations youve figured out that arrangements written for performance by multiple musicians (or rather one musician multiple times) can be simplified down to solos. would you like a medal for it? my main issue is basically with this weird culture of psuedofetishism with a totally achievable, if high skill level. this isnt some weird case of a CRAZY song being written that could NEVER be played by human hands and then some LEGEND just goes and does it. its someone who's pretty good at piano transcribing a piece down to a fast piano solo. its cool and skilled but i hate when people treat it like some ungodly achievement because it removes the act from the realm of just someone practicing and working hard to get good at something into being some wacky gift from the heavens. it devalues their commitment and turns it into something for someone to gawk at and never think about as an actual thing a regular-ass human taught themself to do the mere fact that it was individually written in with piano per segment would inherently make it playable by human hands as a solo piece, at most requiring some truncating and some parts being left to imagination / flubbed (as is pretty common)
BECAUSE YOU SO GRACIOUSLY POSTED SHEET MUSIC WITH THE VIDEO, I WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO LEARN THIS, WHICH WILL PROBABLY TAKE MULTIPLE WEEKS AND MAYBE EVEN MONTS OF MY TIME.
Pleasse with-hold any... ssnide commentss, but... may I have the privilege to be reminded where the ssheet mussic iss? I ssimply musst find thiss, for I am a great fan of the piano... I will die a little if I do not find it...
@KibasLilAngel The sheet music (which I also wrote) is how I now want the song to sound, several months after I recorded this video. Some little parts have changed like the bass octaves, and although I didn't put it in the sheet music for the sake of sticking close to the original piece, there is now accompaniment to the koto solo.
At this point in Homestuck, which I only recently reached, I was like "Oh...Oh NO! Oh crap! So much crap! All of it! All of the crap!" cause of what was going down! Nothing much had happened in Chapter 5 at this point. Really cool that you can play this on Piano!
@Ilovemariofan Done, check the description. I mean, so many people have been asking for this, and today I just FELT like it. Should be completed in a few days. And with my other comment about megalovania - things came up, I just didn't have time.. but no kidding this time, it'll be recorded very soon.
This is my absolute favorite song from Homestuck so far. I've listened to your cover of it three times, back to back just now. Thank you so much for sharing both your music and your sheet music. (I can't play it, but I do appreciate you putting it up for everyone else.)
@IMMAPIGMASK111 Plenty of people have suggested it, so I've actually been working on it - it's a lot more playable than I first thought. So yeah, expect that soon (hopefully)
I named the bits of this song. 00:00 - 00:15 "Glistening Cascade" 00:15 - 00:47 "Chaos Rush" 00:47 - 1:11 "Loco in the Koto" 1:11 - 1:41 "Hold the Line" 1:41 - 2:05 "Fall from Space" 2:05 - 2:18 "Get Back Up" 2:18 - 3:00 "Chaos Rush Aggression" 3:00 - 3:29 "To All Beginnings, an End" 3:29 - End "And to All Ends, a Beginning"
Oh god I tried to find notes sheet for this song ever since the flash came! I even tried to make my own sheet, but it was wrong in a lot of aspects (Even tough I have Absolute pitch!) So THANK YOU! This may not be the most accurate to the original, but it is GOOD ENOUGH TO ME. Thank you. Seriously, I know how hard you have worked on it.
I recognized the part where the shit hit the fan, in [S] Jade: Enter. O_O God there are so many fabulous pianists in the Homestuck fandom someone help me hold my feelings i have too many
I've been learning a very similar piano version of this for two weeks now, and every time I watch this video (to take a peek at the fingering), I just get stuck here, because the cover is just too damn good :P
I'm so happy I get email notifications from your channel, Saw this the minute it came online. I gotta say, its amazing. I'm trying to tab this song out for guitar, I've got up to 0:39 before shit gets hard :P
on the single note at the endish, where jade falls through the snow, it was two notes instead of the one, and I bet the dude playing was like. DAMMIT. xD AWESOME job!
@KibasLilAngel Bro, I hear you. I just printed this music out today and I've only been able to work through the first page in four hours....... it's probably going to take about eight times that to finish the second page as well XD and then all the others of course. I am impressed with anyone who can play this song half as well as this guy... KUDOS PIANO GUY!!
I love this so much. Your piano-playing (is there something else I should call it? Don't wanna offend anyone) skills are amazing! I hate to be demanding, but do you think you could possibly do Karkat's theme (Crustacean) next? I would love you forever (not that I don't already, but moreso!).
This music was created electronically, so it was literally not meant for human hands.
toby fox plays most of his music in through piano...
@@smonkk8556 Yes but it's not all one take, it's multiple layers of piano through different instruments or just different sections of piano. Creating electronic music almost always involves literal piano playing, but there's a difference between one person playing a full song with two hands, and one person playing numerous sections separately and combining them via electronic software
@@CalamitousChivalry cool thanks for composersplaining to me but its still designed for human hands or it couldnt be played in in the first place

I rarely like videos, mostly because I use my like option as a "watch later" button.
I tried to like this video twice.

2:08
jegus
i'm gone
that part is amazing
+Shadet06Vocaloid I just want this part as standalone song. Its FUCKING dope in every version I listen to it.
Killed this. Still coming back after all this time.
@MakinDharma1 Don't forget that totally insane solo from 1:50 - 2:30 that would break both my hands instantly
Is this John Egbert playing?! :D
Yes, of course it is.
.
1'm not taking it seriously. Trying to add on to the joke :P

The Atomic Bonsai bit was epic!

how did i not realize the last part was an unbreakable union
and the first part
This is it.
The video that got me into Homestuck.
Thanks, man.
np
why are you thanking them lmfao
@Ilovemariofan
Done, check the description. I mean, so many people have been asking for this, and today I just FELT like it. Should be completed in a few days. And with my other comment about megalovania - things came up, I just didn't have time.. but no kidding this time, it'll be recorded very soon.
The transition into the Alternia bit sounded even better than in the song itself. Beautiful stuff.
I got a bit teary-eyed at that end bit
8 vriskas and 2 sollux's disliked this because it reminded them of almost winning sburb in [S] jade enter
This is the first homestuck video I ever watched.
This got me into the fandom.
WHO THE *FUCK* CLICKED DISLIKE!?

I'm absolutely in love from 0:18 to 0:38.
Holy hell, I just noticed the tune from "Courser" is in here. It's so beautiful!!!
_You have reached god tier in piano skills-_
This is my absolute favorite song from Homestuck so far. I've listened to your cover of it three times, back to back just now. Thank you so much for sharing both your music and your sheet music. (I can't play it, but I do appreciate you putting it up for everyone else.)
tHIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED BY HUMAN HANDS, CONGRATS DUDE,
You sir, have earned a sub.
This gives me chills, man. Utter chills.
THSI IS SO GOOD WTF
Best rendition of a homestuck song on piano.
Hands down.
I didn't think this song could possibly be converted into a piano piece of any quality.
THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING A SHEET MUSIC LINK. I HAVE WANTED TO LEARN TO PLAY THIS ON THE PIANO SINCE FIRST HEARING IT.
@IMMAPIGMASK111 Plenty of people have suggested it, so I've actually been working on it - it's a lot more playable than I first thought. So yeah, expect that soon (hopefully)
I...
I...
I don't even know what to say to this.
You have all the talent.
All of it.
I love this cover...always get goose bumps at least 2 or 3 times
i cant even express my love for your music. its amazing. incredible work. im absolutely blown away and you need to be proud of that ability. wow
I named the bits of this song.

So THANK YOU! This may not be the most accurate to the original, but it is GOOD ENOUGH TO ME.
Thank you. Seriously, I know how hard you have worked on it.
I'm in love with your hands... they're just so perfect.
This makes me very happy.
All I can say is... This is awesome and you are awesome for doing this.
i see your piano skills haven't faded a single bit, john! :D
A WINRAR IS YOU. YOU ARE AN HERO.
God damn, you do this song 10x better than I ever could. Your effort shows! Awesome playing~~
I got goosebumps listening to this...
I recognized the part where the shit hit the fan, in [S] Jade: Enter. O_O
God there are so many fabulous pianists in the Homestuck fandom
someone help me hold my feelings
i have too many
You win. Forever. The part around 1:00 was a bit WHAT, but it got better!
You are the badass. It's you.
In all seriousness though, I absolutely adore this. Amazingly well done!
The part you came to 2:08 (Where the trolls shows up in the animation, if I remember it right) , I started to cry OnO
Awesome work!
If I could play this on the piano I would tell people that I have magical hands.
You definitely have magic hands.
The first part is spot on perfect
I've been learning a very similar piano version of this for two weeks now, and every time I watch this video (to take a peek at the fingering), I just get stuck here, because the cover is just too damn good :P
Excuse me while I go recover from the amazingness of this... Keep it up! You are an amazing pianist and keep on pushing your skills!
Manly tears were shed.
You my friend just got the Tiger.
All praise the IMBROG1 OF PIANO
Is the part that begins at 1:12 a motif from another song or is it native to this song?
***** I think it's native.
it is actually part of the same song, surprisingly
+MorrisTheHorris THE LORD HAS INFORMED US THAT IT ORIGINATES FROM THE THEME "COURSER"
It continues from "Descend" to mirror the fact that [S] Jade: Wake Up picks up from the end of [S] Descend.
+MorrisTheHorris And the last part is from carefree action.
Got goosebumps, I love music
I am obsessed with this song!!!!!I love it so much! Good job
The best cover in Paradox Space
holy fuck are you a god or something
+Undyne ... HE PROBABLY IS,
He's the Hero of Melody
Knight of Song maybe? ::::?
Guys guys he's obviously the Maid of Music
egg is a good source of egg

This is an absolutely amazing piece. I will have to learn to play piano so I can learn this!
@KibasLilAngel Bro, I hear you. I just printed this music out today and I've only been able to work through the first page in four hours....... it's probably going to take about eight times that to finish the second page as well XD and then all the others of course.

This is 100% goals

You're absolutely amazing! :D
