- Sorry not sorry this channel has become all-Octopath channel lmao I swear there will be a break in Octopath content for the next upload to unveil the stuff I did for the FF9 Memoria Project (which drops THIS WEEK SO LOOK OUT FOR IT!!!) BUT IT WILL RESUME SHORTLY THEREAFTER LOL 😀❤️ Here's a cool thing I did with the incredibly awesome @SamanthaBallard of one of my favorite themes from the game!
Piano and harp isn't a common combination because we tend to step on each other's toes a lot so it took a fair bit of experimentation and a lot of back and forth but it was awesome to work with a consummate professional like Samantha, she was super patient and added so many cool things I would have never thought of, plus did a fantastic job mixing the track, and I learned a lot about what works best in harp writing. The main challenge for us in writing the arrangement was how to differentiate and play to the strengths of our respective instruments, since we cover the same ground. Big thanks once again to James Hoffmann for his advice and feedback on carving a unique space for each of us in the mix. We're super pleased with how this came out and hope you like it too!!! Really had fun working with Samantha in pulling this together and hope to work with her again soon!!! ❤️
(I admit I left Osvald passed out face down in the snow for a while because I'm not big on mages lmao...plus I had my hands full trying to beef up the western folks in my party first hahaha. Love they made the scholar the beefcake in this game mugging people and crap lmao one of the many chaotic nonsensical decisions that made me love this game so much ahahahaha)

Omg more Octopath II ?!?! Y'all are spoiling us, seriously. This is too beautiful
GIRL OMG YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS SO MUCH!!!!! 😍😍❤❤❤i've pretty much signed my life away to that OST for the near and distant future hahaha
I may be getting ahead of myself, but I believe many folks in this community will take ALL of the OT2 themes you'd cover. This soundtrack has been living in my head rent-free since the day it dropped, these renditions are absolutely stunning!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭omg that makes me so happy to hear, as I have MANY MORE OT2 shenanigans in the pipeline, and same--the OST has not left my brain since day one and continues to live there even after I beat the game three weeks ago hahaha. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Dear Lord, That was absolutely amazing . The harp gave your piano just the perfect amount of essence. The sound was incredible, and the side by side was incredible. That made me grab my Loreena McKennitt DVD and drop it in the Sony. Hands down BEAUTIFUL!!!
thank you so much Thomas, I couldn't agree more, she added such an ethereal quality to this! HAHAHA i haven't heard Loreena McKennitt in ages, good stuff!!!! Thanks so much for listening!
@purpleschala sure enough, put in her Nights from the Alhambra after your video. If you're the one who put that together in your head before the recording of that video, well, let's just say I'm impressed. I can't do that. But I can and do often, is take that ride . For that, I'm truly blessed because not everyone can. Some people here music as just background noise in their life. If this is your outlet, you're a genius in your field, and I like the way you think 🤔
YAY another OT2 cover ❤ And oh no poor Osvald freezing alone 😢 I admit, I was surprised by how much I ended up loving him and how his Chapter 4 made me cry 🥲 But seriously, this game has successfully endeared me to every traveler and soundtrack, and I’m so glad you’re doing all these covers!!! Keep ‘em coming 🥹👏
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and yesssss totally with you Osvald was one of my faves, loved his story and his character so much esp in the travel banter so I felt bad about leaving him in the snow for so long 😂😂😂 so happy you enjoyed this one, thank you again!!!!
A purpleschala piece to start off the week, AND something from ff9 in the future? Sweet. Thanks!
thank you so much Shirayasha!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The atmosphere you captured here is mesmerizing, what a cover!
thank you so much!!!!!!
you ladies are amazing separate but together? you are too powerful! this musical duel tech of a cover is too good! you guys have blown me away in a whirlwind of beautiful sound!
ahh thank you so much!!! Samantha is a consummate musician, she really made this one so good!!!
@@purpleschala yes she is and did! but hey you are and did too! so your welcome!
You know, I have huge admiration for pianists who play accompaniment to these kinds of soundtracks. Nowadays, more people just want to see the hardest most dextruous thing but I feel in my mind, that while it could be physically simpler, there is skill in understanding the synergy that a piano has when intertwined with other instruments to create soundtracks that really soothe you. Props to you and Samantha.
awww thank you so, so much, that means a lot!!! ❤️ I'm more of an accompanist rather than a soloist at heart so I love collaborative piano and it suits my personality more than solo work lololol. It's definitely not the most glamorous thing for pianists, as you say haha, but there's something deeply rewarding about creating something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Besides there's enough of me doing solo shit on here hahaha. Thank you so much for listening, and looking forward to more Vinland Saga 😍😍
This is beautiful! When reading the comments I read that there are more covers and I will definitely be checking them all out!
AAHHHHH!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great ! Octopath Traveler II is one of the best vg OST from 2023. Wonderful and peaceful musics, especially night themes.
thank you so much!!!! I couldn't agree more, OST is def one of my faves in recent memory!!
Wow, amazing piece! This collaboration works perfectly, great work!
thank you so much!!!!!!!
Ehehe, it's you two :D
Well done with this difficult task! It's cold and mysterious, like a winter night should be. I can hear the stars twinkle and the campfire flicker!
omg thank you so much Lynea!!!!!! it really is so well composed, Nishiki is a master of creating simple, evocative melodies for each setting and character!
Yaaaaass such beautiful playing! I enjoyed this arrangement with how the harp and piano bouncing the melody back and forth and the counter melodies alongside~
Yay! Two of my favourite musicians collaborating! Harp and piano is a very difficult to nail but gorgeous when you do combination, and this is perfect. I love how the sounds of the harp and piano feel like they're swirling together in a blizzard of awesomeness.
Ah wow now this is just gorgeous. Truly one of the most lovely themes in the game and you both played beautifully, I even hit replay right after finishing it while I type 😊
Going back to your description...I am so hyped to hear about the FFIX Memoria stuff, FFIX is my favourite game of all time and seeing that passion project has been really lovely
OMG THANK YOU!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ totally agree, it's one of the most beautiful themes on the OST, so much so I'm also doing the daytime version haahahaha 😂 my work on the Memoria project actually did not involve any FF9 arrangements to my surprise lol, but I hope you like what you hear regardless!!! Alex and Pontus did a fantastic job on the OST!!!
Amazing cover - you both nailed it
thanks so much buddy!!!!!
Gorgeous arrangement and performance!! You two did a great job on this cover bouncing each other back and forth and then some. ❤
AHHH THANK YOU!!!!!!!! that was fun to write once we realized we basically covered the same ground lmao, I'm glad you liked it!!!

Woahhhh this is SUPER DUPER BEAUTIFUL!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard a piano and harp duo and this definitely opened up my ears to so many new possibilities of sounds. It’s sooo pretty!! Lovely job to both of you :)
Lovely as always! I can listen to Ocotpath all day, keep it up!
thank you so much Steven!!! Same hahaha so there will def be more to come!!!!
I can definitely picture how getting both harp and piano working together must be tricky, but this sounds super pretty! I think both of you did an amazing job at arranging it, and on the playing as well, of course.
I especially loved everything from 2:25 onward where it really feels like the arrangement plays around with the strengths' of both instruments in a super cool way!
Such a cool duo! You guys did great!
thanks so much!!!!!! so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Schala!❤

I was curious how the harp and piano would work together since they basically do the same thing. This was just lovely. Thanks you two for this beautiful collab!
AHAHAHAHAHA that makes three of us, Samantha and I were like ok now we're here, what do we do?!? LOL def took a lot of test recordings, some of which were like "omg ok we're not doing THAT it sounds so bad lol" 😂 I'm so happy you liked it Shea!! Thank you ❤️

Absolutely adore your Octopath covers - these games have such fantastic music, but your arrangements really add something special! Thanks to you and Samantha for this beautiful interpretation 😍
