Besaid Island - FFX Piano Collections (Video)
on: June 18, 2018, 01:38:18 AM
I absolutely LOVE this arrangement of the theme from final fantasy 10. Composed and arranged by Masashi Hamauzu (performed by myself here), this is very much a concert piece in the impressionistic style. This has been a favorite piano piece of mine for years and the coda never ceases to impress me.

a favorite for good reason , it's darn fine piano writing , and you play it exceedingly well.
one of my favs of the lot also.
thanks for sharing this, it's a dope piece and the video is on point
ig was going to offer any sort of constructive opinion on it for a tad bit of improvement,  would be to play w the piano settings,  there is a sort of reverb or synth echo to that piano sampling,  in some pieces it would sound super fresh like the battle music. but this piece needs a light bouncy bouncy feel so a more natural sounding grand w a super sparkly treble might be something to explore
again well done,  good choice
enjoyed it a bunch

Thank you for the feedback. I actually had the echo (a bit too high) on my audio interface for this video as i was still exploring the settings at the time. i totally agree that this piece is ideal with cleaner acoustics and light echo. Good advice for more recordings in the future

I also love the acoustic guitar track you are talking about (spira unplugged). I really want to do a piano arrangement of that track in the future. Thanks for listening!
