bluelighter Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 One of the best track from ff7, IMO. There wasn’t arrangement of it in the Piano Collection; so I’ve tried to make mine . This piece group several influences: sometimes calm with crystalline sounds in high, other times with more accentuated rhythm. In the 2nd part, I’ve wanted to give some religious sonorities by adding a new harmony. The mix finish by a little part from the ff9’s “Ceremony for the Gods”, track wich good marry with the first theme, I think. The arrangement is ready, but I've still some problems of record. I’ll try to correct it later by recording in better condition. I hope you’ll enjoy this arrangement!

Chris ~ Amaterasu Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I really like this =) I love piano and I love FFVII, if you could get a recording that sounded even better that'd be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guifrog Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) For real? o.o That's STUNNING, dude! If you could work on a less abrupt transition at 1:30 and 2:22, make the section after 1:30 sound cleaner (it probably will once you're good for the better rec) and a less unexpected ending (it could be even taken off), that would be perfect. Seriously, I'm wowed at this. You've got a sick talent, and I totally dig it! Edited May 21, 2011 by Guifrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelighter Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments!! About transition at 1’30 and 2’22; I precisely think that it make an interesting effect by the contrast. But I agree that ending is a little unexpected. Maybe I have to rework on transition or on other end. I think problem of recording place more at the first part (before). At 1’00, I feel an imperceptible acceleration. Not a very important, but enough to need a new record. Any other ideas to improve this piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambinate Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 this is a really interesting arrangement! i like the use of dynamics and contrast - not at all what i was expecting, but i think it works well. the playing is excellent, too. nice work!

Kiamet Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The intro through to about 0:50 is really great, expect there's a noticeable acceleration throughout. Then I think you come in too strong, too early. The real climax of the form is at 1:10 when the harmony starts to move. This part is really strong, great bombastic playing, so I think it needs to be "built up to" a little more. After that, it's nice when the dynamics come down. But the chordal sections at 1:30-48, then 2:08-2:22 don't really add to the arrangement - rather, they exhaust the listener's patience for that loud, bassy dynamic. If you lean on that bass E too much, it doesn't feel like the piece is going anywhere. The quieter section at 2:22-3:00 is exactly what the piece needs more of - more contrast. Both in dynamics and harmony. You've got the parts for a great dramatic piano piece here, you just need to balance it a bit more, and make sure not to lose the melody in the faster, louder bits.

bluelighter Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks’ for your critic! I know there is a little acceleration. It comes at the repeat of the melody. With some training, I hope I could play that cleaner About 2nd part (at 1’10), it was wanted to use a faster tempo. I think it was necessary for a contrast between the calm before, and the furious rhythm after. The series of harmonies at 1’10 make a transition between these two parts. Idem for 2’22; but maybe bass of E is too leaned, I agree. I’ll see to correct that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorax Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It's possible! Is it really important? Nah. It was bugging me, that's all. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. [End Off Topic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelighter Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Update. I've recorded a new version of this piece, that I've posted on OCR. LINK DELETED This time, I've used an electric piano directly linked to my recording. I hope the quality sound is better. FOr this occasion, I've corrected the end that didn't work. So, this piece is only from mining town. I hope you enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
