Arnór Dan) Yoko Kanno wrote one incredible soundtrack for this show! I kept listening to it over and over again ever since I watched it, and that was years ago. Talk about a lasting impression! I have no idea how many times I've looped "Von", one of my favorite pieces of music ever written, probably, and it still makes me feel things even after all this time. It has such a unique mood to it, makes me think of winter I wrote this medley down about a year ago (though I changed some things since then) and struggled with learning it because of - ironically - Von. If you look at how I play it, it's an absolute mess of me crossing my hands left over right and back, over, under, anything goes. And the reason for that is - the polyrhythm of playing triplets against that constant rhythm that starts with the right hand is ridiculously difficult, and no matter how hard I tried, my left hand refused to understand that it had the melody now, and my right hand refused to understand that it should just keep doing the same thing. So, I improvised and I hoped for the best. Sidenote: after playing it for so long and writing it down in the first place you'd think I'd have it memorized by now lol I call this a medley, but a few of the tracks I play in their entirety - Walt, the large majority of Kvak, most of Birden, and all of Bless. The only ones I shortened were von (it's 6 mins long and a bit repetitive) and Seele, since it sounds so much like Kvak (or Fugl, it's all the same theme after all) I already recorded "Bless" a few years ago, but I completely messed up the audio processing in there, so I thought I'd finish the medley off with it since I tried to keep it chronological (from what I remember - I know the last 3 tracks are definitely in order) I changed the mic placement! I watched Nahre Sol's video about how to mic a grand piano and tried a few of the placements she showed (I'm a big fan of her channel, if you are a pianist and somehow haven't seen it yet I highly recommend). How's the sound? I feel like it has more space to breathe now, I'm getting more of the natural reverb out of it but it sounds a little brighter than before I think Sheet music pinned in the comment! ___ IG: (with bloopers and maybe other things) https://www.instagram.com/calikospiano/ ___ Zankyou no Terror (残響のテロル) soundtrack by Yoko Kanno
