Title: Piano Based Music (some sad)
Post by: BrokenCrowe (Mendelevium) on 2009-12-13 04:48:45
Well I am a huge fan of piano based  music. Mostly depressing ones tho. XD.
Not really funny, but yeah. Here are some of my favorites. Post yours too!

If we are gonna talk 'non traditional' piano, my favorite keyboardist is jordan rudess of dream theater

He is playing a keytar here, just dicking around on the stage with john petrucci (kuitar?)

As far as 'sad' music goes, I like opeth's album watershed

I'm Final Fantasy obsessed, so obviously, I'm going to post something Final Fantasy related here.

It's a piano arrangement of the final part of Dancing Mad.

Obligatory sad piano music is obligatory. And traditional. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck)

And I'm sure everyone knows the story (http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/gloomy.asp) behind this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kkxbw3s2pM). Complete nonsense,of course, but interesting nonetheless.

I've personally always been a good fan of saxophone and blues. The Seatbelts did a great job on the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDViNkc7d5A&feature=related). But of course, I'm also into less traditional sax music (http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/window/media/page/0,,3346790-7267071,00.html).

more from Cowboy Bebop:

The SimCity 3000 soundtrack is actually what initially got me into this whole genre:

As far as piano music is concerned, you can't go wrong with The Nightmare's Beginning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ISg64Ytdw), although I feel that the song works equally well with spanish guitar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4TEcefo1J4).
Then again, the song sounds good no matter what you play it on (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfjyFsEG1oc&feature=related).

This song right here is a work of art, arguably one of the best I have heard. ^.^

Ahhh... I'm amazed by these people's habilities.

This one isn't played using a piano, but I also find it excelent:

Wish you a happy new year.
