La Dispute

vladtepesdrac — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 07:27:58 +0000

La Dispute was always one of those pieces that I felt needed to be played at night. I had the plan/idea for this video for quite a long time, however, everytime I got to recording it, it never really felt right! This time though, it seemed perfect. I had just gotten my 35mm adaptor for my video camera, so I now could stick on photography lenses and get some sweet DOF. I took full advantage of this, and decided it would be perfect for the melodica shot. Then, when I started recording, I thought it would be cool to have the effect of me focusing in and out at the beginning, and the colour changing to black and white! I always try to do something different for each video to keep ya’ll interested!

Enjoy!

Allay Pain

The thing I liked most about Witch Hunter Robin was definitely the soundtrack! It’s filled with some amazing music by composer Taku Iwasaki. Allay Pain has always been a favourite piece of mine! It’s fairly simple, but so beautiful and just waiting to be expressed in all manners possible. Another great piece from the soundtrack is “Shell” which I plan to cover in the future (guitar version). Looking forward to it, hope you are too!

L’autre Valse d’Amélie – full

Transcribing Yann Tiersen’s pieces, for the most part, isn’t so bad. Usually they are solo songs: on piano or accordion. However, the MAJORITY of Tiersen’s music is multi-instrumental masterpieces! Something noone has done (yet?) on YouTube is do full multi-instrumental covers of Tiersen’s music (at least I haven’t seen any yet). This has been one of my goals for a long time, since I know I can learn all the different pieces on the different instruments. However, the BIGGEST problem is figuring each of those individual parts out haha! Have to listen REALLLLLLY closely and try and focus on each part, and then figure out the notes from there! This piece was fairly easy to transcribe, but some of the other ones I’m working on – not so much!

I will have many more full covers coming soon – like Valse d’Amelie! Sheet music will be included as well…of course!

La Valse des Monstres – toy piano version

vladtepesdrac — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 08:43:55 +0000

One of my ALL-TIME favourite Tiersen pieces is La Valse des Monstres! I absolutely loooooooooooove it! Anytime I pick my accordion up, it’s usually the first piece I play!!

So, I was pretty excited when I got my new Jaymar Toy Piano to try it out and record it! All my other toy pianos have too little keys to be able to play this piece, which is why I got the Jaymar specifically to have more key range; and of course because it’s older and aged quite a bit, it has a very unique tone!

Since the piece literally means “The Waltz of the Monsters” I wanted to somehow capture that feeling with the video! If you watch, there are shadows “dancing” around me as I play the piece! This happened by accident lol! My apartment gets really hot during the day since it’s always facing the sun; so I usually have my fan on all the time! When I was doing some earlier takes, I noticed some shadows moving slightly on my back, since the light from the adjacent room was passing by my Japanese curtains in the doorway as they were slightly swaying with the wind from the fan! Realizing this, I put the fan outside of the door blowing in, to make a more intense wave of the curtains, and that’s how I made the monsters dance behind me!

Comptine n.9

vladtepesdrac — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:42:06 +0000

I’ve never actually heard an official recording of this piece, can’t find it on any of Tiersen’s albums, not even the unpublished ones! However, in almost any Yann Tiersen Sheet Music Compilation you download on the internet, this song seems to be included! It’s quite a pretty piece, and one of those very relaxing ones to play!

La Redécouverte

vladtepesdrac — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 08:40:29 +0000

Whenever I listen to this song, I picture some cute little creatures scurrying around! It’s a great simple piece, nice combination of two uncommon instruments! Tiersen working his magic as usual!

So here’s my go at it, with some Totoro’s coming along to help!
