It’s been ages since I found something that suited my playstyle this well!
I started watching Trigun Stampede a few days ago, and the moment I heard the villain pianist’s theme I knew it was written for me specifically. I saw it called “Interstellar OST but anime” and honestly, it’s not far off! It’s in A minor, and the harmony and overall vibe is similar in places, and both make for great piano arrangements.
I transcribed this one in one sitting yesterday, and I learned to play it and recorded it in the span of 24 hours LOL, you could say I got possessed for a day. I swear, it’s so much fun though. It plays to all my strengths! I love love love those left-hand octaves playing the melody while the right hand has all those 16th notes, the hand crossings, the triplet melody against the 16th note ostinato, man I just love the whole thing.
And as I listened to it, I realized it reminded me a bit of another OST in style, and I was right – Tatsuya Kato who composed the music also worked on the OST for Revue Starlight along with some others, which I covered so much of back in the day (almost 5 years ago?!)
Side note: Through this entire recording my doggo was asleep, splayed out on the carpet, right next to my foot. Sadly, it turned out to be just out of frame this time 😔
I have the sheet music written down, I’ll post it in the comments soon!
See you next piece~

Great ! I didn't know this music ! Thank's !
I'm not a big fan of Anime, but gods the music they have is great!
I'm glad you make it discoverable for me, Thanks! 🙂
I don't know what's more impressive the fact that you learned and recorded this all within 24 hours or that you were able to seamlessly flip to the next page on your iPad with all those 16th notes going on in your RH.
Always impressed by the dynamics you involve in your playing, I envy your level of control!
Truly magnificent 👏

You weren't kidding about this song fitting your style. I know the feeling well of being "possessed" when you just resonate with something so well you go past your limits and creativity you've never thought you had. Great upload.
the madlad did it!!
2:12 is really nice and epic page turn
What an incredible arrangement, you can really feel the resonance between you and the piece! Also seems YouTube was being awfully quiet about your uploads, got a bit to catch up with~
