A couple of times, I would select a piece to arrange based on the original-with no consideration for how it might translate to piano, and because of that this piece may have taken the longest to complete!īecause computer generated music is metronomically precise, I wanted to humanize it by breathing more "life" into the piece taking subtle liberties with time, while always respecting the constant underlying rhythmic pulse. Also wanted to focus on mixing groups of 2 over groups of 3 in different ways, much like the original did. With Win, it was important to capture the gradual build.
I set out to create a closing track for my album Level, and knew I wanted something that was optimistic, and kind of frenetic in its energy. This piece was heavily inspired by the music from the game Super Mario RPG. What followed was a long and fruitful collaboration - an open invitation for David to explore my catalogue and tackle what he liked, and a whole lot of back and forth as we refined and honed in on an eclectic set of piano arrangements. I was really taken by David's style, watched all of his clips and reached out to complement him and see if he might want to work on a piano arrangement.
One day, I saw an Instagram video of someone performing a short snippet of 'Forgotten' from FEZ on piano. 'Disasters for Piano' is a collection of my works arranged (for piano) by David Peacock.
