Members mc9320 Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow. I really enjoyed that. A very creative arrangement which sounds much better than the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jorge7 Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 A big step toward achieving the potential of the piano as a percussion instrument. Very creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rasputin1963 Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Are you 100% sure this isn't an illusion? To my ears it sounds like the music was carefully sequenced by digital sample and digital FX.... then they came in later and filmed themselves acting out an interesting--- but illusory--- version of how this was created. I know, I know-- people like me should be marched out into the back-yard and shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a music video, after all. Also, these Piano Guys seem to be well-funded, it's not like they're a bunch of starving college kids who recorded themselves with a cellphone cam and suddenly got famous on YouTube. One of their videos is a re-work of Coldplay's "Paradise" done with African lyrics and percussion -- which is actually very, very nice...But in the beginning of the video they show a grand piano get airlifted onto this mountain...I mean, who would have the budget for THAT?!? The piano-on-a-distant-mountain thing is neat, but kinda arrogant on another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KindredDuo Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Some of my students showed me these guys. The Cello Wars parody of star wars is a big hit with the tweeners. The production seems to be really high quality and musicality is great. They can really play. I wondered how they can afford to do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
