I don't know the song, but this sounds very nice.
However, I have to point out which piano you used. The piano sounds slightly dull and one you'd use during vintage times.
Maybe if you use a Yamaha piano, it could sound prettier? o:

Thank you for your recommendation. Believe it or not, I'm using the best stuff I have. In this situation, I'm using Nexus 2, Dance Volume 2. Other VST's are too robotic and uninteresting. Fl Keys is very great for my CPU, but it's sounding is way too computerized. I apologize for my sounding being not pretty, but when you only have so much make-up, you do the best that you can. :) Take care, and thanks again!

Very nice song, I do agree that the VST takes away the human element which would drive this song so much more emotionally. I can see why you love thissong though, brilliant chord progressions.

Thanks Cru. This is one of my new favorite songs done by Pentatonix, so I just had to do a piano version of it. Since they only use their voice, and no other instrument, it was possible. Thanks again!

Glad you took it to a piano version. Nice music. I think it is a bit flat (not much dynamic range).

I appreciate your comment. I tried to make it identical to the original. Of course, it won't sound as good compared to actual voices, however I'm satisfied with this. Thanks again.

Beautiful piano play right here...I'm a midi player too so I appreciate your attempt very much...:-)

Nice flowing and stunning atmosphere you've created...

Much respect, Danke

Thank you Danke. I really love how this came out. It was enjoyable for me. I recommend checking out the original one Pentatonix made, then listen to mine again. I attempted to make it nearly identical to each other.

I appreciate it, but I didn't really play the piano on this track. I can, but I pretty much used piano sounding vst's to make this all. Nevertheless, I appreciate your comment. Take care!

Some nice chord patterns there, they all move with a groove that
would be easy enough, to follow using simple formulas chord wise...

Real Nice Track...

hey Ookami,
You did really great job with programming the piano here. However the natural dynamic and flow of the piano playing was lost but still it is nice just as a midi-music.
This song is really nice with all these polyphonic textures going on. Very good choice adding long reverbs.
I enjoyed it. Alex

Sweet sweet bass line. Interesting pitch bends/glides. REALLY like the sound and groove of the drums. Real jazzy. Synth sound and melody is dope when it comes in. Overall amazing track. Like nothing i heard before really. Fusion for sure. Awesome stuff. You guys should collaborate more if this is the result =]

versatile and progressive fusion tune, just how i like it! i think fusion fits this, could be as well chillout or maybe even folk. sometimes it's just a matter of how conservative or not the subject is i guess :)
i found some exceptional parts in the melodies, also impressed by the sound choices and mix. the first "yeah!" moment was at around 1:20, that silky smooth synth has a lovely sound. right up my alley - think i melted a little inside.
on the off chance that you already know all these things i am about to mention anyway, here my thoughts:
if anything, then the intro could probably use some more attention. even though what follows makes up for those minor imperfections by far, it just doesn't do the rest of the track fully justice. it is nothing major though and should be easy to fix. for one you might get slightly more realistic results by tweaking the velocity of cherry-picked notes and do adjustments to the mapped parameters that are affected by velocity, if necessary. for plucked instruments i think an amp-env attack or sample-start mapping should already be all you need to get some improvements. sometimes a touch of filter cutoff modifier mixed in can't harm either, especially when there is only one sample for the whole 1-127 velocity range as they tend to sound still very plucky and bright even when using an as flat as possible attack envelope.
finally, for quick successively played notes experiment with different velocity slopes. exponential/logarithmic shapes are the way to go for emulating natural expressions. and the last thing: i found the pitch bends at the beginning slightly distracting, maybe they are a tad too accentuated?
fantastic tune guys. hat off to you sirs - and thanks for the download!

GoldenOokami replied 13th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
I appreciate your comment. The way this track was set up is interesting. Rozen and I did this 50-50. We weren't even in the same room, let alone same city. Rozen made the intro which I left untouched. I figured, not only is he keen with his specific style of music, but he is also my guest, I wanted to keep it as Ookami-free as possible. Since his style is untraditional, I'd rather not make it anything else. The acoustic guitar, with it's pitch bend was his original idea, and given that I've never been able to do such...let alone knowing you can, I kept it. Everything else was done as if automatically. He and I worked on this with our ideas, and placed them into the track. This isn't my style, but interestingly enough, it wasn't his either. Thanks for the comment. I'm looking forward to doing more with him. Take care. :)

Ookami this is fabulous !
The guitar intro almost sounds like a spinnet.
The piano and the spacey sounding synth are quite contrasting but I love it.
Totally fresh and unique.
Really enjoyed it man.

Really like this one GoldenOokami....I played bass with a group for a while so I really like the walking bass style myself...contrasts nicely with the guitar lines...I hear a bit of medevil/new age in it (mainly the guitar & key bits)...This definitely is different and the good thing about that is it makes a real interesting listen all the way to the end...the interaction of the instruments if certainly not your standard fare so it might not appeal to everyone but this ol boy enjoyed it in any genre you like......well done guys.....keep on...Ed

GoldenOokami replied 13th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
Thank you Ed. My partner for this track, Rozen, has a specific producing style which made this unique track possible. The intention was medieval-based, but it took off from there. Very proud of this track, and the awesome collaboration.

I have always appreciated that sort of music which tends to be
different and unconventional and this is exactly the case with this interesting piece. In spite of some apparent dissonance issues, this works for me in general. My favourite aspects of this track are piano driven parts which are just great and deserve a 'fav' according to this listener..:)

Thank you very much! This track has elements which I was unsure of how to work with, but at the end, I am proud. My partner, Rozen, has incredible skills in terms of producing with Fl Studio. I have never heard anything to what he's done, and being able to work with him was simply amazing. Very proud of this track. Thanks again!

sweet sounding guitars at the beginning. you could say the bass has a "walking" feel to it that speaks to the jazz influence. I like the slightly bi-tonal sound of the piano against some harmonies in the background. it's a very gentle, colorful work. nice job.

GoldenOokami replied 13th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
Thank you! This track was a different style for me altogether. My partner on this track has a very non-traditional style with Fl Studio, which was very interesting to work with. Thank you again!

Piano or keyboard line was the highlight for me.

A few notes on top of each other that probably shouldn't be. A few dissonant spots.

The quick plucking of the acoustic is neat, though it sounds pretty fake, I still like the line.

Overall I liked it.

By the way, your name backwards is "I'm a kooned log". If this has an meaning to you, good, but I don't get it.

Take care.

I appreciate it! This track was done 50% by Rozen, and 50% by myself. He did the first half initially, and I took on the rest of the track. Majority of the things he put initially, I didn't touch. He and I agreed that we liked the final outcome before putting it on here. His style isn't really traditional, as you can hear from this track. I also heard a lot of off things, but it wasn't what I did, nor what I wanted to fix. If those things I'm not used to are included, and was made by my partner, I kept it in, for that's what gives the track its uniqueness, in my eyes. Thanks for the comment! And also...I never noticed the backwards spelling. That's hilarious. Ookami is Japanese for wolf, and Gold(en) is my favorite color. ;)

Not Jazz as it's a melange of Celtic folk scale and modern minimalism (Philip Glass). But that's just the musical disection. as a listening piece it's just damn fun.

Thanks Cru. Actually I decided to go on with Fusion, since I've gotten different genre preferences. This was really abnormal for me to make in a sense that working with my partner in this track give a new sense of style. If you check out my other tracks, this one, at least to me, sounds the most different.
