In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Black Midi | Pianist Reacts

The huge keysmashes sound fine in the context of the song because they're basically being used as percussion

I love how he can pick it up and play it

This piece made the art of black midis known i think

Black midi composers tend to put in a lot of redundant and very quiet notes to get the note count up. They aren't really meant to be performable by humans unless they're simplified, although compound sounds are generally totally impossible (this is where they mess with the waveforms by stacking notes extremely close together). People put a lot of focus into adding visuals and either piling things in until it lags with powerful graphics/audio hardware, or greatly slows down the render time, but it's still important to remember it's a musical genre, and it's good to focus on the piece sounding good and using the notes to help add auditory details and quality. Rush E 2 and a couple of Touhou tracks uploaded early on by TheBrowntown21 seem to do this fairly well.

This is a very interesting video, it was cool how you stopped at each section as the midi got more impossible and explain it. It's always nice too see someone how actually knows what they're talking about, and not just some random kid saying "just roll on the piano to play this!!"

this is probably my favorite piano version of In The Hall of The Mountain King

I'm honestly surprised that midi has gone on this long, some daft little thing I made when I was 15 haha, never when I made it did I think it would get the reaction it did. Back into hiding now, great video :)

3:44 I think the whole population would have to play this part 5:21 they're would need to be 1 million more people in the population playing that piano to actually make it sound exactly the same.

Pianist: how much difficult you want to make it ? Sir spork: yes

Song: *INTENSIFIES TO THE MOON AND BEYOND* Melody: *quite literally the same*

Simply piano ads be like :

I love it how he noticed how it sounds very different to what the notes are showing

Imagine being at a school talent show, and someone plays this

This is MADNESS!!!

@3:44 I don't know if the composer did it on purpose or "visualized" it mentally, but the drawings that certain parts give are impressive!

Reminds me of Red Dwarf, where Holly was so bored at the prison and invented another key on the keyboard and mentioned that piano will be as long as crosswalk. Becuse this would need so many people and a BIG piano.

every single time when it goes to on that part I keep on thinking that I'm hereing Ambush sounds

Voiceplay is an acapella group known as the Theater Kids because they love to dress up in their videos. They are also very comical but keep true to the music but putting their own spin on the videos. They recently released a video of this. Dressing up as trolls around a cauldron. I would love for you to react to it beings you reached to this. Great reaction btw.

Please react to Voice Plays cover of In The Hall Of the Mountain King. They are a very theatrical acapella group & this arrangement of theirs is so different from anything you will ever hear. They are a total package. They are their own production company & everything you see is all them.

Grieg once said I payed for the whole and i am going to use the whole piano and this person showed it
