I like when the music gets harder he has to focus on the keyboard and stop staring into my soul.

EDIT: Go away.

Hearing MIDI music converted onto an actual piano really helps you to appreciate the artistry of video game sound design.

[hasnat]

I have never felt so intimidated by someone playing a piano.

[garykozdrajr.]

So confirmed, Vinheteiro prefers Sonic over all other games to play music from.

[rpgspree]

It's cool to see game music getting the respect it deserves. Many truly wonderful compositions in their own right. Your piano renditions were a real delight. :D

[mattwells]

Plays GTA San Andreas theme:

Mission passed!
Respect +

[JonnyCrabb]

Look at this guy, staring at the camera like a boss, like "yeah, I can play these complicated tunes without even looking at the keyboard!"

[belovedconsole]

That rendition of the original Sonic, that interpretation, is golden.

[gilmour]

The Tristram theme from Diablo brings back a lot of memories and sounds incredible on piano

[hasmize]

10 minutes of my life


WELL SPENT

[mattiefee]

You can tell the way he killed those Sonic songs, that was his game in the day!

[Whatmen]

When i feel sad, i watch a video from this guy




It makes me happy

[burkuschgoldberg]

That's really the kool thing about you as a musician that you are so broad in what genres and styles you can perform on the piano. Baroque, Vienese classicism, romance epoque, salon music, cartoon and movie themes and now even gaming music. Love it

[LoZTwilight]

that moment when you troll everyone and play gymnopedie instead of CALM or SWEDEN from minecraft XD classic mate.

[wavechild]

When the “Minecraft” music is just Gymnopede

[scotty]

I love you bro! You make my day every day! USAF Veteran here! LOVE IT!
