Fringe Theme Intro on piano, played by Torley

My obsessions tend to get the better of me. I hardly watch TV, but Fringe stands out for a couple reasons: the zany Dr. Walter Bishop and the theme music. The former has irrepressible cravings for food, the latter is undeniably catchy. Even if Olivia Dunham is meant to be the "main character", the show doesn't work without Bishop's far-flung expertise and polarized reactions.
Fringe's theme is composed by the multitalented J.J. Abrams, and I listened to it so much that I was compelled to learn it on the piano and play it for you. Thanx to No1hotdogguy for helping me figure out, so I could take sheer liberties to blend it with X-Files. (Which Fringe has inevitably drawn comparisons to.) There's also some Rachmaninoff influence because I've been listening to Matt Bellamy's solos lately. The Fringe theme is quite simple and reminiscent of Philip Glass, but fits the opening titles gloriously as a lovely work!
Suitably, I made the video look lo-fi, as if it was a venture into madness performed in a 1960s university lab… not unlike Walter's. Thanx to NewBlue Film Pro for the gritty retro look, and I also used a touch of iZotope Vinyl to scrunge up the audio, tho not much — I wanted the clarity of the piano tones to shine through. I filmed this performance with a refurbished Canon SD1100 IS, a fine bargain. It pays to be resourceful, especially if you're conducting experiments.

I used to come back and watch this just about once a day years ago. I'm glad I was able to find them again to come back and re-experience the feelings of a simpler time.
HEY HEY! Yeah, I JUST uploaded an MP3 of the Fringe Theme yesterday including music from "The Equation"! It's a different performance than this but hope you like. My main controller is M-Audio's KeyStation 88ES and I like it a lot. I have to pair it with the Korg nanoKONTROL (or MK-249C you see above) for more synthy stuff that needs knobs/sliders, but it's the ONLY affordable 88-key, lightweight (semi-weighted) one I could find. I appreciate your comments, THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!!!!
still coming back to listen to this, if it’s at all possible i’m begging you to put this masterpiece on spotify
AMAZING! absolutely LOVE the piano and the show!

Hey dude! Really good! I've been playing for years, and loved listening to you play and talk about it. Love FRINGE also! Keep it up:)
Awesome abilities there. Enjoyed listening to your commentary as well as the music. Makes me wish I had a piano and some skill :)
I love fringe!!! thanks
Bought up your album the other day Torley and am just listening to it now (loving it so far), Fringe is one of my fiance's and my favourite shows as well. The father-son dynamic between Walter and Peter is sweet, and the way Astrid takes care of him is lovely. Obvious X-files inspiration at 3 minutes (in a different key). Keep em comin.
Best version i ever listen
Amazing!
you're amazing man!
i love your faces you make when you play!haha!nice playing!
most enjoyable - thank you for your wonderful post! :-)
how long ive been waiting for them :L
Torley, great piano play as usually, but I sure hope you added this wonderfull song in the list of music you offer, cuz i sure love to hear it completely :D
Damn, What a blast from the past. Much love Torley, I remember downloading your star wars techno mix on Kazaa back in the 512kb broadband days. Hope you are doing well.
You are awesome. Love it
i love the piano!!!
Awesome!
YOU, SIR, are *brilliant*!!
Love the X-files addition!
you sir, are awesome
That's what it is! Excellent observation!
I'm so happy I finally learned how to play this! xD Very beautifully done~
Torley I like your commentary very much. Walter Bishop is also my favorite character, and so very well portrayed by John Noble. With the wide range of feelings in the part Noble has done a super job. Love the theme and if it was created by JJ Abrams, wow! I didn't realize he had such music talent.
you are awasome!!! awosome!!
Love it! I hope i had a piano teacher just like you!
you are truly obsessed i used to be as obsessed as you, just not nearly as good at piano. you are awesome i think i might have shat myself
One word. Epic
Wauw , you make it look so easy. kudos dude.
super cool!
Wow, I'm listening to the mp3 from your website right now... Absolutely amazing. Great job! And I swear the visualization in my WMP just did the Umbrella Corp logo, which was kind of cool, lol. :D
Loved the X-files crossover, that was brilliant!
You're a genius, Torley!
I love the X-Files crossover callback. The original theme is surprisingly simple, but this is like a field of flowers grown from that single seed. Well done.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow man, you got some talent! Keep it up.
This was just too beautiful.. I had tears in my eyes [This is actually one of my favourite shows ever, but I watch over 50 different ones... =P]
To those being unkind, I really have to believe that the value in this video is his exposition. Making it fun. Exploring the textures and styles. Exposing the simple elements that build a lovely piece. Showing how they fit and work together and some of maybe the 'why' the composer chose to do certain things. If you just want the music, support the artist and buy the soundtrack. Otherwise, why not be kind?
I love you Torley.
awesome!
love the video the piano music was sooooothing hehehe. your awesome at the piano!
YOUR THE BEST!!!!
Good enthusiasm there. Good video.
dude, you rock.
i found the commentary quite enjoyable indeed.my walter bishop contribution :)
super awesome. thanks for that : )
@ Torley you are one crazy dude... but I think you're crazy awesome!
I watched this last year, and found it again. You play the piano BEAUTIFULLY! Excellent job! I just wish they would release the sheet music for this theme AND the music from "The Equation"! Again, EXCELLENT interpretation!
Very sensitive !!! Aww i feel nostalgic:)
Very Nice!
I've learnt more from this 7 minute video than from my Music sub at school. Who is meant to be teaching us about Viva Voce's. The talking about Fringe was also very enjoyable. 5 stars.
That's awesome!!! Nice job, I want to learn how to play this to. :) Only three more episodes of Fringe left. I'm sad it's leaving, I hear a movie down the road is not out of the question though. Thanks again Torley.
You're a genius! Teach me your ways!!
this very good and so is fringe
nice work.. really nice work :)
Wauw! Amazing!!
Great job! In fact, I think your playing sounds better than the actual Fringe opening music. The piano part in the show's opening sounds very undynamic and robotic.
Great improvisation. You could probably put to-gather a whole piece that would sound fantastic.
Very Cool...Torley
That was fu*king amazing
