The Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd - Piano Cover

Музыка

This is my piano cover of "The Great Gig in the Sky", track #5 from Pink Floyd's 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon". Usually in my covers I distill all the parts into a solo piano arrangement. For this one, I decided to just play the iconic piano part by itself. Special thanks to Matt Griffo for engineering, recording, and producing the audio and video.
I also have a separate cover of the same song on KZread, in which I use five keyboards to stand in for bass guitar, Hammond organ, piano, slide guitar, and vocals.
This is part of a project in which I'm covering the entire album. I'm now halfway through!
The sheet music I write is approximate and full of notations only I would understand, so I do not share it. However, I use a camera angle designed to maximize your chances of being able to see what I'm playing.

    It's weird....when you are listening to this piano part, your brain automatically fills in all the other missing parts. It's like listening to this off the album, but you have to keep reminding yourself that's it's just the piano portion....
