| Fullmetal Alchemist - Brothers - 230 sec
ERROR: Yuck you FouTube. Update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTJ_q8FKe_o&fmt=18
Sheet music: http://anime.sebastianwolff.info
Piano improvisation on the song "Brothers" from Fullmetal Alchemist. Yes, I screwed up in the last 20 seconds. Blame my piano. And due to unforeseen circumstances, a Russian choir was unavailable - as was Vic Mignogna, so excuse the lack of vocals.
Although I'd love to take credit for the song, the copyright goes to BONES, Sony/Aniplex, FUNimation Productions, Japanimation, Nana Kitade, Kesenai Tsumi, others...

| | Ozzie's Quest OST [own composition] - 876 sec
My first run at composing.
This was done for a friend and his project for a game design class. I really wanted a SNES feel to it; nothing too advanced (despite remixing the published version with Reason to give it a better feel). It was a really fun project and I hope I can compose more game music in the future. Again, this is my first try at composing, so any critique is encouraged.
Track list:
1. Title Theme
2. Windy Peaks
3. Woodlands
4. Downtown Barricade
5. Frostbite
6. Illusion
7. Ending / Credits
Download mp3 / midi here: http://ozzie.sebastianwolff.info
My deepest thanks to Claude Debussy who helped me compose Frostbite. I'm really not a fan of his work, but his piece "The Snow is Dancing" (No. 4 from Children's Corner) helped set the desolate and completely surreal feel of it.
If you're wondering if you've heard Downtown Barricade before... I used a lot of inspiration from the soundtrack from Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I couldn't for the life of me track down the composer, so, if you composed the music for this game and are reading this, let me know :D EDIT: Tomohito Nishiura is the amazing composer for Professor Layton (and other games)!
Regarding all other songs, I got most of my inspiration from Yoko Shimomura, Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, and from Pixel's game Cave Story. I am still trying to find my own style, with regards to composing and playing, but thanks to these awesome people who inspire me, I can hopefully revise my techniques and become better.

I've always loved this piece. Why? I had to like it, since I got to listen to it so many times while trying to beat all sorts of heartless bosses... </geek>
Anyhow- this is an IMPROV (hence, no sheet music) on Destiny's Force, composed by Yoko Shimomura, released by Square Enix for the game Kingdom Hearts.

| | Passion / Sanctuary [Kingdom Hearts] - 223 sec
The long-awaited (?) piano version of "Passion" or "Sanctuary" from Kingdom Hearts. Since my video camera is broken, I only used a microphone - hence, no moving images. Yes, I really am playing it.
I do not own this song nor any part of it. © Utada Hikaru and Square Enix
Thanks to Arnold Morrison, whose arrangement I used as a reference; and of course thank you to Utada Hikaru for composing it :)

A song I recorded over a year ago for a Holiday CD. It's my favorite Christmas song, so I did my own improvisation on the melody and harmonics. It's also known as Christmas Bells, Ukrainian Bell Carol, Kolyadka Dzvonyk, etc...

| | Pirates of the Caribbean Medley - 258 sec
Yes, I like medleys.
This is a smallish medley featuring piano arrangements from my current favorite orchestral scores, Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes, I did make a slight edit. A single wrong note ruined the entire piece, and that just didn't work out for me. The songs, in order:
• Davey Jones
• The Medallion Calls (variation)
• Hoist The Colours

| | Improv #3 - 352 sec
This is my third (recorded) improv session, since it's been a while since the last one. Once again, I'm not too happy with the outcome; too muddy in many regards, slurred chords, odd harmonics, but generally decent and good enough for youtube. I listened to Tim Burton and his wondrous music before (Nightmare Before Christmas), so that perhaps gave me some inspiration towards abstract notes and chords.

| | Improv #4 "Quest for the Truth" - 326 sec
Another improvisation, after listening endlessly to Final Fantasy songs. This one has slightly less oomph than the last one, but I still like it since it's cleaner.
I finally decided to title my improvisations, starting with this one. "Quest for the Truth" somehow fit. I have no idea how to explain, it just fit.
After listening to the recording, I noticed that I brought back the melody from previous songs and the motif from Fire and Ice (a student film for which I composed the soundtrack). I really like how this one came out.
Enjoy,

| | Bounty Hunter [Advent Rising] - 147 sec
I've always wanted to play this. Bounty Hunter was written for full orchestra; about 58 instruments and a 60+ member choir. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was about 137 pieces short and had to compress Tallarico's beautiful composition into a piano solo. This is an arrangement by ear. I do not have sheet music, but official arrangements are on sale. Buy them, they are excellent.

| | Cave Story medley - 1428 sec
SHEET MUSIC and MP3: http://cavestory.sebastianwolff.info
Hello overly long 24-minute medley. Wow, I really didn't expect this. Thanks for watching all of it - the best parts are the battle themes near the end!
A while ago, I got introduced to Cave Story - by the same person who first posted piano versions ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG3-kejyyh8 ). If you've never heard of Cave Story, you need to invest a few hours and play it right now. Download it for free here: http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/
After playing the game for countless hours, I decided to arrange the entire soundtrack (36 tracks, excluding bonus tracks) for piano solo - and some pieces for 4-handed piano. All sheets are available for free: http://cavestory.sebastianwolff.info
Pardon the rushing, pardon the over-pedaling. Pardon the slaughtering of various melodies and harmonics. Pardon me if I've left out your favorite piece - the medley is long enough already and with 26 of 36 songs, I feel I've done the soundtrack justice.

A piano-solo variation / improvisation on "Chocolate Rain" by Tay Zonday. I couldn't think of a more creative title, so meh. Chocolate Rain © Tay Zonday.

| | Stampede [The Lion King] - 123 sec
Happy New Year y'all! I return with a camera and recorded music!
This is "Stampede" ("...To Die For" in some releases) from The Lion King, the best Disney movie. (This is a proven fact.) After buying every Lion King sheet music book available, I was disappointed that none had the best and most dramatic song in the whole trilogy of The Lion King.
I'm not happy with this version yet, as it is a bit sloppy and rushed. If I get around to actually writing sheet music, I will upload another version. But so far, this is just an arrangement by ear, there IS NO SHEET MUSIC. DO NOT ASK.

| | Improv #5 "Thunderstorm" - 290 sec
I'm still alive! [t'was a triumph, great success...]
I recorded this about a month ago - sorry, no video. I only had a microphone on me, and I'm still trying to find a video camera for recording.
This improv turned out a bit more harmonious than I expected, so here you are. It's primarily an experiment; there are "mistakes," if you see misplaced harmonies and very intentional accidentals as such. When I improvise, I tend to imagine a scene, like for a film, then fit the music to the mood of the scene. Here I was imagining a storm, so hence the title.
No sheet music!
