pizza and piano...

So I had another potluck dinner at our place again.  Make Your Own Pizza was the theme.  It was the 2nd pizza-type potluck I've held here.  Made the same type of dough and the same sauce.  Guests brought toppings.  They were probably some of the healthiest pizzas I've ever seen made.  lol.  Watched Spirited Away then started Howl's Moving Castle but we didn't get too far with that movie since it was getting late.  Good times all 'round though.  Especially since it turned into a pizza/birthday party for one of the guests.  They brought a tiramisu cake with them.  Yumm!!  I'll definitely need to work all that unhealthiness off today!  X3

Got more recordings for you, listeners!

This first one is called Sad Romance from the Over the Green Fields soundtrack.  I'm guessing it's a Vietnamese drama or a movie.  I don't really quite know how I stumbled upon this one.  It might have had to do with the title "Sad Romance".  I've found that songs with the same title are generally nice to listen to.  And this one was.  Found this arrangement on fiftyvinh's channel. I played the shortened version of this.




This one's from an anime I watched last year with a friend.  Trinity Blood.  Definitely an interesting anime. Yes...vampires AGAIN  -.-  I'm not going to explain myself other than I am not a Twilighter.  I really liked the ending song and I got this arrangement from Josh's site.  Even though I watched this sometime before the summer, it somehow reminds me of winter.  Odd how that is.




Fate/Zero.  I liked Fate/Stay Night but this new one..not so much.  It was too slow for my liking.  I did like the opening song though.  lol.  I like a lot of songs by Lisa actually as well as songs that have beautiful orchestral openings.  Got this arrangement from Animenz.  I do apologize for basically trashing the second half of this song.  I'll have to practice it more and maybe re-record it. This is also the TV edit version.




This is the theme from the trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.  One of my friends asked if I could play something from Deus Ex then linked me to the youtube video for the trailer.  It reminded me of the theme "Surface of the Sun" that was featured in the movie Sunshine and season 1 of The Walking Dead.  Found the sheets for it somewhere on youtube and this arrangement is by Mitchell Ormann.




Last, but not least, Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi.  Someone asked if I had heard of this composer.  I had not.  So he linked me to this song that he thought sounded nice and asked if I could play it.  It was a very nice sounding song and I found the sheets..somewhere.  I know I google searched it and found it.  They're scans from the piano book, I'm guessing.  Got a few others by him as well - all very similar but also very soothing and nice to play.




Thanks to all those who have been commenting on my youtube videos!  And thanks to all you listeners who have been viewing my recordings.  Much appreciated!  ^^
