aLIEz - Aldnoah.Zero ED2 [Piano]

Here is my piano cover of aLIEz, the second ending song of Aldnoah.Zero, which aired last summer 2014.
My arrangement for aLIEz is the spiritual successor of my Bios (Guilty crown) arrangement I did years ago, because it features a lot of heavy left hand jumps and it's from the same composer, Hiroyuki Sawano, known for composing the soundtrack of Kill la Kill, Guilty Crown and Shingeki no Kyojin.

The very first thing I noticed while listening to aLIEz is the ever-present drumset, constantly playing an off-beat rhythm throughout the entire piece. That's why I tried to imitate the "off-beat" in the left hand as well by constantly playing a specific off-beat rhythm, completely independent of the right hand. There are multiple polyrhythmic passages in this arrangement, and I recommend you to learn the piece with a metronome first, to get the correct rhythm on both hands. Also, a good left hand / right hand coordination is very useful here to play this arrangement properly.

Similar to my previous piano arrangements of Hiroyuki Sawano's compositions (blumenkranz - Kill la Kill OST, Bios - Guilty Crown OST, Attack on Titan OST), you can go ALL out with the volume this time. Especially the section starting at 2:53 should be played in the most convincing forte fortissimo ever, the whole piano should be shaking at this point, and every listener should trembling with awe.

This whole piece is essentially a rhythm etude to train the coordination of both of your hands. Plus it features many guitar riffs. And drums. Lots of drums.

My next project is a smaller project I finished long time ago, and it's the first Opening of the Pokemon TV anime series - GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! That's right everyone, it's THAT song, which you were singing along when you were a child. (including me). It's only TV-sized though, but I have finished the sheet years ago without ever uploading a video of it.
I think it's about time to give this almost-forgotten arrangement of mine a proper introduction.

Well then, Pokemon OP will be uploaded on this Saturday!

See you next time!
