It’s been ages since I found something that suited my playstyle this well!
I started watching Trigun Stampede a few days ago, and the moment I heard the villain pianist’s theme I knew it was written for me specifically. I saw it called “Interstellar OST but anime” and honestly, it’s not far off! It’s in A minor, and the harmony and overall vibe is similar in places, and both make for great piano arrangements.
I transcribed this one in one sitting yesterday, and I learned to play it and recorded it in the span of 24 hours LOL, you could say I got possessed for a day. I swear, it’s so much fun though. It plays to all my strengths! I love love love those left-hand octaves playing the melody while the right hand has all those 16th notes, the hand crossings, the triplet melody against the 16th note ostinato, man I just love the whole thing.
And as I listened to it, I realized it reminded me a bit of another OST in style, and I was right – Tatsuya Kato who composed the music also worked on the OST for Revue Starlight along with some others, which I covered so much of back in the day (almost 5 years ago?!)
Side note: Through this entire recording my doggo was asleep, splayed out on the carpet, right next to my foot. Sadly, it turned out to be just out of frame this time 😔
I have the sheet music written down, I’ll post it in the comments soon!
See you next piece~

You weren't kidding about this song fitting your style. I know the feeling well of being "possessed" when you just resonate with something so well you go past your limits and creativity you've never thought you had. Great upload.
the madlad did it!!
2:12 is really nice and epic page turn
What an incredible arrangement, you can really feel the resonance between you and the piece! Also seems YouTube was being awfully quiet about your uploads, got a bit to catch up with~
CONGRATULATION ! A perfect cover for a perfect soundtrack
Fantastic cover! This sounds amazing, thank you so much for creating and linking the sheet music too ^_^

Am I looping this over the actual OST? You bet I am!
Wonderful performance ❤
White hoodie and blonde hair, are we sure that's not Millions Knives himself?
this song makes me want to get a piano and learn to play it
Could you do a video tutorial by chance?
HOLY MOLY! EPIC WORK!
you know, with your hair being so light and you wearing the white hoodie, it's a bit like a knives closet-cosplay too!
Long have I waited for someone to do a cover of Knives’s piano. YOU ARE SUPERB. Wonderful performance!
Ohhh I just love this OST so much, it grasps so well the tumultuous state of Nai's psyche, ranging from soft and sad to agressive and monumental. And the way you move! And the way you turn the iPad pages so quickly is cute hehe it looks like you really enjoy playing it :3
