  • My Chiptune arrangement and live performance of Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 16.

    I created a shorter version of this arrangement last year (you might remember that video). Ever since then I've been planning to make a full version, and now that I'm working on a Chiptune album (to be released soon) I had the perfect reason to finally finish it. Hope you enjoy!
    The take in this video is the very first I played after turning on the camera. It's not perfect, there are a few wrong notes here and there but I didn't feel like doing 10 more takes to try and get a perfect one (it's quite fatiguing and tricky to play on a mini-keyboard). You'll have to forgive me. :)
    Composed by Frédéric Chopin.
    Arranged and performed by Gil Assayas (GLASYS).

    I love how committed you are to being authentic. You don't rely on tricks or editing to hide mistakes. You show the MIDI on the laptop as you're playing it in. Your playing is so accurate but you still keep a couple of small, natural imperfections in there. It's all _real._ Your dedication to craft is 👌 -Andrew

      Andrew thanks so much my dude! I used to do lots of takes of my performances trying to get the “perfect” one, sometimes to the point where I’d push my body past it’s limits. honestly I got sick of that so I stopped worrying about a few wrong notes here and there. We’re only human :)

    Your movement is so fluid, I'm curious if you could possibly play one of my favorite fast pieces.
    CPE Bach - Solfeggietto
    You can use all sorts of synth patches and it sounds incredible.
    I spent a few months learning this when I was a novice and I LOVE the way it sounds. I'll bet you will KILL it.
    I love you, and you are in inspiration.
