All Main Themes-God of War 2018

I'm really happy with this selection, this video is totally a story-telling piano cover. We go from The Stranger all the way to Ragnarok Trailer Music haha.

It is a waste that I don't play Main Theme, but somehow I don't really feel into it. GoW Ragnarok Main Theme is way better, tho it is the same theme but I believe it is better to save this attempt for GoW Ragnarok.

Ω About the arrangement:

I must say this is the most ambitious video I've ever made. Though it doesn't take much time comparing to X vs Zero and Assassin's Creed Medley that I'm making, this one scores a big milestone in my channel: 10-min video!

Deliverance - At first I didn't choose this piece since there are people doing it but they don't make it quite exactly so I decided to put this in. A full version would be too long so I came up with an idea: Piano Medley which combines all important themes as well as reviews the whole Story.

I'm really proud of 0:42 - 1:16 I can manipulate the Melody a lot. You can see it moves from the lowest bassline to the highest register. Express through many forms: polyphony, arpeggio, ... All of the methods that I can think of are well used in this section.

Actually most of these themes are extracted from OST: Salvation - which plays in the cutscene where Kratos kills Baldur. I found that those variations are really wayy better than it originally is:

Witch of the Woods - I must admit that this is the most chilling song I ever played. You can really go free in tempo in this piece, normally it'd be 59. My advice is just being emotional here, be as dramatic as possible.

Memories of Mother - I really love the bassline movement here, it's fucking awesome. For the first time my upright piano sounds better than the grand Fazioli ahaha (I used Mute pedal, if you notice!) There's actually a Main theme injected at the end but I wouldn't call it a proper cover of Main Theme. Let's save it for next uploads !

Echoes of Old Life - Damn, turns out this theme really plays out Kratos. It depicts the mood of the Main Theme in its very own way. It is indeed a really emotional so I decided to put the cutscene to play along, in case you don't know what the hell I'm playing.

Ragnarok Trailer Music - Well, I'm just introduce the Sequel. I think I will comeback with this theme later on GoW Ragnarok Project. I think I'd play for 5 videos for this game since I've played anything at the same time the game releases.
