So I'm procrastinating, and I figured, you could procrastinate with me.
Did you know, even if you don't know how to play piano, if you stick to just the white keys and poke around at anything, it will still sound relatively good, because you're just staying in C Major the whole time.
And if you swap and play on just the black keys (fun this time of the year for dramatic autumn music), it will also generally sound good, because it's pentatonic scale time.
Have fun plunking around on the virtual piano, even if you've never played music before.
I have been listening to this SO much - I wish I'd been able to get a clean cover together sooner, but this is in e major - a scale I almost never play in, and I had a really hard time getting a clean take, especially in the improv section. But I practiced a bit and feel pretty good about this take, and I'm much more comfortable in this scale now!
an average day at AR House - me (left) working with Adriana Vecchioli (right) on an augmented reality jungle, while a musician plays piano using an AR overlay app in the background
some people binge-drink after a loss. i have played over 30 hours of the sims 4 in less than a week (while working full-time) because whenever i stop i remember all my problems instead of focusing on this adorable family of four whose virtual dreams and relationships i care about so deeply and who i have watched blossom. we all cope in different ways.
Time for the big one, The Mind Electric as a Virtual Piano sheet! This is definitely one of my favorites and I'm super happy to share it with the world! :)
For the best experience I recommend this Roblox game or alternatively this browser version.
