one of those 'wow' moments.

there're so many kinds of creative minds in this world, one of them is the musically creative ones. ThePianoGuys who are widely known in the YouTube community creates beautiful song covers with the piano and cello. I subscribed to them since the first 10 seconds of the first video i saw of them. hahaha. And their latest video involved 5 guys playing 1 piano altogether! it's really one of those 'wow' moments.


Though you can't really say it's a completely original idea to have more than 2 people playing on one instrument at the same time, the composition and arrangement of the song cover is amazing enough to bring a smile to my face. If sounds can come from pressing the piano keys, then sounds can definitely come from plucking the piano strings itself! I once had this curious thought when I was little too. But never had a chance (and courage!) to try it for real. Watching this video of them really making music out of plucking the piano strings impressed me so much and made me flashback to the little naive me again. It is possible. :)

I've played in a full band and sang in a choir team before so I know it's really not an easy task to work with people to make the song sound just nice. Even if it's just a small team of 3. It's really the entire package, from the improvisation of the song to the practices to the real video recording. This's a kind of creative art where it is not possible if one person is missing. Where the team members rely on each other, trusting that each other will play on beat and in tune.

Okayyy, maybe i've not talked much about their creative skills in this post, but I'm more inspired by the way they worked together so passionately. Just look at the smiles and enjoyment on their faces! The true joy of creating art. This is what it's all about! :D
