Once you learn that Alvin Row's basically all sharp and flat octaves you can bang out some sweet jamming

Glad yall appreciate!

I'd do more but I can't think of any other animal collective songs with real piano parts...but I'm open to requests.

Someday I'll Grow To Be As Tall As The Giant has a decent piano part that kinda just loops
Two Sails has piano too, only seems like a few chords repeating the entire song
Feels has some nice piano parts, but they're kinda buried in the mix sometimes

ON IT.

Feels is pretty hard due to how far away the piano is most of the time, on top of that it's been detuned too...I'll try Loch Raven or something after i do Giant.

Also Two Sails is literally just octave Bb's the whole time. That's all you really need, it'll be practically impossible to write out due to how wobbly the time is.

It's a shame they never used the piano like they did in Spirit since that record, they came up with amazing stuff.

Thanks a lot for doing Penny Dreadfuls! I already had Alvin Row and the transcription is perfect so thanks for this one too!

Edit: It always sounds as if there were more notes around measure 15...

That bar was hard for me to decide what to write, there's some synth stuff with similar timbre and in the same range so it's really hard to tell what's being played on the piano right there. I actually did the transcription while I was at work with no piano so I'll try to dick around with that bar at home this week, I'm not completely satisfied with it either.

But is it a synth? I've always thought it's reversed/backwards piano. At least the one on the background. There's a couple notes in that measure that sound like reversed piano too. All done with a tascam reel to reel!

Ah, didn't know what equipment he was using. The reverse piano is still hard to tease apart from the forward piano due to how similar they sound. I'll try again next time I have a real slow day at work. I'm not at a piano right now to tell you exact notes but you can try experimenting with adding more notes from a Bb Maj chord towards the end of the bar to fill it out a little more.

Hoping to finish Giant this week, bros.

I only wrote one loop on the page since it just repeats a bunch of times, also the last time as he fades out he starts removing notes from the last phrase. I'll write out the last minute if someone really wants me to, but I don't think it should be that hard to figure out on your own.
