Player Piano Creates and Performs a Series of Custom Arrangements for Video Game Theme Songs Without Preparation
Composer and pianist Sonya Belousova, with the help of filmmaker Tom Grey, creates and performs a series of custom arrangements for video game theme songs without preparation in a video by Player Piano. The video was created specifically as part of their current Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
