Choice Piano Cuts, a Super Meat Boy piano tribute album

by Jordan Mallory on Jan 4th 2012 3:00AM

Remember Brent Kennedy, the guy who created those wonderful piano arrangements of the Super Meat Boy soundtrack early last year? Well, it looks like we weren't the only people impressed by his work: Super Meat Boy's composer, Danny Baranowsky, has been working with Kennedy for nearly a year, and the two have recently released the fruits of their labors on Baranowsky's Bandcamp profile.

Super Meat Boy! - Choice Piano Cuts is a $4.99 (or more, if you're feeling generous) collection of 10 tracks from the SMB soundtrack, composed by Baranowsky and arranged/performed by Kennedy. The purchase also includes a PDF of the Kennedy's sheet music for the entire album, which in itself is well worth the price of admission for the musically inclined out there.

The soundtrack's original arrangements are great and everything, don't get us wrong, but there's a deeper level to Baranowsky's skill as a composer that's exceptionally brought to life by Kennedy's mastery of the ivory keys. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Great game, great music, great piano compositions!

On another note, does the picture shown here remind anyone else of the Iron Maiden piano tribute album cover?

Sweet! I love the music of this game. I bought the deluxe soundtrack a while back that has a bunch of remixes on the second disc. There's some really catchy stuff on there.

@cantwait2bhome Yeah, I bought the signed deluxe soundtrack and I love it. Danny Baranowsky is one of my favourite video game music composers, up there with Koji Kondo, Alexander Brandon and Nobuo Uematsu. He creates soundtracks that are closer to NES-era awesomeness than anyone else seems to be able to do.

His best work is yet to come IMHO, and I can't wait.
