Another Side is just basically a synthesized version of Organization XIII, Destati, and The 13th Dilemma. If you knew how most of those go you could probably piece it together yourseld.

Hey Josh.
I have checked out some of your music, and it looks pretty good! =D
I think I might try to play some as soon as I can get my printer working. But keep up the good work!

Forte,

Hey thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my work. I hope your printer is working so that you can play them .

UPDATE!

I'm sorry everyone for not updating this thread in a long time. I've just been having a really busy life at the moment. This project will be finished this year. Anyways, I said I had an update and that is the sheet music to Another Side.

Also...

Keep an eye out for pdf versions of all my KH sheet music on the main site... They should be up very soon !

[Eternal_Light]

[Josh_1]

I will be updating again soon with a new arrangement, so keep your eyes peeled .

Hey Josh,
I'm a great fan of the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collection. You are doing a great job with it! I've played Dearly Beloved, Destiny Islands, Hikari and Scherzo di Notte and I'm now practising Another Side. Would be great if you could complete the other arrangements soon!

[Josh_1]

Thank you Sholted! I will work with all haste ! The next arrangement will be of Home of the Dragons, but it's more of a softer rendition. It's almost complete so it should be up this month. Stay tuned! Oh by the way...welcome to Squaresound !

Home of Dragons from KH 2 ? That's great. I can't wait to listen it.
Anyway I'm truly amazed on how you compose Hikari - Simple and clean, especially at the bridge to the reff part, which the music kinda pacing up. can you give me any tips about how you arrange ? I'll look forward for your next arrangement. See you.

Arif Eka,

Welcome to the forums ! Thank you for your kind words. As for tips in arranging... Always be yourself in music. Never try to be like others, try your best to stick out of the crowd. And the most important thing is to have fun and hand your heart to everything you write. When I arrange (especially in the case of the KH project), is I listen to the original a couple of times to remember the key elements that I must include in my arrangement. From there I will come up with an original introduction, new transitions, my own original sections, etc. Over the years, I've been refining my setup as far as my arrangement style and structure. I used to believe that arranging difficult music was the best, but now I try to use a balance of complex and simple rhythms. It simply isn't enough to write the most complex piece you can, otherwise one might break someone's fingers :P! Anyways, it is nice to see new faces around Squaresound and I hope you enjoy being apart of our community. I've never met a more respectful group of people than the members of this forum. Look forward to hearing your arrangements. Best of luck to you .

In other news,

At long last I am back to work and have a brand new sample! I have decided to cut Home of the Dragons and replace it with Sinister Sundown. Here is a short sample, but I am really feeling good about this one so I should have plenty more very soon. Comments are most welcome!

Very nice Can not wait for the sheet music when this piece is finished.
