A Piano Medley of 9 More JoCo Songs*

Posted by Jarrett on January 6th, 2010

(*plus one Paul and Storm song)
It’s been more than a year since I posted the original JoCo medley. I was a little surprised by the response I got the first time around. The people really love their Coulton.
Here are the very special tracks that made the cut this time around:
Shop Vac (Intro), Space [...]

As always, right-click here to download the mp3. Of you can download just the piano track by itself.
Here’s a MIDI file that I made while working out the arrangement. This isn’t quite the same as the performance in the video, but the data might be useful to someone.

A Little Christmas Music

Posted by Jarrett on December 25th, 2008

I didn’t bother to hook up a proper mic, so the sound is a little low-fi.

Merry Christmas!

I made a cover of Still Alive about a year ago and put it on YouTube. It’s gotten over 150,000 views, which isn’t too shabby, I think. Here’s the original description:
So, here’s a little cover arrangement I made of “Still Alive”, the ending credits song from the excellent video game Portal.

Me and the Band

Posted by Jarrett on December 4th, 2008

The crazy kids on the Jonathan Coulton forums started a virtual band called The Mandelbrot Set. They pick a JoCo song to cover, and everyone who wants to participate puts their track on a big pile of files on the web.
The song chosen for their first project was Re: Your Brains, a song I actually included [...]

A Piano Medley of 13 JoCo Songs

Posted by Jarrett on November 23rd, 2008

This is an ad lib piano solo of a bunch of Jonathan Coulton songs.
I’d never heard of this guy until about a year ago. I only discovered this music after playing Portal for the first time. JoCo (as we fans call him) wrote the song that plays during the end credits. I was instantly hooked. [...]
