Just came back from lunch. What the fuck is going on?

Midna's Lament, one of the highlights for me today:

His improvised take on the song blew me away, especially being there to see it live.

 

[Jenov]

Damn, they're already censoring parts of his stuff:

Audio for portions of this video has been muted as it appears to contain copyrighted content owned or controlled by a third party.

 

[CRS]

That's how Twitch is. Past broadcasts of streams get muted if they play copyrighted material. No one is immune to this.

I'm almost certain he'll put certain parts of the stream on his Youtube anyways..

Gg twitch, let the man play...

 

[Austriacus]

Chances are its not getting muted because of his arrangements but because he plays the original songs first before playing them himself.

I think he is safe if the songs are played for less than 30 seconds

 

[kvk1]

I think what's getting censored is the original clips they play for him to learn the song before he does his own rendition.

If they can make sure those don't get picked up on stream it'll be fine.

There is no way his own live piano performances can be muted on the VODs. To the best of my knowledge that's not how the automated system works.

Edit: Beaten, yep. ^

Makes more sense...

This gave me chills.

 

[belushy]

Someone said last night he did a To The Moon(the game) song but I don't see it in the VOD list in the OP

Its possible the poster was mistaken.

Also chances are since that is a reddit post its not entirely complete

Yeah 100% people have most of the stream recorded anyways. Someone in his family just needs to set up a recording/edit PC so he can upload clips to YouTube.

 

[Lonestar]

This sounds familiar, didn't catch the name

 

[Compsiox]

Whats going on right now? Only 3k views?

 

[Austriacus]

Stream has ended, this is a playlist, as in a past broadcast being streamed again

 

[Compsiox]

Why did it end? If he had to take an extended break or hes done tonight thats cool with me. Just wondering.

 

[Lonestar]

heh, had been busy and away from the computer, failed to see the stream had ended.

He had stuff to do. Someone said he would be back later. We'll see.

 

[CRS]

He also streamed for 12 hours yesterday so I'm not surprised. Dude needed a break.

 

[xkramz]

om,g that undertale he crushed that shit!!!

 

[Nickle]

I couldn't watch, how many viewers was he getting today?

 

[CitizenCope]

I couldn't watch, how many viewers was he getting today?

22,000 when I was on.

 

[kvk1]

20-25K.

That's excellent, I'm glad it's not just a one time thing.

 

[kvk1]

Yeah, definitely. I posted this earlier today:

It's just such a good "background" stream for when you're doing stuff.

The music is amazing, the man is great and affable entertainer during the downtime, the chat is hilariously insane if you want to pop in and take a look...it's a perfect storm of internet goodness.

 

[Miles X]

Awesome guy!

What are the donations for?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

What caused his explosion of viewership over the past couple days?

I've seen him have a few thousand viewers before, but nothing like this.

A well known streamer (Mitch something, I don't know) hosted him at the end of their own stream, which I believe led to somebody posting about him on Reddit, which happened to reach the front page, and from there it reached everywhere else.

 

[Velcro Fly]

mitchjones (the law) aka watchmeblink1 I believe on twitch hosted him

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Lalalala

Thanks, figured reddit was involved in someway or another.

Why did I take so long to click this thread? Incredible!

 

[Mimosa97]

Because the thread title doesn't do this man justice.

It should say " 70 yo piano GENIUS kills it on twitch MUST WATCH INCREDIBLE "
