The Monster's Theme

In college, I won an award from the Math/CS department for being the most outstanding procrastinator of my senior class. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s exactly fair to say that I procrastinate, though; I\u2019m just perpetually late. My life is like a finely tuned Swiss watch that\u2019s set to the wrong time.

\n\n

So I finally got around to putting The Monster from Keys Please! up on the site. To celebrate the occasion, here\u2019s the opening number in its original, bare, single-piano form:

\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Cantrell\n\n\n\n\u25b6\ufe0f\nThe Monster\u2019s Theme\n\n\nPaul Cantrell, piano\n\n\n\n\n\n\u2b07\ufe0f\nDownload\n\n\n(1:07 / 1.7 M)\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n

Compare that with the full-on decked-out two-pianos-with-Todd-belting-it-out-in-his-monster-voice version from the concert!

I should mention that, if you\u2019re one of these retro folks who likes physical media with high-quality sound and high-resolution artwork, you can buy the CD of the concert. This will also be of interest to those of you who like to support independent artists!

And, in keeping with the \u201calways behind but never idle\u201d theme of this post, I\u2019ve revamped my music home page as I\u2019ve been meaning to do for the last six months. New! Improved! Bright, not just white!
