If anyone's interested, here is a lengthy recording (about fifteen minutes) of me improvising some Layton tunes from memory. A few weeks ago I was granted the chance to record a piece composed by a friend for his video game on one of my college's Steinway pianos, and I couldn't resist the chance to record some other stuff too because it's got such a lovely sound. I messed up quite a few times, probably because I was nervous about being recorded and it was from memory, but overall it's not a bad recording. The pieces I play from in this recording are:
1. "Professor Layton's Theme" from Professor Layton and the Curious Village
2. "Puzzles" from Professor Layton and the Curious Village
3. "About Town" from Professor Layton and the Curious Village
4. "Folsense" from Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
5. "More London Streets" from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
6. "Misthallery's Many Canals" from Professor Layton and the Last Specter
7. "Monte d'Or: City of Miracles" from Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
8. "Labyrinthia" from Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
9. "The Silver Peaks of Froenborg" from Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
10. "Professor Layton's Theme" from Professor Layton and the Curious Village

All arrangements by me except for "About Town" which was arranged by Bloop & Bubbles. If anyone takes the time to listen through this, let me know if you like it!

WOW man.....wish I could play that good. :P
Nice memory!

If I'm being totally honest "Puzzles" sounds a bit off but everything else is really great, I love it.

I wouldn't know because I haven't played the Layton series (yet).
But I love the music!

I finally found the time to listen to it.
Excellent work. I wish I could just play that many songs from memory, and play them that well.

SlowPokemon

Ahhh thank you!! Tbh it's some memory but also improvisation/knowing what the sound should be for a lot of them. For example, I don't have "Puzzles" or "The Silver Peaks of Froenborg" written out anywhere, I just sort of rely on my ear to figure out the chords. And like I never sat down and memorized any of the others, I just played them with the sheets for a while and eventually developed a sense of the piece/its structure. In ways it's really limiting not having a score in front of you, but it can also be freeing. I wasn't planning on playing Labyrinthia until I realized a ways in that I didn't have anything from PLVAA lined up. So where a score wouldn't have left room to add it, doing this on the spot let me transition into it where it wasn't before.

Hey Ace Attorney fans, and especially Maelstrom! I was improvising on the piano today and decided to record a little Ace Attorney medley. It has simple piano versions of the "Objection!" themes from the first trilogy of Ace Attorney games, as well as a surprise that I recorded just for Maelstrom--you'll understand when you hear it. ;) (FYI, I DID have the sheets for the surprise music in front of me--the others were improvised)

This is a sort of "going away" present for you, if you will. Hope you all like it!

Excellent job, especially with that last piece.  ;)
This will definitely be on my iPod for that 14 hour flight.
But really, I couldn't stop smiling. Wonderful job.

Some actual criticism:
Really, really excellent job with the first three. You sounded a bit more confident with those than the hard parts of the last piece.
As much as I love the last song, it took up slightly more than half of the entire recording. That might be a little much, compared to the length of all the other songs.
