Positive Force (VVVVVV) on piano

This is "Positive Force" from "PPPPPP - The VVVVVV Soundtrack". The game was made by Terry Cavanagh, the music composed by Magnus Pålsson aka SoulEye:

VVVVVV is an indie retro platformer in which you don't jump, but instead reverse gravity, with visuals reminiscent of the Commodore 64 era. The soundtrack, called PPPPPP, is composed in a corresponding chiptune style and often cited as a favorite among 2010 game soundtracks, and I can only concur - it is a truly modern re-imagining of chiptune music. For me, the most intruiging thing about it is its complexity. The pieces have so many different layers and musical ideas going on at the same time without ever getting muddy or confusing. Although laden with so many patterns and melodies, they never lose their clarity, and that is very attractive and sets it apart from all other chiptune music I have heard before.

This recording was done back in November. It has its fair share of flaws and that grand had surely seen better days before. I've done an improved digital recording shortly after that which you can find on the newly released PPPPPP Remix/Arrange Album („PPPPPPowerup!") to which I also contributed another arrangement. If you like the music, feel free to buy the album on Magnus Pålsson's website:

Also, if you play games yourself, give the game itself a chance. I don't even know where to begin to tell you how great a piece of sublime art it is:
