What follows was written by Death Note pianist Lucas King - a very talented individual with a haunting take on the music of Death Note. I thoroughly recommend you listen to his YouTube videos, as you hark the exciting news of his latest project here.
 | Hello everybody! I’m Lucas King, a 23 year old pianist and composer on YouTube from the UK. Everyday I upload original compositions, piano & orchestral arrangements of anime tracks, video game themes, movie themes and various other things that I like |
I have recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a Death Note Piano Album. The entire OST played using the Vienna Imperial Piano VST, which is a realistic and high end piano sound. The album will be distributed to all major digital stores and hard copies of the album will be made too.
Being a huge fan of both Death Note and piano music this just has to be done. There’s so many beautiful pieces in the anime. It was one of the things that drew me to it in the first place, I heard Requiem on YouTube and decided to watch the anime solely on how much I loved that music.
It’s not really surprising that the entire OST was consistently great. To me it’s by far the greatest anime soundtrack out there but there’s a serious lack of piano arrangements for some of the pieces.
Here is a video I made for the campaign set to my version of Requiem:

I’ve set various rewards for pledges, some of these include:
Go check out my YouTube channel. There you can find some Death Note arrangements I’ve done in the past as well a load of other anime pieces.
- You naming my next original composition and I’ll write in the description that you named it;
- Signed vinyls;
- Copies of the CD.

I answer as many comments as I can (which is almost all of them I would say 98%) and I read every one I get. So if you fancy chatting I’m always around!
Thank you Death Note News for letting me ramble on. I would love this campaign to be successful. Death Note’s OST is too good to not have a piano album dedicated to it.

You are very welcome! Good luck with the campaign and thank you for the music. ~ Matti/Death Note News.
