| | Video Game Pianist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tommy Tallarico, the first video game composer to release an album and the composer of the soundtrack to the video game "Earthworm Jim," has invited Leung to tour with him as part of the Video Games Live North America Tour. | | | He is one of the first pianists to gain recognition from people around the world for performing video game music on the piano. | | | He wants to show that by performing video game music, a piano solo can be just as enjoyable or even more so than a piano accompanying a singer, such as Alicia Keys or Ben Folds. |

| | His specialty is playing video game music on the piano, with the distinction of being one of the world's first young solo artists—if not the first—to be internationally recognized for the blindfolded performance of the classic Super Mario Brothers theme that has delighted over 40 million viewers on the Web. | | | Video Game Pianist is currently a student at the Cleveland Institute of Music and Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. | | | Essentially, it was exactly that, dabbling with video game tunes on the piano that led me to join my school's wind ensemble in my freshmen year. |

| | While this isn’t the first time a concert like this was ever done in the world, Video Games Live is probably the most diverse concert to tour around the US. | | | An orchestrated concert composed entirely of video game music sounds pretty cool to all you gamers out there. | | | To follow up the huge opening was a video introduction by Koji Kondo who composed the music to the Legend of Zelda and Mario Brothers games. |

| | Thanks from Seattle - Video Games Live Boards |
| | It's one of my favorite video game soundtracks of all time, yet it was one of the most forgettable parts of the concert. | | | I sat with my son remembering the games we played together as he grew up and the games we play now. | | | But they didn't just play old-school music; a majority of the concert was sweeping orchestral pieces from some of the most popular games of the past five years or so. |

| | Better even than the songs themselves are videos of The Video Game Pianist, who clearly takes unusual joy in tackling the speedy, repetitive songs. | | | In the middle of Sunny Day Real Estate's driving reunion album is the manifesto-like "Guitar And Video Games," which tackles love, death, and "the rules of fashion." The solution to life's questions: "We'll play guitar and video games." That may not be the song's central message; then again, maybe it is. | | | In his online mission statement, The Video Game Pianist voices some bold hopes for his work: He feels that, by interpreting video-game themes for classical piano, he can bring the instrument into the mainstream. |

| | The Video Game Pianist, known by a smaller amount of people as Martin Leung, first gained notoriety around the web with a video that was created using his grand piano rendition of the Super Mario bros. theme as the backdrop. | | | For the first time we can look back on the early video game composers and put to rest the argument that they truly were making beautiful music that accented and enhanced the whole mood of the games being played. | | | The Video Game Pianist not only plays the themes, but adds the accent sounds of grabbing coins, getting power ups and stomping on enemies. |
