I hate syncopation.

So I have this piano, right? And there's this game Portal with a really catchy theme song, right? And then there's me, who cannot play by ear, I suck soooooooooooooooo very bad at it, but my ear is good enough for me to sit down and, going one measure or so at a time, figure out the notes to something.

So this is what I'm doing. Given that I'm also kind of iffy on translating heard rythms to the correct notes, and the song hasn't got a plain rythmic line in it, it's going veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slowly. And then putting the harmony and bass line and so on to it is going to take even more time, but here's what I have so far:



This was about half an hour's work, and is the lines "This was a triumph, I'm making a note here, huge success." with the melody line only.

So... don't expect the whole thing any time soon.
