Greetings from Bleep-Bloop town! Say, have you ever wondered what Skrillex would sound like on piano and nothing else? Well, now you can hear just that with this handy video below.

We can't find much information on it, but it appears that a Skrillex fan transcribed the dubstepster's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" for a midi piano.

What we end up with is a pretty simplistic melody without the chopped salad beats and air-gasping drops. In fact, after several listens, we keep thinking something different is going to happen. And when nothing does, we break things.

All of this has made me really think about Skrillex's Grammy awards: He won (count 'em) three Grammys in 2012. And this is what's underneath all that digital grime -- a John Tesh-worthy new-age piano track.

So dig your headphones into the video below, courtesy of Break.com.
