About the lighting in the video, a family member fell asleep on the living room where my piano is, and so I had to keep the lights down and use headphones to not disturb him and my family lolz
I have been using and following pianoteq for about a year now, and have always loved the sound and dynamics it produces, it makes my cheap digital piano feel like a grand, I just don't have the current means to buy better versions yet, but always enjoyed its sound even in the limited trial version
It was a crazy night, with sudden fast recordings, video editings and uploading, so please, please, please consider my entry
]]>The piano is the Blüthner Model One using the Standard Recording AB preset. The keyboard is an Alesis QS8 (I bought ca. 1996!); connected via MIDI to a Steinberg UR22mkII audio interface to a mid-2007 20" iMac running Pianoteq 5.7.1. Sound production is via inexpensive computer 2.1 monitors; audio/vido recording is directly off an iPhone 7.

P.S. We almost didn't get a chance to submit an entry for the contest as he dislocated a finger a couple of weeks ago and hasn't been able to play.
]]>My entry to this year's Pianoteq contest is a mellow, relaxed song:
I hope some of you will enjoy listening!
Cheers

Pianoteq Contest has become a tradition, so I am here again. I wanted to make an animation like the last time, but I was very busy and very ill this month, so it will have to remain for the next contest.
Schöne Minka (also known as 'Jechal kozak za Dunaj') is a folk song probably of Ukrainian origin, but was very popular in Russia, Germany and the old Habsburg Empire, so popular that it has both original Ukranian and German lyrics. Many romantic composers made their version of this pretty song, and the most famous are those composed by Beethoven and Weber.
My composition is based on Francesco Bathioli's version (of course, I reinterpreted and extended the variations and added the final campanella). I hope you'll like it.
I used Steinway piano, classical recording preset, but changed some parameters looking for a darker sound - for that I called it Steinway Hamburg.
Best luck to all of you.
Les plus cordiales salutations à tous les amis francophones. Y también muchos saludos a mis queridos hispanohablantes.

Modified D4 preset used.
]]>JLValero Happy birthday. Highest calibre playing. Jealousy is called for . . . .
]]>I was always looking at the entries the previous years but this time I decided to participate!
I wrote an original piece of music using mainly chromatic percussions:
I hope I'm not the last one, October was really a busy month for me!
For those who are curious about the way I used the W1 and the Electra-piano instruments: I recorded single notes and put reversed recordings of them through some gate.
]]>That Linnstrument looks fun ... but $1500 just for something new for me to goof around with is too much.
]]>Here is my entry for Pianoteq video contest. An improvisation of a theme that came to me a few days after I imagined the waves of the ocean called Melodic waves in C major. Hope you like it
]]>Super-well-done! Almost like PDQ Bach without the Bach. I guess it's PDQ Other-Composers. Using such a light, common theme was genius, rather than picking something serious. This way it lends quite well to everything from the 'flip' Offenbach to the 'heavy' Beethoven to the dreamy Satie.
Again, well done!
