Congratulations! to the excellent finalists and all who entered, it was an inspiring and amazing event.Everyone should be very proud of their entry, they make up a sincerely terrific body of varied and interesting works and ideas
@Eddie - This goes without saying really, your use of the guitar controller and your skills there are so interestingly combined in a fine take and like mentioned above by rOz, I too was hooked on the fact that listeners might not realise it's not played on a keyboard. Really a consummate performance with a super interesting twist.
@Filip - Creatively generating a visual from the musical mood, edited up to evoke a sweet snapshot of a time and place - unique and a delightful impression. If only my mornings could all feel this way.
@rOz - So much to enjoy, interesting and such wonderful skill. Really was a treat to see 3 instruments played and sounding so enjoyable, along with the thoughtful use of images. Gives shape to the concept of Pianoteq as an historic library of pianos with great creative vision and superb playing. aWc gets a round of applause too.
@Pianoteqenthusiast - Must say your story of Chloe is beautiful (I felt it so moving) - the idea that Pianoteq allows her dream to play pianos a reality is filmic and really was much loved. Your musical journey in the last few years positively touches me, like the story of Chloe - and I'm so happy to have experienced both the entry and your music on the Recordings Featuring Pianoteq forum - we all can keep that dream alive through the story of Chloe and I thank you, not least for the gift of that touching moment when I realised just how much of a very precious message you had made. Be very proud
The many others who entered each deserve praise - I'm sure that without taking anything away from the finalists, many of you also were certainly no less appreciated and enjoyed here. From seriously brilliant performances, charming ideas, improvs, mixing it up with fascinating experiments - thank you all! and to Modartt for such a joy.
