Topic: L'hiver

Hello everyone,
I come back for another home studio experiment using Pianoteq in a particular configuration:
it starts out as a piece for voice and piano written decades ago, which I arranged this year by adding a string quartet.
The strings are taken from the Spitfire Solo Strings library.
The piano is my more or less variable tweak of a Steinway (Hamburg) by Pianoteq of course.
I record my voice in Re recording with a XY pair of Schoeps MK4.
I try to obtain the most plausible sound possible taking into account all the constraints, and I find that Pianoteq helps tremendously with this!
I would add one thing that you know well and which is very pleasant: as much as the orchestral or string samples are enormous and occupy a pharaonic place as well as processor resources, the PIanoteq modeling is flexible and light, which does not never poses a problem to combine in heavy assignments (here not too much by the way).
Have a good day.

Re: L'hiver

Thank you very much for listening!

Regarding the composition, I remember with amusement that my teachers were a little sorry to see me indulge in a slightly retrograde style in their eyes. I was just a student in a setting where it was almost shameful to chain two classified chords !

Haha.

But after all, too bad, the main thing is to have fun with our modern tools.

And at that time, I would not have dared to dream of being able to make this type of model in a home studio setting, mainly on the computer. This is even more true for orchestral samples that were still pure science fiction, when we spend hours trying to have a DX7 dialogue with an Atari 520 st... (and that my commodore 64 was mainly used to play Bruce Lee VS the dragon)...
