Topic: My 2023 Album - Ruby

Hi everyone!

I would like to share my new album which was released today. There are a total of ten tunes in this album and all the piano parts were recorded using Pianoteq pianos. Here is the YouTube link:

It is also available on other major platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud and Apple Music.

Here are the Pianoteq instruments I used for each track:

1. The Intro: Steingraeber
2. Tell Me: Steingraeber
3. Demons: YC5
4. Daydreaming: Steingraeber
5. Ruby: Steingraeber
6. November: YC5, Steingraeber
7. Divargar: Blüthner
8. Lighthouse: Steingraeber
9. Stranger: Blüthner
10. Relief: Steingraeber

Also, here is a video I made with the title track 'Ruby' in case you are interested to watch :)

I hope you enjoy listening to the album!

Hi Kaman,

Thanks for sharing!  Listened to the Intro, for me it had progressive rock vibe to it or perhaps the dawn of progressive.  Jumped to Demons and I think my suspicions were right about the influences. Ruby the titled track is quite cinematic, nice.

My favs from this album are Intro, Demons, Ruby and Stranger. I can't say there is one style in this album but that isn't bad thing. Well done!

Thanks Ken!

I have to say that you are spot on about the progressive vibe point. I actually grew up listening to prog rock for a good number of years (and still) and often have that tendency to be 'proggy' at times when writing music. In this album, I decided to unleash all my tendencies and do whatever I want which is why, in referring to your second point, the album doesn't follow a particular style which is again something I completely agree with. Thanks again for the comments and have a nice day/night!

Thanks budo! Yes, all the acoustic piano parts are Pianoteq but the electric pianos are Lounge Lizard.
