You play so beautifully and with a naturalness that I find very appealing, fascinating. And you are so expressive! It seems like you deeply connect with every single note you play. Well done as always.

Thank you sincerely Stig for your encouragement! I appreciated your kind comments to participants every year during the contest. You always post first, I watch and enjoy your videos very much every year.
I am a piano lover restarting playing piano about two years ago after a long long blank period.
This is my ordinary video, meaning it contains only keyboard and my hands, so I don’t know if you have any interest in it, but still I believe you can see the beauty of Pianoteq.
I usually play Bach in several instruments like clavichord, harpsichord, fortepiano, modern piano and pipe organ, all of them are provided by Pianoteq except pipe organ. I’m a big fan of Pianoteq. Thank you.
As you can see I use my foot to play, I only have one arm but that doesn't stop me from much. Also I own pianoteq 7 stage, and I'm trying the 8 Standard demo, it is really cool all of the parameters you can change. It really lets you create your own unique sound.
When you play that good you get a free pass for pretty much anything! Superb articulation and dynamic control, it was a pleasure to listen to from start to finish!
"And live to be the show and gaze o' the time." (William Shakespeare)

this is very inspiring! not only for your talent and determination, but also your awesome gear setup. hope to see more on this forum!
Hello, everyone! Here is my work for the contest this year. I really enjoyed using Pianoteq whenever I play or compose things. Many users' works above are astonishingly good! Hope you can listen to my humble work as well. Thank you!
This is my feeble entry to the competition. It's not very good, but I will get better next time as this is the first time I am able to record using Pianoteq after some trial and error over the holidays. I will record the entire Toccata once I can get the sound decent. Filmora screen recording seems to degrade the audio. I will figure it out soon and do better next year.
Here is my humble offering for this year's contest, where I pit my woefully deficient, one-hand-at-a-time piano skills against all the excellent players here. Thanks Modartt for the opportunity and amazing products, and look forward to seeing everyone's entry!

Haha, holy cow man. That was so much fun to watch. Absolutely love your harmonization here, the use of 7 different Pteq instances, the super funky arrangement, and a great video to showcase what's going on!

Thanks – your comments made my day! It was a lot of fun to put together, except for all the practising I had to do (guitar player here).
For the past few years, most of my compositions have been in just intonation, but this one is in 31 equal divisions of the octave, recorded on a Lumatone. I appreciate not only the sound of Pianoteq, but also how intuitive Pianoteq makes it to experiment with just intonation and microtonality.
This piece grew out of an improvisation that I had to practice in order to repeat. The left hand pattern is 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 throughout. There's a hint of a 3 against 7 polyrhythm at the beginning, then lots of 2 against 3, and some 4 against 3 in the coda.
I like using notes that are close in tuning in similar phrases, so that once the memory of that pitch has slightly faded, I'll alter one note so that it's close but not quite the same. I did this with the Bb that approximates 16/9 vs. the A# that approximates 7/4 a bit in this piece.
The title is from a poem that I love by Wayne A. Gilbert, published in his wonderful book, Sacred Chill.
Wayne's stunning poem is posted here with his gracious permission:
Nowhere
on the ledge too narrow to turn around too narrow for me to crouch sit
on my left straight up a cliff rises
on my right straight down forever
i am here
ahead the narrow ledge disappears around a sharp corner
I am very pleased to share another musical opus recorded specially for MODARTT VIDEO CONTEST 2022.
The main keyboard is the same as before (an old CASIO CDP-100) but I am rather satisfied how the touch feels on this MIDI keyboard. But soon I am midifying some old grand piano action and will see how that feels (the work in progress).
This composition is a old theme of mine written "in the table" and collecting the dust there for years. Have improvised it in various ways on my black friend - Schedmayer grand piano. "Steingraeber Warm" preset was used. First I've wanted to add a few other instruments (There is a very good Piano Tampura patch made from NY S&S D) but then I've decided that one is enough. Sorry for some lags on the video - have to upgrade camera for 60fps, 30 or 25 are insufficient for fast movements with low light.
ORGANTEQ can be used freely. But it is primarily a program for traditional organists. For my competition entry, I chose a beautiful composition by Hieronymus Praetorius. https://youtu.be/TA8IRkpa28w
Very beautiful rendition - thanks a lot for sharing !
My goal was to show, what untraditional piano-behaviour Pianoteq 8 is capable of. Unfortunately it seems that MPE is still not completely supported but with my Joué-Controller it is possible to use single note detune, vibrato and bending. With these possibilities, I was able to make a short improvisation in "Gig Performer" with one Instance of Pianoteq 8 harp (freezed in Eventides Blackhole) and three instances of Hamburg Steinways: the 1st instance just for a loud and delayed sustain pedal to form a beat the 2nd instance with loud action and a bass-heavy EQ for the bass-accompainment the 3rd instance with a tape-delay as a "lead"
I hope this shows the versatility and possibilities of pianoteq.
I made this short video for the 2022 Pianoteq Video Contest, to show how I'm using Pianoteq and Logic Pro X to compose an eight-hour piece of music based on the birdsongs of Sydney, Australia. All the music you'll hear was created with Pianoteq instruments, and the birdsong field recordings I transcribed for the piece were made by Fred van Gessel. I hope you enjoy listening, and best of luck with the contest!

Hi dear all, Please enjoy my last minute entry. It's a mash up of Silent Night and Hallelujah, with some harmonic modulations. May you have a very happy new year, Eran https://youtu.be/OtcU6twAm7E
Hi everybody! Here I am with my entry for this year's contest, in the very last day beacuse it took me some time to mix the track and prepare the video!
I decided to participate with this instrumental song based on piano and bass guitar that we have just finished writing this month, called Space Tunnel.
To follow the different moods in the song I have used four different piano configurations, one for the main core of the song, two more intimate ones for two softer parts and a more dreamy one for the ending. All are morphing or layering of different presets of different piano models.
It was great to experiment with the different possibilities to shape the sound, until I found the tone that in my opinion suits each part best.
Congratulations for all the great entries and best of luck!
Here is my entry to the competition. I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I'm a professional pianist but I'm playing a lot of other instruments to on the video, if you check it out please stick to the end because it changes quite dramatically from the beginning. Best wishes, Mike
Here is my video. The music is from the 2003's Greek movie "A touch of spice"(the title is written in Greek in the video). The English title is "Up to the attic" and the composer is the amazing Evanthia Reboutsika. Enjoy, good luck to all and have a peaceful 2023.

Voici donc ma nouvelle participation au concours annuel Pianoteq. En 2017 je m'étais promis de ne plus y participer après 5 années consécutives, place aux autres. Puis il y a deux ans, crise covid aidant et relativement désœuvré je me suis dis "ne jamais dire jamais" et j'ambitionnais de présenter une vidéo avec un morceau de Carla Bley et l'utilisation d'objets 3D pour l'illustrer. Sauf que je n'avais aucune notion dans le domaine de la 3D que je découvrais alors et malgré un travail acharné il m'a bien fallu me rendre à l'évidence, on ne maitrise pas cet univers en... une semaine, fou que j'étais (projet qui a été mis en route à ce moment là pour ce morceau et est toujours en cour de développement, c'est dire à quel point j'étais naif).. Mais de cette tentative ratée est né une passion pour tout ce qui touche à l'animation et deux ans après je me suis senti d'attaque pour réitérer l'expérience mais avec un background plus conséquent.et un nouveau projet, m'incruster en vidéo dans un joli univers. Mais bien que j'ai anticipé ma participation cette fois si et entrepris mon travail assez en amont de la date fatidique, je n'ai pas pu aller au bout de ce que je voulais et c'est une version bricolé à la hâte que je vous livre. Je trouve ça tout de même joli mais c'est loin d'être achevé. N'en reste pas moins le concours Pianoteq génère chez moi une belle motivation, les règles du concours donnant une liberté de choix extraordinaire rare, c'est une vraie invitation à la créativité la plus débridée et pour cela je tiens à remercier Modartt.
J'espère que vous apprécierez la vidéo entre autre pour le gros travail qu'elle a demandé. )

Here is my new participation in the annual Pianoteq competition. In 2017 I promised to no longer participate after 5 consecutive years, place to others. Then two years ago, COVID crisis helping and relatively idle I said to myself "never say" and I was trying to present a video with a piece of Carla Bley and the use of 3D objects to illustrate it. Except that I had no notion in the field of 3D that I discovered then and despite a hard work I had to face the facts, we do not master this universe in ... a week, crazy that I was (project that was started at that time for this song and is still in the development court, that is to say how naive I was) .. But from this failed attempt was born a passion for everything related to animation and two years later I felt an attack to reiterate the experience but with a more substantial background. And a new project, increased in Video in a nice universe. But although I anticipated my participation this time if and undertook my work upstream of the fateful date, I could not go to the end of what I wanted and it is a hastily tinkered version that I gives you. I find it all the same pretty but it is far from finished. There remains the Pianoteq competition generates a great motivation, the rules of the competition giving a rare extraordinary choice, it is a real invitation to the most unbridled creativity and for that I would like to thank Modartt.
I hope you enjoy the video among other things for the big job she asked. : o)
Hi everyone and happy new year! This is my entry for contest of this year. I converted the audio performance of Gamazda's YouTube Channel to midi and I render the midi file with Pianoteq 8 demo (Bechstein).
This is an original composition which was written as the soundtrack underlying a philosophical video on how we perceive in our subjective reality that which we believe in. This abbreviated version focuses on the piano, which is a modeled Blüthner of Pianoteq 8 Standard by Modartt.
