Re: MODARTT VIDEO CONTEST 2024 - entries

Prelude and Fugue in G BWV 541 (playing only the Prelude).
From J.S. Bach's Best and Most popular Organ Works, BWV 541 - someone said, ”a wonderful piece, I think the most brilliant ever”!

Recorded for Modartt Video Contest 2024 by Stig, using headphones Grado Labs SR125X, Mac Mini late -14, DAW Garageband and Organteq 2.

I don't have a pedalboard yet so I have to play the bass part from the keyboard.

Let it be said now, that I have always had, and have, complex about my small hands, and therefore I don’t film them during my playing. It feels as if they are not good enough in some cases, and a bit stiff now with a small hook on the little fingers.

But I am happy that I am still able to participate, a twelfth (12th) time, and with Organteq for the first time!  And I love these competitions, they are a great inspiration for me. Thank you Modartt.

And, Good luck to all participants!

Stig

Excellent video and great playing! - Organteq is getting very good now - I have very small hands too. If anything, you should show them off more - it is far more challenging playing difficult pieces with small hands, than it is seeing people with enormous hands just reach big chords with ease. An octave is a full stretch for me, so an octave +1 is just about achievable if I'm right on the edge of the keys - but trying to play any notes in between is painful.

Re: MODARTT VIDEO CONTEST 2024 - entries

Another hybridization project between VCV Rack and Pianoteq, mixing ostinatos and delays over a subtle canvas of shimmer reverb and choir. This is a piece I recorded while developing the NoteEcho module, which is coded in C++ for the VCV Rack platform. The motivation behind the module (and the piece itself), was that the usual delay effect is typically audio-based, and I wanted a modular delay effect that would instead delay the actual midi notes that go to Pianoteq, which then allows separate modulations to be applied to the notes (namely: pitch offset, velocity and probability). A Valhalla ping-pong audio delay is also used for an added torrent of notes! Using the condition slider and the celeste pedal on the U4 really helped to get the vibe needed for the piece. As a side note, in the initial midi recording of the piece I was not using the sustain pedal (virtual brick on the pedal), and after watching the polyphony go above 150 or so during editing, I went back and automated the sustain for the final rendering :-)

This year, I have created a MIDI-file of well-known Schubert' impromptu (Op.142 No.2), using score input method ("staff view" mode) in the DAW/sequencer Cakewalk-by-BandLab/SONAR.
As shown in the video, I let the piece play with Bösendorfer 280VC.
No external effect plug-ins are used.
Thank you for listening and watching my video.I hope you enjoy it

Thanks so much Stig! And congrats for your entry this year, it's a very nice way to kick off the contest!
It's quite fun to participate in these, I like that it gives me motivation to put a little extra effort into making something special, and I'm sure it's the same for everyone here, so cheers to all that will enter the contest. Make something that you're proud of!

Hello everyone. I'm a classically trained musician who has spent a lot of time in Mongolia.
So here's my inter-cultural contribution (not sure how else to describe it!) to this year's video contest.

Re: MODARTT VIDEO CONTEST 2024 - entries

For your information I had to delete two entries since they didn't follow one of the following contest rules:

- The video needs to be new, not published before.

- It needs to be clear on your video that you are using Pianoteq 8 or Organteq 2, either by showing the interface, talking about or displaying Pianoteq 8 or Organteq 2 in text.

Re: MODARTT VIDEO CONTEST 2024 - entries

Improvised Minor Blues (jazz)

Pianoteq 8 kinda blew me away... To be able to feel truly *inspired* by the tone and feel of virtual instrument is the challenge, and this one does it effortlessly. Awesome.

As always I love seeing all the wonderfully creative performances posted here! For this performance I used one of the Steinways and altered the velocity curve a bit. I tried to demonstrate both softness, power and responsiveness of the instrument. Apologies for any clipping in the audio...
